Top 5 predictions for GW 6 of the Premier League

#3 Harry Kane to shine in crucial north London derby

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur - Carabao Cup Third Round

Gameweek six of the Premier League will see north London clubs - Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur - go up against each other at the Emirates. As of now, Spurs sit three points ahead of the Gunners in the league table. However, the Lilywhites’ recent form is a cause for concern.

Tottenham have not won any of their last four matches in regular time, registering their only win against Wolves on penalties in the EFL Cup. Their last two Premier League matches ended in 3-0 defeats, against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, respectively.

Their talisman Harry Kane has also been way below his usual sky-high standards. However, his goal against Wolves in the EFL Cup has released some of the pressure. We expect Kane to be in rather impressive shape against Arsenal on Sunday. He could be the catalyst Tottenham need to end their four-game winless run this weekend.

#2 Manchester United to punish Aston Villa at home

West Ham United v Manchester United - Premier League

Manchester United were defeated 1-0 at home by West Ham United in the third round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday. The second-string United side could not keep the revenge-seeking West Ham outfit at bay and ultimately crashed out of the knockout tournament. The defeat marked United’s second defeat in three games across all competitions, which is alarming, to say the least.

Manchester United are now set to play Aston Villa in their own backyard on Saturday. All first-choice players are set to return to the fold, which should help United return to winning ways. After Wednesday’s result at Old Trafford, United will not be satisfied with a narrow win. They will come at 10th-placed Villa with everything they have and are likely to get a comfortable win at home.

#1 Chelsea to edge Manchester City at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea v Aston Villa - Carabao Cup Third Round

Defending Premier League champions will make the trip to Stamford Bridge this Saturday, marking the rematch of last season’s Champions League final. Manchester City and Chelsea are arguably the two strongest teams in the division and should present us with an unpredictable affair.

Both Pep Guardiola and Thomas Tuchel have managed their respective squads brilliantly and have only conceded once in their opening five Premier League matches. Manchester City will face Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool back-to-back after taking on Chelsea, which could force Guardiola to be a bit more experimental with his team.

Chelsea are currently at the top of the Premier League and have not been bested by any team in Europe. At home, the Blues are even stronger, scoring six goals without reply in their last two games.

On their day, City can beat any team in the world. However, given their tight schedule and injury worries, we cannot help but give Chelsea the advantage. A narrow victory seems to be on the card for Tuchel’s European champions.
