Saturday's Premier League predictions including Chelsea vs. Manchester United

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

Having both come away from their midweek Premier League games with their heads held high, Nottingham Forest and Liverpool prepare for battle in Saturday lunchtime's contest at the City Ground.

The Tricky Trees held Brighton & Hove Albion to a goalless draw on Tuesday, 24 hours before Jurgen Klopp's side overcame West Ham United by a goal to nil.

We say: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Liverpool


Forest have been tighter at the back since Cooper made the switch to a four-man defence, but their attacking concerns remain very much alive and could prove costly against a steadfast Liverpool.

One should not expect Klopp's men to score goal after goal as they continue to slowly increase their confidence levels again, but the Merseyside giants should still prevail with minimal difficulty.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Seeking to avoid a fourth successive Premier League defeat, Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park on Saturday.

While the Toffees lost away against Newcastle United in midweek, the Eagles came from behind to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on home soil.

We say: Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace


Both sides head into Saturday's contest off the back of contrasting results, with Crystal Palace looking to build on their midweek win and maintain their position in the top half of the table.

Securing another three points could prove challenging for the Eagles against a fired-up Everton side, who we feel will end their losing streak and come away with at least a point in front of the Goodison Park faithful.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Man City vs. Brighton (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways when they welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Etihad Stadium for their Premier League contest on Saturday.

The Citizens suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Liverpool last weekend, while the Seagulls were held to a goalless draw at home against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

We say: Manchester City 2-0 Brighton & Hove Albion


Guardiola will be looking for a response from his Man City players following last weekend's defeat, and the Citizens will be regarded as strong favourites to claim maximum points on Saturday, although Brighton's threat cannot be underestimated.

Only Crystal Palace have tested City on home soil in the Premier League so far this season, albeit still losing 4-2, and unless Brighton can rediscover their clinical touch in front of goal, the reigning champions should have few problems in securing another routine victory at the Etihad.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea vs. Man Utd (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Fifth will attempt to overtake fourth in a tantalizing Stamford Bridge battle on Saturday evening, as Chelsea and Manchester United renew hostilities in the Premier League.

The Blues were held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford in midweek, while Erik ten Hag's team convincingly put Tottenham Hotspur to the sword in a 2-0 victory.

We say: Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United


A side more clinical than Aston Villa or Brentford would have broken Chelsea's streak of clean sheets by now, and Man United will feel confident of doing that here, despite taking a multitude of efforts to finally get the better of Lloris on Wednesday.

The Etihad aside, performances in big games have been Ten Hag's bread and butter so far, but with Potter making a few key alterations and Wednesday's exertions taking their toll on Man United in particular, we can envisage a third successive 1-1 draw in this fixture.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
