We have some absolutely cracking fixtures lined up, with derbies galore. Will it be Erik ten Hag or Pep Guardiola? Will Antonio Conte outwit Mikel Arteta? Only time will tell.

A huge fixture to dive right into as the high-flying rivals face off in the first North London derby of the campaign. This is probably the most evenly matched we've depicted the sides in years, so we'll back a draw in this one.

Prediction: Arsenal 2 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur


Bournemouth vs Brentford Prediction

Battle of the B's, but we think one side is far superior.

Prediction: Bournemouth 0 - 2 Brentford


Crystal Palace vs Chelsea Prediction

Patrick Vieira's Palace side are surprising many this year with their tenacious style of play. They're a very hard team to go away to and with Chelsea in a transitional period, we think they could nick a result here.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 1 - 0 Chelsea


Fulham vs Newcastle Prediction

 Eddie Howe, Manager of Newcastle United reacts

Both teams are performing strongly this campaign, but Newcastle United look dangerous under Eddie Howe. This one will be tight, but they should take it.

Prediction: Fulham 1 - 2 Newcastle


Liverpool vs Brighton Prediction

A team that may have benefitted from the break may be Liverpool after the chaotic start to the season. They face Brighton who were left in a sticky situation after Graham Potter's departure. We can only see one winner.

Prediction: Liverpool 2 - 0 Brighton


Southampton vs Everton Prediction

Alex Iwobi of Everton and Kyle Walker-Peters of Southampton

Two early strugglers face off at St Mary's - but we think the home side will prevail.

Prediction: Southampton 2 - 1 Everton


West Ham vs Wolves Prediction

Ruben Neves of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manuel Lanzini of West Ham United

The Hammers haven't started off as they would have liked to, but against what looks like a rather lacklustre side, we think David Moyes will come out on top.

Prediction: West Ham 2 - 1 Wolves


Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction

 Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City celebrates after scoring their sides first goal

The second huge fixture of the weekend, the Manchester derby is upon us! Can Erling Haaland continue his fine goal-scoring form? We think so. It'll be a well-contested affair, but the Cityzens possess far too much firepower.

Prediction: Manchester City 2 - 1 Manchester United


Leeds vs Aston Villa Prediction

Philippe Coutinho of Aston Villa takes on the defence

This one has a draw written all over it!

Prediction: Leeds United 1 - 1 Aston Villa


Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Finally, MNF brings us bottom of the league Leicester versus a shakey Forest side. Another draw on the cards, we reckon.

Prediction: Leicester City 2 - 2 Nottingham Forest
