Sunday’s Premier League tips

Brentford to win 3-1

Brentford at home is always difficult for the visiting team. Will Crystal Palace have any players left by Sunday? They seem to be selling absolutely everybody!
I’m going to go for a comfortable 3-1 Brentford win. Ivan Toney’s still there and I think he’ll be a bit miffed that no-one’s come in for him.
It’s not going to be a big problem for him in the long run because he can just walk away at the end of the season and he’ll get all the money people might have spent on him.
Brentford are well managed, I like the way they play and the process they go through to find players to bring in.
4.30pm: Chelsea v Manchester City

I can see this being a draw. With Manchester City they don’t start very well, they get into their stride form Christmas onwards.
Chelsea, we’ve got no idea who’s playing or what their best team is but this game last year was probably one of the best adverts for the Premier League I’ve ever seen, it was just fab.
Chelsea already are questioning the manager, Enzo Maresca, they’ve got another new one but he’s a Pep Guardiola man and worked with him at City. I think he’ll make it really difficult for City over the weekend. I’m going for a 1-1 draw.
Playing at Stamford Bridge, it’s tight, you feel like you’ve hardly got any room. That will make it easier for Chelsea to stop City and I think their squad is nearly all fit. They can have the 11 starters and 328 sat on the bench!
Chelsea and Maresca won’t want to lose this game. They’re still buying players and trying to work out what they’re doing. I’ve no idea who’s in charge at that football club at all. I don’t mean the manger, I mean whoever’s telling them to buy all these players.
