Sheffield United v Newcastle United (7.30pm): The Blades still await their first victory having secured just one point from five games, although all four of their losses were by a single goal. Newcastle ended their three-game losing run by beating Brentford last week, but go into the game on the back of a draining Champions League draw in Milan. Prediction: Sheffield United 1 Newcastle 2. AFP

SATURDAY - Crystal Palace v Fulham (6pm): Palace were 1-0 up until the 87th minute at Aston Villa last week before conceding three goals at the death. Fulham edged to a narrow victory over Luton but it will be the Eagles turn to do the same this time round. Prediction: Palace 2 Fulham 1. Getty

Luton Town v Wolves (6pm): A miserable start to the season for both so far. Luton have played four, lost four, scoring just two goals. Wolves have at least won a game but lost the other four and outplayed Liverpool for 45 minutes last week before capitulating to a 3-1 defeat in the second half. Prediction: Luton 0 Wolves 2. AFP

Manchester City v Nottingham Forest (6pm): City have won seven out of seven across all competitions since losing on penalties to Arsenal in the Community Shield, although they have had to come back from a goal down in three of those matches. Forest have made a solid start losing just once in their last four games. Prediction: City 3 Forest 1. AP

Brentford v Everton (8.30pm): Brentford fell to a narrow defeat at Newcastle last week, their only loss in five games this season. It has been a miserable start for Everton who have taken one point from a possible 15, scoring just twice, and with a potential takeover adding to the uncertainty for the blue half Merseyside. Prediction: Brentford 2 Everton 0. PA

Burnley v Manchester United (11pm): Burnley earned their first point of the season when they drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forsest on Monday. They face a United side that have lost three out of the last four games and are struggling with issues on and off the pitch. Prediction. Burnley 1 Man United 0. Reuters

SUNDAY - Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur (5pm): A tough North London derby to call. Both teams have identical records of 13 points from a possible 15 but with Spurs enjoying a marginally better goal difference. Honours even here put plenty of goals at the Emirates. Prediction: Arsenal 2 Spurs 2. EPA

Brighton v Bournemouth (5pm): The Seagulls are flying high having demolished Newcastle and Manchester United in their previous two games. Bournemouth have three draws and two defeats so far and still await their first win under manager Andoni Iraola. Prediction: Brighton 2 Bournemouth 0. Reuters

Chelsea v Aston Villa (5pm): One win from from five is not the start Mauricio Pochettino would have wanted to his Chelsea reign and last week's goalless draw at Bournemouth highlighted their lack of cutting edge up front. Villa have looked far more comfortable at home this season and their away-day blues look set to continue here, albeit only just. Prediction: Chelsea 1 Villa 0. Getty

Liverpool v West Ham (5pm): Four wins on the spin now for Liverpool having dispatched Wolves 3-1 last week following an impressive second-half display. West Ham's unbeaten record and three-game winning streak came to an end against champions Manchester City, despite the Hammers leading 1-0 at half-time. Prediction: Liverpool 3 West Ham 2. AFP
