Premier League Preview: Sep 15-17th 2018

Manchester City vs Fulham, 1500 (GMT +1) on Saturday

Sergio Aguero says he feels like he's in the shape of his life following knee surgery in April

Man City dropped points away at Wolves, which some may have seen as odd, but Wolves are a decent side, and they also dropped points to Everton early on last season, before going on to record a record-breaking consecutive run of victories. Their home form against lesser teams is also incredible, with Sergio Aguero having scored 11 in his last 7 home league games. He looks sure to continue that form against the newly promoted Fulham.

The Whites aren't renowned for having the best defense in the country, but they'll have to step up their game and hope that Aleksander Mitrovic can keep up his excellent goal-scoring record if they're hoping to get anything out of the game.

Prediction: Manchester City 5 - 0 Fulham

Newcastle vs Arsenal, 1500 (GMT +1) on Saturday

Arsenal had one of the worst away records in the league last season, with humiliating defeats coming from all over the table. The Gunners registered only 4 away wins all year, with their sole victory on the road in 2018 coming after a run of 7 consecutive defeats away from the Emirates. They've already managed one away win so far this season, though that was against Cardiff so they still have a lot to prove.

Newcastle meanwhile have endured a troubled start to the season, and find themselves in the relegation zone with only one point from their opening four games. They need to sort themselves out sharpish or they could be pulled into the season-long relegation battle. They came out 2-1 victors when the sides last faced at St James' Park, but Arsenal are a new beast under Unai Emery than they were under Arsene Wenger, and it seems only a matter of time before they sort themselves out and start playing through teams.

Prediction: Newcastle 1 - 2 Arsenal
