As the eleventh round of Premier League action approaches, it’s an exciting time for football fans—time to dive into our Predictor game!

Predictor is an easy, no-cost game where you can snag impressive cash prizes, including a weekly £1,000. All you need to do is predict the outcomes of seven Premier League matches—whether it’s a win or a draw. And if you top the leaderboard for the entire season, there’s a grand prize of £5,000 waiting for you.

What’s more, you can join or create leagues, making them public or private to compete against friends or challenge our experts. Prove your football prowess by joining the game at dailymail.co.uk/predictor and show who really knows their stuff.

Sunday afternoon promises an action-packed slate with five matches kicking off at 2 pm. Crystal Palace faces Brighton at Selhurst Park, Aston Villa takes on an in-form Bournemouth, Brentford hosts Newcastle United, while Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest goes up against Leeds. The weekend’s highlight features Manchester City versus Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium.

Ready to put your skills to the test? The next expert you’ll aim to outsmart is Daily Mail Sport’s Lewis Steele.

Here’s what Lewis Steele predicts:

There’s an old adage that dictates at least one team must be the Premier League’s crisis club at any given time – both Manchester City and Liverpool have held that mantle at times in recent months.

SPURS VS MAN UNITED – AWAY 

EVERTON VS FULHAM – HOME

EVERTON VS FULHAM – HOME 

SUNDERLAND VS ARSENAL – AWAY

EVERTON VS FULHAM – HOME 

CHELSEA VS WOLVES – HOME 

BRENTFORD VS NEWCASTLE – AWAY

CRYSTAL PALACE VS BRIGHTON – AWAY 

Yet Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot both go into this Sunday’s meeting at the Etihad Stadium full of confidence after recent wins.

Liverpool, after six defeats in seven and 10 games without a clean sheet, are back to winning ways with victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid. All the criticism, reaction and predictions for their season look rather silly now.

Manchester City, meanwhile, had a bad couple of games at the start of the season but have lost just one of their last 13. Erling Haaland is in the form of his life, Phil Foden is (nearly) back to his best and the two Nicos, O’Reilly and Gonzalez, look classy. Rayan Cherki is not bad, either.

So how will this one go on Sunday? I am going to go with a draw. Although both of these teams have shown they can defend if needed, I still do not trust either of them not to leak goals. Let’s go with a score draw.

The other big game is Tottenham hosting Manchester United, a repeat of the Europa League final. I can’t work out either of these teams – sometimes I watch them and they are brilliant, sometimes they are awful.

But I do like the looks of Ruben Amorim’s system with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha now getting better and better. With that in mind, plus Spurs’s leaky defence, I am going with an away win for United.

I am also going for an away win for Arsenal at Sunderland, although it would be a great story if Granit Xhaka popped up with a goal against his old club. The Gunners don’t concede goals, though, it would seem.

Early-season form often clouds perceptions of teams and Everton’s good start has probably brought them credit when, in reality, they have won just one of their last eight games. But I am backing them to return to winning ways here, at home to 15th-placed Fulham.

I am also going with Chelsea to beat Wolves, Newcastle to return to winning ways away at Brentford and Brighton to win the M23 Derby away at Crystal Palace, who have struggled after all of their Thursday night Europa Conference League fixtures this season.

Do you agree? Or think you can beat and the rest of our experts? Play now. 

We will be back on Monday to assess all the action, review the leaderboard and get ready for the next weekend of games.
