Round 9 has five matches from the Premier League and one from the Championship.

Huddersfield Town v Leicester City

Huddersfield Town started the season with a bang, winning their first couple of games. They must have thought the Premier League was going to be a breeze. After suffering their first defeat away at West Ham on Monday night though, it will be interesting to see how they bounce back. The Terriers looked sluggish, and will hope to do better here.

Former Premier League Champions Leicester City have had a poor start, having won just one of their opening 4 league games. Though their fixtures have been tough, they would have expected a few more points on the board. Kelechi Iheanacho will hope to receive a full debut, as he is yet to start for the Foxes.

Key stats to consider

• Leicester City have failed to win 21 of their last 23 away matches in the Premier League
• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Huddersfield‘s last 3 games in the Premier League
• Huddersfield have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against Leicester in all competitions

Leicester will be desperate for points to move away from the bottom of the table, but it won’t be easy as Huddersfield will fight until the very last whistle.

Prediction: Huddersfield Town 1-1 Leicester City

Liverpool v Burnley

We will all be waiting for 2pm on Saturday when the official team sheet will be released. The big question is, will Philippe Coutinho make his first start of the season for the Reds? After Sadio Mane’s controversial red card last week, the Brazilian is very likely to come in, meaning they should still be extremely dangerous going forward. Liverpool look shaky at the back though, and a clean sheet would be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Burnley have started well, and actually sit above Liverpool on goal difference. Record signing Chris Wood has hit the ground running, scoring in consecutive Premier League games against Spurs and Crystal Palace. Losing their goalkeeper Tom Heaton to a dislocated shoulder is a huge blow however, and his replacement Nick Pope is expected to be very busy on Saturday afternoon.

Key stats to consider

• Liverpool are undefeated in 27 of their last 29 home matches in the Premier League
• Burnley have failed to win 19 of their last 21 away matches in the Premier League
• Liverpool have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Burnley in all competitions

Stats courtesy of WhoScored.com

Liverpool need a solid win, and they should get it.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Burnley

Newcastle United v Stoke City

After much negativity surrounding the club after the first 2 games of the season, Newcastle have completely turned it around. There is now a positive feeling on Tyneside, and having manager Rafa Benitez back in the dugout after illness will be a huge boost. After grinding out an impressive win at Swansea last time out, the Magpies will feel they can take the game to Stoke. Also, look out for striker Joselu, who will be after a goal against the club he left in the summer.

Considering their fixtures, Stoke City have started the season very well. A hard fought 2-2 draw against Manchester United last week really sums up their spirit. Impressive additions such as Jese and Choupo-Moting make the Potters dangerous going forward. They may be without some key defenders though, which could be crucial.

Key stats to consider

• Newcastle have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 matches against Stoke in all competitions
• Stoke have failed to win 9 of their last 10 away matches in the Premier League
• Newcastle are undefeated in their last 5 home matches against Stoke in all competitions

Stats courtesy of WhoScored.com

Newcastle have looked solid in defence recently, and I fancy them to nick a low scoring win here.

Prediction: Newcastle United 1-0 Stoke City

Watford v Manchester City

The Hornets have looked good under their new leader Marco Silva, and they will hope to finally get some stability. Chopping and changing the manager every season becomes tiring, but it looks like they may have finally found the right man. Last time out they went to Southampton and won comfortably, which bodes well for their toughest test of the season so far.

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side look excellent and the options they have for every position is simply scary. It doesn’t matter which players Pep decides to rest, the man coming in will not make the team weaker. After stuffing Feyenoord in the Champions League through the week, it is tough to see City coming unstuck here.

Key stats to consider

• Man City have won their last 6 matches against Watford in all competitions
• Man City have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 10 away matches in the Premier League
• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Man City‘s last 7 away games in the Premier League

Stats courtesy of WhoScored.com

Manchester City should prove to be just too good.

Prediction: Watford 1-3 Manchester City

West Bromwich Albion v West Ham United

West Brom are coming off a shock 3-1 defeat away at Brighton last week. Conceding 3 goals, particularly to a newly promoted side is very unlike the Baggies, who are well known for their defensive solidity. They still sit in the top 10 though, and will fancy their chances here considering how good they are at home.

West Ham finally got their first points of the season on Monday and they’ll hope to take that confidence into this one. Andy Carroll is back in the team and he should have a fascinating aerial battle with the rugged West Brom centre backs. Arnautovic, Lanzini and Noble being missing may be a problem though.

Key stats to consider

• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of West Ham‘s last 9 away games in the Premier League
• West Ham have been losing at both half time and full time in their last 3 away matches in the Premier League
• West Brom have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 4 home matches against West Ham in all competitions

Stats courtesy of WhoScored.com

West Ham will give it a good go, but the Baggies should be a lot more solid this week.

Prediction: West Bromwich Albion 2-1 West Ham United

Middlesbrough v Queens Park Rangers

Middlesbrough have had a mixed start under new manager Garry Monk, having won 3, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their opening 7 Championship games. Boro will feel hard done by with Adama Traore’s red card against Aston Villa, which means they will now be without the pacy winger for 3 games. Their defensive record has been okay, and they’ll hope to keep a clean sheet here.

QPR have an identical record in the league so far, which makes this contest very intriguing. It’s fair to say that not many expected Rangers to do well this season, but Ian Holloway has made a career out of proving people wrong. The R’s have been good going forward, but if they want to take any points back to London they will need to be better defensively.

Key stats to consider

• QPR have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Middlesbrough in all competitions

Stats courtesy of WhoScored.com

As Middlesbrough are stronger at the back now, I fancy them to claim the 3 points by a narrow margin.

Prediction: Middlesbrough 1-0 QPR
