Our tip: Gunners v Red Devils up for grabs

Cape Town - Leaders and recent-past champions Manchester United visiting Arsenal is match of the weekend in the English Premiership ... and our panel offer all outcomes, suggesting just how ding-dong it might be at the Emirates Stadium.

Meanwhile, majority sentiment seems to favour a draw for Sunday’s other biggie, the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. 

Each round of the 2015/16 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.
