Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton have managed to stay unbeaten after matchday four, and all are tied on ten points. West Ham United have also started fairly well but having drawn their last two league games, they drop behind Manchester City and Brighton, who have lost once and won three.

Tottheham Hotspur are also on nine points, their start to the season was ended last weekend at the Selhurst Park, where they were completely outrun by Palace, who scored three without a Tottheham reply.

It's been a mixed start to the season for Leicester City but losing to Manchester City will not be a huge setback, nonetheless the circumstances against West Ham United that saw them lost 4-1 can also be forgiven. For Arsenal, the season started at matchday four, when they earned their first points of the season.

We take a look at this weekend's games and what to expect including prediction of the games.

Newcastle United vs. Leeds United

It's another United Derby and this time at the Saint James' as Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United travel to Tyne to face Newcastle United on Friday night. Both sides will be looking for a first win of the season after a rather poor start.

Newcastle have just one points from their opening four games, while the visitors have two. Leeds United will be more confident heading into the clash having completed the double over their opponent last season.

Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Leeds United

Wolves vs. Brentford

Newly promoted Brentford travel to the Molineux in the early kickoff on Saturday. The host picked up their first win of the season last time out against another newly promoted side, Watford, in a 2-0 win at the Vicarage Road.

Brentford started their premier league campaign with opening day win at Arsenal but that have been followed by two draws and finally their first loss last time out, at home to Brighton.

Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Brentford

Burnley vs. Arsenal

The Gooners have failed to beat Burnley in their last three meetings with Burnley winning once and drawing twice, after Arsenal had won all ten meetings that preceded. Mikel Arteta side also earned their first points of the season last weekend and will look to build on that thereon.

Burnley have also endured a poor start to the season, just a point from opening four games. The positive heading into this clash is their recent record against Arsenal, a poor run which the away side will also be looking to end.

Prediction: Burnley 0-1 Arsenal

Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace

The Reds have always found their bearing in recent meetings with The Eagles winning each of their last nine encounter, including the last three meetings by an aggregate of 13-0. Jürgen Klopp will be looking to make it two league wins on the bounce against a familiar foe.

Patrick Vieira and his Crystal Palace are just getting into the gears this season and their four points so far have come from their last two games, against some of the best sides in the league since the start of last season, West Ham United and Tottenham, which will give the needed confident heading to Anfield.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Crystal Palace

Manchester City vs Southampton

City have won each of their last four home games in all competitions by an aggregate of 21-3 and the last three in the premier league by 15-0. Arsenal, Everton, Norwich and Leipzig have all been their victims.

City also have a superior head to head record over the Saints, winning nine of their last ten meetings. The Saints are yet to win a game this season, but have drawn three times. Their first win is unlikely to come against the defending Champions.

Prediction: Manchester City 4-0 Southampton

Norwich City vs. Watford

It's the battle of the newly promoted as Norwich look for their first points in the Premier league against visiting Watford. The host will be relieved with this fixture having had to play the likes of Manchester City, Leicester City, Liverpool and Arsenal in their opening four games.

Understandably without a point, but will have a point to prove against Watford. Watford have recorded three points earned from their shocking win over Aston Villa on opening day, and they head into this one knowing they have beaten they opponent in each of their last four meetings.

Prediction: Norwich City 1-1 Watford

Aston Villa vs. Everton

High-flying Everton will not be looking to relinquish their position run when they travel to the Villa Park on Saturday evening. Rafa Benitez side will be looking for their third league win in a row.

For Villa, it's been a rough start to the season after falling to a disappointing opening weekend loss to Watford. Four points earned could have been bettered had they utilize their chances in the 3-0 home loss to Chelsea last time out.

With Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia back for this one, they will be looking to return to winning ways in a tough fixture, which they have managed to remain unbeaten in each of the last four.

Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Everton

Brighton vs. Leicester City

Brighton host Leicester City on Sunday in a mouthwatering Premier league clash. The host have won all their league games apart from a 2-0 home loss to Everton. Graham Potter's men however do not have a good record against the Foxes.

Leicester City have won seven of the last nine games against Brighton, drawing twice, a good run which they will be looking to continue and return to winning ways in the league, after their last weekend home loss to defending champions, Manchester City.

Prediction: Brighton 1-2 Leicester City

West Ham United vs. Manchester United

Manchester United will head to the Olympic Stadium hoping to extend their impressive away record to 29 unbeaten. They come up against West Ham United side who had been in good form but slowing down of late.

The Hammers however return to winning ways in the Europe, after two straight draws in the league. Michail Antonio will be missed on Sunday after his red card last weekend, which should give the away side another edge over their host.

Prediction: West Ham United 1-3 Manchester United

Tottheham Hotspur vs. Chelsea

Chelsea have built themselves into a team to beat under Thomas Tuchel and they face a tricky test away at Tottheham Hotspur in a London Derby game at the Tottheham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Chelsea, unbeaten this season have not lost to Tottenham in each of their last five league meetings and for Tottenham, it was a good start to the season before they were beaten last weekend at Palace.

A draw in the Europa league followed. Spurs will be hopeful to have Hueng-Min Son fit for this clash, whilst they also welcome Christian Romero and Giovanni Lo Celso into the team after missing games due to their participation with Argentina, a red-listed country.

Prediction: Tottheham Hotspur 1-2 Chelsea
