Sports Mole takes on Jack, Sam and Karla from the band SPRINTS for a Premier League predictions challenge in gameweek nine of the 2023-24 season.

Premier League football returns this weekend after the October international break, and it is back with a bang as the first Merseyside derby of the campaign gets gameweek nine underway with Liverpool hosting Everton at Anfield.

That kicks off a bumper Saturday which sees eight matches take place, including a London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal and an enticing showdown between Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Manchester United are also among those in action on Saturday, while Sunday sees Aston Villa take on West Ham United before another London derby rounds off the gameweek as Tottenham Hotspur host Fulham on Monday night.

Each gameweek, Sports Mole is taking on a famous musician or band in a prediction competition, and this week it is the turn of Arsenal fan Sam and Manchester United fans Jack and Karla from the band SPRINTS.
