Charlie Nicholas’ Premier League score predictions (4th October)

We continue our look at what Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has predicted…

BURNLEY v EVERTON

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “I do not go against Burnley often, and this is still the same scenario. Burnley are mid-table and only won two of their opening seven matches, but they are on the verge of going into the top half and have posed a threat in every game, with Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood are getting the goals again. It is an old fashioned partnership but when one scores, the other has a day off! They are back to being solid defensively, so I do not see trouble for them this year, and I expect them to win this game. I never know what Marco Silva wants to achieve. When you have as many attacking options as he does, and it isn’t working, you have to try something different. There is no rhythm to Everton, no understanding and if things pan out how I see them at Burnley, Silva could be very fortunate to still be in his seat by the international break, with Everton potentially in the bottom three.”

 

LIVERPOOL v LEICESTER

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-2

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “This is the ultimate test for Leicester. They are the real deal and could be close to breaking into the top six. They beat Tottenham and should have got something against Man Utd, but they will go to Anfield and take them on. Liverpool’s defence isn’t as good as last season and we knew that, but they are five points clear. Brendan Rodgers knows how dangerous their front three will be, he will try to block the full-backs too and that isn’t being defensive, it is being tactical. If Salzburg can score three times at Anfield then I’m sure Leicester could grab a goal. Liverpool have played well in some and stumbled in other, so this might be the one where they finally falter.”

 

WATFORD v SHEFFIELD UTD

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 2-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Quique Sanchez Flores got the point against Arsenal, but it has been downhill since. I like this manager and I liked him the first time, but two points is nowhere near good enough. Sheffield United will feel disappointed after their result against Liverpool. They will struggle to score goals this season, but their pace and commitment is there for all to see. Watford will know they need to get over the line – it will be a tough game with lots of bookings, but they will get their first win of the season.”

 

MAN CITY v WOLVES

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 3-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Wolves can be awkward, but Manchester City should have a comfortable afternoon. If Liverpool drop points on the Saturday before, then it is a chance they simply have to take. City are brilliant to watch, and they are only just getting started. Wolves are a dangerous side and they got their first win last week, but by the time they have come from Thursday’s tough trip to Besiktas, it may be too much for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.”

 

ARSENAL v BOURNEMOUTH

The score Charlie Nicholas has predicted for this game is: 3-1

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “This is a game I expect Arsenal to go and win. Bournemouth are ticking along nicely and will play on the counter-attack, but they don’t tend to get results on the road away at the big sides. But with Arsenal’s defence is still very fragile, this is another dangerous game for the Gunners. They should just have enough to get the win, but then again if Arsenal are one thing, they are surprising.”
