Chelsea will kick off Premier League Match week three when they welcome newly promoted side Luton Town at Stamford Bridge, hoping to win their first game of the season.
Manchester United will play host to Nottingham Forest. Newcastle United will reckon horns with Liverpool. Manchester City and Arsenal will play Sheffield United and Fulham respectively.
Previewing the weekend round of matches as Betfair Ambassador, He revealed:
Chelsea vs Luton Town
“It’s a must-win game for Chelsea and on paper it’s an easy win, but they have to do it after a disappointment in the last game. They need to wake up as soon as possible after spending so much money, almost one billion, that’s crazy. They need to wake up, starting with Luton it is a game they can win easily if they are smart enough. Prediction: 2-0.”
Bournemouth vs Tottenham
“That’s a good one to follow up and see how Spurs are going to continue after the impressive win against Manchester United, are they going to slump and drop points or continue the trend of playing well? Bournemouth won’t roll over. This could be tricky. I will go for a draw. Prediction: 1-1.“
Brentford vs Crystal Palace
“Brentford, have been excellent, they’re a tricky side to play against. At home they really make it count and I am expecting them to continue their winning trend and beat Palace. Prediction: 2-1.”
Arsenal vs Fulham
“Mitrovic is gone now and Fulham need to find goals and consistency. Fulham’s result against Brentford was horrible and it’s going to be another tough game against Arsenal. Under Arteta, Arsenal played really well and they know how to get three points even when they don’t play well, like last time against Crystal Palace, so I think they will win. Prediction: 3-1.”
Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest
“It’s a must-win for Manchester United otherwise people will talk about a crisis in the team. They need to wake up and start playing, otherwise, the season will be over and it will be another one that has passed away without the success that everybody is expecting. United need to win and they need to do it with style, but to be honest, any win will do. Prediction: 2-1.”
Everton vs Wolves
“Both teams are in trouble. Everton have lost the bullying factor at their stadium, teams are not afraid to go there anymore, Everton let them play football. They need to be in their faces constantly. I like Sean Dyche and I hope this is the game they start winning, so I’m going with Everton. Prediction: 1-0.”
Brighton vs West Ham
“This is going to be a good game because West Ham have just beaten Chelsea and not enough people give credit to Brighton. I would like to see Brighton stay first for as long as possible, so I will go for them to win. Prediction: 4-2.“
Sheffield United vs Manchester City
“You hope for a surprise or something unusual like Sheffield United getting a point from the champions, you want a fairy tale, but City have too much quality and it will be a shock if they drop points so I will have to go with Guardiola’s team. Prediction: 0-3.“
Burnley vs. Aston Villa
“I sympathise with Vincent Kompany because he brought Burnley to the Premier League and it will be a challenge for them to stay up. Aston Villa had a great performance last time, but Burnley are not to be underestimated and they play with fire. I’ll go for a draw. Prediction: 2-2.“
Newcastle vs Liverpool
“This is going to be a great game and I’m going for Newcastle. People don’t pay too much attention to Newcastle, they have a great squad and played well against City. Liverpool are not the way they used to be with players leaving, especially in midfield, so I think Newcastle can exploit these weaknesses. Prediction: 3-2.“
