In the spirit of generosity, a Dream Team insider reveals his tips for this week’s five Score Predictor fixtures…

TOTTENHAM v MANCHESTER UNITED

Erik ten Hag’s were fortunate to beat Wolves at the Old Trafford in Matchweek 1 as the visitors’ wasteful finishing once again undermined their impressive build-up play.

If the Red Devils produce a similar performance in north London on Saturday and leave acres of space in midfield, the likes of James Maddison, Son Heung-min and Richarlison will surely punish them.

Spurs played out an entertaining 2-2 draw against Brentford last weekend and showed a promising endeavour in attack but a slight fragility at the back.

This one all depends on whether or not the lacklustre display against Wolves acts as a wake-up call for Man United.

MY PREDICTION: 2-1 to Tottenham

MANCHESTER CITY v NEWCASTLE

DREAM TEAMDare you take on Man City?[/caption]

“Thank you so much to the Premier League for letting us play on Saturday and not Sunday or Monday…”

Those the sarcastic words of Pep Guardiola after his side’s UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla on Wednesday night.

With the treble-winners evidently disrupted, this may be the best possible time to visit the Etihad (a daunting task nonetheless) and Eddie Howe’s men will be full of confidence after an emphatic victory over Aston Villa.

The Magpies are super fit and will pounce on any lethargy among City’s troops but let’s not forget the calibre of the home side’s ranks.

MY PREDICTION: 1-1 draw

ASTON VILLA v EVERTON

Villa need a response this weekendREX

Unai Emery’s side had a shocker at St James’ Park and they certainly need to rethink their extremely high defensive line.

The Toffees created plenty of chances against Fulham but were undone by poor finishing and some excellent saves from Bernd Leno.

Personally, I’m more inclined to take last season into account for this one as the home side were mightily impressive after their change of head coach while Everton narrowly escaped relegation.

I’d be more torn if Goodison Park was the venue but as it is…

MY PREDICTION: 2-0 to Aston Villa

WEST HAM v CHELSEA

A formidable duoGETTY

Without Declan Rice performing three jobs at once, the Hammers came away from Bournemouth with a point last weekend but it’s worth noting the Cherries had more possession, more corners and more shots on target.

The London Stadium faithful have largely been unimpressed with their club’s transfer activity this summer whereas their opponents have splashed the cash on a squad refresh (again).

Ben Chilwell and Reece James will be difficult for hosts to contain out wide while the prospect of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez in the middle could highlight the impact of Rice’s absence for David Moyes.

MY PREDICTION: 2-0 to Chelsea

CRYSTAL PALACE v ARSENAL

Arsenal’s firepower is undeniableGETTY

The Eagles deserved more than a 1-0 win over Sheffield United last week but they face a significantly tougher opponent in Matchweek 2.

It’s hard to look past the Gunners in this one as even without Gabriel Jesus they have several potent goal threats.

However, I do fancy the home side to score against an Arsenal outfit still tinkering with their defence – Eberechi Eze makes things happen.

MY PREDICTION 3-1 to ARSENAL

Think you know better? You’re almost certainly correct!
