Everton don't score many goals, but they are hard to beat at home. They don't concede many goals. Fulham are struggling away from home, where they are winless with just a point. They got a good win over Wolves at home last week, but in what could be a close game, Everton should just have enough to win it.

Spurs have been poor at home compared to their away form. They've got a 1-1-3 record here, scoring 5 and conceding 5. They have been a little inconsistent recently. Unlike United, they have midweek European games to contend with and played on Tuesday. They won't be as fresh, but they will be confident after what was a good result. United have been playing much better recently, and their confidence and morale are growing. They were held to a draw last week by Forest, and their away form isn't great, 1-1-2. That said, their recent run should be enough to get them a decent point here.

Man Utd have hit a decent run of form. The signing of a keeper that can do his job has worked wonders, spreading confidence throughout the team. Forest have been poor so far, especially by the standards they set last season. Duche's arrival could spark them into scoring here, but I can't see them keeping an in-form United attack out.

Liverpool are clear favourites for obvious reasons here, but this fixture is still one of those massive encounters where form can go out of the window. Man Utd have struggled so far. They beat Sunderland in their last game, but their away form has been poor. That said, they will come here looking to frustrate Liverpool, which they can do to teams as it's a tactic they can do well. Liverpool don't like having to break teams down, and they haven't quite hit their best yet. Form-wise, they've lost their last 3 games, granted all away from home. They'll certainly welcome a return back home, but they've got to be careful not to get frustrated and caught on the counter. Could end up being close, this.

Both these sides are going well. Palace lost at Everton last time out, but that was their first defeat of the season, and they beat Liverpool in their last game here. Bournemouth haven't been as busy as Palace without European football. They have been hard to beat, having not lost in the league since the opening day. They will be a threat here and at least score. Both scoring looks likely to me.

Everton have been decent so far, although they will be without Grealish, and they don't score many goals. I can't see them being a huge threat today, and despite Man City still being vulnerable at the back, the hosts should cope with what Everton throw at them. City have been going well, unbeaten in 7, and Haaland has been on fire so far. While he's in this form, they should be beating Everton by 2 goals at least.
