Chelsea vs Sunderland
Final Score: 1 - 2
The Game Notes: Stamford Bridge has been a happy hunting ground lately, with Chelsea stringing together tidy wins - Liverpool at home and Forest away - and scoring freely in the process. Sunderland have started brightly but their last big away test ended in a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford, so a controlled 2-0 home win feels about right here.

We Predicted
Newcastle vs Fulham
Final Score: 2 - 1
The Game Notes: St James’ Park has given Newcastle a bump lately - a tidy 2–0 home win over Forest in the league and a 3-0 European cruise in midweek - while Fulham’s recent away league trips have been rough (defeats at Villa and Bournemouth) and they drew a blank last time out. Put that together and a sharp 3-0 home win feels on-brand.

We Predicted
Man Utd vs Brighton
Final Score: 4 - 2
The Game Notes: Old Trafford usually nudges tight games United’s way, and after a slow start they’ve steadied with a recent win over Sunderland and impressive victory again Liverpool away. Brighton have looked lively - with wins against Chelsea and Newcastle - but their league form has swung week to week, so a narrow 2-1 home edge makes sense.
1 - 2
We Predicted
Aston Villa vs Man City
Final Score: 1 - 0
The Game Notes: Villa Park will be bouncing - Villa are on a nice run after that comeback at Spurs, and they did turn City over here last season. But City have tightened up with back-to-back league wins and another solid away result in Europe, so a narrow 1-2 to the visitors tracks.
3 - 0
We Predicted
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Final Score: 1 - 0
The Game Notes: Arsenal have been performing at the Emirates, and cruising near the top early on. Palace have had a great run, but a late loss at Everton and that chaotic 3-3 against Bournemouth at home hint at vulnerabilities - so if the hosts get on the front foot, a comfy 3-0 checks out.
1 - 1
We Predicted
Everton vs Spurs
Final Score: 0 - 3
The Game Notes: Everton have turned their new home into a tricky stop - unbeaten there so far with wins over Brighton and Palace plus a draw with West Ham - while Spurs have travelled well, taking wins at West Ham and Leeds and a point at Brighton. Factor in Spurs’ wobble last weekend and this feels like one each: 1-1.
