Premier League predictions: Arsenal vs Chelsea, Everton vs Manchester United and the rest of GW3 | OneFootball

With the transfer window shut, focus returns to the pitch and Gameweek 3 predictions led by Arsenal vs Chelsea. Early turbulence, plus late moves for Enzo Fernandez and Bradley Barcola, gives way to a steadier rhythm. Readers have resumed where they left off.

According to NY Times, a rotating guest now fronts the picks, with Jay, a 40-year-old Arsenal fan from Bristol, taking this week’s slate. After two rounds, readers lead on 50%, ahead of Wilfred on 45%, the experts on 40% and the algorithm on 35%.

Arsenal vs Chelsea: Oliver Kay has a nagging hunch Chelsea could get something, yet notes they have not beaten Arsenal since September 2021, an 11-game run. He plays safe, home win 2-1. Jay, citing Arsenal’s defence and recent wins over Manchester City in the Community Shield and Coventry, also backs the hosts.

Elsewhere, Ipswich vs Liverpool is 2-2, with Bradley Barcola adding spark but familiar flaws lingering. Newcastle vs Bournemouth is another 2-2. Brentford are tipped to beat Sunderland 1-0, and Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham is 1-1, with patience urged over Liam Delap.

Manchester City are taken to beat Coventry 4-0, Erling Haaland again fancied for goals. Fulham vs Crystal Palace is 1-1, with a third straight defeat potentially putting Alvaro Arbeloa or Pierre Sage under strain. Brighton are picked to edge Leeds 2-1.

Hull vs Aston Villa goes to the visitors, 2-1. Everton vs Manchester United is 0-2, with Everton lighter up front after selling Beto to Fiorentina, missing out on Folarin Balogun on deadline day and also moving Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City.
