Spurs vs. Arsenal (Sunday, 2.00pm)
This weekend's Premier League main event comes from a raucous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Ange Postecoglou's Spurs and Arsenal clash in the first North London derby of the season on Sunday afternoon.
The Lilywhites entered the international break on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United, while the Gunners lost their perfect start in a controversial 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Arsenal
Merino-Rice-Odegaard would have been the perfect Arsenal midfield for Sunday's blockbuster derby, but the Gunners now face being overrun in the engine room while also losing Odegaard's invaluable ingenuity in the final third.
Arteta's troops can still expose Spurs' frailties at the back, but we cannot see a way for the visitors to earn the derby bragging rights with their current selection crisis; North London should be lilywhite this weekend.

Wolves vs. Newcastle (Sunday, 4.30pm)
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United have the honour of closing out this weekend's Premier League fixtures with a Sunday afternoon showdown at Molineux.
Gary O'Neil's men are still searching for their first top-flight win of 2024-25, while the Magpies have accrued a promising seven points from their first three games of the new term.
We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Newcastle United
Each of the nine previous Premier League showdowns between Wolves and Newcastle at Molineux has seen both teams score, and we can see that streak stretching to 10 on Sunday, taking into account Wolves' lack of clean sheets and the Magpies facing the most shots in the Premier League so far this term (54).
The potential returns of Schar and Tonali will add a bit more backbone to the visitors' XI, though, and the irrepressible trio up front should do what they do best to fire Howe's side to a gritty victory.
