For Arsenal, they are really into it with Pnaic, and now with Leeds unbeaten for the last 5 home games (3W, 2D), the best Arsenal can approach is a tie. Having beaten Leeds 5-0 in the first leg, Leeds are conserving and avoiding another defeat. One point would be a big joy for the hosts.

Brentford has recently experienced losses in their last two matches, both ending with a 2-0 scoreline, including a home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Consequently, Aston Villa will be highly motivated to secure another victory following their recent 2-0 away win against the in-form Newcastle. It is anticipated that Villa Park will be filled with enthusiasm, particularly as Aston Villa reintroduces one of their key midfield players, Douglas Luiz, to bolster their squad in pursuit of the title. I predict a victory for Aston Villa.

Man Utd is now focused on the top 4, and with the mood right now under their new manager, in charge, Michael Carrick, this match would be a big boost for the Reds back at Old Trafford. They would be willing to record their 2nd home win under Carrick after that 2-0 astonishing win over Man City. I pick Man Utd for the 3 points.

Nottingham Forest is set to host Crystal Palace, with Forest being viewed as the clear favorites for this matchup after that 2-0 win over Brentford. However, Crystal Palace is currently facing significant challenges, having gone 11 games without a win (4 draws and 7 losses), which raises concerns about their performance. The team is unlikely to accept another loss or drop in points. Despite the difficulties within the club, Crystal Palace is expected to secure a better outcome in this match. Nottingham Forest hasn’t performed strongly at home recently, losing 3 of their last 5 games (1W, 1D, and 3L). Given these factors, Crystal Palace is being considered a strong candidate to claim the 3 points in this encounter.

After Arsenal lost to Man Utd at the Emirates last Sunday, Sunderland remains the only EPL team this season yet to lose a single match at home. After that 3-1 defeat to West Ham, I believe they will be back strong against struggling Burnley, who beat them 2-0 in the reverse fixture. I think I will consider it a win for Sunderland.

At the time of tipping, Mbappe and Harry Kane are favorites, having scored 5 and 4 respectively. But Ousmane Dembele has scored 1, and that was in their 7-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen, coming on in the 63rd minute and scoring 3 minutes later. I think the defending Ballon d'Or winner might get lucky again, and PSG is expected to defend for the Champions League. They will go into a milestone. Ousmane Dembele hopefully will be there to carry the mantle. I pick him to top the scoresheet.
