Premier League 2018/19 Gameweek 9: Match previews and predictions

#2. Everton vs. Crystal Palace

Palace needs Zaha to be fit for the game

Everton won away at Leicester City last time out and would be looking to do the same at home this weekend. Defender Yerry Mina could finally make his debut after three months out with a foot injury. Andres Gomes is also available along with defender Phil Jagielka.

The Eagles are currently fourteenth in the league and looking for a consistent run of good results which has been hard to come by. Wilfried Zaha sustained a groin injury on International duty and could be out for the game.

Prediction: Everton 2 - 1 Crystal Palace

#1. Arsenal vs. Leicester City

A victory would make it 10 wins in a row in all competitions

Arsenal is back to where they belong in the top four after six successive wins. The strike partnership of Lacazette and Aubameyang has been sensational, and Unai Emery would be hoping they can maintain their understanding till the end of the season. The defence is still a worry for the Gunners, and they are struggling to keep clean sheets this season.

The Foxes lost last time out at home against Everton and will be without their captain, Morgan, who got suspended in the previous match. However, Leicester City has made their best start to the campaign since winning the title in 2016.

Prediction: Arsenal 3 - 2 Leicester City
