Watkins to strike as Villa march on
-
Salah to hurt Man Utd at Anfield again
14:00 - Arsenal v Brighton
Arsenal are aiming to bounce back from last weekend's defeat to Aston Villa. However, the Gunners have lost their last three home games against Brighton and the Mikel Arteta v Roberto De Zerbi tactical battle should be engrossing.
The good news for the Gunners is that since losing 3-0 to Brighton in May, Arsenal are unbeaten in 12 home games in all competitions (W10 D2),
scoring at least twice in 11 of those matches.
Bukayo Saka has been in great form at him, getting involved in 13 goals in his last 11 appearances at the Emirates Stadium in all competitions, scoring eight and assisting five.
14:00 - Brentford v Aston Villa
Aston Villa have won plaudits for their home form this season but, while they drew at Bournemouth in their last away game, they are unbeaten in all six of their Premier League games in London under Unai Emery (W4 D2). They won at Spurs last time they played in the capital.
Brentford have lost four of their last five Premier League games (W1), as many as in their previous 18, but have lost just four of their 27 Premier League home games. Arsenal had to work hard to win here 1-0 last month.
Coming into this weekend's games, there are five players to have scored a joint league-high three winning goals in the Premier League this season - two of them are Aston Villa players (John McGinn and Ollie Watkins). McGinn score the decisive goal against Arsenal last weekend but we will back Watkins to play a big part against his former club here.
14:00 - West Ham v Wolves
West Ham have won their last three Premier League home games against Wolves. The visitors are without a win in their last 10 Premier League games on a Sunday, although it is the hosts who were in Europa League action on Thursday.
Their 2-0 win over Freiburg should have done David Moyes' men the power of good, coming as it did after their 5-0 defeat at Fulham last weekend. Last time West Ham played on Thursday at the East London Stadium and then again on Sunday, they beat Nottingham Forest 3-2.
Only Brighton, Liverpool and Tottenham (all 16) have scored in more different Premier League games this season than Wolves (15). Indeed, the last time they failed to score in the competition was their opening game against Manchester United in August. We will both teams to score in this one.
For all the progress Wolves are making under Gary O'Neill, they have lost their last three away league matches, and they are without a win in their previous 13 Premier League away games in London (D3 L10).
16:30 - Liverpool v Man Utd
Mohamed Salah has scored 12 goals in 12 games against Manchester United - a record for any Liverpool player - and must be backed at Anfield again this Sunday.
Speaking of Anfield, the Reds have won all seven of their Premier League games there this season. Only in 2019-20 (the year they won the title) have Liverpool begun a Premier League campaign with a longer home winning run.
There is little reason to believe that a United team, which crashed out of Europe in midweek after their worst ever Champions League campaign, can halt that run. They lost 7-0 here last season and Erik ten Hag's priority may be to avoid a repeat drubbing. United may go for damage limitation and keep the margin of victory down to around 2-0.
