Saturday's Premier League predictions including Manchester City vs. Fulham

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Manchester City vs. Fulham.

Leeds United and Bournemouth will both be aiming to steer themselves clear of the Premier League relegation zone when they lock horns at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.

The two teams head into this encounter off the back of contrasting results last weekend, with the Whites securing a famous win at Anfield, while the Cherries were beaten in a five-goal thriller at home against Tottenham Hotspur.

We say: Leeds United 2-1 Bournemouth


Both teams have looked defensively vulnerable in recent weeks, with neither side keeping a clean sheet in their last five league games, so plenty of goalmouth action is to be expected at Elland Road.

Bournemouth will be determined to end their losing streak, but we can see Leeds following up their impressive triumph over Liverpool with a victory in front of their home supporters on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Man City vs. Fulham (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seeking to extend their winning run at the Etihad Stadium to 15 games across all competitions, Manchester City play host to Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Citizens currently sit second in the table and two points adrift of leaders Arsenal, while the Cottagers are flying high in seventh place, five points behind the top four.

We say: Manchester City 4-1 Fulham


Teams visiting the Etihad Stadium have found it difficult to keep Man City quiet in front of goal so far this season, and even if Haaland is not fit to feature, the Citizens still possess an attacking threat capable of breaching Fulham's backline.

The Cottagers will fancy their chances in the final third, having already scored against Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Newcastle United this term, but we expect the hosts to outscore their opponents and secure their 10th league win of the season.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 3.5 goals.

Nott'm Forest vs. Brentford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Nottingham Forest and Brentford will both be aiming to return to winning ways in Saturday afternoon's Premier League contest at the City Ground.

Steve Cooper's side were demolished 5-0 by Arsenal last time out, while the visitors recovered from a 4-0 thumping at Aston Villa to draw 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

We say: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Brentford


Toney's suspension could tempt Frank into adopting a more defensive setup for the trip to the City Ground, and the Bees have flattered to deceive on the road so far this term.

Forest should therefore have a glint in their eyes for Saturday's battle, and home is where the heart is for Cooper's men, but we would not be surprised to see defences come out on top in this one.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Wolves vs. Brighton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Fresh from serving their former manager a slice of humble pie, Brighton & Hove Albion will aim to keep that momentum going against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday afternoon.

Roberto De Zerbi's men thumped Chelsea 4-1 in their most recent fixture, while the hosts played out a 1-1 draw with Brentford.

We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion


Costa was not exactly answering the call for Wolves' attacking crisis, but his suspension has only deepened Davis's woes in that area, and the hosts are arguably facing Brighton at the worst time.

With a near fully-fit squad and morale surely at its highest point of the season so far, we can only envisage the Seagulls ending their sticky patch on the road with a professional performance and three points to go with it.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Everton vs. Leicester (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Having both failed to take home three points or find the back of the net last weekend, Everton and Leicester City will aim to right those wrongs in Saturday evening's Premier League contest at Goodison Park.

The Toffees battled to a goalless draw away at Fulham last time out, while Brendan Rodgers's side fell to a 1-0 defeat to reigning champions Manchester City.

We say: Everton 1-1 Leicester City


With Leicester yet to win a game this season in which they have conceded, Everton can feel confident of gleaning at least a point should they find the back of the net on home soil.

Both defences have proven themselves to be solid in recent weeks, and Leicester cannot expect to hit four goals on the road like they did at Molineux, so we can envisage a third successive 1-1 draw between the sides at Goodison Park.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.
