Manchester United and Tottenham in trouble, Jeff Stelling predicts of the Premier League's biggest games

Jeff Stelling predicts another tough weekend for Manchester United and Tottenham in the Premier League.

In the third week of the new season, both teams are desperate to secure their second win of the campaign, but face clashes with their respective ghost teams.

While West Ham receive Manchester City On Saturday night, it was the Sunday games that really caught Jeff's attention.

Tottenham travel to Newcastle having lost 6-1 and 4-0 respectively on their last two visits to St James' Park.

Meanwhile, United welcomes Liverpool to Old Trafford knowing that they have won two of their last three home games against their rivals.

However, they have conceded 26 goals in their last eight games against the Merseysiders.

Here, talkSPORT Sports Breakfast presenter Stelling looks back at the weekend's biggest games.

West Ham vs Manchester City

Home games are not getting any easier for West Ham at the start of this season.

Listen to this, they have taken three points from their last 57 home and away games against Manchester City.

Erling Haaland has scored four in four games against the Hammers and I think West Ham are going to have a decent season, but the wait for a home win will continue, in my opinion.

Jeff's prediction: West Ham 0-2 Manchester City

Newcastle United v Tottenham

Newcastle United Spurs face Tottenham having been hammered twice on their last two visits to St James' Park, conceding ten goals in two games.

It seems that Tottenham could be vulnerable to Newcastle's counter-attacking style: Alexander Isak scored four of those ten goals I mentioned and could score again.

I think Newcastle will get their second home win of the season.

Jeff's prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Tottenham

Manchester United vs Liverpool

It's mine Game of the week and in fact, it is the game of the season so far.

Just to add a little extra spice, if needed, this is a case of double hollandaise sauce with Erik the Hag vs. Arne Slot: They have faced each other four times as coaches in the past and cannot be separated, with two wins each so far.

Mo Salah loves travelling to Old Trafford – he has scored in each of his last six appearances there.

In fact, he loves to take on… Manchester United with an astonishing 14 goals in the last 11 games he has played against them, absolutely astonishing.

I love Lisandro Martinez at the heart of Manchester United's defence, he marshals the defence beautifully and is willing to put his body on the line when needed, which is just as well because he'll need it this weekend.

Here I can only see an away win.

Jeff's prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Liverpool
