Post2Post Predicts – Gameweek 10 of the Premier League Season

Another week of predictions lays ahead, as the title race hots up and we head into November. After a week of mourning on a personal level, after a 0-5 home defeat to my team’s fiercest rival’s, I will consider if certain teams will either bounce back, continue their form or, perhaps, neither of these, as questions continue to be answered, week after week.

12:30 SAT

Leicester 2 – 1 Arsenal

The lunchtime game to kick off the weekend is certainly a tricky opening fixture to predict. I trust Leicester to boss the midfield, but I do think both teams will score in this game. The hosts to narrowly take the three points and, in doing so, make it three wins on the bounce.

15:00 SAT

Burnley 1 – 1 Brentford

Brentford losing goalkeeper Raya is a big loss for them, after such a strong start to the season. I still feel, however, that they are good enough for a point at Turfmoor, with Burnley currently struggling to generate a win anywhere. A game, where the defences, should dominate.

Liverpool 3 – 0 Brighton

I do not believe that Brighton will allow themselves to be trounced by the home team here, although a repeat shock victory at Anfield, is not set to repeat itself. Brighton, as mad as it sounds, are more of a solid outfit than United, but it should still be a classy and easy win for the hosts. Salah should continue to shine and expect Mane to return to the goals. Moreover, the defence should also complete another shut out as the return of Van Dijk is increasingly felt.

Manchester City 4 v 1 Crystal Palace

It would not shock me if Palace caused City problems, and may even take the lead. However, the Sky Blues will have too much for the Eagles to handle. Former employee of the City, Patrick Viera, will be looking to prove a point, but will struggle to take anything away from this game. Jesus to be among the goals.

Newcastle 0 – 2 Chelsea

A rejuvenated yet manager-less Newcastle United will look to make Saturday difficult for Thomas Tuchel’s men. However, I expect Chelsea to continue to looks strong, and Newcastle do not, as of yet, have the players to compete with this sort of side. The top three look set to pull away, from the rest, this weekend.

Watford 2 – 2 Southampton

Where did those five goals come from? Watford looked set to miss out on any points with fifteen minutes to go at Goodison Park last week. However, quarter of an hour later, Ranieri claimed a comprehensive 5-2 victory in his first game. That being said, Southampton will still pose a challenge and shouldn’t capitulate like the Toffees did last week. A hard fought, end-to-end game, will end with the spoils shared.

17:30 SAT

Spurs 3 – 1 Manchester United

Most pundits have United to bounce back here, and it is true that the Red Devils will have to respond this weekend. Whether or not they do, however, it a different question. Spurs, under pressure themselves, will equally want to win and, in a way, need to. Harry Kane will be back among the goals as Ole endures yet another likely defeat. A score draw is an equally likely possibility, however.

SUN – 14:00

Norwich City 1 V 2 Leeds United

I will repeat, Norwich cannot buy a win at the moment. It would not surprise me if they go the entire season without one. They have a great chance this weekend, with an injury-depleted and form-less Leeds side. That being said, the last minute point salvage against Wolves should boost the Leeds confidence. I still feel that the Yorkshire outfit will prove too much for the Canaries. But the yellows won’t have many better opportunities, to take three points.

SUN – 16:30

Aston Villa 1 v 1 West Ham United

Either side could win this game, which makes it an exciting prospect. The Hammers will be inspired by yet another Carabao Cup midweek scalp, whereas Villa are looking to bounce back from some early season disappointment, since the famous victory at Old Trafford. A low scoring draw is a more than likely outcome and one that neither side will be too disappointed with.

MON – 20:00

Wolves 3 v 2 Everton

A Monday night fixture with both teams eager to prove a point. Everton especially after that aforementioned self destruction at home to Watford. That being said, Wolves could spring somewhat of a surprise by beating Rafa Benitez’ side here and continuing their recent, strong, run.
