The Premier League returns this weekend following the first international break of the season.

The action begins on Saturday afternoon with title challengers Arsenal facing Nottingham Forest in Ange Postecoglou’s first game in charge of the visitors.

Later in the day Wolves will look to pick up their first points of the season at Newcastle United, while there are London derbies between West Ham and Tottenham and Brentford and Chelsea.

Premier League champions Liverpool travel to newly-promoted Burnley on Sunday before an intriguing Manchester derby between City and United.

As even, England legend and Betway ambassador Alan Shearer has revealed his prediction for each and every Premier League game to Metro.

Arsenal v Nottingham Forest

What a first game for Ange Postecoglou. Incredibly tough. It’s a tough one to call but I think Arsenal will just have enough to take the points. 

Prediction: Arsenal win

Bournemouth v Brighton

Home win for Bournemouth. It’s a tough one to call and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a draw but I’ll go for a home win.

Prediction: Bournemouth win

Crystal Palace v Sunderland

Sunderland have had a great start to the season by registering two wins, but I think Crystal Palace will take the points here.

Prediction: Crystal Palace win

Everton v Aston Villa

This is a tricky game to call. Aston Villa haven’t had a great start. Everton have been good, and Jack Grealish has been good. Jack’s also going up against his old club so I’ll go for a home win.

Prediction: Everton win

Fulham v Leeds

Home win. I Think Fulham will have a good season and had a good window.

Prediction: Fulham win

Newcastle v Wolves

All eyes will be on whether one or both new strikers will start for Newcastle. I suspect at least one will, and the crowd will be up for it. It’ll be great for people to forget all the Isak talk now that situation is done. I’ll go for a Newcastle win.

Prediction: Newcastle win

West Ham v Tottenham

No one saw the away win coming for West Ham last time out. London Derby here so I’ll go for a draw.

Prediction: Draw

Brentford v Chelsea 

I think Chelsea will have enough to nick this one. Derby games are always tight but yeah, Chelsea will just win here.

Prediction: Chelsea win

Burnley v Liverpool

I can only see a Liverpool win to be honest. With the games they’ve had so far. They’ve not been great performances but they have been great results. I’ll go for an away win.

I think Isak will be on the bench. I’m pretty sure he won’t start the game but you may see him for 10 or 15 minutes and that may be the case for a couple of weeks.

Prediction: Liverpool win

Man City v Man United

Home win. It’s a huge game for both clubs already this season and it always is. But because of what’s happened to Man City and the pressure Man United could be under, it’s a huge game. I’ll go for a home win.

Prediction: Man City win
