Manchester United head to Brentford on Saturday after a chaotic 2\u20131 win over Chelsea earlier in the week, and the Red Devils have a shot of winning back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under Ruben Amorim. The early kick-off comes at a ground where they\u2019ve succumbed to 4\u20130 and 4\u20133 defeats in the recent past. Brentford were beaten 3\u20131 by Fulham last weekend, and Keith Andrews\u2019 Bees are described as not quite as potent as Thomas Frank\u2019s iterations.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea host Brighton &#038; Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge. Bryan Mbeumo has the chance to wreak havoc against his former club, as does Jo\u00e3o Pedro, with Chelsea potentially entering a period of struggle in Cole Palmer\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds United\u2019s 3\u20131 victory at Molineux was their second league win of the season, and they return to Elland Road to face an impressive Bournemouth side. Burnley travel to Manchester City and are expected to rely on defending for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Nottingham Forest begin their Europa League return after a 2\u20132 draw at Real Betis and welcome Sunderland to the City Ground. There were hints of &#8216;Ange-ball&#8217; in Seville, and the new manager will present his ideas to a home crowd for the first time since he succeeded Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo.<\/p>\n<p>Wolverhampton Wanderers remain without a Premier League point but did beat Everton in the week to progress in the Carabao Cup. Wolves meet a Tottenham Hotspur side that have started the season well under Thomas Frank. Wolves have won four of the five previous meetings between the clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa, described as narrow and &#8220;lazy&#8221; in their Europa League win over Bologna, host Fulham, who remain dangerous despite a quiet summer window. Arsenal travel to Newcastle for their first meeting of the 2025\/26 season; the teams met four times last term with Newcastle winning three, and no more than two goals were scored in each game. Anthony Gordon is available again for the hosts.<\/p>\n<p>David Moyes\u2019 Everton face former club West Ham United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium as the wins-and-losses narrative continues.<\/p>\n<p>Predictions<br \/>\n12.30 p.m. BST Brentford vs. Man Utd 1\u20132<br \/>\n3 p.m. BST Chelsea vs. Brighton 1\u20132<br \/>\n3 p.m. BST Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool 1\u20131<br \/>\n3 p.m. BST Leeds vs. Bournemouth 0\u20132<br \/>\n3 p.m. BST Man City vs. Burnley 3\u20130<br \/>\n5.30 p.m. BST Nottingham Forest vs. Sunderland 2\u20131<br \/>\n8 p.m. BST Tottenham vs. Wolves 2\u20131<br \/>\n2 p.m. BST Aston Villa vs. Fulham 1\u20130<br \/>\n4.30 p.m. BST Newcastle vs. Arsenal 1\u20131<br \/>\n8 p.m. BST Everton vs. West Ham (fixture listed)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Predictions for Gameweek 6: key fixtures, form notes and score forecasts across the Premier League..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3119,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1067,1083,969],"tags":[1021,260,319],"class_list":["post-3120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-carabao-cup","category-man-utd","category-premier-league","tag-amorim","tag-bryan-mbeumo","tag-cole-palmer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
