Everton

0–2 FT

Chelsea

Brentford

1–2 FT

Liverpool

Our pick2–1Missed

Liverpool and Brentford last met in May, sharing a 1-1 draw. Their recent history suggests another close game at the Gtech Community Stadium, with Liverpool missing several key players.

Fulham

1–0 FT

Hull City

Our pick1–2Missed

Fulham sit rock bottom of the Premier League with two points from six games, while Hull City are eighth on nine. Saturday's meeting at Craven Cottage offers the underdog a chance to disrupt a side with a stronger start.

Manchester City

Ipswich

Our pick3–0Correct result

Six wins from six have put Manchester City top of the Premier League. They host an Ipswich side still searching for consistency at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Newcastle

Aston Villa

Our pick2–1Missed

Newcastle's FA Cup win at Aston Villa in February is the latest chapter in a head-to-head record that has refused to lean either way. Both sides are still searching for consistency in the Premier League.

La Liga

Our pick1–2Correct result

Atletico Madrid travel to the RCDE Stadium looking to extend their strong start against an Espanyol side struggling for consistency. Kickoff is 15:00 Doha time.

Our pick2–1Missed

Elche arrive in the relegation zone on Saturday, and their recent record at the Estadio de la Cerámica offers little comfort. Villarreal have won two of the last two meetings and will look to make it three.

Our pick1–2Correct result

Barcelona have won every league game this season and head to Seville to face Real Betis, who sit third. With the top of the table at stake, both sides know a result here could shape the race.

Our pick0–2Missed

Valencia are 19th in La Liga with five points from eight games and a growing list of absentees. Athletic Club, 10th and unbeaten in their last two, arrive at Mestalla looking to take advantage.

Bundesliga

FC Schalke 04

FSV Mainz 05

Our pick1–2Correct result

Schalke need points badly and Mainz are looking to climb further up the table when the two sides meet on Saturday. The contrast between a host still waiting for a home goal and a visitor scoring freely on the road makes this one worth watching.

Hamburger SV

1–0 FT

VfB Stuttgart

Our pick1–2Missed

Hamburger SV have conceded 15 goals in their last five league games, a problem they must solve against a VfB Stuttgart side level with them on points. Both clubs sit on six points, separated by little more than goal difference.

SV Elversberg

4–3 FT

FC Augsburg

Our pick1–2Missed

Augsburg have scored 13 goals in their last five matches, but a long injury list will test whether that attacking edge holds on the road at Elversberg. The hosts have their own absences to worry about.

Union Berlin

0–0 FT

Borussia Dortmund

Our pick1–3Missed

Union Berlin host the Bundesliga's second-placed side on Saturday with a points deficit that leaves little room for error. Dortmund, unbeaten in the league this season, arrive in confident mood.

Werder Bremen

SC Paderborn 07

Our pick2–1Missed

Seventh-placed Bremen have eight points from five games, but nine absences leave them with a patched-together squad against a Paderborn side near the foot of the table.

Bayern München

6–1 FT

RB Leipzig

Our pick3–1Correct result

Bayern sit third on 11 points and Leipzig fifth on nine, so this Saturday meeting in Munich could reshape the race near the top of the table.

Our pick1–2Correct result

Botola Pro Sat 17 Oct

Difaa EL Jadida

4–1 FT

Moghreb Tetouan

Our pick1–1Missed

Pro League

Pro League Sat 17 Oct

NEOM

Al-Ettifaq

Our pick2–1Missed

Al Taawon

Stars League

Stars League Sat 17 Oct

Al-Sailiya

Qatar SC

Our pick1–2Missed

Stars League Sat 17 Oct

Lusail City

0–0 FT

Al Shamal

Our pick1–2Missed

Al Shamal arrive at Lusail Stadium fifth in the Stars League, three points clear of their hosts. Their recent meetings with Lusail City show a fixture that has rarely gone the home side's way.

Eredivisie

Eredivisie Sat 17 Oct

ADO Den Haag

2–1 FT

PSV Eindhoven

Our pick1–3Missed

PSV head to Bingoal Stadion on Saturday with the momentum and the points. ADO Den Haag, second-bottom and still searching for their first win of the season, need a performance to test the leaders.

Telstar

3–4 FT

Feyenoord

Our pick1–3Correct result

Telstar have gone five league games without a win, while Feyenoord arrive at the top of the Eredivisie on a four-match winning streak. Can the leaders keep rolling in Felsen?

Eredivisie Sat 17 Oct

Sparta Rotterdam

Willem II

Our pick2–0Correct result

Willem II have two points from eight games and sit bottom of the Eredivisie. A trip to Rotterdam to face a Sparta side only four points ahead offers little relief.

Serie A

Our pick1–0Correct result

Mirassol have not lost to Internacional in their last three meetings, and they will hope to extend that record at home on Friday. Both sides are stuck in the lower half of Serie A and need points.

Our pick0–2Missed

Our pick2–0Correct result

Amed have not lost in their last five Süper Lig matches and have won all four of their home games this season. Konyaspor, 16th and in the bottom three, need points badly.

Our pick1–3Correct result

Galatasaray travel to Eryaman as Süper Lig leaders, but their last two meetings with Gençlerbirliği have produced a result and a reversal that make this trip more complicated than the table suggests.

Our pick2–1Correct result

Fenerbahçe have not lost to Alanyaspor in their last five Süper Lig meetings, and they host them on Saturday with both sides in the top six.

Championship

Middlesbrough

Cardiff

Our pick2–0Missed

Cardiff arrive at the Riverside without an away win all season, while Middlesbrough have been unbeaten against them in their last five meetings. Saturday offers a chance to test that run.

Millwall have been steady without being spectacular, but Lincoln arrive in London with mounting pressure after a run of defeats that has left them near the foot of the Championship.

Watford

2–0 FT

Charlton

Our pick1–2Missed

Birmingham

3–0 FT

QPR

Our pick1–1Missed

Birmingham and QPR are separated by nothing but league position, with identical records after 10 games. Saturday's meeting at St. Andrew's could give one side the edge in a tight Championship race.

Bristol City

Sheffield Utd

Our pick1–2Correct result

Only two points separate these Championship strugglers, and the contrast between a home side that has struggled to score in Bristol and a visitor whose attack has travelled well makes this Saturday's clash a compelling one.

Derby

Stoke City

Our pick1–2Correct result

Derby have the chance to close the gap on the teams above them when Stoke City visit Pride Park on Saturday. The Rams are rooted to the foot of the Championship, while Stoke sit comfortably in the top half.

Norwich

Portsmouth

Our pick1–2Correct result

Norwich sit 20th in the Championship after four defeats in their last five, and a home game against a Portsmouth side on the rise puts the Canaries' season under sharper focus.

Southampton

0–0 FT

Bolton

Our pick2–1Missed

Southampton have yet to lose at home this season, while Bolton have scored freely on the road but conceded even more often. Saturday's clash tests whether the hosts' strength outweighs the visitors' attack.

Swansea

West Ham

Our pick1–2Correct result

West Ham have scored 18 goals in their last five Championship matches, and they travel to Swansea on Saturday with the table's top spots in sight. The hosts have yet to lose at home this season.

West Brom

Blackburn

Our pick1–0Correct result

Blackburn travel to The Hawthorns with six players unavailable, a problem that could decide how far they can push a West Brom side sitting above them in the Championship table.

Wrexham

4–1 FT

Preston

Our pick2–1Correct result
