Premier League Preview: Matchday one Score predictions and more

Fulham vs Arsenal

The 2020/2021 English Premier League season kicks off with newly promoted Fulham battling Arsenal. Despite spending a fortune last time out they were promoted to the top-flight, Fulham find themselves back at Championship at the end of the season and this time around they will look to do it right and last in the Premier League more than their last time.


Arsenal on the other hand are brimming with confidence following their FA Cup and Community Shield success and have bolster the lacking areas of the squad, having finished at eight place, their worst in decades. The objective this season will be to put themself where they are supposed to be.
Fulham will pose a great threat to The Gunners but on the long run, Arteta's men should come out victorious.

Score prediction: 0-2

Crystal Palace vs Southampton

A midtable fixture between both side. Crystal Palace were able to keep their star man in Wilfried Zaha and will look forward to his partnership with Ayew help see them through the season again while for Southampton, the focus will be on Danny Ings and whether he can replicate the season he had last term and propel the team to another succesful campaign.

Southampton lost key midfielder in Højbjerg and will be looking at some other options to fill in his shoe, having finish in 14th and 11th place respectively last season, this should be an interesting game and may end with both teams sharing the spoilt.

Score prediction: 1-1

Liverpool vs Leeds United

The glory of Jürgen Klopp's men in all its nature at the Anfield. Its the battle of the Premier League champions against Championship winners.


Liverpool welcome Marcelo Bielsa and his men as they continue their quest to defend the league title. Bielsa is a repected figure in the game and what he has done with Leeds is remarkable, bolstered the team with some key signings like Rodrigo Moreno and his midfielders are always a pleasure to see but coming against the defending champions at Anfield is really not the great way to start off their campagin, The Reds might not have made a key signing during this transfer window but they are still the force to reckon with.

Score Prediction: 3-1

Westham United vs Newcastle United

The Hammers will welcome Newcastle to the London Stadium, finishing 16th last season, the hammers barely survive relegation due to last minutes Michail Antonio heroics along with his teammates resolution but they will need much more to keep their place in the premier league this season and a victory against Newcastle United at home is the best way to start.

Newcastle finishee 13th last season and have bolstered their squad with the arrival of Bournemouth duo Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser coupled with the amazing talent in the team the like of Alan Saint-Maximan, Miguel Almiron and others, they may be set for a better finish than last season. Will be a close contest but Newcastle perhaps might have an edge.

Score prediction: 1-2

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Disappointing campaign for both side last season that see both side finish 6th and 12th respectively will be something to forget heading into the new season. Mourinho's Tottenham did not really make any great signing but they have gotten Doherty and Højbjerg who can get the job done and give their all.

For Everton, they have made a big statement with their summer business with the acquisition of James Rodriguez, Allan and Abdoulaye Doucouré but the defense still remain unsolved especially the right side of the defense.

Another close fixtures between both side with Spurs believed to edge their opponent.

Score Prediction: 2-1

Brighton vs Chelsea

The obvious fixture fans worldwide is waiting for in the game week one. A totally different Chelsea team against Brighton, who finished 15th last season.



Lampard has done a remarkable job with Chelsea despite the cirumstances and will be looking to build on it with a much proper squad this term. Starting against a less threatening opposition in Brighton is good for experimenting the team. Chelsea should easily see Brighton off in this case.

Score Prediction: 0-3


Westbrom vs Leicester

West Brom spent a season at Championship and gains promotion back to the topflight and for Leicester, what a season they had last season despite going off-track post corona break, they were definitely the most consistent team in the league after Liverpool last season and missed out sadly on the top four race in the last game of the season.

Leicester will be without the injured James Maddison but should still be able to get the job done with hope on veteran and last season top scorer Jamie Vardy.

Score Prediction: 0-2

Sheffield United vs Wolves

Despite finishing 9th last season, what a season Chris Wilder's boys had off from promotion and finishing in the top 10 of the top-flight. For Wolves, just like they have done since gaining promotion, Nuno Espirito Santo's side keep surprising everyone with their unique style of play.

This will be an evenly contested clash between both surprising club from last season and both club have bolster thier squad with few players in key areas.

Score Prediction: 1-2
