Nottingham Forest vs Wolves: Over 2.5 Goals
Wolves conceded six goals against Chelsea last Sunday and their defenders will travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday low on confidence, so Forest will fancy their chances of creating several opportunities.
That said, Wolves did score twice against Chelsea, then twice again against Burnley in their Wednesday night EFL Cup meeting, so there are signs that Gary O'Neil's side remain a potent attacking threat in the wake of Pedro Neto's sale.
Leicester vs Aston Villa: Aston Villa To Win
Aston Villa can outclass Leicester City in this Midlands dust-up at the King Power Stadium.
West Ham away was a challenging opening fixture for Villa, but they beat the Hammers 2-1 before losing to Arsenal next time out.
Leicester are far weaker opposition than the Gunners and Unai Emery's Villa can make merry, led by livewire forward Ollie Watkins.
Emery's side have lost just three of their last 10 away games in the Premier League and they beat Leicester 2-1 the last time they met at the King Power Stadium.

Everton v Bournemouth: Under 2.5 Goals
The doom and gloom at Goodison Park was dissipated slightly by an EFL Cup success over Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday, but it took the Toffees 53 minutes to break down their League Two opponents.
Everton remain pretty toothless in attack and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's on-off transfer has not helped morale.
It has been difficult for Sean Dyche to make plans for the season without knowing whether Calvert-Lewin is staying.
A tight, tetchy fixture can be expected at Goodison on Saturday between two sides low on confidence and a cutting edge, with Bournemouth badly missing Dominic Solanke, who they sold to Tottenham.
Brentford vs Southampton: Brentford To Win
Brentford fans have spent this week fretting about losing Ivan Toney to a richer club, but the Bees have made a solid start to the new campaign and can approach Saturday's meeting with Southampton carrying plenty of confidence.
Brentford beat Crystal Palace at the Gtech Community Stadium in their opening home fixture of the season.
The Bees have won their last three matches against Southampton without conceding a goal and they look well equipped to continue that dominance.
Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have been relishing their extra attacking responsibility in the absence of Toney.
