Prediction: Bournemouth 1 West Ham 0

Brighton are still lacking consistency having not yet secured two league wins in a row which means the Seagulls are currently 11th in the table. They drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace before the international break.
Brentford are level on points with their opponents after three victories in their previous four games but have lost four out of five matches away from home.
Prediction: Brighton 3 Brentford 2
Fulham v Sunderland (7pm)
Fulham are going through a dreadful run of five losses in six games which leaves them one point outside the relegation zone. The Cottagers' home form is decent, though, having taken 10 points from a possible 15.

Prediction: Fulham 2 Sunderland 1
Liverpool v Nottingham Forest (7pm)
Liverpool find themselves down in eight place after their 3-0 humbling at Manchester City – making it five league defeats already for Arne Slot's men, who lost four games all season on the way to winning the title last time round.
Forest remain second bottom despite taking four points from a possible six in their last two games, sweeping aside Leeds 3-1 before the break but have taken just two points in five games away from home.
Prediction: Liverpool 2 Forest 0
Wolves v Crystal Palace (7pm)
Rob Edwards takes charge of his first Wolves game since taking over as manager with his team bottom of the pile and just two points on the board. They are also looking a avoid a fifth defeat in a row.
Palace are 10th in the table but are another side who have yet to win two successive league games in a row and are juggling the extra workload of playing in Europe and the resulting fixture pile-up. The Eagles do have the fifth best away record in the top-flight, though.
Prediction: Wolves 1 Palace 2
Newcastle v Man City (9.30pm)
Newcastle's struggles – particularly away from home – mean they are just two points above the bottom three following three defeats in four matches.

Prediction: Newcastle 2 Man City 2
Sunday: Leeds United v Aston Villa (6pm)

Prediction: Leeds 0 Villa 1
Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur (8.30pm)
Arsenal remain top of the pile despite being held to a 2-2 draw by Sunderland before the break which ended the Gunners' 10-game win streak across all competitions. It was also the first goals Arsenal had conceded after run of eight clean sheets.
