Premier League 2018/19 Gameweek 9: Match previews and predictions

#6. Man City vs. Burnley

Sergio Aguero is in top form at the moment

After the goalless draw against Liverpool last time out, Pep Guardiola's side is currently top of the league with a better goal difference. Good news for Man City is that midfielder Kevin De Bruyne would be back in contention after missing out several games due to a knee injury.

Etihad is a tough place to visit, and it could be a long day for Sean Dyche's Burnley who are currently twelfth in the league with just two wins from the opening eight games. They haven't looked like the side they were last season and have to be at their very best if they want to get something out of the game.

Prediction: Man City 3 - 0 Burnley

#5. Cardiff City vs. Fulham

Neil Warnock is still searching for his first win this campaign

Cardiff City is struggling to adjust to life in the Premier League with no wins and languishing at the bottom of the table. Neil Warnock's side is the bookmakers favourite to go down this season with early signs pointing to that direction only. However, a win would not only give them their first victory of the season but take them on same points with their opponents this weekend.

Another newly promoted side Fulham hasn't lived up to everyone's expectations. Last weekend, Jokanovic's team was thrashed 1-5 by Arsenal at home, and another defeat could put them in the relegation zone.

Prediction: Cardiff 3 - 0 Fulham
