Round 7 Predictions

1 - 2

The Game Notes: Brighton arrive with plenty of confidence after putting five past Coventry, but Arsenal have won their last four and are yet to drop a point in the league. The Seagulls should make the Amex a tricky place to visit, though Arsenal’s recent consistency gives them the edge.

2 - 2

The Game Notes: Newcastle need to tighten things up after conceding four at Leeds, while unbeaten Hull have made an excellent start to life back in the top flight. With Newcastle’s defensive issues and Hull’s confidence, this looks capable of turning into an entertaining contest with goals at both ends.

1 - 0

The Game Notes: Forest finally picked up their first league win last weekend and now return to the City Ground, where they’ll be keen to build some momentum. Coventry are still without a point, and with overall confidence low, a home win makes sense.

1 - 2

The Game Notes: Bournemouth are still searching for their first league win, although Thursday’s European victory should provide a useful lift. Liverpool remain unbeaten and have already shown they can grind out results, so despite the Vitality making this awkward, a narrow away win feels right.

2 - 0

The Game Notes: City have started the league season perfectly and will be looking to maintain that momentum at home. Sunderland have made a respectable return to the top flight and won in Europe this week, but the Etihad presents a much tougher challenge and City should have enough control to keep another clean sheet.

1 - 2

The Game Notes: Fulham are still waiting for their first league win, while United have taken only four points from their opening four and will be keen to respond after the derby defeat. With both sides looking for a lift, a tight away win fits the prediction.
