Matchweek 5 Preview: Andoni take-down? United's must-win, Hammer's shock champions

Premier League football is back and oh boy am I excited! I sense goals this weekend, I mean look at the fixtures!! Let's make some predictions for the matches to come.

Wolves vs. Liverpool

Wolves are set to host Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at the Molyneux to kick start week five in the Premier League. Gary O’Neill would love to see his Wolves side put in a statement performance, but it won’t be easy. Liverpool has enjoyed a positive start to the season with three wins in four games. New signing Dominik Szobozlai has become a fan favorite after netting his first goal against Aston Villa. Reds fans will be eager to watch new signing Ryan Gravenberch make his debut tomorrow. I don’t think Wolves will get anything from this one.

Score: Wolves 0-3 Liverpool

Aston Villa vs. Crystal Palace

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa is set to host Roy Hodsen’s Crystal Palace as both teams have started their campaigns well. Villa’s fast-pace attack along, with their rock-solid defense, will pose problems for Palace. Equally, the attack of Edouard, Eze, and Olise is proving to be a dangerous trio. This will be a good one, but I think Villa will come out victorious.

Score: Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

Fulham vs. Luton Town

Fulham will host Luton Town, and I can only see one winner. Fulham has been very positive this season, while Luton looks out of place. I think Fulham will score a lot of goals in this one.

Score: Fulham 4-0 Luton Town

Manchester United vs. Brighton

Manchester United will host Brighton in a must-win game for the Red Devils. Ten Hag’s men have had a poor start to the season with only two wins in four games. On the other side, Brighton is scoring goals left, right, and center! Rasmus Hojlund is set to make his Old Trafford debut, but injury blows to Varane, Amrabat, and potentially Martinez will be a big miss for the home team. Despite Brighton’s form, I think United’s desperate need for a win will prevail.

Score: Manchester United 2-1 Brighton

Tottenham vs. Sheffield United

Ange’s men will play Sheffield United at home. Spurs look like a new team under Ange; they are scoring loads of goals thanks to Son and Maddison, but also look solid defensively. Sheffield United is yet to win a game this season; it won’t come in this one.

Score: Tottenham 4-0 Sheffield United

West Ham vs. Manchester City

West Ham will face Manchester City in London, and this will be a cracker. Both sides have had amazing starts to their campaign as both sides are yet to lose a game. The likes of Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen have been the standout performers for the Hammers while Erling Haaland continues to score goals. West Ham will be ready for this one, and I can see them pulling off a shocking result.

Score: West Ham 2-0 Manchester City

Newcastle vs. Brentford

Newcaslte will want to win this game against Brentford at home as the Magpies haven’t had the best start to the campaign, with only one win so far. Brentford has proven themselves worthy of fighting for European places with Bryan Mbuemo and Yoane Wissa scoring the goals. Eddie Howe’s men at home, however, are a completely different challenge, one I think Brentford will fail, but there will be goals in this one.

Score: Newcastle 4-2 Brentford

Bournemouth vs. Chelsea

Bournemouth is set to host Chelsea with Andoni depserate to impress the home fans after a worrying start to the season, but there has been some positive signs. Pochettino’s men have not starting this season off well either after losses to West Ham and Nottingham Forest at home! It will not be easy for Chelsea in this one, and I think the pressure will get to them.

Score: Bournemouth 3-1 Chelsea

Everton vs Arsenal

Sean Dyche’s men will understand the pressure on their shoulders against Arsenal at Goodison Park. A winless Everton side are under pressure to put in a good performance, but with Arsenal coming to town, it won’t be easy. Arteta’s men will have high spirits after their late win against Manchester United before the international break. This one will surely be another Arteta classic.

Score: Everton 0-4 Arsenal

Nottingham Forest vs Burnley

Nottingham Forest will host Burnley at the City Ground on Monday. Steve Cooper’s men beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before the international break and will want to build on that results. Kompany’s men have not been the super attacking, dangerous side we came to expect form them so far; it’s been disappointing. I think Forest will win this one.

Score: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Burnley
