We're starting a brand new EPL prediction contest today and after a dull international break with only the bitching and banning of the Brazilian players by FIFA bringing any interest to the last two weeks' proceedings.

It looks like however, that Brazil have dropped their complaints and the players from Brazil, including Leeds' superstar Raphinha will be allowed to play in the huge match between Leeds and Liverpool on Sunday.

What else is going on today? Oh, only Ronaldo making his second debut for scum. He's 36, and the premier league is a harder, faster league than the Italian or Spanish league, so my prediction is a huge damp squib. £480,000 a week, a reduction from the £663,000 he was on at Juventus. It genuinely makes me sick.

But first, let's take a look at today's game between...

@nathen007's Prediction

Chelsea are sitting pretty with seven from a possible nine, leaving them in fourth place with only the draw with Liverpool blotting their copybook but that was still a very impressive performance for a team down to ten men and you could argue they were much the better side when they still had eleven players on the field.

Looks like Silva will be able to play after all and Lukaku will be back, but Kante and Pulisic are still out through injury.

Villa are just trying to settle down after all the huge personnel changes recently and this won't be helped by the loss of Emi Martinez and Buendia due to quarantine rules.

The loss of Jack Grealish doesn't seem to have affected them too much and they have been solid rather than spectacular in their first 3 games with Danny Ings been a stand-out performer. Still, it's going to be a tough ask to get anything from this game with the Tuchel rejuvenated Chelsea looking like real contenders this years.

Prediction: Chelsea 2 : 0 Aston Villa - First goal scorer: Lukaku

Good luck for today's game. Upvotes and Resteems are NOT a requisite for entry but would be very much appreciated.
