The latest rounds of EPL fixtures await and beware the dreaded Champions League hangover.
Crystal Palace v West Bromwich Albion
A terrible loss for West Brom against Everton, who in the space of 30 minutes went from a projected 7th in the league to 15th, will motivate the Baggies and they will be keen to put things right. However, a visit to Palace with their pace and power up front is not the best place to go and do so.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2 West Brom 0
Star Performer: Scott Dann (Defender)

Aston Villa v Stoke City
Stoke will come into this game confident after their first win of the season. Villa are frail and lacking confidence. We take Stoke to dominate.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1 Stoke City 3
Star Performer: John Walters (Forward)
AFC Bournemouth v Watford
Poor Bournemouth! The loss of Callum Wilson, for what seems to be the remainder of the season, is devastating, especially so when added to the injuries to key signings Tyrone Mings and Max Gradel. It could result in their relegation, but for now they will scrap it out with Watford and share the spoils.
Prediction: AFC Bournemouth 1 Watford 1
Star Performer: Craig Cathcart (Defender)
Manchester City v Newcastle Utd
Newcastle performed better last week but away from home we do not trust them, especially against a Manchester City side laden with attacking threat. This could be embarrassing for the Toon.
Prediction: Man City 4 Newcastle 0
Star Performer: Kevin De Bruyne (Midfield)
Norwich City v Leicester City
This should be a lively game with attacking flare in abundance. Leicester will recover from their first set back to maintain their unbeaten record away from home.
Prediction: Norwich 2 Leicester City 2
Star Performer: Jaime Vardy (Forward)
Sunderland AFC v West Ham United
When you concede 16 goals in just 7 matches it is a recipe for disaster. West Ham have beaten Arsenal, Liverpool & Manchester City away from home so far. Sunderland can expect to be added to the list.
Prediction: Sunderland 1 West Ham 3
Star Performer: Dmitri Payet (Midfield)
Chelsea v Southampton
The Champions League defeat at Porto adds to the woes at Chelsea so far this season and something is clearly amiss, whether in the dressing room or in terms of the relationship between the manager/captain and or the owner. Something has to give eventually, and you heard it here first. It will not be the owner that leaves the Club but one of the other two might be on their way in the not too distant future. Southampton are resolute defensively and capable of snatching a goal. We predict that Chelsea's problems will increase.
Prediction: Chelsea 1 Southampton 1
Star Performer: Jose Fonte (Defender)
