Round 5 Predictions

2 - 1

Actual: 0 - 0

The Game Notes: Liverpool have made a strong start domestically and followed a convincing league win with a positive Champions League result, so confidence should be high at Anfield. Fulham have struggled defensively and arrive without a league win, but they have enough going forward to make this more competitive than the table suggests.

2 - 0

Actual: 2 - 2

The Game Notes: Chelsea have had a mixed week after losing to Arsenal before recovering in the cup, which should restore some momentum. Hull have made a respectable unbeaten start, but Stamford Bridge and the difference in quality should see Chelsea regain their league form with a comfortable win.

1 - 2

Actual: 0 - 0

The Game Notes: Spurs are still searching for their first league goal and have managed just one point from their opening three games, while Everton remain unbeaten after picking up late points in their last two outings. The visitors look the steadier side right now, making a narrow Everton win a tempting call.

1 - 2

Actual: 0 - 2

The Game Notes: Sunderland have shown plenty of resilience since their opening-day defeat, but Arsenal arrive with three league wins from three and another clean-sheet victory in Europe midweek. The Stadium of Light should make this awkward, yet Arsenal's current momentum should see them edge it.

0 - 2

Actual: 0 - 5

The Game Notes: Coventry have had a difficult opening run against some of the division's stronger sides and are still searching for their first league win. Brighton have already shown plenty of attacking threat this season, so they should have enough to take control and come away with a comfortable victory.

2 - 2

Actual: 0 - 1

The Game Notes: United's league form has been inconsistent, but the emphatic Champions League win in midweek provides a useful boost before the derby. City arrive with a perfect start and plenty of attacking confidence, so Old Trafford should produce an open contest with both sides capable of finding the net.
