The Premier League begins to take shape with Liverpool and Arsenal already establishing themselves as the first contenders.
Below, Wolves and West Ham have only one victory between them.
It’s a list of lights this weekend. Here are our predictions for the sixth round.
SATURDAY
Brentford against Manchester United (1230)
Manchester United did a hard job to see a Chelsea team reduced to 10 men in the first minutes last weekend. The stupidity of Casemiro saw the figures for it, but visitors could only evoke a goal from Trevoh Cahlobah in response to the previous efforts of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro himself.
The men of Ruben Amorim remain a little a mystery. They refer to progress only to take several steps back and it can be the latter that we see at the Gtech stadium.
Brentford has undergone three defeats on the Premier League road, but remains strong at home with four points from matches against Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Manchester United
Chelsea in Brighton (1500)
Robert Sanchez returns from his suspension of a match following his red card at Old Trafford and will probably start alongside several other former Seagulls, including Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Joao Pedro and Facundo Buonanotte.
He adds a spark to an important luminaire for both sides.
Chelsea needs a victory to bounce back after the disappointment against United while Brighton had to launch his season after a victory for his first five games.
Question points remain on the defense of Chelsea, but their firepower should be sufficient to see them above the line in it.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Brighton
Crystal Palace against Liverpool (1500)
Liverpool is the head of Selhurst Park, seeks to win six victories from six.
The victory last weekend over Everton – and the mid -week defeat of Southampton in the EFL Cup – continued the trend of victorious emerging Reds without playing particularly well and the Boss Arne Slot will be looking for an improved display in the south of London.
Alexander Isak left the brand against the saints and he could start with Hugo Ekitike suspended.
Palace was impressive winners at West Ham the last time and will probably seem to enjoy another impressive season. They beat Liverpool on penalties in the community shield and we think they could also get something here.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Liverpool
Leeds against Bournemouth (1500)
Bournemouth continues to thrive under Andoni Iraola with the Cherries an outfit well perceived with a rhythm to burn at the break.
The crowd of Elland Road will be satisfied with anything less than seeing their side pour forward, which could open spaces on the counter for Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert.
Bournemouth won the Spurs in his last Premier League match on the road and we would not be surprised to see a rehearsal here and put an end to an undefeated home record in Leeds.
Prediction: Leeds 1-3 Bournemouth
Manchester City against Burnley (1500)
City has shown signs that they could go back to the strength that they have been in the past in recent weeks. A 3-0 defeat of Manchester United turned out to be promising, but the nature of their 1-1 draw in Arsenal, ruined by the equalizer of Gabriel Martinelli, showed a more pragmatic approach of Pep Guardiola.
It is unlikely that it will be exposed again when Burnley visits the Etihad.
The promotion of clarets was built around a water waterproof, but they had trouble reproducing this in the upper flight.
He should * be tailor -made so that Erling Haaland continues his start to the end of the goal for the club and the country.
Prediction: Manchester City 4-0 Burnley
Nottingham Forest against Sunderland (1730)
The forest was frustrated in the middle of the week, Antony’s late goal for the real Betis refused them a victorious return to European football in Seville.
This would have been a first welcome victory for Ange Postcoglou, which is starting to implement his ideas.
Sunderland has not proven that the whipped boys that many had predicted with regis the breakage losing only one of their first five games. And their determination to grasp a point against Aston Villa last weekend despite the game for almost an hour with 10 men was impressive.
The clothes are solid and defensively solid but must add more creativity to their performance.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Sunderland
Tottenham in Wolves (2000)
Thomas Frank’s team has shown a 2-0 strike grain to take a point in Brighton the last time, another sign that the Spurs will not be push under the Danish.
Their summer recruitment added depth to a team that has always been some injuries of less serious problems and should be able to balance domestic and European commitments with a certain degree of confidence.
They should be too good for one side of the wolves which is already starting to worry about their high -flying status.
The men of Vitor Pereira will be better, but the improvement will not start this weekend.
Prediction: Tottenham 3-0 Wolves
SUNDAY
Aston Villa against Fulham (1400)
Villa was lamentable in Sunderland last weekend and had the chance to emerge with one point.
The players and coach Unai Emery quickly rejected a crisis, but they need a first victory and quickly, otherwise their season could be over before it really starts.
Fulham is a delicate opposition and, having won successive home matches against Leeds and Brentford, will arrive at Villa Park in the hope of doing an uncomfortable afternoon for the local team.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham
Newcastle against Arsenal (1630)
The weekend game sees the often bitter rivalry between Newcastle and Arsenal revived.
Mikel Arteta has been accused of a negative approach in key matches this season and its configuration for it will be fascinating.
Newcastle has physicality to disturb anyone, even a team like Arsenal who also have abundance power.
The defeat for Arsenal would increase the murmurs around Arteta while a victory would show the accent on Eddie Howe and his team intensively.
Prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Arsenal
MONDAY
Everton against West Ham (2000)
Monday evening football comes, for the first time, from the Hill Dickinson stadium.
The new Everton house has already shown signs of becoming a fortress with four matches against Brighton and Villa.
West Ham does not show any sign of improvement under Graham Potter and another defeat here could spell the end of the former Chelsea boss.
Prediction: Everton 2-0 West Ham
