Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd
Final Score: 2 - 2
The Game Notes: United come into this one buzzing after back-to-back league wins over Liverpool and Brighton, so confidence and goals are there. Forest have just had a lift in Europe but in the league they’re still stuck near the bottom and have been conceding plenty, especially against the stronger sides. That combo makes a tight 1-2 away win feel the neatest fit.

Burnley vs Arsenal
Final Score: 0 - 2
The Game Notes: Arsenal are rolling right now - eight wins on the spin, barely conceding, and they’ve already gone to places tougher than Turf Moor and come back with three points. Burnley have steadied a bit at home but that 5-1 at City and a long, miserable record against Arsenal tell the story, so a clean, businesslike 0-2 to the visitors fits.
2 - 2
We Predicted
Crystal Palace vs Brentford
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: Palace are flying at Selhurst after that late 2-1 over Liverpool in the league and recent away 0-3 and a tidy away win at West Ham, but Brentford are in one of those spells where they just keep scoring - 3-2 last weekend, cup 5-0 in midweek - and this fixture has a habit of finishing level (five draws in the last eight league meetings). So a punchy 2-2, with both sides having a go, fits the recent vibe.

Spurs vs Chelsea
Final Score: 0 - 1
The Game Notes: Chelsea tend to enjoy this derby - they’ve won the vast majority of recent meetings and no one’s taken more wins at Spurs’ place than them. Spurs have cooled a bit after that home 1-1 with Wolves, while Chelsea showed away they can punch hard with that 5-1 at West Ham and then steadied again in Europe, so edging this 1-2 to the visitors tracks.

West Ham vs Newcastle
Final Score: 3 - 1
The Game Notes: West Ham’s league form has dipped - home defeats to Palace and a 3-0 earlier in September, plus only a draw at Everton - and they’ve been conceding a bit too easily at the London Stadium. Newcastle, meanwhile, have pieced together a handy run over the last 10 days with wins over Fulham and Spurs and a confident European performance, so backing them to edge another away game 2-1 feels fair.
2 - 1
We Predicted
Man City vs Bournemouth
Final Score: 3 - 1
The Game Notes: City are usually ruthless at the Etihad - nine wins in their last 10 there and fresh off a 3-1 cup win to steady things after that Villa defeat - but this isn’t the old Bournemouth turning up to defend. The Cherries are flying near the top, unbeaten in eight, and scoring in pretty much every league game, so it’s easy to see City controlling it but still getting clipped once, which makes 2-1 a sensible shout.
