The Game Notes: Bournemouth will be looking to make the most of being back at the Vitality after a narrow opening-day defeat, and their performance against City offered plenty of encouragement. Everton have started brightly, but a trip to the south coast could prove a tougher test, with Bournemouth capable of edging a competitive game.
Spursv
NewcastlePredicted

Actual
0 - 2
Miss
The Game Notes: Spurs should have more confidence after bouncing back with a convincing cup win, but their opening-day defensive display showed there are still gaps to exploit. Newcastle arrive after an entertaining draw with Liverpool and another high-scoring cup win, so with both sides looking capable of causing problems going forward, a 2–2 feels a good fit.
Chelseav
BrightonPredicted

Actual
4 - 3
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Both sides have made an explosive start, with Chelsea edging a five-goal thriller at Fulham and Brighton putting four past Villa. Chelsea have the home advantage, but Brighton's attacking confidence makes another open contest likely, with the hosts just shading it.
Leedsv
BrentfordPredicted

1 - 1
Miss
The Game Notes: Leeds have started strongly and look well organised at the back, but Brentford arrive with plenty of momentum after a convincing opening win and another cup victory. The Bees have looked dangerous going forward, and that attacking edge could be enough to see them nick a narrow win at Elland Road.
Sunderlandv
FulhamPredicted

Actual
1 - 0
Miss
The Game Notes: Both sides will be keen to put their opening-day defeats behind them, which could make this a fairly cautious contest. Sunderland should get a lift from their first Premier League home game of the season, while Fulham have enough about them to come away with a share of the spoils.
Man Utdv
IpswichPredicted
2 - 0
Actual
5 - 2
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: United will be determined to put their opening-day setback behind them, and Old Trafford gives them the perfect opportunity to respond. Ipswich showed plenty of promise in their first game back in the Premier League, but United should have enough control at home to keep them at arm's length.
