Southampton will be looking to build on some recent positive results when they continue their Premier League campaign at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.

The Saints occupy 15th position in the table but held the champions Manchester City to a 0-0 draw last weekend, while Wolves sit one spot and one point below their opponents at St Mary's.

We say: Southampton 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Both sides have had their problems in the early stages of the new campaign, but Southampton should enter the contest with superior confidence. Wolves, on paper, arguably have a better starting XI, but we are struggling to separate the two teams here and have therefore had to settle on a low-scoring draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

After a painful period of behind-closed-doors North London derbies, supporters prepare to arrive at the Emirates Stadium en masse to witness Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur lock horns on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners enter this game on the back of a 3-0 EFL Cup success against AFC Wimbledon, whereas Spurs needed penalties to get over the line against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

We say: Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

A lack of ruthlessness from both Arsenal and Tottenham has been evident over the past few weeks, but Sunday provides the perfect opportunity for one of Aubameyang or Kane to kickstart a revival in individual fortunes and set their side on the way to a memorable success.

Arteta and Santo should both be viewing Sunday's derby as a winnable fixture, and Emirates encounters between the two sides are always fiery spectacles - which we do not expect to change here - and we are backing Arsenal's improved form and defensive resilience to help get them over the line in front of a raucous home crowd.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
