There's some tough #EPL games to call this weekend as the Premier League is now starting to shape up. It's also the first Manchester derby of the season which normally brings a lot of goals and drama.
However, first up is Norwich at home to Aston Villa - both teams have not had the best starts to the season, returning one win each in their first four games. Home advantage just sees Norwich given the edge. Liverpool are the early pace setters but failed to gain all three points against Swansea last weekend. Swansea had a great midweek win in Europe so will be interesting to see if they can build on it. However, Liverpool at Anfield are tough to beat and a Reds win is predicted. West Ham and Everton are both sitting mid table as the Toffees are still trying to get used to the post David Moyes era. Everton must be on a high after coming from behind to beat Chelsea last weekend whereas West Ham haven't won in the league since the first game of the season. Given West Ham have the home advantage a draw is forecast as there two teams can't be split.
The evening game on Saturday sees Fulham travel to Chelsea in a west London derby. Chelsea have had a poor week, losing to Everton last weekend and a shock defeat at home in Europe to FC Basle. Jose Mourinho did comment that he will need some time to build his team but it does appear they desperately lack striking options. With three months until the transfer window opens, will it be too late? Nonetheless, I really can't see a Jose Mourinho Chelsea team not winning three on the trot and Fulham haven't had the best of starts. Should be a comfortable home win. Sunday starts with Arsenal at home to Stoke. The Gunners have had mixed results against Stoke in recent seasons and have struggled against their physical style of play. But with Arsenal being on top form Stoke will struggle and a home win is predicted. Spurs will be looking to keep up with the pace of the front runners and visit the Welsh capital, Cardiff. Cardiff have had a fair start to the season and seem like the most likely of the promotees to survive the first season of the Premier League, but Spurs are in decent form and appear to be too strong. Away win forecast.
Lastly, as mentioned earlier we've got the first Manchester derby of the season and the chance for one of them to draw first blood. United and City are two of the favourites for the title and they'll both be desperate to take all three points. Both teams have new managers and neither have had the best starts to the season. The Predictor can't split them and a draw is the predicted outcome.
As usual I've included the main European leagues along with South American and Asian leagues. If you want to include a specific league then please let me know.
