Things are looking up for both Leicester City and Arsenal, who prepare for battle in Saturday's early Premier League kickoff at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes overcame a resilient Brentford 2-1 in their last top-flight encounter, while Mikel Arteta's side brushed aside Aston Villa by three goals to one.
We say: Leicester City 2-2 Arsenal
One may side with a Leicester win had Ndidi and Fofana both been available, but the Foxes are gaining momentum nonetheless and have had no problem producing prolific performances in recent weeks.
However, Arteta will hope to see his 4-4-2 work to great effect once again for the in-form Gunners, and we just cannot split the two sides on this occasion and are backing them both to continue their unbeaten runs with an entertaining draw.

Burnley vs. Brentford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Brentford's stellar start to their maiden Premier League campaign will continue when they travel to Burnley for the first time since August 2015 on Saturday afternoon.
Many would have expected this to have been a relegation battle at the beginning of the campaign, yet the Bees could go 11 points clear of Burnley with a win.
We say: Burnley 1-2 Brentford
Each game is already creeping into must-win territory for Burnley, especially those against recently promoted sides.
Whilst they may share a division for now, Brentford already look leagues apart from the Clarets, making a first win in over 20 years against Burnley a likely scenario this weekend.

Liverpool vs. Brighton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fresh from their historic thumping of Manchester United at Old Trafford, Liverpool resume Premier League duties with Saturday's visit of Brighton & Hove Albion.
While Jurgen Klopp's side were scoring for fun at the Theatre of Dreams, the Seagulls were on the opposite end of a 4-1 thrashing to the other Manchester club.
We say: Liverpool 3-0 Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton have proven to be a tough nut to crack away from home this term, while Liverpool have become renowned for their goalscoring exploits on rival territory more so than at Anfield.
However, the Seagulls have lost a good chunk of momentum in recent weeks, and we expect Klopp's well-rested big-hitters to help steer the hosts to a resounding win.

Manchester City will seek to bounce back immediately from their EFL Cup heartbreak when they welcome Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium for Saturday's Premier League encounter.
The champions currently occupy third spot in the table after nine games, while draw specialists Palace are down in 15th following four successive stalemates.
We say: Manchester City 3-0 Crystal Palace
Palace's inability to keep the back door shut away from home is once again set to contribute to their downfall this weekend, especially with City running riot at the Etihad so far this term.
There is no doubting the youthful talent in Vieira's ranks at Selhurst Park, but we cannot see any shocks happening on the blue side of Manchester.

Newcastle vs. Chelsea (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Chelsea will aim to cement their position atop the Premier League table when they travel to Newcastle United for Saturday afternoon's battle.
Thomas Tuchel's side put seven unanswered goals past Norwich City in a demolition job last weekend, while the Magpies' life after Steve Bruce began with a draw against Crystal Palace.
We say: Newcastle United 0-2 Chelsea
Jones will be desperate to give the Newcastle faithful something to cheer as the powers-that-be search for a new leader, but the hosts' defensive deficiencies are there to be exposed by Chelsea.
Even without two of their biggest names leading the charge, Tuchel's side showed no mercy against Norwich and are unlikely to do so again here, so we can only predict a routine three points for the league leaders.

Watford vs. Southampton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Watford will be looking to make it back-to-back Premier League victories when they continue their 2021-22 campaign at home to Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
The Hornets, who sit 14th in the table, recorded a 5-2 win over Everton at Goodison Park last weekend, while 16th-placed Southampton played out a 2-2 draw with Burnley in their last league match.
We say: Watford 1-1 Southampton
This is a very, very difficult match to call, and we are finding it tough to separate the two teams on this occasion. Watford were excellent against Everton last weekend, but Southampton's recent performances have also been positive, and we have had to settle on a low-scoring draw at Vicarage Road.

Spurs vs. Man Utd (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Manchester United will be bidding to bounce back from their humiliating home defeat to Liverpool when they travel to North London in Saturday's late kickoff to take on Tottenham Hotspur.
The Red Devils suffered a 5-0 home loss to their bitter rivals in the Premier League last Sunday, while Spurs were also beaten on the same afternoon, going down 1-0 at the home of West Ham United.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United
Man United must respond from the Liverpool defeat, and we just have a feeling that the Red Devils will shade this contest. Tottenham have also had their issues this season, and the events over the last week should act as strong inspiration for the visitors, who could bounce back with a huge result in London.
