Arsenal vs West Ham
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: Arsenal look set to flex at the Emirates: they've been a tough home out across the last couple of seasons and roll in with momentum after a late comeback at Newcastle and a controlled 2-0 in Europe midweek. West Ham arrive in the bottom three with one of the leakier defences so far, so if the hosts strike first this derby could tilt quickly - 3-0 feels about right.

We Predicted
Man Utd vs Sunderland
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: United have been up-and-down in the early weeks - beating Chelsea at Old Trafford but slipping at Brentford - so they don't exactly scream "walkover" here. Newly promoted Sunderland have been tidy and hard to put away, taking points in back-to-back games (including a gritty win at Forest), so a cagey 1-1 at Old Trafford is very much on the cards.

We Predicted
Chelsea vs Liverpool
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: Stamford Bridge feels set for a punch-for-punch kind of night: the visitors are top but just blinked with a couple of recent setbacks, while the hosts have been up-and-down in the league yet steadied with a midweek win. This fixture leans toward tight, high-tempo exchanges and has thrown up plenty of stalemates over the years, so a lively 2-2 wouldn't surprise.

We Predicted
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: Palace roll into Merseyside buzzing after stretching their unbeaten streak to a club-record 19 with a composed European away win on Thursday, and their form on the road has looked steady for months. Everton have tightened up but are coming off a draw and a generally low-scoring spell, so this feels like the kind of game the visitors edge 1-2.

We Predicted
Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest
Final Score: 2 - 0
The Game Notes: Fresh off a statement 4-0 win in Europe, Newcastle head back to St James' Park with a tailwind, while Forest arrive on a rough run after a chaotic 3-2 home loss in midweek that extended their winless streak and highlighted set-piece frailties. If the hosts dictate early, a tidy 2-0 feels on-brand for this matchup.
1 - 3
We Predicted
Brentford vs Man City
Final Score: 0 - 1
The Game Notes: City have steadied after a shaky August and roll in unbeaten in six with one of the league's liveliest attacks. Brentford are rugged at the Gtech and unbeaten at home, but City usually generate enough to pull clear - 1-3 feels about right.
