AH Chelsea -1 @ 1.99

In our opinion, Southampton would be disappointed if they were not to find the net against this Chelsea side, but a single goal is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them. We’re going for a very close game with a 1-2 victory for Chelsea when the full-time whistle blows. Should be a good one.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Luis Diaz

Newcastle United:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Willock, S Longstaff, Joelinton; Almiron, Wood, Fraser

Liverpool recorded their first victory in the new season against Bournemouth at the weekend. But it will be much more difficult now as Newcastle United are yet to lose a match. The Magpies will enter this contest off the back of an 1:1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Nevertheless, Liverpool must go for three points on every match at Anfield. The start of the season wasn't promising, Klopp's men have dropped seven points in the first three rounds. Liverpool played a 2:2 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage, 1:1 at home with Crystal Palace and lost 2:1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Some reaction was expected and it came three days ago when Liverpool scored nine unanswered goals against Bournemouth. The atmosphere in the squad is now much better, while the players confidence is higher. However, Klopp still have huge injury and suspension worries. He will be missing Diogo Jota, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita for this clash. Striker Darwin Nunez remain suspended, while the fixture is likely to come too soon for Thiago Alcantara. On the positive note, Curtis Jones and Joel Matip have recovered and could be included in the squad. Harvey Elliott was substituted as a precaution against Bournemouth, so he will be available to start again.

Newcastle United will try to continue their Premier League unbeaten series against Liverpool on Wednesday night. The Magpies have one win and three draws after the first four rounds. They managed to beat Nottingham, while shared the points with Brighton, Manchester City and Wolverhampton. Eddie Howe's side were on the verge of suffering their first defeat of the season against Wolves on Sunday, but they managed to equalize in the last minute through Allan Saint-Maximin. With a total of six points, they sit on the seventh position on the table. Money are not problem for new Saudi owners, so they brought Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad. The club-record signing could be included in the squad for this match, even I don't expect to start from the first minute, with Chris Wood set to lead the away side's attack at Anfield. Howe also has some injury worries as Bruno Guimaraes, Callum Wilson and Saint-Maximin are all rated as doubtful. The former Reds player Jonjo Shelvey and Emil Krafth are definitely out for the Magpies, meaning the guests will be missing a number of first-team players at Anfield. Ryan Fraser is in line to replace Saint-Maximin, should the Frenchman doesn't recover in time for this match.

Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction:

Liverpool scored nine goals against Bournemouth and the players confidence is very high. I am sure they will strongly attack from the very first minute here. The Reds have scored 109 Premier League goals against Newcastle, more than against any other opponent. But Newcastle are not the old club from the last seasons, they are quite different under the Saudis. According to some pundits, they are Top-6 material. The Magpies are also dangerous, particularly via counterattacks. Don't forget they scored three times against Manchester City. I think they are able to upset Alisson.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Arsenal:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus

Aston Villa:
Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; McGinn, Kamara, Ramsey; Bailey, Watkins, Coutinho

The leaders Arsenal welcome Aston Villa to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. The Gunners are leaders with 12 points from four matches, while Aston Villa have picked up just three points. Arsenal started the new season in best possible way. First they beat Crystal Palace with 2:0, then secured a 4:2 win over Leicester City, then outplayed Bournemouth with 3:0 and finally won 2:1 against Fulham. Even their most faithful fans did not expect four victories in the first four rounds. Their five-game winning streak (four wins now and one from the last season) means the longest such sequence in the Premier League under Arteta. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is very high. According to me, one man make the difference - Gabriel Jesus. Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko are struggling with knee and thigh injury respectively, and they are both rated as doubtful for this match. Reiss Nelson is definitely sidelined with a thigh injury.

As I wrote above, Aston Villa have picked up just three points from the opening four rounds. They lost at Bournemouth in the first round of the season before recording a 2:1 victory over Everton at Villa Park. In the third and fourth round they suffered defeats at Crystal Palace and West Ham. To be worse, their next two matches are away to Arsenal and at home to Manchester City. It is very hard to collect something from these games. Manager Steven Gerrard was very successful initially, but it seems the magic disappeared. The Villans have lost 15 Premier League games since Gerrard took charge last November. Only one team have a worse record in that time - Everton, with 19 defeats. The atmosphere in the squad is far from the desired, while the players confidence is low. The high victory over Bolton Wanderers in the EFL Cup on August 23 is positive, but another defeat at the Emirats will put Steve G under heavy pressure. He has the majority of his players ready, only two of them are injured. Diego Carlos is a long-term absentee due to an Achilles tendon injury, while Tyrone Mings is rated as doubtful.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Prediction:

I expect Over 2.5 goals at the Emirats Stadium. The key reason is connect with the fact that Arsenal play efficient matches at home. They won 4:2 against Leicester City and 2:1 against Fulham. The last away match for Aston Villa have produced four goals as they lost 3:1 to Crystal Palace. Considering these facts, I think there will be at least three goals on Wednesday.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa Pick: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.77 with Pinnacle

Leicester City vs Manchester United Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Leicester City:
Ward; Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Justin; Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall; Perez, Barnes; Vardy

Manchester United:
De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Rashford

The bottom side Leicester City welcome Manchester United to the King Power Stadium on Thursday night. The Foxes have picked up just one point from the opening four rounds. They played a 2:2 draw with Brentford in the first round of the season before losing three in a row. They were poor against Arsenal and Southampton and deserved the defeats. They also suffered at Stemford Bridge for the weekend, but manager Brendan Rodgers could be satisfy with the performance of his players. However, it should not be forgotten that the Foxes played against 10-men Chelsea for 62 minutes. Rodgers is feeling a huge pressure and another defeat could open questions about his managerial status. The Irishman has some additional issues ahead of this match. Key player James Maddison is doubtful with muscle injury, but should be part of the squad if decide to stay in the club. Youri Tielemans is another player that attracts the attention of big clubs, Today is the closing day of Summer transfer window, so nobody is sure until the midnight.

Manchester United started the new season in awful way. The Red Devils have suffered two painful defeats in the first two rounds, losing 2:1 to Brighton at Old Trafford and 4:0 to Brentford. Some reaction was expected and it came against Liverpool. United managed to win the derby and it was a turning point. In the last round they registered another victory, against Southampton at St Mary. Bruno Fernandes scored the winning goal against the Saints and that was his first goal since May 2. Interesting to be mentioned, Ronaldo came in as substitute on both matches. It won't be surprise if CR7 decide to left Old Trafford. However, the atmosphere in the squad is now much better, while the players confidence is higher. Coach Erik Ten Hag has no injury and suspension worries. I expect some changes ahead of the derby with Arsenal next weekend- new signing Casemiro may replace either Scott McTominay or Christian Eriksen. Anthony Martial will probably start from the bench having been suffering with an Achilles issue.

Leicester City vs Manchester United Prediction:

I think Manchester United will win this match. The key reason for my pick is the actual form of both teams. While the Foxes are in series of three defeats in the Premier League, the Red Devils won the last two matches. The players look very motivated and they will give the maximum again. The momentum is on United side.
