Our tip: City to march on!

Cape Town – There’s already only one team left in the English Premiership with a 100 percent record... and Manchester City aren’t about to surrender it, according to our tipsters.

The in-form log-leaders entertain newcomers Watford and our panel all have them winning by a margin of anywhere between two and four goals.

Champions Chelsea, similarly, are confidently backed to see off Crystal Palace in a juicy-looking London derby, albeit generally by a much tighter margin.

Each round of the 2015/16 English Premiership season, a panel of our staff has a crack at predicting the results – do the exercise yourself, if you like, and see how you compare afterwards.

Compiled by Rob Houwing (Newcastle-partial), the others are Garrin Lambley (Everton), Herman Mostert (Chelsea), and a quartet of Manchester United devotees in Tashreeq Vardien, Wade Pretorius, Lloyd Burnard and Maano Nekhavhambe.

Three points are awarded for an entirely correct scoreline, and one for right result.
