Leicester has struggled to find the right balance since arriving in the top flight, and manager Steve Cooper will be hoping the international break can put a stop to their four successive winless runs in all competitions. The Foxes were heavily crushed by Manchester United at Old Trafford the last time out prior to the break. They will be desperate to turn things around in this match, but they have struggled defensively with the team conceding in each of their last five matches. 

Meanwhile, Chelsea, despite early season criticism under head coach Enzo Maresca, has made some significant improvements in form in the new campaign. The Blues, since suffering a defeat at Anfield, have managed to remain unbeaten in the league, including playing a 1-1 draw against both Manchester United and London rivals Arsenal. This left them third in the table and four points behind second-placed Manchester City.

Predictions: The last four consecutive encounters between the two teams have produced both teams to score options. So, we predict both teams's score options.

Arsenal fans are beginning to suffer a hole in their hearts in their hope of winning the Premier League silverware for the first time since 2003. The Gunners have recently struggled with their form, going winless in their last three matches across all competitions. They suffered a 1-0 loss on their trip to face Newcastle United and followed it up with a 1-1 draw against their rival Chelsea before the international break. However, their performances in their game with the London rival increased, especially with the return of some key players back in the squad. 

Nottingham Forest has been the surprise hot cake in the Premier League as Nuno's men find themselves somehow in contention for European competitions next season. However, they ended their impressive four-match unbeaten streak with a chocking 3-1 defeat against Newcastle United at the City Ground.

Prediction: Historically, The Gunners have always gotten the better side of Forest, as they have won six of their last seven Premier League games against Nottingham Forest, including back-to-back victories last season. We predict a win for Arsenal.

Aston Villa is now beginning to feel the heat of combining the Champions League and the Premier League together. The Villians have struggled across all competitions recently, as they are winless in the last five competitive matches. Unai Emery will be hoping the international break will help bring some energy back to the team having already slipped to ninth in the Premier League standings following two defeats and a draw in their last three outings in the English top flight.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace has suffered a miserable start to the season as Palace find themselves currently in the relegation zone. Palace have won just once in the league this season, a 1-0 home victory against Tottenham, and are yet to win on the road in the English top-flight, drawing two and losing three. However, they will boost their confidence in their trip to Villa Park after beating the Villans 2-1 at Villa Park in the EFL Cup round of 16 at the end of October.

Prediction: Aston Villa will be hoping for revenge in this game after Palace capitalized on Emery resting on players in the 2-1 defeat in the Carabao Cup at the end of October. So we predict a win for Villa.

Manchester City is currently facing a challenging season, and Pep Guardiola hopes the roaring from the Etihad Stadium will put a break to their current disastrous four-match losing streak across all competitions. Their woeful performance started with a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham in the EFL Cup and then followed it up with defeats against Bournemouth, Sporting CP, and Brighton. The Citizens have looked vulnerable in their defensive duty as they have conceded in eight of their last nine Premier League games. 

On the other hand, Tottenham have blown hot and cold in form across all competitions. Spurs, before the international break, suffered two consecutive defeats against Galatasaray and Ipswich Town. Their defense has been exposed to be shaky, having conceded goals in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Predictions: The two teams are in hot goal scoring, but their major issue has been conceding goals. As a result, we expect both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Southampton have struggled with form since arriving in the top flight this season. The Saints started their Premier with a string of disappointing losses and draws in the league before finally securing their first three wins of the season against Everton. However, they reverted back to their losing ways in the English top flight just before the international break when the south coast club were handed a 2-0 defeat by struggling Wolves at Molineux.

On the other hand, Liverpool are sailing smoothly in all competitions this season as the Reds sit alone at the top of both the Champions League and the Premier League. The Reds' transition from Jürgen Klopp to Arne Slot has been going on smoothly as Liverpool have remained unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions, claiming 12 wins and a draw. The Reds attack their opponents at maximum speed, and an opponent like Southampton with a shaky defense might find it a bit tough.

Prediction: We consider Liverpool the hottest favorites in this game, considering their incredible form in all competitions before the international break and Southampton's poor form since arriving in the top flight.
