The Premier League is all set for another thrilling weekend as table toppers Arsenal travel to Brighton while struggling Manchester United travel to Fulham.
Premier League Preview:
Brentford v Chelsea
Brentford search for their first Premier League home win over Chelsea FC at the Gtech Community Stadium after drawing their last four meetings. The Bees are unbeaten in six, while high-scoring Chelsea have produced a league-high 19 goals across their opening five matches.
Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa
Spurs and Villa will face each other after 22 consecutive league meetings without a draw. Tottenham start following back-to-back 0-0 results, while winless Aston Villa aim to avoid matching their worst five-game opening start in top-flight history.
Brighton v Arsenal
Arsenal target a 10th consecutive league win, bolstered by the division’s best defence (2.7 xG allowed). Brighton boast a league-best 13 goals scored, led by Pascal Gross, who faces off against Gunners playmaker Martin Odegaard.
Everton v Ipswich Town
Everton will look to continue an unbeaten four-match opening run after Jordan Pickford secured his 100th Premier League clean sheet. Ipswich visit having claimed six points despite conceding 10 goals in four outings.
Leeds United v Crystal Palace
Leeds enjoy their best four-game start since 2001/02, propelled by Noah Okafor’s eight goal involvements in 11 games. Palace arrive in crisis, having leaked two or more goals in 10 straight matches.
Manchester City v Sunderland
Perfect Manchester City look to make it five straight wins under Enzo Maresca. Erling Haaland seeks his first goal against Sunderland, the only Premier League side he has failed to score against across two career meetings.
Newcastle United v Hull City
Unbeaten on three previous visits to St James’ Park, Hull City hope to extend their undefeated top-flight start behind in-form Mohamed Belloumi. Newcastle must tighten up after allowing a league-high 76 shots.
Nottingham Forest v Coventry City
Winless and goalless Coventry City visit a Forest team yet to score at home this term. Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White remains Forest’s focal threat, boasting 18 goal contributions during the 2026 calendar year.
Bournemouth v Liverpool
Liverpool aim to convert three early-season draws into a win against a Bournemouth side that has drawn 56.5% of their league fixtures in 2026. The Reds average three goals per match in this head-to-head fixture.
Fulham v Manchester United
Manchester United look to turn shot dominance (league-high 84) into points after a sluggish four-point start. Fulham hope to snap a dismal run of 10 goalless matches in 2026.
