Mikel predicts Premier League results
Mikel Obi, on the weekend episode of his Obi One Podcast, has predicted the outcome of three Premier League matches ahead of matchday 15 kickoff.
Mikel predicted his former team would beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium after their disappointing 3-1 loss to Leeds United at Elland Road.
He backs Pep Guardiola's Manchester City to continue their winning run against Sunderland, which has been the best newly promoted side.
The Chelsea legend has bad news for Manchester United as he predicted Ruben Amorim’s side to lose to Wolves, giving the bottom-of-the-table team their first win this season.
Mikel’s partner on the show, Chris McHardy, predicts that the match between Aston Villa and Arsenal at Villa Park will end in a scoring draw.
He added that Newcastle United will beat Burnley, while he predicted that Keith Andrews’ Brentford will beat their former manager’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca admits that his side must improve their performance as they will face a similar game against Bournemouth as they did against Leeds.
“Bournemouth will be a similar game to Leeds, that’s why we need to be better,” Maresca said at his pre-match press conference, as quoted by Chelseafc.com.
“They are intense; Leeds were very intense. I said after the game [with Leeds] that they were better than us in all aspects. Hopefully, we can learn from that and be better [against Bournemouth].”
