Premier League predictions: Liverpool vs Arsenal, Chelsea vs Man Utd and the rest of GW9

Halloween frames gameweek nine, with eight of the 10 fixtures on 31 October. After Arsenal’s midweek shootout exit at Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup, attention turns to predictions led by Liverpool vs Arsenal and Chelsea vs Manchester United.

According to NY Times, a rotating expert calls results and scorelines each week, alongside a subscriber voice. This time Lewis, 24, an Everton fan in Oxford, spotlights Newcastle United vs Everton.

Lewis fancies an away win with Jordan Pickford starring, but the expert leans Newcastle, 2-1. Chelsea are tipped to bounce back, facing a United side winless in eight, with a 3-0 home win expected. Bournemouth are backed to beat Leeds United 2-1.

Coventry City’s revival points to a 1-1 draw with bottom side Sunderland, winless since August. Expect goals at Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion, the xG pace-setters, with City fancied 3-2. Hull City vs Ipswich Town is called a 1-1 draw.

Brentford’s home strength supports a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Tottenham Hotspur should find joy against Crystal Palace’s leakiest defence, also 2-0. Aston Villa are tipped to see off Alvaro Arbeloa’s revived Fulham 2-0 at Villa Park.

Sunday’s only league game is Liverpool vs Arsenal. The champions’ Fleetwood upset and Bukayo Saka’s thigh problem temper expectations, and Liverpool’s front three could punish any slip. This could be where Andoni Iraola’s home side show title credentials.
