The Citizens have lost six of their last seven away games in all competitions, while Aston Villa have won three of their last four in all competitions.

Score prediction: Aston Villa 2-2 Manchester City

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest (Saturday, 3pm)

Brentford's tally of 22 points from eight home games is the best return in the Premier League ahead of their encounter with Nottingham Forest.

However, the Bees have conceded 14 goals at home and next face a Nottingham Forest side who have won four of their eight away games in the Premier League, losing only two.

Score prediction: Brentford 1-1 Nottingham Forest

Ipswich vs Newcastle (Saturday, 3pm)

Eddie Howe will look to cap off a good week for Newcastle with a third successive win

Ipswich remain winless in the Premier League at home, and that should continue against Eddie Howe's Newcastle.

The Magpies have got to improve their away form after just two wins in eight fixtures, but they have won their last two games in all competitions.

Score prediction: Ipswich 1-2 Newcastle

West Ham vs Brighton (Saturday, 3pm)

West Ham have steadied the ship of late with just two defeats in their last six league games. The Hammers picked up an important point on the road against Bournemouth on Monday, while Brighton are winless in four games in the Premier League.

The Seagulls have managed to collect 11 points from eight away games, so they should be able to take something from the London Stadium.

Score prediction: West Ham 1-1 Brighton

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Just three days after meeting in the Carabao Cup, Crystal Palace and Arsenal will lock horns once again.

The Eagles put up a fight in a 3-2 defeat at the Emirates and they have been involved in some lively games of late. Both teams have found the back of the net in seven of Palace's last nine matches in all competitions.

Publicidad

Arsenal have won six of the last eight games between the two clubs, and another entertaining match should be expected at Selhurst Park.

Score prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal

Everton vs Chelsea (Sunday, 2pm)

Chelsea will look to maintain their title charge at Goodison Park against Everton.

The Toffees held Arsenal to a goalless draw last week, but Chelsea are the Premier League's top scorers, although they have only kept one clean sheet in their last 11 league matches.

Score prediction: Everton 1-2 Chelsea

Fulham vs Southampton (Sunday, 2pm)

Marco Silva's Fulham have held Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool as well as beating Brighton in their last four games

Southampton caretaker boss Simon Rusk got a tune out of his players as the Saints lost 2-1 to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Rusk's side are still winless away from home, though, and they have only found the net four times, while Fulham are unbeaten in four games and have lost only twice at Craven Cottage in the league this season.

Score prediction: Fulham 1-0 Southampton

Leicester vs Wolves (Sunday, 2pm)

New Wolves coach Vitor Pereira will hope to settle in quickly against fellow strugglers Leicester.

The Foxes were thumped 4-0 by Newcastle last weekend but are unbeaten in two at home, while Wolves have lost four on the spin.

Score prediction: Leicester 2-1 Wolves

Manchester United vs Bournemouth (Sunday, 2pm)

Manchester United's winning run was ended by Spurs in a 4-3 defeat in the Carabao Cup on Thursday.

The Red Devils have scored at least two goals in their last four games, although Bournemouth will be a tough nut to crack having gone unbeaten in four in the Premier League.

Score prediction: Manchester United 2-2 Bournemouth

Tottenham vs Liverpool (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Tottenham are unbeaten in three games in all competitions while they have scored 13 goals in their last four.

While they should be able to find the net at home, Liverpool have set the standard in all competitions so far and are unbeaten in 20 matches.

Score prediction: Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool
