Brighton vs Spurs
Final Score: 2 - 2
The Game Notes: Brighton have been stubborn at the Amex and took points off top sides recently, while Spurs arrive on a hot start that's included a standout away win but with a busy run of fixtures around this trip that could rein things in. With Brighton solid at home last season and this one, and this matchup at the Amex often tight, a 1-1 feels about right.

Man Utd vs Chelsea
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: Old Trafford hosts a Chelsea side on a tidy unbeaten away start and four-game league run near the top, while United's early-season form at home has been mixed. This matchup is often cagey, but with Chelsea's away output trending up - despite a long winless stretch at this ground - and United still searching for rhythm, a 2-1 edge to the visitors makes sense.

We Predicted
Fulham vs Brentford
Final Score: 3 - 1
The Game Notes: Craven Cottage has been kind to Fulham so far, and they've made a habit of nicking late winners; meanwhile Brentford's away start has been flat, and this derby's recent league meetings have tilted Fulham's way. In a tight game where territory and set-pieces could decide it, a narrow 1-0 to the hosts tracks.

We Predicted
Sunderland vs Aston Villa
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Sunderland have been stubborn on their Premier League return - unbeaten in three of four and fresh off a gritty clean sheet - while Villa's league start has been scratchy, only just snapping a scoring drought in midweek without turning it into a win. With the Stadium of Light lively and the visitors still searching for fluency, a balanced 1-1 feels right for where both teams are right now.

We Predicted
Bournemouth vs Newcastle
Final Score: 0 - 0
The Game Notes: Bournemouth have jumped out quickly and looked sharp at the Vitality, with an early top-four spot and a perfect home league start. Newcastle arrive off a taxing European night that ended in defeat and with an up-and-down away trend to open the league, so edging a lively game 2-1 to the hosts fits the moment.
2 - 2
We Predicted
Arsenal vs Man City
Final Score: 1 - 1
The Game Notes: Arsenal have been ruthless at the Emirates to start the season (back-to-back home wins, 8-0 on aggregate) and sit near the top, while City arrive off a midweek European game with a quick turnaround. With recent league meetings swinging toward the hosts - including that emphatic February result - home form plus the schedule context nudges this toward a 2-1 Arsenal win.
