Our Predictions:
Crystal Palace vs Brentford, 3pm GMT
Pick: Palace win @6/4
Fresh from a historic opening-day victory over Arsenal, Brentford’s first-ever away game in the Premier League sees them travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
While Thomas Frank’s side produced one of the most memorable nights in the club’s history last Friday, Patrick Vieira’s Palace slumped to a 3-0 loss at European champions Chelsea.
Leeds vs Everton, 3pm GMT
Pick: Everton win @2/1
Leeds United will be looking to put their 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Manchester United behind them as they take on Everton at Elland Road on Saturday.
The Toffees, on the other hand, got off to a great start to the 2021-22 Premier League season as they registered a 3-1 win against Southampton. They had to do it the hard way after a defensive lapse from Michael Keane resulted in Saints debutant Adam Armstrong securing the lead for them. Everton hit back through Richarlison, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the second half. Rafael Benitez will need more wins like that to win over the fans who have been divided over his appointment.
Manchester City vs Norwich, 3pm GMT
Pick: Over 3.5 Goals @8/11
Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their defeat at Tottenham Hotspur when they welcome Norwich City to the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Citizens suffered a 1-0 loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the opening weekend of the 2021-22 campaign, while Norwich were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool at Carrow Road on their return to this level.
Brighton vs Watford, 5.30pm GMT
Pick: BTTS @1/1
Two sides who were victorious on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season will look horns on Saturday evening, when Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Watford to the Amex Stadium.
The Hornets began life back in the big time with an impressive home win against big spending Aston Villa, while the Seagulls secured all three points away at Burnley.
