Jeff Stelling is on hand with his Soccer Saturday Super 6 predictions as the Premier League action returns following the international break.
With five top-flight games at 3pm, the Sky Bet Championship clash between Brighton and Hull completes the line-up, with both sides looking to maintain their impressive starts.
Here's the most popular predictions so far from Super 6 entrants and Jeff's analysis...
Punters predict: 36% say Arsenal 2-0 Stoke
"It's obvious why so many have gone for Arsenal, but just a word of warning, Arsene Wenger's men haven't scored in five of their last six Premier League home games. You wonder whether it's a blip or a case of them being found out. Stoke are riddled with suspensions but I don't think that will affect them that much. They'll sit and try and kill the game and have drawn both of their away games this season. However, the killer stat is Arsenal have won their last 13 contests with the Potters at the Emirates and, while it might be tighter than many expect, I'm backing them to make it 14."
Jeff predicts: Arsenal 1-0 Stoke
Punters predict: 29% say Crystal Palace 1-2 Manchester City
"A couple of weeks ago I suggested that Palace could be a coupon buster at Chelsea, although I wasn't quite brave enough to back them to win and went for the draw. This is Palace's best ever Premier League start and Alan Pardew has put together a fantastic side. They have got weaknesses though, with no clean sheets this season, so it seems inevitable that City will score. Pellegrini's side don't do goalless draws - 55 Prem games and counting. I can't get away from Palace as they have so much attacking threat and think it will be one of City's toughest games of the season."
Jeff predicts: Crystal Palace 2-2 Manchester City
Punters predict: 34% say Norwich 1-1 Bournemouth
"I'm just a bit concerned for Norwich at the moment. They look good going forward but conceding three against Palace and Southampton must be concern, especially against a Bournemouth side that have plenty of attacking strength in depth. I think Glenn Murray is a really good acquisition and this side is almost better suited away, with 13 wins last season. If it had been a Championship game then I'd have gone with Bournemouth and the Cherries have strengthened the better of the two sides."
Jeff predicts: Norwich 1-2 Bournemouth
Punters predict: 28% say Watford 1-2 Swansea
"I'm going with those who fancy Swansea but on the basis that Watford have been struggling so much in front of goal. No shots on target in two games and no goals in six hours is a real issue for them. To their credit they've been solid in defence but Swansea look in a completely different league. Gomis scoring in four in a row means he could join an elite club by making it five and if you see him live you get a real impression of what a physical threat he is - he's like the Incredible Hulk."
Jeff predicts: Watford 0-2 Swansea
Punters predict: 27 per cent say West Brom 1-1 Southampton
"It's been a difficult couple of weeks at West Brom with the Berahino saga but I like Jonny Evans and they have plenty of quality. Rondon looks like he's got goals from first impressions. Saints fans were panicking a little bit before that Norwich win and they do look little lightweight in midfield, with Clasie still not fit. It's a big step up from Scotland for Virgil van Dijk but judging by how many clubs that were following him the quality is there. However, it's no away wins since February for Southampton and I'm backing that run to be extended."
Jeff predicts: West Brom 1-1 Southampton
Punters predict: 20 per cent say Brighton 1-1 Hull
"Brighton have surprised so many people but they've scored just three times in their last seven home games. Hull don't concede many either, none in the first half of a game this season, so I'm going for a draw as I just don't see any goals."
Jeff predicts: Brighton 0-0 Hull
