Post2Post Predicts Week 4 of the Premier League Season

By Paul and Joe Murphy

After a somewhat disappointing 10 points last game week for Post2Post, whereas Sean Edwards got a comparably more impressive 14 points, we go head to head with James and Murphy Productions very own Paul, in a battle over the fourth round of fixtures. With the international break over, some players missing and injured, as well as some new faces, there is much to ponder. Let’s see our guests thoughts…

J&M- Crystal Palace 1 – 1 Tottenham Hotspur.

P2P – Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Tottenham Hotspur.

I’ll go for Palace 1-1 Spurs, I think Palace will stop Spurs super start to the season as Spurs have been scrapping home in all three games 1-0 and Palace are a tough team to break down at home and I feel they always have a goal in their locker..

J&M – Arsenal 2 – 0 Norwich

P2P – Arsenal 2 – 1 Norwich

I think Arsenal have to much strength for a weak Norwich side and I’ll go for a 2-0 win for the gunners here. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a Smith-Rowe goal too. I think once Norwich hit the bottom of the league here they’ll be there for the season.

J&M – Brentford 1 – 1 Brighton

P2P – Brentford 0 – 1 Brighton

Brentford have had a good start to the season, while Brighton have also started well, I think this one is a draw banker for Saturday so I’d go for 1-1 again.l

J&M – Leicester City 1 – 3 Manchester City

P2P – Leicester City 2 – 2 Manchester City

Leicester v Man City is a juicy affair, but I feel City have hit their stride in the last couple of weeks, but Leicester are not walkovers so it might be tougher here for City although I still see them coming out winners, so I’ll go for 1-3 to the Sky Blues.

J&M – Manchester United 3 – 0 Newcastle United

P2P – Manchester United 2 – 1 Newcastle United

Ronaldo is back and hopefully he’ll start at home to an ear deafening roar from the home supporters, I see Man United continuing their solid start to the season with a comfortable 3-0 here and the romantic in me says Ronaldo gets his first goal back.

J&M – Southampton 2 – 1 West Ham United

P2P – Southampton 1 – 2 West Ham United

Free flowing West Ham should be too strong for the Saints on paper, but I’m not convinced as they drew at home to Palace and beat a woeful Newcastle away, so I think it might be an inspiring performance From Southampton which earns them a tight win by 2-1, although 2-2 was a very tempting option also.

J&M – Watford 2 – 0 Wolves

P2P – Watford 1 – 2 Wolves

Watford have been playing some nice football since their promotion whereas Wolves are struggling to get off the mark, but they have played some nice football. With home advantage, I’m going for a Watford win by 2-0.

J&M – Aston Villa 1 – 3 Chelsea

P2P – Aston Villa 0 – 2 Chelsea

Chelsea are in very good form and with Lukaku adding strength to the forward line I see them being big title contenders this year, Villa are looking like a team that’s reshaping after the loss on Grealish and I think Chelsea will win this one by a safe 3-1.

J&M – Leeds United 1 – 2 Liverpool

P2P – Leeds United 0 – 3 Liverpool

Leeds v Liverpool is always an interested and open game from two attacking sides meaning prediction can be difficult, but Liverpool have found a nice rhythm to their play whereas Leeds are a little bit gung-ho in their approach, so going for discipline over adventure I’ll take Liverpool to win this by 1-2.

J&M – Everton 2 – 0 Burnley

P2P – Everton 1 – 1 Burnley

Monday night sees Everton host Burnley, and although Burnley are pretty compact and strong at the back, they lack a bit of fire power up front and therefore I see Everton being too strong for them in front of a noisy home crowd and I think Calvert-Lewin will get back on the scoresheet in an Everton 2-0 win.
