The Game Notes: City have started the season strongly with two convincing wins and look in good rhythm going forward. Coventry are newly promoted and have made a decent start themselves, but the step up in quality at the Etihad should be telling, making a comfortable 4-0 home win a fair call.

The Game Notes: Forest have already shown they can compete with the best, taking a point from Liverpool last weekend, while Spurs are still searching for their first league points after a difficult opening. The City Ground could make the difference in what looks like another close contest, with Forest edging it 2-1.

Exact score - 5 points
The Game Notes: Brighton have had an encouraging start but face a Leeds side that has looked competitive since returning to the top flight. With both teams showing enough going forward while still having the odd defensive question mark, a balanced 1-1 feels about right.

The Game Notes: Hull have made an excellent start to life back in the Premier League, winning both of their opening games without conceding. Villa, though, should provide a much sterner test, and despite their own slow start, they have enough quality to finally get their campaign moving with a narrow 2-1 win.

Actual
2 - 2
Correct result - 2 points
The Game Notes: Everton have settled well into their new surroundings and should fancy their chances of making home advantage count. United have responded positively after a disappointing opening result, but neither side has looked completely convincing yet, pointing towards a tight 1-1 draw.
Arsenalv
ChelseaPredicted

Actual
2 - 1
Exact score - 5 points
The Game Notes: Both sides have made perfect starts, so this should be a fascinating early test between two teams carrying plenty of confidence. Arsenal's control and defensive solidity give them a slight home advantage, but Chelsea have started with real attacking intent, making a hard-fought 2-1 feel right.
