Sunday's Premier League predictions including Chelsea vs. Man City

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Premier League fixtures, including Chelsea vs. Man City.

Once again commencing Premier League duties with a London derby, Brentford welcome local rivals Crystal Palace to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

While Thomas Frank's side survived a slight relegation scare last season, the Eagles soared in the closing stages of the campaign but now begin life without one of their chief attacking threats.

We say: Brentford 1-3 Crystal Palace


One look at that Crystal Palace starting XI, and one would not put it past Glasner's men to make a charge for the European places in 2024-25, so long as their prized assets remain at the club after the transfer window slams shut.

Facing a Brentford side with a depleted defence and a misfiring striker in Toney, the Eagles should pick up where they left off at the end of last season with a dominant opening-day win.

Chelsea vs. Man City (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Manchester City begin their pursuit of an unprecedented fifth straight Premier League title on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in their opening fixture of the 2024-25 season.

The two teams meet just 15 days on from their pre-season encounter in the United States, where the Citizens secured a 4-2 victory courtesy of a hat-trick from last season's Golden Boot winner Erling Haaland.

We say: Chelsea 1-3 Manchester City


If last season's Stamford Bridge showdown is anything to go by - a thrilling 4-4 draw in November last year - then we could be in for an entertaining, end-to-end contest on Sunday between two teams hoping to kick-start the new season with a statement victory.

The absence of Rodri is a huge blow for Man City, who struggled without his presence last season, but they remain a formidable outfit who will likely have plenty of joy in the final third against a defensively frail Chelsea side.
