The Premier League returns this weekend with a round of fixtures that could shake the table in several directions, and former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has rolled out his predictions.

Brentford begin the Premier League action at home to Burnley on Saturday afternoon. The hosts have blown hot and cold this season, though Sutton expects them to get the job done, calling a 2-0 win for Keith Andrews’s side. Sunderland’s home meeting with Bournemouth kicks off at the same time, and he fancies the visitors to shade it 2-1.

Manchester City’s clash with Leeds United is the pick of the later matches. City have been formidable on home soil, while Leeds remain stuck in the relegation places after a run of narrow but costly defeats. Sutton predicts a long afternoon for the visitors, going with a 4-0 win for the champions.

Everton’s evening fixture against Newcastle could be far tighter. The blue side of Merseyside side have steadied themselves after a slow start and Sutton feels the points will be shared, going for 1-1 at Goodison Park.

The final match on Saturday sees Tottenham take on Fulham under the lights. Spurs have stuttered recently, yet Sutton still thinks Marco Silva’s men can hold them, settling on another 1-1 draw.

Sunday brings a busy schedule. Crystal Palace, enjoying one of their strongest starts in years, welcome Manchester United to Selhurst Park. Sutton believes Palace will edge it 1-0 in front of their home crowd.

Three matches kick off shortly after, including West Ham against Liverpool at the London Stadium. Despite Liverpool’s recent struggles, Sutton has tipped the Hammers to win 2-1. Aston Villa hosting Wolves and Nottingham Forest taking on Brighton round out that slate, with Sutton backing Villa 2-0 and forecasting a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

The day closes with one of the league’s biggest fixtures as Chelsea [Second-placed team in the league] host Arsenal [first-placed team] at Stamford Bridge. Sutton sees Arsenal as the more polished outfit, settling on a 2-0 win for the visitors.
