As much as I'd like to see Warnock mastermind a famous win I don't see it happening. Chelsea will probably have a "going" season with the new manager (that is the usual pattern), I don't see them being in the mood to drop points against a relegation candidate at home. Chelsea 2 Cardiff 0

Doom and destruction for Fulham I'm afraid, they showed some nice touches when they played Spurs at Wembley, I think they'll stay up. However, Man City are relentlessly good, the team to beat this season and I doubt that many will achieve that much... Man City 4 Fulham 0

In the predictions league I play in I went 2-0 to Bournemouth. It came up with a flag saying less than 5% of people had gone for that score line, meaning I'll get a bonus point if it turns out to be correct. Not sure why, Bournemouth in top form, Vardy still out with his ban, and I think...

Two teams uncomfortably close to the drop zone, if I'm honest I think Hudds will go down this season but Palace have enough quality to stay up. If the Yorkshire team are going to silence people like me this is just the sort of game they have to win. Zaha is back in training, I wouldn't be at all...

Yep, there hasn't been a great deal to suggest that Newcastle are on the verge of turning around their form. Arsenal are still a work in progress with the new man in charge, but I think they've shown enough to merit confidence that they can heap a bit more misery on the shoulders of the Toon...

I'm saying the Watford party will continue as they hold Man Utd to draw. These games against difficult opposition away can be a mare for the "favourite" team. I seem to recall (without looking at the stats) that Man Utd had a good record against the "smaller" teams away last season, so I...

Both games were a bit unusual between these two last season, in that Spurs got something home and away! Defensive errors gave Tottenham a handsome, and slightly flattering win at Wembley, and we absolutely snatched a draw at the death at Anfield, a reverse of the normal trend. I forecast this...

Ah, football is s fickle mistress, one week your're in heaven, the next purgatory! Well done Watford, no complaints, they exploited our Achilles heel of set pieces and crosses. Strange that we haven't sorted that area with an otherwise stingy defence. Nonetheless, no crying or sour grapes, we...

You have more knowledge of his "pre-City" career, so I accept I may have an overly rosy view of him. I guess anyone looks gentlemany next to Mourinho!

Come on Trips, you always do the business against Watford! Fully expecting a close game, I'm hoping Spurs are in a going mood to nick the game by the odd goal. Watford are very game, they always attack. regardless of the opposition. They'll cause us some problems, just hoping we can cause them...

Yaarp, a reflection of my poor research, didn't know Zaha was out or I wouldn't have backed Palace. Their record is appalling when he doesn't play...:sad: (come to Spurs in the January window Zaha, you know it makes sense!)

Well done Wolves, excellent away win, West Ham came back second half but lacked cohesion in defence. Massive three points for the men in gold, absolute sh*te for the men in claret. It could have been more if Jiménez had buried that sitter, West Ham have some defensive flaws to 'iron out'...

I'm available if you want me to put a hex on the opposition with my predictions. My rates are very reasonable!:bg:

Slow start by Spam, Wolves look very"together", a clear game plan. Interesting to see where this one goes...

Good win for Liverpool in the end, I like the look of Gomez in defence, a good 'un I'd say. Quick, a good football brain, and he really chucks the ball a long way for throw ins! Fair play to Leicester, they made a decent fight back in the second half when I thought Liverpool might run them...

Good game for Everton to cement what has been a decent start to the season, Huddersfield are going to struggle this season I fancy. Everton 2 Huddersfield 0

Palace have looked pretty good so far this season, they are always strong at home, cant take it away from Hodgson. Southampton are just so hit and miss, hard to know where they will end up this season. I was going to go with a draw, Southampton have a decent record against Palace, but on...

This is going to be close, both teams have shown enough this season to suggest they are going to be competitive in the Prem this season. Draw very tempting, but I'm letting my heart rule my head; ex-Spurs man Hughton to get the Seagulls soaring. Brighton 2 Fulham 1

Poor old Newcastle, terrible fixture when you are desperate for some points to turn around a bad start to the season. As if things weren't bad enough going out to Forest in the cup can hardly have improved the humour of the long suffering Barcode fans. Man City seem to have got themselves in...

Great start to the season for Bournemouth, and although Sarri seems to have got his team playing with more cohesion and belief a tricky tie against a confident Bournemouth side will test him and the players. I think the Cherries are good for a point. Bournemouth 1 Chelsea 1
