Premier League predictions: Chelsea and Spurs victorious, Liverpool and City draw


  • English
  • Arabic

And then there was one. Matchday 7 in the Premier League and we are down to just a single team with an unbeaten record.

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are top of the table and yet to lose a game, although they did manage to twice throw away the lead in last week's 3-3 draw at Brentford.

Down at the bottom, there are still five teams who have yet to win a game with Norwich City, Burnley, Leeds United, Newcastle United and Southampton all still waiting to claim three points.

Starting a busy Saturday programme of fixtures, Manchester United play host to Everton at Old Trafford, followed by Burnley at home to Norwich and Chelsea facing Southampton in the capital. Leeds take on Watford in Yorkshire, Wolves are against Newcastle at Molineux, while Brighton versus Arsenal at the Amex finishes off the day's games.

Sunday sees Crystal Palace versus Leicester, Tottenham against Villa and West Ham entertain Brentford - all in London. The weekend's crunch clash sees Liverpool clash with Manchester City at Anfield that brings an end to the latest round of games.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
