&w=707&quality=100)
Recommended bets:
- Both teams to score in Everton vs West Ham
- Nottingham Forest to beat Ipswich
- Manchester City to beat Brighton and both teams to score
- Wolves to beat Southampton and both teams to score
- Evanilson to score for Bournemouth against Brentford
The Premier League will take a back seat for the upcoming international break next week, but before then there are five matches to take in from the top-flight on Saturday.
Here are our experts' best bets for all of Saturday's games, with the likes of Manchester City, Brighton and Nottingham Forest all in action.
Everton vs West Ham (3pm)
Everton boss David Moyes has the chance to take some revenge against his former club West Ham, who decided to move on from their most successful manager of modern times over the summer.
An impressive aspect of the job that Moyes has done with Everton, considering his reputation for dour football, is to get a Toffees side lacking firepower to score regularly again and it seems likely that there will be goals at both ends again on Saturday.
Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest (3pm)
This looks like the perfect opportunity for Nottingham Forest to turn around their poor away form, with their last Premier League victory on the road coming back in January against Wolves.
Ipswich may well make life tough for Forest, but the visitors have the extra quality and should claim an important win.
Manchester City vs Brighton (3pm)
Manchester City can come out on top this weekend in an entertaining game which should see both teams scoring.
The reigning champions have won six of their last eight games at the Etihad, with the two defeats in that run coming against Real Madrid and runaway league leaders Liverpool so they can be somewhat excused.
Brighton have won their last six games in all competitions, an impressive spell that includes two victories over Chelsea, and others over Fulham, Bournemouth and Newcastle.
And despite City's obvious troubles this term, a trip to the Etihad remains one of the toughest in the division, so Brighton look set to be on the end of a narrow defeat.

Southampton vs Wolves (3pm)
This trip to the Premier League’s bottom club is a real opportunity for Wolves to take a step towards safety, on a weekend when both Leicester and Ipswich have difficult away games that they are expected to lose.
Though Southampton are adrift from the rest on just nine points, their performance at Liverpool last weekend shows that they are still fighting and they could get on the scoresheet in defeat.
Bournemouth vs Brentford (5.30pm)
The return of Evanilson from injury is a timely one for Bournemouth, with the Brazilian striker, who scored in the reverse fixture against Brentford, having had an immediate impact since being reinstated to the team.
Brentford’s away record suggests that they can give Bournemouth a tough game, but while the result may be difficult to predict, an entertaining encounter with plenty of goals seems guaranteed.
