Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea beat Liverpool again as Everton get some welcome relief: Premier League predictions

Champions Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City among the weekend's other winners.

West Ham United 1 Manchester United 2. Why? It has been a tough week on and off the pitch for Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in the past week. West Ham have picked up after a poor start with four points from their last two games, but United have won their last three away games in all competitions and a fourth can come here to give Mourinho some much needed cheer.

Arsenal 3 Watford 1. Why? Watford have been one of the surprise packages of the season so far, but Arsenal's strikeforce of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, pictured, and Alexandre Lacazette will test a defence that has not kept a clean sheet since the opening day of the season. Arsenal to prevail to continue their recovery from their losing start to the campaign. Action Images

Everton 2 Fulham 1. Why? The feel-good time of Marco Silva's tenure at Everton has already worn off and this is a big game for the Portuguese manager to allay fears of a slump.

Huddersfield Town 0 Tottenham Hotspur 3. Why? Tottenham stopped the rot with their win at Brighton last weekend and they will look to maintain that momentum against struggling Huddersfield, who are still without a win this season in the league. Dele Alli, pictured, looked to be showing signs of returning to form in the League Cup against Watford on Wednesday and he will look to build on that here. Getty Images

Manchester City 4 Brighton and Hove Albion 0. Why? Pep Guardiola, pictured, and City may have one eye on the Uefa Champions League next week, following their shock opening week loss to Lyon, but they should still have too much for Brighton. The question will be who lines up for City with players such as Sergio Aguero and David Silva possibly being rested. Action Images via Reuters

Newcastle United 1 Leicester City 2. Why? Newcastle are not conceding many, eight being the least of teams in the bottom eight, but four goals in six games tells the story of their struggles. Leicester have been inconsistent, but their greater goal threat, led by Jamie Vardy, pictured left,, can get them the three points here. Getty Images

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 Southampton 0. Why? It is not often promoted teams, in recent years, live up to the hype of Wolves. They were expected to be good and they have been. They have only lost once this season and that won't change against Southampton, with Joao Moutinho, pictured, and Ruben Neves pulling the strings. Reuters

Chelsea 2 Liverpool 1. Why? Liverpool have a 100 per cent record and Chelsea are unbeaten. Something has to give on Saturday. The League Cup clash on Wednesday, which Chelsea won, saw both sides much-changed, but Chelsea have momentum from it. Plus they have Eden Hazard, pictured, playing sensationally. This will be a cracking game, but Chelsea to take the points and inflict Liverpool's first setback in the Premier League this season. Getty Images

Cardiff City 0 Burnley 1. Why? Cardiff are a spirited outfit, but do not appear to have the quality at either of the pitch to make this return to the top flight more then just an one-season trip. Burnley took the pressure of Sean Dyche with their win over Bournemouth last weekend, and with Ashley Barnes back among the goals they can win again on Sunday. Getty Images

Bournemouth 2 Crystal Palace 2. Why? Both sides have solid starts to the the season, and this should be an entertaining encounter. Bournemouth will lean on strikers Josh King and Callum Wilson again, while Palace's hopes of goals will again sit on the shoulders of Wilfried Zaha, pictured. PA via AP

After the fun of the English League Cup in midweek it is back to the Premier League this weekend.

The highlight of the 10 games is leaders Liverpool, who have a 100 per cent record, taking on unbeaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with the added twist that the London side prevailed in the League Cup at Anfield on Wednesday when the two sides faced off.

That is the 8.30pm UAE kick-off time on Saturday game, with West Ham United v Manchester United at 3.30pm.

There are six games kicking off at 6pm on Saturday, with Cardiff City v Burnley on Sunday at 7pm and Bournemouth v Crystal Palace on Monday at 11pm.
