Premier League Week 6: Predictions, Odds and Results
Pintsized Background
Week 6 of the Premier League welcomes the good old Merseyside Derby. Everton finds themselves down bad while Liverpool appears to have rebuilt themselves, yet there is rarely a boring nor controversial local clash. Historically though, aside from a 2-0 win at Anfield in 2021, Everton has not beaten Liverpool since October 2010 - featuring goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta.
Elsewhere on the menu, there is a delectable early relegation scrap between Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest. West Ham has a chance to snatch points up at a broken, downtrodden Stamford Bridge. Undefeated Arsenal also travels to Old Trafford against a rejuvenated Manchester United, buoyed by a late flurry in the transfer window and reshaped backline.
It hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine since Raheem Sterling's summer move from Manchester City

Premier League Week 6 Saturday, 3 September 2022
Everton vs Liverpool
Pintsized
While Lampard may have stopped the rot with three draws on the trot, the performances on the pitch have been disconcerting. Alex Iwobi has found a new home in midfield, while Anthony Gordon can finally play out wide now that new boy, Neil Maupay, can take up the role of striker. Even with an identifiable shape, it will be the biggest shock of the weekend if Lamps' tactical ineptitude can hold off a bolstered Liverpool attack with returning Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.
Prediction:1-4
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Assuming the final whistle has now been blown in the Newcastle game then Liverpool will be free to face their Merseyside rivals in the lunchtime kick off. B2B wins have propelled the Reds up to 6th and the return of Nunez from suspension should be fun to watch as Everton defenders (I use the term loosely) will be out to wind him up. Liverpool to make it 3 in a row and at least one sending off.
Prediction:1-3
Frank Lampard's Toffee legacy may be reduced to rekindling Alex Iwobi as prime Pirlo
At this point last season, the Spud Army had just swallowed 3-0 defeats to Crystal Palace and Chelsea, before a 3-1 humbling to Arsenal in Gameweek 6. In 2022-23, under Antonio Conte, Spurs have conceded just four goals all season. Fulham has sprung several surprises with feisty, high-tempo, attacking football since their promotion. Whether more Mitrovic magic can carry the Cottagers against one of the league's top defences is less convincing.
Prediction:2-1
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Fulham are the early season surprise package looking well organised and with only one defeat away to top of the table Arsenal so far – the tests for the squad depth will come though and they need to bank points early for comfort while Mitrovic is hot but I don't see it in this one.
To be fair to Forest, at least they went out there and tried to bring the game to Manchester City. It led to a 6-0 spanking, but goal difference is the least of the worries for a recently promoted side. Bournemouth bounced back well to secure a point against Wolves after their 9-0 humiliation against Liverpool. No sign of a new manager on the horizon is a red flag, however.
Prediction:2-0
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
6-pointer anyone – Forest are amongst the top-10 spenders in Europe in this window although to be fair they could hardly field a 5-a-sdie team in the summer as loanees returned and contracts expired. Time will tell if it's money well spent compared to Bournemouth's frugal approach but it should give them the edge in this one.
Prediction:2-1
A lot of footballing knowledge in that, there noggin
After the start we endured, I'm more than content with West Ham taking a point from Spurs in the mid-week. Many new faces will likely take to January until the ideal starting XI is found. Meanwhile, Chelsea is in tatters. Despite the huge money dropped over the summer, Tuchel is facing early calls for the sack from a fanbase who were expecting title contention. It sure doesn't help that Chelsea has only filled the vacant striker hole via an emergency last-minute signing, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Prediction:1-1
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Chelsea are still bedding in a major squad overhaul after the biggest spree in premier league history which finally included a striker – albeit a short term fix with Aubamayang. That said I expect Auba to win over the crowd early with winning goals in this one against a Hammers team struggling to score themselves.
Prediction:3-1
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reeks of last-minute panic buying
A little bit of the Leeds hype has died down after a humbling 1-1 draw to Everton. Sure, the Toffees did everything in their power to spoil the game, but a top-half table outfit has to put away relegation fodder. Meanwhile, Brentford continues to suffer from defensive lapses. The problem may exacerbate come January if David Raya finds himself snapped up.
Prediction:2-2
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Both teams should be safe this season although mid-table obscurity is likely to be the peak of their ambitions – should be an ok game although no mouth watering deadline day signings to spice this one up.
Finally. Bruno Lage has broken and signed a striker, 25-year-old Austrian, Sasa Kalajdzic. It isn't a name that will grab most headlines, yet any Kalajdzic owns a solid conversion rate in the Bundesliga for Stuttgart. Either way, he cannot produce fewer than Wolves' 2 team goals in the league so far. Southampton thoroughly outplayed Chelsea in the mid-week, yet they will face a more challenging puzzle in the Wolves backline.
Prediction:1-0
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Wolves have retained their defensive prowess from last season with only Brighton having conceded fewer so far however their inability to score has become a real issue and annoying as it may be Southampton are likely to win this one.
Newcastle has every right to be bitterly disappointed that they dropped a valuable point at Anfield. A classic case of shoddy officiating in what is widely deemed as the top league worldwide. Palace is struggling to stop leaking at the back, but their attack, spearheaded by Zaha, is a hard day's work for anyone in the league.
Prediction:2-1
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Toon fans are excited with the arrival of Isak who almost earned them a point at Anfield on debut and he will be keen to impress the home fans in this one. Palace have made a decent start and got some of the big games out of the way – expect them to climb the table a bit after this one.
Prediction:3-1
Not a bad way to open your account with Newcastle, Alexander Isak
There is a feeling that if Villa is torn apart at home, the pressure may become insurmountable on Stevie G. For all their riches in the centre of the park, very few worthwhile chances have been created so far. Additionally, Mings has somewhat been outed as a fair bit of hype. Haaland finds himself in crazy form, while Julian Alvarez's brace ensures City have an elite replacement in the ranks.
Prediction:0-3
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Hmm with Haaland eyeing up a record 3 hat tricks in a row this does not bode well for a Villa team shorn of confidence and the pressure is firmly on Stevie G who may find the owners have as much patience as they did when they (unfairly) jettisoned Dean Smith.
Leicester looks well and truly dusted. Attempted heavy possession-based football without any end product. Jamie Vardy seems to have fallen off an athletic cliff - perhaps the addition of Wout Faes will allow Wilfred Ndidi back into the midfield and restore some sort of order. For the time being, Potter's classy Brighton should ease to victory.
Prediction:3-0
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
Brighton will be looking to rectify an unexpected defeat to Fulham last time out and this should be the perfect game for them as they face a Leicester team who have well and truly stagnated.
Prediction:2-0
Leicester City were a shambles during the mid-week against Manchester United
A historic grudge match between two of the decade's most banter teams. Finally, the two slumbering giants appear to be waking up once again. Arsenal is a majestic beast in attack, yet their overstretched wings will offer holes for United's blistering pace attack to exploit. Without a striker of note available, United may well rue the chances they create.
Prediction:2-2
Ryan
Prediction:
Steviano
You feel there is a fragility to United's recent renaissance with less convincing victories against the Saints and Foxes since the impressive win over Liverpool. This will test the new-found confidence with Arsenal boasting a 100% start although they have yet to face top half opposition yet – this might be a good yard stick for both teams.
Prediction:2-2
We'd all love to see a bit of bite back in this old-school fixture
