Arsenal v Wigan
Arsenal will be buoyed by their success in Europe midweek - they were missing about nine players for that match but they still won. Despite losing at Manchester City last week, they were in control for large parts of the game.
Wigan are still very up and down. They had a much-needed home win last week but Arsenal will have too much for them.
Verdict: 2-0
Aston Villa v Portsmouth
Villa had an excellent win last week in the Birmingham derby, because they were under a bit of pressure after a poor home start to the season.
Portsmouth are desperate for points - the Pompey chimes aren't ringing in a nice way, it sounds more like the tolling of the bell. When you've sold so much of the team, it's bound to take a while to get any momentum.
Verdict: 2-0
Bolton v Stoke
Bolton had an excellent win at Portsmouth last week and have not been playing badly; they've just failed to pick up points but getting three goals away will give them a boost.
Stoke gave Chelsea a run for their money last week too, and style-wise there's not too much difference between these two sides.
Verdict: 1-1
Hull v Birmingham
In another six months this will be a bargain basement battle. I'll go for Hull to win - they held up Sunderland for a while before going down 4-1 last week.
At home they will create chances, while for Birmingham, home or away, where the goals come from will always be an issue.
Verdict: 1-0
West Ham v Liverpool (1730)
It's been a topsy-turvy start for West Ham, which is odd because for the majority of Gianfranco Zola's reign they've had a level of consistency which they hadn't had for a while.
After a couple of hiccups, Liverpool have started to pick themselves up, but I think it'll be quite tight. West Ham are good at home as long as they've not got too many injuries.
Verdict: 1-1
SUNDAY
Man Utd v Man City (1330 KO)
City will be without Adebayor, Robinho and probably Tevez for this game, and it's very difficult to attack United and try to take the game to them when you've got players like that missing. People are saying it's the first time in nearly 40 years that they've gone into a derby on near equal footing - but it's only September, so I wouldn't read too much into that.
It will be tight, but Fergie made five changes for the Champions League game the other night and he's rested a few players. So I think United have got enough to win it.
Verdict: 2-1
Wolves v Fulham (1400 KO)
Even though they beat Everton at home last week, I thought Fulham looked tentative and nervy. We know they're good defensively, but they've struggled to create chances.
Wolves will be a topsy-turvy team this season, but they're starting to get their strikers fit and I think they'll cause teams problems.
Verdict: 2-1
Everton v Blackburn (1500 KO)
Yakubu might be back for Everton, which will be great as they need competition for places up front. The loss of Phil Neville is a blow but not as big as the absence of Mikel Arteta - Phil Jagielka, Arteta and Neville are all first-choice starters, and they're all out at the moment.
But I fancy them to beat Blackburn, because away from home Rovers' style just doesn't have the same kind of impact it does at home.
Verdict: 2-1
Chelsea v Tottenham (1600 KO)
By Sunday evening Tottenham will have an idea what's in store for them this season. They will have to go to Stamford Bridge carrying an attacking threat but also get the balance of the team right.
That's hard to judge when you haven't got the ball, and against Chelsea they're playing against an outstanding team. They're all top-class internationals and they've not lost a game under Carlo Ancelotti.
Verdict: 2-1
