๐Ÿ’ Bournemouth vs Fulham โšช๏ธ This is going to be a great watch! We can expect Bournemouth to press aggressively in their 4-1-4-1 shape (Image 1), but Fulham will be equally as physical and well-drilled as the Cherries (Image 2 - Fulham's compact 4-4-2). Both Andersen and Bassey

โšช๏ธ Leeds United vs Spurs โšซ๏ธ Leeds are definitely not pushovers. They have a physical midfield 3 of Stach-Ampadu-Longstaff, they're happy to sit in their 4-5-1 (Image 1) and they play good football. Unfortunately, the big issue in their squad is their frontline - they just don't

๐Ÿ”ด Arsenal vs West Ham โš’๏ธ Under Potter, I'd have predicted Arsenal thrash West Ham. Now that Nuno's in charge, I'm not so sure. West Ham set up in a deep and compact 4-5-1 against Everton (see image). We'll likely see something similar on the weekend (it could even be a back

๐Ÿ‘น Manchester United vs Sunderland ๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› This is a tricky one to predict. United were awful defensively against Brentford and struggled to deal with simple long balls in behind their high line (Image 1). Sunderland are a solid team. They sat deep in their 4-4-2 (Image 2) against

๐Ÿ”ต Chelsea vs Liverpool ๐Ÿ”ด These are two teams far from their best. Chelsea's defence is vulnerable without Colwill and Liverpool have not been able to accommodate their new signings smoothly. Chelsea's CBs can't deal with simple long balls (Image 1) and Maresca commits a lot

๐Ÿฅท Aston Villa vs Burnley ๐Ÿท Assuming Burnley set up in their 5-4-1 (see image), I expect this to be a tough game for Villa. They're coming off a European game with very minimal recovery time and Burnley will sit in a low block. Harvey Elliott is great against low blocks but he

๐Ÿฌ Everton vs Crystal Palace ๐Ÿฆ… This is a tricky game to call. Both sides are great defensively and are usually more dangerous when they have less of the ball. Everton are robust when they sit in their 4-4-2 (Image 1) and Glasner's 5-4-1 (Image 2) is one of the best defences in

โšซ๏ธ Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest ๐ŸŒณ Eddie Howe has switched to a 5-4-1 after short turnarounds this season, but I'm expecting to see Newcastle's 4-3-3 (see image) in this game. We know Ange's Forest will likely try to play through Newcastle's press so this could be a good

๐Ÿบ Wolves vs Brighton ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Wolves started with a back 4 against Spurs (see image) and moved to a back 5 in the second half. I'm not sure which system we'll see in this game. Wolves are probably more defensively secure in a back 5 but they looked a lot more comfortable on the ball

๐Ÿ Brentford vs Manchester City ๐Ÿ”ต Brentford used Dango as a WB off-the-ball to make a back 5 against United (Image 1) so I think we can assume Brentford defend in a back 5 against City (they're a better attack). Against Chelsea and Fulham, Brentford's low block wasn't rigid
