Newcastle vs Wolves
Final Score: 1 - 0
The Game Notes: Wolves are heading to St James' Park without Jørgen Strand Larsen and sit bottom after three straight league defeats, which tilts this toward the hosts. Even with Yoane Wissa out, Newcastle have owned this matchup lately - three league wins on the bounce, including two recent 3-0s - so a tidy 2-0 at home makes sense.

Bournemouth vs Brighton
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: Back at the Vitality, Bournemouth have a nice tailwind after tight back-to-back league wins over Wolves and Spurs. Brighton did spark into life with a cup rout and a stirring home comeback against City, but their league away form still looks shakier after the opening loss at Everton - so a narrow 2-1 for the hosts adds up.

West Ham vs Spurs
Final Score: 0 - 3
The Game Notes: West Ham steadied themselves with that 3-0 at Forest but are still bedding in new faces (Igor Julio, Soungoutou Magassa) with Niclas Füllkrug touch-and-go, while Spurs - despite that Bournemouth reality check - travel with fresh firepower in Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons under Thomas Frank. At the London Stadium, it feels set up for a lively contest that edges Tottenham's way, finishing 1-2.

Brentford vs Chelsea
Final Score: 2 - 2
The Game Notes: Brentford have been a bit up-and-down to start, while Chelsea arrive looking organised with seven points from three. The Blues are missing Liam Delap until December, but Cole Palmer is back in partial training and could feature, whereas Brentford may get Vitaly Janelt back after his long heel layoff. Under the lights at the Gtech, that tilt in availability and form points to a tight away win - 1-2.

We Predicted
Burnley vs Liverpool
Final Score: 0 - 1
The Game Notes: Burnley have shown fight but the step up has bitten - losses at Spurs and United around that Sunderland lift - and they're still light at the back with Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts out. Liverpool are thriving under Slot after three wins from three, so it feels like the visitors' quality will see them to a 1-3 victory.
2 - 2
We Predicted
Man City vs Man Utd
Final Score: 3 - 0
The Game Notes: City come into the derby on the back of two defeats, looking a touch unsettled defensively, while United have their own injury concerns but carry momentum after edging Burnley in a thriller. Both sides still have plenty of attacking options and enough gaps at the back to make it lively, so at the Etihad this one feels primed for a scoreline of 2-2.
