Football is back! The wait is finally over. I will be dishing out weekly predictions on all the matches to be played in the EPL this season. So, join me on the ride.
Which teams will win their first EPL games this season? Read up my predictions to find out
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal
Crystal Palace took four points from this fixture over two legs last season and they will be raring to continue in that vein of form this season.
Crystal Palace under Patrick Vieira have been very impressive and I see them finishing well again this season. However, I expect Mikel Arteta's men to give us the viewers a real spectacle on Friday night. Judging from Arsenal's pre-season performance, they should impress this season but I still can't put my money on them finishing in the top four this season.
I will bank on the game to end in a draw as I am struggling to find a winner here.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Arsenal
Fulham vs Liverpool
Liverpool layed down a marker with their Community Shield triumph over Manchester City and I am going to back them to win the league this season.
Fulham on their part will struggle again playing topflight football and they will also struggle to withstand Jurgen Klopp's men on Saturday. So it's a comfortable Liverpool win for me. infact, I will be surprised if Fulham are still in the game at halftime.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Fulham 0-3 Liverpool
Tottenham vs Southampton
Tottenham have really done well on the transfer market so far, but it remains to be seen if they will replicate their impressive transfer dealings on the field of play.
Southampton were lucky not to be relegated last season and I think they will still struggle this season.
I think Tottenham will have too much for Ralph Hasenhüttl's men.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Southampton
Leeds United vs Wolves
This two sides are at their very best a midtable team. But I think this game will be entertaining on Saturday with both teams looking to lay down a marker. However, I think Wolves should be able to get something here so I am going for a draw.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Leeds United 1-1 Wolves
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa look very inspiring under Steven Gerrard and I think they will get something out of this clash.
Bournemouth will struggle in the league this season and I see them returning back to the Championship at the end of the season.
I am just going to back Aston Villa to win here, albeit very slim one.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Aston Villa
Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest
I won't be surprised if Newcastle finish in the top six this season. They have a wealthy owner these days and they have looked very ambitious. They are chasing Leicester City's James Maddison. If they can get him, I think that will really improve their quality.
Nottingham Forest on their part were very impressive in the championship last season but it remains to be seen if they can also impress playing topflight football this season.
I am just going to stick with Newcastle to win on their turf with the backing of their fans.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest
Everton vs Chelsea
I think Chelsea should be able to win this one. if the Blues want to finish in the top four this season, then they should be winning this sort of matches. However, I expect Frank Lampard's Everton side to trouble Chelsea but still Thomas Tuchel's men should be able to edge this encounter.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Everton 1-2 Chelsea
Manchester United vs Brighton
Just like I said about Chelsea, if Manchester United want to finish in the top four this season then they should be winning this sort of match. However, Brighton are no pushovers and should give Erik Ten Hag's men lot of problem on Sunday.
The Red Devils impressed in pre-season and I think if they replicate same form here they should be able to win this one. I am going for a Manchester United win here in front of their fans but it's going to be a very tight game.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Brighton
Leicester City vs Brentford
So far, Leicester City remains the only side to have not bring in any new face ahead of the new season. Do I think they can finish as high as eighth as they finished last season? No. They will need to reinforce their squad if they wish to finish anywhere close to where they finished last season.
Brentford really impressed last season and I am backing them to get something from this clash. Therefore, I am going for a draw.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: Leicester City 1-1 Brentford
West Ham vs Manchester City
Pep Guardiola's men will be looking to retain the title this season. But they need to show their quality here if they desire a win in this clash. They were very unappealing against Liverpool in the Community Shield and will need to step up their performance here to get the maximum points.
West Ham can be very difficult to play against on their day and City will be hoping it's not West Ham's day on Sunday.
I am going for a Manchester City win here but it going to be a very slim one.
Godwin d Pundit's correct score prediction: West Ham 0-1 Manchester City
