EPL Week 3 Predictions
—
Arsenal vs Brighton – Emirates Stadium
Arsenal ($1.33)
Brighton ($9.50)
Draw ($6.00)
Two sides with 100% records clash here to kick off game week 3, as Arsenal host Brighton at the Emirates Stadium. The Arsenal Premier League title bid is really gathering momentum and with plenty bigger name acquisitions this summer, the Gunners do look to have all of their ducks in a row. Meanwhile, Brighton have started the campaign in fine fettle, with wins over Everton and Manchester United and European football looks to be within their reach again this season. This is a stern test though and Arsenal should prevail here.
Betting tip: Arsenal to win the match ($1.33)
Arsenal to win 3-1
Leicester City vs Aston Villa – King Power Stadium
Leicester City ($4.50)
Aston Villa ($1.80)
Draw ($3.90)
Two teams who suffered tight losses last weekend will face off here, as Leicester City host Aston Villa at the King Power. The Foxes have shown up well in their opening two games this term but succumbed to Fulham late on last weekend and they will need to improve here. Aston Villa meanwhile will lament their missed chances against Arsenal and were made to pay the price, but they remain on course to challenge for the top 4 again this term. This should be a good one, with Villa probably having too much in the tank for Leicester.
Betting tip: Aston Villa to win the match ($1.80)
Aston Villa to win 2-0
Ipswich Town vs Fulham – Portman Road
Ipswich Town ($3.00)
Fulham ($2.35)
Draw ($3.65)
Having felt the wrath of some of the Premier League’s big boys, Ipswich Town now host Fulham, in what should be an entertaining encounter in Suffolk. The Tractor Boys gave both Liverpool and Manchester City a brief scare but simply couldn’t sustain it. Fulham picked up their first win of the campaign last time out against Leicester City and they will be chasing another win over a promoted side here. This should be a good one, with Fulham probably having too much quality in key areas.
Betting tip: Fulham to win the match ($2.35)
Fulham to win 2-1
Nottingham Forest vs Wolves – City Ground
Nottingham Forest ($2.10)
Wolves ($3.60)
Draw ($3.65)
Unbeaten Nottingham Forest take on a Wolves side who shipped 6 goals at the expense of Chelsea last weekend. Forest have picked up 4 points from their opening two games and they quietly look to be going about their business this term. Wolves meanwhile have played Arsenal and Chelsea, but the manner of their defeats will be a disappointment for Gary O’Neill’s side. There isn’t much between these two teams though and a draw looks quite likely.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.65)
1-1 Draw
Brentford vs Southampton – Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford ($1.80)
Southampton ($4.60)
Draw ($4.10)
Brentford will be looking to make home advantage count again this weekend, as they welcome Southampton to West London. The Bees are very strong in front of their home fans and will be looking to bounce back after losing to Liverpool last weekend. Meanwhile, Southampton have yet to score a Premier League goal this season and are starting to feel the pinch a touch. This should be a good one, which Brentford should manage to prevail in.
Betting tip: Brentford to win the match ($1.80)
Brentford to win 2-0
Everton vs Bournemouth – Goodison Park
Everton ($2.75)
Bournemouth ($2.60)
Draw ($3.50)
Everton continue to operate on a shoestring under Sean Dyche and Bournemouth look set to present their next big challenge. The Toffees are a side low on confidence and they know that they need to start winning games, in order to avoid another relegation scrap. Bournemouth meanwhile are a side who are unbeaten this term, picking up two draws from their opening two games and they will be looking to kick on in this one. There isn’t much between these two sides and this could be an attritional draw.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.50)
1-1 Draw
West Ham United vs Manchester City – London Olympic Stadium
West Ham United ($7.50)
Manchester City ($1.44)
Draw ($5.40)
Champions Manchester City face their next tough challenge, as they travel down to London to take on Julen Lopategui’s West Ham. The Hammers picked up their first win of the season on the road at Crystal Palace last time out and they will be bang up for rattling into City here. The blues were given the slightest of scares against Ipswich Town last weekend but came roaring back and they are slowly getting their players fit once more. This should be a good one, with West Ham perhaps primed to pick up a point.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($5.40)
2-2 Draw
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace – Selhurst Park
Chelsea ($1.65)
Crystal Palace ($5.00)
Draw ($4.50)
Chelsea will be looking to continue to ride their crest of a wave under Enzo Maresca, as they take on Crystal Palace in West London. A 6-2 win on the road at Wolves has certainly lifted the mood at Chelsea and they will want to put on a show for their home fans here. Palace meanwhile have been well beaten in their first two games and they look to have a few issues under Oliver Glasner. This won’t be completely one-way traffic, but Chelsea should come out on top in this one.
Betting tip: Chelsea to win the match ($1.65)
Chelsea to win 3-1
Newcastle United vs Tottenham – St James’s Park
Newcastle United ($2.50)
Tottenham ($2.60)
Draw ($4.20)
Two sides chasing a top 4 finish come the end of the campaign meet here, as Newcastle United host Tottenham in a fascinating encounter in the North East. Toon have picked up 4 points from their opening two games and look to be ready to mount a decent challenge again this term. Meanwhile, Tottenham have the same number of points and looked good in thumping Everton last weekend. This should be a very good game, with the draw seeming to be the most plausible outcome.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($4.20)
1-1 Draw
Manchester United vs Liverpool – Old Trafford
Manchester United ($3.90)
Liverpool ($1.85)
Draw ($4.20)
A huge clash is on the horizon in Salford, as Manchester United host Liverpool on Super Sunday. United’s early season optimism was punctured by their late defeat at Brighton last weekend and there is a feeling of déjà vu about Erik ten Hag’s men currently. Real optimism is surrounding Liverpool though, who are looking the part under Arne Slot and who are drumming up talk of a Premier League title challenge. Liverpool are in fine form, and they should have way too much in the tank for a faltering United here.
Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($1.85)
Liverpool to win 3-1
