  • London Stadium, 20:00 BST

West Ham were arsenic level arsenic thing astatine Sunderland. My workfellow Ian Dennis connected BBC Radio 5 Live called them anaemic. I'm a small spot worried for them this season.

I was astatine Chelsea's past crippled against Crystal Palace and I thought they besides lacked that spark.

A batch has been made astir Chelsea's caller attack. Joao Pedro was quiet, Cole Palmer was quiet. There's a stat going astir that Palmer hasn't scored a extremity from unfastened play since January.

West Ham mightiness beryllium maine wrong, it is simply a London derby aft all, but I still deliberation Chelsea will find a measurement to separator it.

Sutton's prediction: 0-2

Theo's prediction: I don't person precocious hopes for West Ham this season. 0-3

  • Etihad Stadium, 12:30 BST

Manchester City really impressed maine past week and everyone is rightly talking astir Tijjani Reijnders. Statman Dave told maine to get him into my Fantasy Team, I didn't return that proposal and I should've done. He was superb against Wolves.

I do deliberation Tottenham will beryllium a level supra nether Thomas Frank. It'll beryllium absorbing really they group up. They played a backmost 3 successful nan Super Cup last against Paris St-Germain.

Cristian Romero has signed a caller statement for Tottenham, that's a large deal. But really did they not get a woody for Eberechi Eze complete nan line? It had been going connected for weeks and now Arsenal person travel successful and embarrassed them!

Tottenham are still a fewer players short from decently challenging nan really large teams and successful this crippled I deliberation City astatine location will beryllium excessively beardown for them.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Theo's prediction: City to people 5 and Erling Haaland is going to container 4 of them. 5-0

AI's prediction: 3-1

  • Vitality Stadium, 15:00 BST

I really liked Bournemouth having a spell astatine Liverpool. I cognize they ended up losing but they ever transportation that attacking threat. They're truthful bully successful modulation and get bodies forward.

How do you judge Wolves aft they sewage walloped astatine location against Manchester City? I mean, they did person chances successful that match.

There's besides that interest arsenic to whether Bournemouth person decently replaced their 3 champion defenders who they sold this summer.

It'll beryllium rather tight, I cognize AI will spell for a tie because they're very predictable. But I'm going to instrumentality my cervix out. Bournemouth will sneak it.

Theo's prediction: Bournemouth sewage raided successful nan summertime but they still person Antoine Semenyo and I emotion watching him play. He is going to people astatine slightest 1 here, too. 2-1

AI's prediction: 2-0

  • Gtech Community Stadium, 15:00 BST

Brentford nether Keith Andrews were really disappointing successful their opener, conceding aft conscionable a mates of minutes against Nottingham Forest.

It doesn't bode well, successful truth I'm worried astir Brentford. They've mislaid each nan goals of Bryan Mbeumo while Yoane Wissa has seemingly downed devices and doesn't want to play.

They still person battle-hardened players pinch Premier League acquisition but they request that first triumph nether their loop to get that existent belief successful their caller caput coach.

I though Villa were really old against Newcastle and were fortunate to get a point.

But I'm going to prime them to bounce back. I deliberation Ollie Watkins will people against his aged club.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Theo's prediction: Brentford person mislaid excessively galore bully players and I deliberation they could spell down this season. Villa are a top-six squad and they will person excessively overmuch for them. 1-3

AI's prediction: 1-2

I wrote Sunderland disconnected months agone astatine nan extremity of past play but they amazed maine past week pinch a hellhole of a triumph against West Ham.

Those 2 headers from Eliezer Mayenda and Dan Ballard were perfectly superb and they deserved their victory.

Burnley had their moments against Tottenham but didn't return them. They'll request to get a foothold successful this play sooner alternatively than later.

This 1 stinks of a draw. I deliberation it'll beryllium adjacent and Burnley will want much but Sunderland will beryllium satisfied pinch their start.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Theo's prediction: This is simply a due game! It's monolithic for whoever wins. If Sunderland are successful their cool achromatic distant kit and Granit Xhaka decides to powerfulness up past possibly they could triumph this, but Burnley are astatine location truthful I americium backing them - due Turf Moor vibes for illustration they had nether Sean Dyche.

I really want to meet Dyche by nan measurement - I've heard he likes indie euphony and goes to a batch of gigs, particularly successful Nottingham wherever he lives. Sean, if you are reference this, we are playing Nottingham Arena successful December - we will put you are connected nan impermanent database if you want to come. 1-0

AI's prediction: 2-2

  • Emirates Stadium, 17:30 BST

I didn't consciousness Arsenal's capacity was location against Manchester United but still, astatine slightest they recovered a measurement to win.

All nan talk successful this crippled is going to beryllium astir Viktor Gyokeres and whether he tin get disconnected nan mark. There was specified an overreaction aft he didn't people against Man United.

He's been written disconnected arsenic a dud successful immoderate quarters already! That's nan modern game, you tin get written disconnected aft your first hr of playing successful nan Premier League.

Not maine though, no, I deliberation he'll travel good.

Leeds played pinch specified strength against Everton, though nan punishment they won was somewhat harsh.

Will Daniel Farke's broadside show that aforesaid level of bravery astatine nan Emirates? Probably, and if truthful it'll costs them.

Sutton's prediction: 4-0

Theo's prediction: 2-0

Theo connected Arsenal's title hopes: It feels for illustration nan unit is unbearable astatine our club. I don't deliberation we grip unit good and we perpetually want to triumph perfectly everything. But of people I deliberation we tin triumph nan convention this season, I consciousness for illustration if it's going to hap immoderate time, past it will beryllium now.

I americium gladsome Leeds are backmost successful nan Premier League. I miss Marcelo Bielsa Leeds, erstwhile they played chaos-ball - that was my favourite. But, look, I americium an Arsenal instrumentality truthful we are going to triumph this. Declan Rice to unfastened nan scoring from a agelong measurement retired and Ethan Nwaneri to get nan different successful nan 73rd minute. 2-0

AI's prediction: 4-1

Sunday, 24 August

Watching Palace past week against Chelsea I thought they deserved to triumph nan game. I emotion nan measurement they play, nan backmost 3 are phenomenal, they're a really bully team.

The problem for Palace is that their squad is truthful bladed without their stars. How do you switch a subordinate for illustration Eberechi Eze, for example?

Losing Eze and Marc Guehi is simply a monolithic portion of nan squad gone. It'll time off a immense spread and wholly changes really I'll beryllium predicting them this season.

As for this game, I reckon it'll beryllium different adjacent one. Nottingham Forest besides had a awesome consequence successful their opener.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Theo's prediction: I perfectly emotion Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White. Palace are awesome truthful possibly they get thing but I americium going to opportunity Forest - that's for my friend Keane Shaw. He has designed immoderate of nan Forest kits and is simply a lifelong instrumentality truthful I will dedicate that triumph to him. 1-2

AI's prediction: 1-1

  • Hill Dickinson Stadium, 14:00 BST

I've said this connected galore occasions. Everton overachieved past season. It's painted a mendacious image arsenic to wherever they presently are.

They didn't connection a batch nan different nighttime against Leeds. Sorry Everton fans but I've conscionable sewage a emotion Brighton will play statement poopers successful nan first Premier League crippled astatine Everton's caller stadium.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Theo's prediction: I would emotion if Everton conscionable fto Jack Grealish play wherever he wants successful a wholly free role. This is their first crippled astatine their caller stadium truthful they are decidedly going to triumph it and Grealish is going to people a hat-trick. 3-1

  • Craven Cottage, 16:30 BST

Like a batch of group I effort to beryllium balanced astir Manchester United. They mislaid past week but I do deliberation they will beryllium amended this season. Well, they can't beryllium immoderate worse.

I really for illustration Bryan Mbeumo and I particularly for illustration Matheus Cunha, I deliberation he's sewage loads going for him.

Fulham were fortunate to get thing against Brighton but I deliberation they'll amended successful beforehand of their ain fans.

Fulham don't play pinch immoderate fearfulness and will return nan crippled to Manchester United which gives maine a sneaking emotion United will utilization them and triumph this one.

But past again I ever foretell Manchester United games wrong. I want to beryllium affirmative astir them but I'm not judge I tin be. Plus, I deliberation I predicted Fulham incorrect for each 1 of their matches past season.

I'm leaning towards a Manchester United triumph so, because of that, I'll spell for a draw.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Theo's prediction: I for illustration Fulham because of each their aged Arsenal players but I tin spot United winning this. 1-2

  • St James' Park, 20:00 BST

This lucifer was going to beryllium aggravated anyway, but nan Alexander Isak transportation saga has ramped it up a notch. There's going to beryllium an separator to this 1 and honestly thing could happen.

Newcastle spell into this crippled hampered by nan truth they don't person a number nine. Isak hasn't covered himself. Newcastle were superb against Villa but conjecture what, they missed a centre-forward.

A batch has been made astir Liverpool's defence, they conceded a mates of soft ones against Bournemouth truthful there'll beryllium a interest there. But past you look astatine Liverpool's onslaught and you think, blimey.

Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike, who had a blinder of a debut and Newcastle wanted to sign. Funnily enough, had Newcastle sewage Ekitike past Isak would astir apt beryllium astatine Liverpool.

There'll beryllium goals successful this. Neither of these sides return a backwards step. I veer towards Liverpool solely because Newcastle don't person a centre-forward. But, are they still tin of scoring goals? Absolutely.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Theo's prediction: St James' Park is simply a formidable spot truthful I americium going for a draw. 2-2
