- Ipswich travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City
- Arsenal face tricky trip to Aston Villa
- Brighton welcome Manchester United to the Amex Stadium

The Premier League heads into the second round of fixtures this weekend, starting with Saturday's 12.30pm clash between Brighton and Manchester United at the Amex Stadium.

We run down all 10 games and have a score prediction for each.

Brighton vs Manchester United (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Brighton opened with a brilliant 3-0 victory at Everton and they will feel confident of backing that performance up with a home win over Manchester United, who have won just one of their last five away matches in the league.

Score prediction: Brighton 2-0 Manchester United

Crystal Palace vs West Ham (Saturday, 3pm)

Crystal Palace narrowly went down 2-1 at Brentford but they will be hoping a return to Selhurst Park, a venue they have won their last four league games at, can spark a return to winning ways against a West Ham side that lost to Aston Villa last time out.

Score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 West Ham

Fulham vs Leicester (Saturday, 3pm)

Fulham were edged out 1-0 at Old Trafford first up but there were enough positives from that display to suggest they can pick up the three points at home to Leicester on Saturday.

The Foxes shared the spoils against Tottenham on Monday but Steve Cooper's side rode their luck and gave up several opportunities.

Score prediction: Fulham 2-0 Leicester

Manchester City vs Ipswich (Saturday, 3pm)

City are on a 30-game unbeaten run at home in the Premier League and after easing to a 2-0 win at Chelsea last time out, they will be confident of defeating an Ipswich team that lost 2-0 to Liverpool on the opening weekend.

Score prediction: Manchester City 3-0 Ipswich

Southampton vs Nottingham Forest (Saturday, 3pm)

Southampton lost 1-0 against 10-man Newcastle last Saturday and they may find life tough when hosting Nottingham Forest, who conceded late to draw 1-1 at home to Bournemouth in their opener.

Score prediction: Southampton 0-1 Nottingham Forest

Tottenham vs Everton (Saturday, 3pm)

Tottenham will be desperate to make up for their wastefulness in the 1-1 draw at Leicester on Monday and they could have plenty of chances to score when hosting Everton, who lost 3-0 at home to Brighton and sit bottom of the table.

Score prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Everton

Aston Villa vs Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Villa defeated Arsenal home and away last season and they could be a thorn in the Gunners' side once again, with a hard-fought contest expected on Saturday evening.

The Villans edged past West Ham 2-1 in their opening match while Arsenal defeated Wolves 2-0.

Score prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Arsenal

Bournemouth vs Newcastle (Sunday, 2pm)

Bournemouth sneaked a draw at Forest last time out and another share of the spoils could be on the cards against Newcastle, who battled to a 1-0 win against Southampton when down to 10 men but were not at their attacking best.

Score prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Newcastle

Wolves vs Chelsea (Sunday, 2pm)

Head coach Enzo Maresca is still getting to grips with his oversized Chelsea squad and the Blues may be forced to work hard against a Wolves side that will be eager to improve after their opening-day loss to Arsenal.

Score prediction: Wolves 1-1 Chelsea

Liverpool vs Brentford (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Liverpool looked solid in a 2-0 win at Ipswich last time out and they should be able to follow that up with victory at home to Brentford, who tasted success just five times on the road in the league last season.

Score prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Brentford
