Luton vs. Spurs (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Separated by 15 places and 13 points in the embryonic Premier League table, Luton Town host Tottenham Hotspur at Kenilworth Road in Saturday's early kickoff, where the visitors can rise to the summit with victory.
The Hatters were subjected to a 2-1 beating at the hands of Burnley in midweek, while Spurs overcame Liverpool by the same scoreline thanks to an already-infamous VAR clanger.
We say: Luton Town 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur
While the last three meetings between Luton and Tottenham on the Hatters' turf have ended without the net rippling once, Postecoglou's goal-happy team should have little difficulty navigating their way past Edwards's leaky backline.
Midweek fatigue and Bell's injury should also play their part in a chastening afternoon for the hosts, as Tottenham temporarily rise to the top of the standings with another few goals in tow.

Chelsea travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon looking to claim their third successive victory in all competitions.
The Clarets, meanwhile, are also in buoyant mood after picking up their first three points of the new season in a 2-1 win at Luton Town on Tuesday.
We say: Burnley 0-1 Chelsea
Although Chelsea are plagued with injuries, Pochettino will have faith in the young crop at his disposal to get the job done against Burnley and enter the international break on a high, but the same can be said for Kompany following his side's midweek success.
The Clarets must tighten up at the back if they are to come away with some form of positive result on Saturday having already shipped 12 goals in four home games this season, but we believe that the Blues will do enough to claim a slender win on their travels.

Boasting just one Premier League triumph between them after seven games of the 2023-24 season, early-season strugglers Everton and Bournemouth square off at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Sean Dyche's side were put to the sword 2-1 by newly-promoted Luton Town at the weekend, while the Cherries were no match for a merciless Arsenal, suffering a 4-0 thumping.
We say: Everton 1-1 Bournemouth
Lots of umming and ahing occurred over the prediction for this basement battle, as Everton have started to show signs of life in the final third over the past few weeks, but frailties at the back continue to rear their ugly heads.
Bournemouth are not well-versed in keeping the back door shut away from home either, but while a first top-flight win of the season should still elude the Cherries, Iraola's side can travel back down south with a hard-earned point, although much will hinge on whether Everton can find their best shooting boots.

Fulham vs. Sheff Utd (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Both aiming to right recent wrongs from 2-0 defeats last time out, Fulham and Sheffield United meet at Craven Cottage for Saturday afternoon's Premier League showdown.
The Cottagers fell to a West London derby beating at the hands of Chelsea on Monday, while the Blades' misery continued in a two-goal defeat to West Ham United.
We say: Fulham 1-0 Sheffield United
Still yet to fill the Aleksandar Mitrovic-shaped void, a shot-shy Fulham should not be expected breach Sheffield United at will this weekend, no matter how shaky Heckingbottom's rearguard has been against Premier League opposition.
Monday aside, however, Silva's team have often found a way to win in front of the home crowd over the past few weeks, and with a recipe for attacking success also eluding Sheffield United, Fulham can emerge victorious by the narrowest of margins.

Man Utd vs. Brentford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Reeling from their worst-ever start to a Premier League season, Manchester United face the disgruntled Old Trafford faithful once again on Saturday, as Brentford head north for a Premier League showdown.
The Red Devils went down 3-2 to Galatasaray in their midweek Champions League affair, while the Bees most recently held out for a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest.
We say: Manchester United 2-1 Brentford
Even the most bullish of Man United supporters will head to Old Trafford with a hint of trepidation this weekend, but Saturday's game will present Ten Hag's team with a prime opportunity to get back on track, as an injury-hit Brentford are not the same force they once were.
While the Bees should be backed to end their goalscoring drought on the Red Devils' turf owing to the hosts' defensive frailties, Frank's defence are far from watertight, and we have faith in Man United to avoid making unwanted history and come out on the correct end of the scoreline, however ugly it may be.

Crystal Palace vs. Nott'm Forest (Saturday, 5.30pm)

A week on from their impressive win at Old Trafford, Crystal Palace return to Selhurst Park for a Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
The Eagles sit ninth in the top-flight table and three points ahead of a Forest side who are looking to end a three-game winless run when they travel to South London.
We say: Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest
The absence of Eze is a huge blow for Palace and Hodgson will need someone else to step up and provide a creative spark against a Forest side who will fancy their chances of finding the net having already scored in six of their first seven league games this season.
Both teams will view Saturday's clash as a winnable game and will hope to enter the international break on a high, but there is little to separate these two evenly-matched sides which could result in a share of the spoils at Selhurst Park.
