Old foes and former colleagues will reunite at Stamford Bridge on Sunday lunchtime as Chelsea tackle Arsenal in a mouth-watering Premier League London derby.

Both sides enter the game on the back of continental successes, as the Blues got the better of Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 in the Champions League, while the Gunners advanced to the last 16 of the Europa League.

We say: Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal


Even if Arsenal can find the back of the net early doors at Stamford Bridge - as they have done throughout the season - failure to put the game to bed would open the door for the Blues to dent the Gunners' early title aspirations.

Potter is yet to suffer defeat at Stamford Bridge, but Arsenal have fond memories of their recent trips to West London and were able to rest a number of key first-team stars in midweek, so we expect the Gunners to take advantage of the Blues' depleted defence and travel back to the Emirates with a hard-earned three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Aston Villa vs. Man Utd (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Manchester United will be aiming to make it four straight victories in all competitions when they head to Villa Park in the Premier League on Sunday to face Aston Villa.

The Red Devils are currently fifth in the table on 23 points, one point behind fourth-placed Newcastle United, while a disappointing start has left Villa down in 16th, just one point outside of the relegation zone.

We say: Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United


Man United will be wary of the threat that Villa could provide under their new head coach, who will have a plan to stop the 20-time English champions on Sunday. We are expecting this to be a very difficult match for the Red Devils, but they are in strong form, and we are backing a 2-1 victory for the visitors here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Southampton vs. Newcastle (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Newcastle United will be bidding to make it four Premier League victories in a row when they travel to St Mary's on Sunday afternoon to take on Southampton.

The Magpies have made a brilliant start to the 2022-23 campaign, picking up 24 points from their opening 13 matches to occupy fourth position in the table, while Southampton sit down in 17th position, only one point above the relegation zone heading into the next set of fixtures.

We say: Southampton 1-1 Newcastle United


Newcastle are flying at the moment, but Southampton have only lost one of their last four matches in front of their own supporters, including draws with West Ham and Arsenal in their last two. It would certainly not be a surprise to see an away win here, but we have a feeling that the Saints could secure a share of the spoils, ending Newcastle's winning run in the process.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

West Ham vs. Crystal Palace (Sunday, 2.00pm)

West Ham United will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Crystal Palace to the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers are currently 13th in the table, having picked up 14 points from their opening 13 matches of the season, while Palace occupy 10th, boasting 16 points from their 12 matches this term.

We say: West Ham United 1-1 Crystal Palace


West Ham will be desperate to return to winning ways after the disappointment of the defeat to Man United, but Palace could prove to be a tough nut to crack, and we are backing the Eagles, who are only three points off seventh-placed Fulham, to claim a point in the capital on Sunday afternoon.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Spurs vs. Liverpool (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Tottenham Hotspur take on Liverpool in a huge clash in the Premier League on Sunday.

The visitors are languishing eight points behind the top four places ahead of the weekend's action, while Spurs are five points behind league leaders Arsenal.

We say: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Liverpool


Liverpool have a habit of turning up against the bigger teams this season, and we can see that continuing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

The loss of Son through injury is a huge blow for Spurs' hopes of winning this match, with Conte's side lacking a deadly out ball in transition as a result, meaning the Reds can push higher with more confidence and look to strangle their opponents through possession.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
