Impressively, Bayern Munich have won their last seven home league fixtures dating back to last season.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest - Liverpool to win
Despite the evident drop in form, which has seen the Premier League Champions fall behind Manchester City and Arsenal, Liverpool have been strong at home, with their recent defeats taking place away from Anfield. Liverpool has lost only two league games at Anfield in the past year, and this season the Reds have won four of their five home matches.
Nottingham Forest are yet to win an away fixture this season in the Premier League, having suffered three defeats to Arsenal (3-0), Newcastle United (2-0) & Bournemouth (2-0), whilst picking up only two points against Burnley (1-1) & Crystal Palace (1-1).
Bournemouth vs West Ham United - Bournemouth to win
Bournemouth's recent home form should provide the Cherries with enough impetus to secure the victory against West Ham United this weekend.

Hosts Wolves have already lost nine times in just 11 Premier League games this season and currently sit rock bottom of the table without a single victory to their name. Saturday's hosts are currently in the midst of a five-match losing run across all competitions, and have conceded at least three goals in each of their last four fixtures.
The Eagles sit 10th in the table heading into the weekend and boast an excellent record against Wolves, which includes seven wins from the pair's last nine league meetings. Crystal Palace were unbeaten in their previous four matches heading into the international break, with victories against Liverpool (0-3), Brentford (2-0), AZ Alkmaar (3-1) and a draw against Brighton & Hove Albion (0-0).
Fulham vs Sunderland - Sunderland to win
Fulham have struggled at times this season, losing five of their last six league matches before the international break. The home side's only victory in that time was against Wolves (3-0), while defeats against Everton (2-0), Newcastle United (2-1) and Arsenal (0-1) have seen the side slip slowly down the league standings.

Prior to the international break, the visitors are unbeaten in their last four league matches.
Birmingham City vs Norwich City - Birmingham to win
Birmingham City's recent form has been relatively solid by all accounts, with three wins in their previous five league games, with victories against Millwall (4-0), Portsmouth (4-0) and Preston North End (0-1).

Bradford City’s recent form has seen them slip out of the top two places in League One.
