Mikel in a video shared on Instagram, chose Chelsea to win their away fixture at Hill Dickinson Stadium against Everton, Leeds United to defeat Manchester United at home, and Nottingham Forest to take at least a point from their clash with Arsenal at the City Ground.

Mikel's three selections reflect his confidence in Chelsea's ability to perform away from home, Leeds to capitalise on their home advantage against a struggling Manchester United side, and Forest to hold firm against an Arsenal team visiting the City Ground.

McHardy took a different approach with his predictions, tipping Fulham to beat Hull City and Tottenham Hotspur to secure their first Premier League win of the season against Coventry City. He also backed Brighton and Hove Albion to get the better of Crystal Palace in the south London derby.
