Southampton vs. Man Utd (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Two teams seeking to return to winning ways after suffering defeats prior to the international break square off at St Mary's on Saturday lunchtime, as Southampton play host to Manchester United.
The last time these two sides faced each other was in March 2023 when they played out a goalless stalemate in the top flight at Old Trafford.
We say: Southampton 1-2 Manchester United
Both teams find themselves under pressure to turn their fortunes around at this early stage in the season following underwhelming starts, and they will back themselves to come away from this fixture with a positive result.
Three of the last four meetings between these two sides have ended as a draw, and another tight affair could be in store on Saturday, but we are backing Man United to come away with a slender victory on this occasion.

Brighton vs. Ipswich (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Brighton & Hove Albion welcome newly-promoted Ipswich Town to the Amex Stadium for a Premier League fixture on Saturday afternoon.
The two teams meet for the first time since February 2017 when they played out a 1-1 draw on the South Coast in the Championship.
We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 Ipswich Town
Both Brighton and Ipswich will attempt to play on the front foot and push forward at any given opportunity, so an entertaining contest could be on the cards on Saturday.
However, the Seagulls will be regarded as favourites in front of their own fans and should have few problems outscoring their opponents, even if they are without a few first-team players due to fitness issues.

Crystal Palace vs. Leicester (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Both still searching for their first Premier League victory of the 2024-25 campaign, Crystal Palace and Leicester City scrap it out at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
The two strugglers have only accrued one point each from their first three games of the new term so far, albeit while finding salvation in the EFL Cup.
We say: Crystal Palace 3-1 Leicester City
Palace and Leicester cannot both concede first on Saturday afternoon, even though both sides have a propensity to fall behind, but neither goalkeeper should add another clean sheet to their tally in the capital.
Glasner's men put in a much-improved performance at Stamford Bridge two weekends ago, though, and with the hosts also reinforced by several new arrivals, we are backing the Eagles to soar to their first Premier League win of 2024-25.

Fulham vs. West Ham (Saturday, 3.00pm)
An all-London Premier League battle takes place at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon when Fulham play host to West Ham United.
Both teams, who failed to win their final matches prior to the international break, square off for the first time since April when the Hammers were beaten 2-0 by the Cottagers at the London Stadium.
We say: Fulham 2-2 West Ham United
Fulham have been a strong outfit on home soil for some time and will fancy their chances of success against a West Ham side who they thrashed 5-0 in this exact fixture last season. The Hammers will be no pushovers this time around, though, and even if Fullkrug misses out, they still have a number of players who can cause the Cottagers problems in the final third.
Only two of the last 16 meetings between these two teams in all competitions have ended all square, but we can see the spoils being shared in this weekend's contest.

Liverpool vs. Nott'm Forest (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Two unbeaten Premier League records will be on the line at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, when Liverpool welcome Nottingham Forest to their Merseyside home.
Arne Slot's men eased past bitter foes Manchester United 3-0 before the international break, while the Tricky Trees settled for a point in a 1-1 draw versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.
We say: Liverpool 2-0 Nottingham Forest
While it is still very early days in Slot's reign, it is difficult to highlight any weaknesses in this current Liverpool team, who should have no problems keeping low-scoring specialists Forest at bay.
The international break should not have disrupted the Reds' momentum too much, so we can only picture Slot's 100% record staying intact as Forest head home empty-handed.

Man City vs. Brentford (Saturday, 3.00pm)
Manchester City will endeavour to preserve their perfect start to the 2024-25 campaign when they welcome Brentford to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The two teams meet for the first time since February when the Citizens secured a slender 1-0 home victory courtesy of a second-half strike from Erling Haaland.
We say: Manchester City 3-1 Brentford
Brentford could cause Man City one or two problems in the final third through Mbeumo and Wissa, but it is difficult tn back against Guardiola's men outscoring their opponents on this occasion.
Also taking into consideration their exceptional unbeaten home record, the league-leading Citizens have our vote to kick-start September with maximum points and continue their perfect start to the new season.

Aston Villa vs. Everton (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Having made contrasting starts to the Premier League season, Aston Villa and Everton will convene at Villa Park on Saturday evening.
While Villa have won two games from three so far, a bitter last-gasp defeat last time out leaves the Toffees still seeking both their first point of the 2024-25 campaign and a long-awaited new owner.
We say: Aston Villa 2-1 Everton
English football's most-played fixture will quite likely go Aston Villa's way once again, as Everton have been worryingly shaky at the back and can be vulnerable to pace.
Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and co can open up the visitors' defence and post Villa's third league win from four, before embarking on an exciting European campaign.

Bournemouth vs. Chelsea (Saturday, 8.00pm)
The international break came at an ideal time for Chelsea, who seek to put an end to a two-game winless run in Saturday's Premier League showdown with Bournemouth.
The Blues could only muster a point from a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace two weekends ago, while the Cherries pulled off one of the greatest comebacks the competition has ever seen against Everton.
We say: Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea
Chelsea playing away from home almost always means no clean sheet for the men in blue, who should not end their streak without a shut-out against a goal-happy Bournemouth crop, even if the two-week hiatus came at the worst time for Iraola's side.
In contrast, a fortnight's reset should have done the Blues the world of good, and we have faith in Maresca's wealth of attacking options to breach a youthful Cherries backline at least twice en route to victory.
