Premier League Matchday 3 gets underway this weekend. Sky Sports pundit Lewis Jones predicts Arsenal will beat Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur will lose away to Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Manchester United will draw in their respective away matches, and Manchester City will win comfortably at home against Coventry.

Ipswich 2-2 Liverpool

Liverpool have plenty of talented players, but they appear not yet to have adapted to the tactical system favoured by Slot. Last Saturday, Nottingham Forest created 2.3 xG at Anfield, which is quite high. On the other hand, The Reds have gone six Premier League matches in a row without a win.

Ipswich left-back Leif Davis is worth monitoring. He plays almost like a left winger, scoring against Manchester United and carrying on his impressive pre-season form. His ability to provide assists is also noteworthy. Score prediction: Ipswich 2-2 Liverpool.

Newcastle United 2-2 Bournemouth

This match could be very entertaining, as both managers favour a quick, direct style of play. Elanga has shown a completely different style under Howe's guidance, with tremendous confidence. Since finding his rhythm, he could become an important asset for the team, as evidenced by his goals against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Prediction: Elanga scores, and Newcastle United draw 2-2 with Bournemouth.

Brentford 3-0 Sunderland

Brentford have been among the Premier League's best performers in the first two rounds. Their victory over Tottenham Hotspur and their draw against Leeds United give us reason to believe that The Bees' overall standard has improved since last season, a development that was very evident in the first 60 minutes against Leeds United.

Sunderland are in a much tougher situation, especially when playing away. Since the start of last season, their expected goal difference per 90 minutes is -0.8, a figure worse than that of the relegated West Ham United and Wolves. Score prediction: Brentford 3-0 Sunderland.

Brighton 1-1 Leeds United

Brighton have several key players sidelined through injury. Since Farke switched to a three-at-the-back formation in December, Leeds United's away defence has been very cautious, adopting a highly conservative first-half approach with limited goalscoring. Five of their last six away matches have been 0-0 at half-time. I predict 0-0 at half-time and a full-time score of 1-1.

Fulham 1-1 Crystal Palace

This is an important match for both managers, both of whom are hoping to use it to get their seasons back on track. Crystal Palace have lost the defensive solidity that brought them success under Glasner, and their offensive improvements have yet to materialize consistently. Fulham fans are already frustrated with Arbeloa, as they played fearfully against Sunderland and ultimately lost that match. Score prediction: Fulham 1-1 Crystal Palace.

Manchester City 3-0 Coventry

Under Guardiola, Manchester City are very consistent in this type of fixture, typically dispatching promoted teams with ease.

Since the start of last season, Savinho averages 0.45 assists per 90 minutes, a figure even higher than Bruno Fernandes. I predict Manchester City will win 3-0 against Coventry, with Savinho providing an assist.

Nottingham Forest 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur fans must be under enormous pressure. Seriously, they spent heavily on transfers this summer, yet their results remain very poor. Although Tottenham were more competitive against Newcastle United last weekend, they conceded very easily, and the players still appear haunted by past failures.

Tottenham Hotspur have undergone major tactical and personnel changes, while Forest have more continuity and are beginning to show Glasner's style. Their performance at Anfield resembled a Glasner team: no dominance in possession, but well-organised, solid and reliable in defence, and when they do attack, it's almost like five forwards, with the wing-backs constantly pressing forward.

It is widely believed that Gibbs-White will improve under manager Glasner, and he has already scored his first goal of the season at Anfield. In his last four matches against Tottenham Hotspur, Gibbs-White has had at least one shot on target, averaging 1.05 shots per match since the start of last season. Combined with his shooting efficiency and Forest's home record, a home victory is a good bet. Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur.

Hull City 0-2 Aston Villa

Hull City have won their first two matches of the season and have not conceded a goal so far this campaign. Of course, in both matches, Hull City have been at a disadvantage in terms of expected goals, and some things will not remain the same forever. From a data analytics perspective, there is still a strong possibility that the Tigers will hit a rough patch in their performance, possibly starting with this match. I expect Emery to once again have Aston Villa play very sharp, attacking football. September is Emery's favourite month, with a Premier League record of just one defeat in 18 matches and 11 victories in September.

Emery has also never lost to a promoted Premier League side, winning 15 of 21 matches, and scoring 23 goals in their last 9 away matches against promoted teams. Score prediction: Hull City 0-2 Aston Villa.

Everton 1-1 Manchester United

The transfer deadline was a day Everton would rather forget, as they failed to complete their target deal. Although their squad is weaker, Everton's starting XI might actually be stronger than market expectations.

And playing at home against Manchester United might be exactly what they need right now. This tactical approach, which focuses primarily on tight defensive organisation, is what David Moyes has always favoured—fans will support this pragmatic approach to securing a result. Remember, Everton fans are targeting the club's management, not the players or Moyes himself.

Ipswich performed well against Manchester United in the previous round until Harry Maguire's controversial goal, after which Carrick's team were able to move smoothly and fully exploit the space available. Everton, on the other hand, are an almost completely different opponent, and they will make this very difficult. Score prediction: Everton 1-1 Manchester United.

Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea

Is the betting market currently giving Arsenal enough respect? Arsenal will make this a classic Gunners performance—controlling transitions, defending with extreme organisation, and taking their chances to score. They are confident they can contain Chelsea's three attacking threats, and although The Blues' three forwards have performed very well, they cannot yet be called a team with genuine title-winning potential. The fact that Chelsea have conceded in 18 consecutive Premier League matches speaks volumes. In their last 18 Premier League matches, Arsenal have kept 10 clean sheets, a very impressive record.

Furthermore, Arsenal's home defence is also very solid, recording 11 clean sheets in their last 14 home matches and conceding only 3 goals in their last 13 home matches across all competitions.

There is no need to overcomplicate things here. I predict Arsenal will win by no more than 3 goals, a result that has occurred in 10 of their last 14 matches at the Emirates Stadium. Score prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea.
