Premier League Matchday 7 Picks

Bournemouth vs. Fulham

Bournemouth are enjoying their best ever start to a Premier League season, and their home form has remained solid. The Cherries have picked up 14 points from their last seven at the Vitality Stadium.

Meanwhile, Fulham have lost four of their last seven after scoring the opening goal. Bournemouth have an excellent record in this fixture, losing just two of their last 16 against the Cottagers.

Leeds vs. Tottenham

Tottenham have played out draws in their last two Premier League matches, while Leeds have lost just once across their last four.

Spurs have been strong on the road already this season, winning seven points from their first three away matches. An away victory is hard to overlook based on the head-to-head record, as Leeds have lost nine of their last eleven league matches against Tottenham.

Arsenal vs. West Ham

Arsenal could move to the summit of the Premier League with a victory in the London derby against West Ham. The Gunners have won six of their last eight in the league, and have accumulated more points than any other side since mid-May.

West Ham’s record in London derbies is worth examining, as they have lost eight of their last eleven. A home victory looks among the standout Premier League picks this weekend.

Man United vs. Sunderland

The pressure will be intense on Ruben Amorim, as fifth-place Sunderland travel to Old Trafford on Saturday. United have avoided defeat in their last 24 fixtures against newly promoted sides, and they have recorded victories in their last two at Old Trafford.

Sunderland’s poor record in Manchester would be a concern, as they have won just two of their last 30 against the Red Devils. However, at odds-on, United aren’t a selection with any value on Saturday. Therefore, a draw could be an interesting selection.

Chelsea vs. Liverpool

Liverpool will be aiming to end a two-game losing sequence when they travel to Chelsea on Saturday. The Reds haven’t lost back-to-back league games since April 2023.

Chelsea have suffered defeats in four of their last five fixtures against defending champions at Stamford Bridge, but they are unbeaten in their last four home fixtures against Liverpool. We expect a response from the champions this weekend.

Aston Villa vs. Burnley

Aston Villa ended their wait for a first Premier League win last weekend, claiming a 3-1 home success against Fulham.

Meanwhile, Burnley will be aiming to get back on track following a heavy defeat at the Etihad Stadium against Man City. Villa’s return to form could be the obvious betting angle when making Premier League picks this Sunday.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace will be riding a wave of confidence following a late win against Liverpool last Saturday.

The Eagles have made an excellent unbeaten start to the campaign, and they come up against an improving Everton on Sunday. Palace’s counter-attacking style could be perfectly suited to this kind of challenge, and they appear to be the value angle based on the odds.

Wolves vs. Brighton

Wolves remain the only winless team in the Premier League at this stage of the season, and they have now gone ten without a success in the EPL.

Brighton’s attacking spark will be an obvious concern for a defensively weak opponent this weekend, and the Seagulls look like a good chance to build on their recent 3-1 victory at Chelsea.

Newcastle vs. Nottingham Forest

Eddie Howe’s Newcastle have been inconsistent at the start of the new season, having won just once in their opening six fixtures.

Ange Postecoglou is yet to taste victory in the league for Nottingham Forest, losing at home against Sunderland last Saturday. Home advantage could be crucial in this fixture, and we expect the Magpies to get a win over the line at St. James’ Park.

Brentford vs. Man City

For the second weekend in a row, Brentford welcome a team from Manchester to the Gtech Community Stadium. Last time out, they registered a 3-1 success against United.

However, Man City’s attacking players are finding their groove at this stage, netting five against the Clarets last weekend. Therefore, the away win is challenging to overlook on Sunday.
