Another weekend of exciting Premier League action is here and as usual, the Joy Sports team is on hand to offer expert predictions!

So what's the story?

Apart from Jordan Ayew meeting his brother, Andre, Slaven Bilic finds himself under far more pressure than Paul Clement even though West Ham only lie a point below Swansea. Bilic desperately needs a win after last week’s defeat to Tottenham and it is likely to be a tense afternoon at the London Stadium. Swansea have lacked a goal threat this season, but they held Spurs and have been tough to break down away from home. Which of the brothers will prevail?

Chelsea’s complaints about a lack of recovery time after Wednesday’s eye-catching success at Atlético Madrid have been overshadowed somewhat by the untimely loss to injury of Benjamin Mendy and Sergio Agüero for Manchester City. Yet the visitors will still arrive at Stamford Bridge brimming with attacking intent, and Antonio Conte’s side, rejigged or not, will need to rescale the heights of their display at the Wanda Metropolitano to check the leaders’ progress. The suspicion is this could actually end up as fascinating a duel between Conte and Pep Guardiola as the players out on the field.

Stoke City are still severely depleted in defence, with only Kurt Zouma at full fitness, and will likely struggle as they did last week against Chelsea. Mark Hughes does have hope in Southampton’s inability to score with any frequency but his crisis may be the jolt Mauricio Pellegrino’s attackers need to spark them into life. If Stoke do lose again they risk falling into the relegation zone.

Manchester United’s season could not have started much better and Crystal Palace’s much worse. United are fresh from Wednesday’s emphatic 4-1 over CSKA Moscow and are second in thePremier L eague only on goal difference, while Palace still search for a first goal and first point after suffering a 5-0 hammering at Manchester City last Saturday. There should, surely, be only one result. 

All these, plus the rest, make up for a great weekend of football. The full tale is as follows:

Huddersfield v Spurs
Bournemouth v Leicester
Man Utd v Crystal Palace
Stoke v Southampton
West Brom v Watford 
West Ham v Swansea
Chelsea v Man City
Arsenal v Brighton
Everton v Burnley
Newcastle v Liverpool
