Saturday's Premier League predictions including Burnley vs. Manchester United

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Burnley vs. Manchester United.

Selhurst Park plays host to an intriguing Premier League London derby on Saturday afternoon, as Crystal Palace welcome capital counterparts Fulham to their headquarters.

The Eagles were bested 3-1 by Aston Villa in their most recent battle, while the Cottagers edged past basement side Luton Town 1-0 for a much-needed maximum.

We say: Crystal Palace 1-1 Fulham


Fulham may have ruined the festive celebrations at Selhurst Park last year, but Hodgson's men have since proven to be a tough nut to crack on their own turf - even Man City and Arsenal only managed a solitary goal in SE25.

A lukewarm Fulham attack will likely have to settle for the one goal at best too, which is not beyond the realm of possibility given Palace's recent defensive frailties, and a low-scoring draw seems the likeliest outcome in this mid-table battle.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Luton vs. Wolves (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Aiming to put their first Premier League points on the board at the fifth attempt, Luton Town welcome fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers to Kenilworth Road on Saturday.

The Hatters fell to a 1-0 loss to Fulham in their most recent showdown, while Gary O'Neil's side failed to hang onto a 1-0 lead in a 3-1 beating at the hands of Liverpool.

We say: Luton Town 0-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers


Wolves' most recent trip to Kenilworth Road 10 years ago may have been a miserable affair, but O'Neil's men have displayed plenty of guile on the attacking front so far this term, albeit with a dash of wastefulness too.

Either way, the visitors should have no problem carving out plenty of opportunities against a permeable Luton backline, and a fifth loss from five surely awaits the Hatters this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Man City vs. Nott'm Forest (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seeking to preserve their perfect start in the Premier League, reigning champions Manchester City welcome Nottingham Forest to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

While the hosts are sitting pretty at the Premier League summit, the visitors currently sit eighth in the table after picking up seven points from their last four top-flight matches.

We say: Manchester City 3-1 Nottingham Forest


Nottingham Forest have already caused plenty of problems on their travels to Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea this term, albeit the latter two teams are not at their best at present, and another positive display is required if they are to cause an upset on Saturday.

Man City have conceded in each of their last four games which will be a slight cause for concern for Guardiola, but given the abundance of attacking quality at the Citizens' disposal, they should have few problems breaching Forest's backline en route to another home victory.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Brentford vs. Everton (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Both still reeling from 1-0 defeats last weekend, Brentford and Everton seek to get back on track in Saturday's Premier League encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Bees were bested by Newcastle United in their most recent affair, while Sean Dyche's tepid side were deservedly beaten by Arsenal on their own patch.

We say: Brentford 2-0 Everton


So far this season, goals have been easier to come by for Everton on the road than they have at Goodison Park, and last season's respectable results against Brentford should also stand the Toffees in good stead.

A pair of defensive injury concerns is not what the doctor ordered for the Bees either, but Frank's side can normally be relied upon to deliver at the Gtech Community Stadium, and we can only envisage a return to winning ways for the capital club on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Burnley vs. Man Utd (Saturday, 8.00pm)

A Manchester City legend will aim to prolong the Manchester United misery on Saturday night, as Vincent Kompany's Burnley welcome the Red Devils to Turf Moor in the Premier League.

The hosts took a point home from a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest last time out, while Erik ten Hag's men suffered a 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in a Champions League extravaganza.

We say: Burnley 1-2 Manchester United


Burnley could arguably not be playing Man United at a better time on account of the Red Devils' multiple crises, as injuries, defensive deficiencies and off-the-pitch scandals threaten to derail Ten Hag's preparations once again.

The leaky Red Devils backline should not emerge unscathed, but on the other hand, Burnley have also been conceding goals at will on home soil, and Man United's potent attacking forces can fight fire with fire to redeem themselves with a hard-fought away win.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
