Big points on the line as week seven of the Premier League begins.

Here are all the match predications from our sports correspondent.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace

Premier League week 7 kicks off with the Friday Night Football as Everton host Crystal Palace at Goodison Park. Both teams score a lot goals and have all started on a good note. Everton has been amazing going forward but, have lost their last two games against Norwich in the League Cup and to Bournemouth in the Premier League.

They are playing at home this evening and they will try hard to reduce on the damage in front of their fans. Crystal Palace are in 7th position with 10 points from 6 games played so far, I don’t trust Crystal Palace’s defending against an aggressive Everton for 90 minutes but, they have an advantage upfront with Benteke getting to score more goals. He has scored four goals so far and I see many goals still coming, however, a combination of Lukaku and Yannick Bolasie seems to be more working than any other duo Everton has had before, it will be the first time Bolasie is playing against his former club and his former manager Allan Pardew.

Therefore it makes sense that he is likely to score in this match. I am going for an Everton win, Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace.

Swansea vs. Liverpool

Liverpool travel to Swansea City who are seated fourth from the bottom and have only one draw in their last five games.

They host Liverpool who are currently rated amongst the Premier League favorites this season with thirteen points from 6 games so far. There are many reports in different sports media houses indicating how the 60 year old Swansea manager will lose his job if he fails to contain Liverpool and many have linked former Manchester United player and Assistant coach Ryan Giggs to this job but, I also think it’s a little bit hash on Guidolin’s side to be given a Liverpool game as a decider whether he should stay or leave Liberty Stadium.

Swansea will try to be disciplined in this game and become a little resistant but, they cannot do it for whole 90 minutes, I think Liverpool will win this though it will be a hard one, I predict Swansea 1-3 Liverpool.

Hull City vs. Chelsea

Hull City hosts Chelsea at KCOM Stadium tomorrow evening having lost their last two Premier League games to Arsenal and Liverpool consecutively.

Hull City also got two red cards in their last two games and coach Phelan will have to sort this mess out before they come into this Chelsea game if they are to put up some show. It is rather unlucky for Hull City that they host Conte’s men who have equally suffered two loses in their last two Premier League games against Liverpool and Arsenal, I am sure Hull City will stage the highest defense but, still its unlucky that they are playing Chelsea and I don’t see them defend up to the last whistle with Chelsea hungry for a bounce-back win.

I predict Hull City 1-3 Chelsea.

Sunderland vs. West Bromwich

Sunderland brought in new coach David Moyes at the beginning the season but, they have only managed to get one point in the last six games.

They are seated last on the bottom of the table with 7 goals in deficit, they are hosting West Bromwich at Stadium of Light who are in 10th position on the table and look to be more solid in defense than Sunderland.

David Moyes saw his team squander a 2 goal lead last weekend against Crystal Palace who came from 2 goals down to win 3-2 with Christian Benteke’s stoppage time header.

Sunderland and Moyes come into this game with fresh injuries from their previous game and the likes of Defoe have proved to be good despite their teams League position and playing at home again I think will give Sunderland a boost and am convinced to give Sunderland their first win this season. I predict

Sunderland 2-0 West Bromwich.

Watford vs. AFC Bournemouth

Watford lost their last game to Burnley on Monday conceding 2 goals, but, they had won their previous game against Manchester United. They are hosting Bournemouth at Vicarage Road Stadium home of Watford which might not be an easy field for Bournemouth.

Watford has not lost to Bournemouth at home in their last three meetings but, this season’s Bournemouth team looks very solid and good at scoring goals, I will go for a draw in this with 2 goals each team, Watford 2-2 Bournemouth.

West Ham United vs. Middlesbrough

West Ham will be hosting Middleborough without the likes of Ayew, Sakho, and Cresswell. They are seating 3rd last from the bottom, just above Stoke City and Sunderland respectively.

West Ham have manage to collect only five points out of six games played so far with a nine goals deficit. The host, Boro who are two positions ahead of West Ham lost their last game at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

West Ham and their coach Slaven Bilic finished 7th last season but, have started poorly this season with only one win and two draws so far. West Ham will do everything in this game to get at least a point and it’s a gift for them to be playing at home but, three points against Boro is not sure until the 90 minutes whistle but, I will predict a West Ham win,

West Ham 2-1 Middlesbrough.

Manchester United vs. Stoke City

Manchester United against stoke will be the Sundays’ early kickoff at 02:00pm EAT.

United was very astounding in the last Premier League game against Leicester which saw United score four times just before half time. We saw changes in the midfield that positively exposed Pogba’s potential and even his ability to score. We saw Ander Herrera starting the game for the first time this season in Fellainis’ position and Jesse Lingard starting in Wayne Rooney’s position and this was a different Manchester United team.

United will win this game even without these changes but, you don’t want to see a scenario of a win by just one hard earned goal like what happened in the Europa mid-week fixture against Ukrainians Zorya which United won by a goal to nil when Mourinho chose to rest Herrera again and brought Fellaini to partner with Pogba.

Stoke on the other side are second last on table with only two points in six games and have conceded the highest number of goals with an elven goals deficit, they will want to hurt United but, 6th positioned United team will not want to give away more points on a game like this well knowing table leaders Manchester City are six points ahead of United,

I predict United 3-0 Stoke.

Leicester City vs. Southampton

Leicester City will be playing their fourth Premier League game at home this Sunday and their 7th league fixture this season but, have only secured 7 points from six games played so far.

They are however, performing well in the Champions League with maximum points achieved in the two games played so far but, yet to impress in the local league. Leicester have some good talent capable of winning such games but, they are still struggling with new players like Ahemd Musa who has started a few Premier League games and has been very impressive and 28 year old Algerian attacker Islam Slimani is already on the scoring sheet having scored the only goal against Porto in the Champions League. Southampton can be harmful but, it won’t be easy this Sunday for them visiting King Power Stadium,

I will go for Leicester win 2-1.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City

This for me is the game of the weekend, yet another test for Manchester City and Guardiola whether they can stand the pressure of being on top of the table.

Tottenham have a chance of closing the gap between them and the League leaders to one point if they win. They are in second position with 14 points in six games just 4 points behind Man City, the table leaders with 18 points.

Manchester City conceded three goals midweek when they travelled to Scotland in Champions League against Celtic but, they equally scored three times and managed to secure a draw. Having Spurs as their next game is not a favorable fixture and it may not turn out well for City.

If Spurs can defend well, I see Man city register their first loss of points this season by losing this game or a draw for them. Spurs are however yet to confirm whether Rose and Kane will be available but, the likes of Alli, Wanyama and Lamela are available.

I see a draw of 2-2 in this.

Burnley vs. Arsenal

The last game of the weekend will be Burnley hosting Arsenal at Turf Moor Stadium where Watford fell victim on Monday by losing (2-0) to Burnley.

Arsenal are in 3rd position and are on a good run of form scoring nine goals in their last three premier league games. On the other side, Burnley has won one game in the last five games in all competitions putting them in the 13th position with a three goals deficit. They host Arsenal who are picking up on their rhythm of play and goals seem to be flowing in, it’s possible for Burnley to frustrate Arsenal but, it will take a lot of discipline and good last touches for the Burnley attackers.

Arsenal has a wide squad of players to look at and Wenger can afford to make necessary changes having played Champions League midweek against Basel. Arsenal’s two first half goals from Theo Walcott separated the two teams, Arsenal are by far the favorites but, I have a feeling Burnley is planning something dangerous and Arsenal will fight hard to survive. I will predict a draw with 3 goals each,

Burnley 3-3 Arsenal.
