Sunday's Premier League 2pm predictions

Brighton v Bournemouth predictions

Brighton suffered a surprise 3-2 home defeat to AEK Athens on their Europa League debut on Thursday and the classy Seagulls may be worth opposing in the Premier League this weekend.

They were unfortunate to lose to AEK although both of their goals were Joao Pedro penalties and they had seven shots on target to their visitors' six.

Brighton's plans for their first foray into European football were disrupted by the late withdrawals of Lewis Dunk and Evan Ferguson, key figures at either end of the pitch, and Bournemouth are equipped to exploit any fatigue in the home camp.

The Cherries' early-season injury crisis has eased and David Brooks, Justin Kluivert and Luis Sinisterra were the attacking substitutes used by Andoni Iraola in last weekend's 0-0 draw with Chelsea.

That was Bournemouth's third draw in five league games under Iraola, having also taken a point off West Ham and Brentford, and the stalemate looks a big price on Sunday.

Brighton v Bournemouth team news

Brighton: Lewis Dunk and Evan Ferguson will be assessed after missing Thursday's Europa League defeat to AEK Athens. Pascal Gross and James Milner are doubts and Julio Enciso and Jakub Moder remain sidelined with knee injuries.
Bournemouth: The Cherries are still missing summer signings Alex Scott and Tyler Adams as well as Emiliano Marcondes and Ryan Fredericks.

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Steele; Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, Estupinan; Gilmour, Dahoud; Adingra, Lallana, Mitoma; Welbeck

Chelsea v Aston Villa predictions

Out-of-form Chelsea look far too short at home to Aston Villa, who can shrug off their Europa Conference League loss at Legia Warsaw.

Unai Emery made five key changes in Poland, selections that have amply clarified that right now players such as Calum Chambers, Clement Lenglet and Youri Tielemans need to be on the bench rather than on the pitch.

Back at full strength at Stamford Bridge, Villa can illustrate why they are in Europe in the first place – and Chelsea aren't – and bag a win.

Chelsea are odds-on, which is a struggle to justify given their rocky stats and rockier performances.

Raheem Sterling is virtually carrying Chelsea in the final third and failing to find the net against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth is the sign of a team all at sea.

Injuries are an issue for Mauricio Pochettino, who can't pick anything like his strongest team and is struggling to impose his ideas on those he can select.

The Thursday-Sunday fixture schedule may well prove tough for Villa to cope with over the autumn but for now they look worth backing.

Chelsea v Aston Villa team news

Chelsea: Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Nony Madueke and Armando Broja have returned to training but Benoit Badiashile, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Trevor Chalobah, Romeo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka and Christopher Nkunku are still out. 
Aston Villa: Centre-backs Tyrone Mings and Diego Carlos remain out. Emi Buendia remains a long-term injury. Players omitted by Unai Emery at Legia can expect a recall. 

Chelsea v Aston Villa predicted line-ups

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Disasi, Silva, Chilwell; Palmer, Fernandez, Ugochukwu; Sterling, Jackson, Mudryk
Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Luiz; McGinn, Diaby, Bailey; Watkins 

Best bet for Chelsea v Aston Villa:

Aston Villa draw no bet

Liverpool v West Ham predictions

Liverpool extended their winning sequence to five with a 3-1 victory away to LASK on Europa League matchday one and their superb start to the season can continue with a home win over West Ham.

It is too early to determine whether Liverpool are ready to lay down a genuine title challenge but the early signs have been positive.

Jurgen Klopp's side are scoring plenty of goals and they defended well enough without Virgil van Dijk, who has completed a two-game ban.

West Ham are potentially stubborn opponents with a desire to build on their strong start to the season, although their limitations were exposed when they lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City last weekend.

David Moyes's side are used to soaking up pressure but they have allowed an average of 20.2 shots per game and might struggle to cope with the in-form Reds, who are unbeaten in 16 Premier League games.

Liverpool v West Ham team news

Liverpool: Thiago Alcantara (groin) misses out and Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) is a doubt.
West Ham: Jarrod Bowen (illness) will need to be assessed and Aaron Cresswell (thigh) is sidelined.

Liverpool v West Ham predicted line-ups

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Gomez, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Soucek, Alvarez; Bowen, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta; Antonio.

Best bet for Liverpool v West Ham:

Liverpool and under 4.5 goals
