Once again the Leader’s sports writers go head-to-head to predict the outcome of all ten top-flight games.

With three points for predicting the correct score, or one for the correct match outcome (win/lose/draw), let us know your thoughts on this weekend’s action.

BRIGHTON v CHELSEA

NICK HARRISON: After Chelsea’s latest failures in front of goal, you wouldn’t bet against another nil-nil. What’s the matter with Morata? He’s so out of form, it’s forced Conte to try and bring in Andy Carroll. Says it all. Maybe this is a chance for the Seagulls to take at least a point. 1-1

TOM NORRIS: If you’ve got a better defence than Arsenal’s then there is a chance you can keep this current Chelsea squad at bay. And Brighton currently have a better record for goals against than the Gunners. Then again, Chelsea have Hazard, Willian, Pedro and Fabregas even if Morata is out of form. 0-1

DAN HEALD: Chelsea have been uninspiring and lack the attacking verve that made them such a force in recent seasons. Expect a dogged rearguard action from Brighton and one goal to settle this in the visitors’ favour. 0-1

ARSENAL v CRYSTAL PALACE

NH: Palace’s pace will upset to dodgy Gunners’ defence but Arsenal have played decent attacking football at home this season. Lacazette looks average to say the least, Welbeck’s gone backwards so it might be Ramsey to the rescue for Wenger. 3-2

TN: A sign of how far Arsenal have fallen in recent weeks that Palace will arrive at the Emirates confident of picking up a positive result. The Gunners are a mess from back to front at present and Roy’s boys will smell blood. Could be another game to forget for Wenger. 1-2

DH: Wenger’s charmed life at the Gunners helm looks to be coming to an abrupt end. They floundered at Bournemouth last week and Hodgson's well-organised Palace can take at least a point here. 2-2

BURNLEY v MANCHESTER UNITED

NH: United showed signs of attacking football against Stoke. But it was only Stoke and Burnley will prove a much tougher unit to breakdown. One goal could be enough to win it and Martial may be the man to win it. 0-1

TN: Sean Dyche’s men went to Old Trafford and picked up a point and they will fancy their chances of even more here. Jose’s boys appear well set up to play on the counter and with Pogba purring the visitors should have enough to clinch victory. 0-2

DH: Burnley’s current barren spell felt inevitable after playing superbly in the first third of the season. United will be in unforgiving mood and can heap more misery on Sean Dyche’s men. 0-2

EVERTON v WEST BROM

NH: Walcott’s coming in to inject pace into a lethargic Toffees team, who are suffering a bit after Allarfyce’s initial honeymoon period. Everton fans need to be patient with their side tomorrow otherwise West Brom could go and make it two wins on the bounce. 1-1

TN: Two teams trying to be something they aren’t. Everton brought in some interesting players in the summer, but have gone longer under Big Sam, while the Baggies, not known for their sparkling football are trying to play now Pardew is in charge. Back the hosts to win this, it won’t be pretty though. 1-0

DH: Allardyce’s plan to reverse Everton’s recent decline by making them ‘more boring’ will have depressed Blues fans. Pardew’s Baggies will be buoyant after an overdue win last week and can leave Merseyside with a point. 1-1

LEICESTER CITY v WATFORD

NH: Goals aplenty in this. Watford never give up while Leicester, if they get it right, can look very dangerous. Mahrez will be looking to jusifty his £100m price tag but, if he plays, Okazaki might prove the match-winner. 2-1

TN: Two mid-table teams with one win apiece from each of their last five league matches says an awful lot about the quality of the division outside the top five. Home advantage and Vardy and Mahrez working in tandem should be enough to hand the Foxes the points. 2-1

DH: A solid point at Stamford Bridge for the Foxes should instill the confidence for a home win here. Marco Silva’s unpredictable Hornets side effectively stole a point at Southampton and arguably deserve a beating here. 3-1

STOKE CITY v HUDDERSFIELD TOWN

NH: If Huddersfield go and attack, they’ve got a good chance of taking all three points. Stoke didn’t look that bad going forward at Old Trafford but Lambert’s number on goal will be making them much, much tighter at the back. And that doesn’t bode well for a good game. 1-1

TN: Welcome to Stoke, Mr Lambert. If the Potters are going to get themselves out of trouble then they need to beat Huddersfield at home. Stoke’s defensive record is shocking and the visitors will see a way of winning this. Whatever the outcome, it’s likely to be forgettable. 1-0

DH: Paul Lambert’s pedigree at Premier League level is questionable, but the visit of an out-of-form 

Huddersfield side could provide the perfect opposition for a morale-boosting home win. 2-1

WEST HAM UNITED v BOURNEMOUTH

NH: Lanzini and Arnautovic could destroy The Cherries at the London Stadium. An early goal for The Hammers will lead to a few more in a comfortable home win. 3-1

TN: Moyes may well have spent the last week thinking ‘does Antonio Conte know something I don’t?’ after Chelsea were linked with Andy Carroll. The Hammers will move past that, however, with Arnautovic and Lanzini combining to great effect. 2-1

DH: Moyes has the Hammers playing with renewed purpose and deserves much credit for their resurgence. Bournemouth outfought Arsenal last weekend and deserved to win, but may come unstuck here. 2-1

MANCHESTER CITY v NEWCASTLE UNITED

NH: City need to respond from their first defeat of the season at Liverpool and this is the perfect fixture. I’d like Guardiola to be bold and drop the under-performing Aguero and play Sterling up front. City do miss Silva but De Bruyne and Gundogan will pull the strings. 4-0

TN: All is not well at Newcastle if the rumours are to be believed and this fixture won’t lighten Rafa’s mood. Benitez is trying to sign Reina, but playing two goalkeepers at the Etihad might not be enough to prevent a sizeable defeat for the suffering Toon. Rafa to walk after? 4-0

DH: If anything, last weekend’s defeat at Anfield could improve City in the long-term. Guardiola will demand a reaction from his side and his attackers will oblige against a Newcastle side in disarray. 5-1

SOUTHAMPTON v TOTTENHAM

NH: The Saints haven’t moved to spend all that Van Dijk dosh yet. And they need to sharpish because persisting with Long up front won’t get them out of trouble. A visit from Spurs won't help their cause either. 1-4

TN: It seems strange to see the Saints hovering above the drop zone, but Maurico Pochettino won’t have any sympathy as he tries to get Spurs into the top four. Kane, Son and Alli are just too good at the moment and this has ‘away win’ written all over it. 0-3

DH: The Saints were sinned against last weekend and should feel rightly aggrieved by Watford’s handball equaliser. They won’t find former boss Pochettino in charitable mood though. A comfortable Spurs win. 0-2

SWANSEA CITY v LIVERPOOL

NH: Eight days rest from a pulsating performance against City, Liverpool will fancy this. But will this be a case of after the Lord Mayor’s show for Klopp’s side? Salah and Mane will make sure it isn’t. 1-2

TN: Most Liverpool fans would rather face Manchester City at home then go to Swansea, such is the Reds’ habit of messing up the easier looking fixtures. There should be nothing to worry about though with Salah, Mane and Firmino in fine form in-front of a rejuvenated Ox. 1-3

DH: The Reds attackers were outstanding last weekend, pressing high up the pitch and harassing City into errors. Allied with their superb finishing, Liverpool were ruthless and should dismantle the Swans if Mane, Salah and Firmino are on form. 1-3
