- Liverpool have dropped just five points in this season’s Premier League
- Manchester City have lost five and drawn one of their last six matches in all competitions
- Brentford have scored 18 goals in their six home league games

Arsenal will look to end a run of four away league matches without a win when they head to West Ham on Saturday, while Leicester begin life without sacked manager Steve Cooper with a tough-looking trip to Brentford. 

Ian Wilkerson has correct-score picks for all 10 Premier League matches.

Brighton vs Southampton (Friday, 8pm)

Brighton can go second with a win over bottom-side Southampton and they should get it. The Saints have lost all their away games so far and while they have scored in seven of their last 10 outings, do not expect them to keep the Seagulls at bay.

Score prediction: 3-1

Brentford vs Leicester (Saturday, 3pm)

Leicester have sacked manager Steve Cooper and look up against it when they face Brentford, who are rampant at home. The Foxes have scored in five of their six road matches, but the Bees should prove too strong.

Score prediction: 3-1

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle (Saturday, 3pm)

Crystal Palace are improving — they drew 2-2 at Aston Villa last week — but they have won only once and were poor last time they were at home to Fulham. Newcastle have scope to bounce back from a disappointing home performance in defeat to West Ham on Monday.

Score prediction: 1-2

Nottingham Forest vs Ipswich (Saturday, 3pm)

Nottingham Forest need to recover from defeats to Newcastle and Arsenal which have curtailed their positive start. Opponents Ipswich will have been lifted by winning at Tottenham and drawing with Manchester United, so they can take a point at the City Ground.

Score prediction: 1-1

Wolves vs Bournemouth (Saturday, 3pm)

Bournemouth have beaten Arsenal and Manchester City at home recently but they have won just one of their last eight league road games and could come unstuck at resurgent Wolves, who have turned the corner after a poor start.

Score prediction: 2-0

West Ham vs Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30pm)

West Ham were excellent at Newcastle on Monday and have taken seven points from their last three league home games, so this will be no easy task for Arsenal, who have failed to win their last four league away matches.

Score prediction: 2-2

Chelsea vs Aston Villa (Sunday 1.30pm)

Chelsea are looking the real deal this year and have lost just two of their last 18 home league games. They should have too much for Aston Villa, who have strong attacking options but have lost their last two league games on the road at Tottenham and Liverpool.

Score prediction: 3-1

Manchester United vs Everton (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Manchester United showed great resilience to come back to win against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday and look to be settling in under new boss Ruben Amorim. They should see off Everton, who have scored only three goals in their last six games, with minimal fuss.

Score prediction: 2-0

Tottenham vs Fulham (Sunday, 1.30pm)

Tottenham are a hard team to get right following a home loss to Ipswich, a 4-0 victory at Manchester City and a draw with Roma in the Europa League. Fulham could provide them with a tough test and earn a point.

Score prediction: 2-2

Liverpool vs Manchester City (Sunday, 4pm)

Pep Guardiola has won just once in nine visits to Anfield as Manchester City boss and that record is unlikely to improve on Sunday. The Reds have dropped just five points this season and can terrorise a shaky Citizens defence.

Score prediction: 3-1
