Manchester City vs Manchester United Preview Draw or Manchester City win Both teams to score The international break came at an unusual time for Manchester City, who returned to league action having lost successive matches for the first time since 2018. A 2-0 defeat at home to Tottenham left them on just three points from three matches, the lowest tally ever posted by a Pep Guardiola team at this stage of a league season. Should they fall short again here, it would be the first time City have lost three of their opening four Premier League games since the relegation…

Burnley vs Liverpool Preview Liverpool to win Over 3.5 goals Burnley’s return to the Premier League has been unkind in terms of fixtures, with three of their opening four matches coming against traditional members of the so-called ‘Big Six.’ That run continues here as they welcome reigning champions Liverpool to Turf Moor. Scott Parker’s side have taken three points from their opening three games (W1, L2), which, given the calibre of opposition they have faced, is not the worst possible return. Before the international break, Burnley pushed Manchester United all the way in a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford. Parker…

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest Preview Arsenal to win Over 2.5 goals Arsenal return to Premier League action at the Emirates aiming to bounce back from their narrow 1-0 defeat at Anfield before the international break. While the loss to Liverpool was their first stumble of the campaign, it exposed once again how injuries can seriously impact their rhythm. Mikel Arteta’s men have already been stretched by a lengthy absentee list, which threatens to derail their title push before momentum even builds. The Gunners still remain among the favourites for the crown, but consistency will be key if they are to turn…

Everton vs Aston Villa Preview Everton to win Over 1.5 goals for Everton The September international break provided a brief pause to reflect, but Everton will want to pick up right where they left off. The Toffees come into this clash on the back of three consecutive competitive victories, a run that has transformed the mood around the club following an opening-day defeat at Leeds. David Moyes has already been recognised for his team’s form, earning a nomination for Manager of the Month, while midfielder Jack Grealish was nominated for Player of the Month after a string of creative masterclasses.…

Newcastle vs Wolves Preview Newcastle to win Over 1.5 goals Newcastle return from the international break desperate to turn solid performances into results. A turbulent summer saw their star striker Alexander Isak depart for Liverpool, leaving manager Eddie Howe scrambling for replacements. The arrivals of Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa provide fresh attacking options, but Newcastle’s failure to win any of their opening three league fixtures (D2, L1) has already left frustration simmering at St James’ Park. The Magpies’ winless streak in the Premier League now stretches to five games (D2, L3), and concern will grow if they cannot pick up…

West Ham vs Tottenham Preview Draw or Tottenham win Both teams to score Graham Potter remains under severe pressure at West Ham, but the 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest just before the international break gave him some much-needed breathing space. It was a performance that surprised many, not only because it came against a side competing in the Europa League but also because of how comprehensive the result was. That win marked West Ham’s biggest winning margin since October 2024 when they beat Ipswich 4-1, a reminder of the potential within this squad. However, Potter’s position is far from secure. The Hammers…

Brentford vs Chelsea Preview Chelsea to win Over 1.5 goals for Chelsea The Premier League season resumes with Chelsea set for a fourth consecutive London derby to kick off their campaign, this time making the short journey across the capital to face Brentford. For the hosts, the summer window proved particularly unsettling, with multiple key figures departing. Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Nørgaard and Yoane Wissa all moved on to pastures new, while former manager Thomas Frank also vacated his post. His successor, Keith Andrews, faces the daunting task of steadying the ship at the Gtech Community Stadium. Andrews’ start has been…

Bournemouth vs Brighton Preview Both teams to score Over 2.5 goals Bournemouth return from the September international break in buoyant mood, having made one of their best-ever starts to a Premier League season. Two wins from their opening three games (W2, L1) have positioned the Cherries comfortably inside the top half of the table, with their tally of six points offering the fanbase genuine optimism that a campaign of struggle may be avoided. The early evidence suggests Andoni Iraola has learned much from his debut season in English football, with Bournemouth now playing with greater balance between attack and defence. Their…

Crystal Palace vs Sunderland Preview Draw Both teams to score Crystal Palace return to Premier League action after the international break riding a wave of confidence. Their 3-0 demolition of Aston Villa before the break extended their unbeaten run to nine matches in the competition (W3, D6). That victory also ensured Palace began a new top-flight campaign without defeat after three rounds for the first time since 1992/93, providing further evidence that Oliver Glasner’s system is bearing fruit. The manager has successfully blended defensive organisation with sharp attacking transitions, and the Eagles’ growing European ambitions are reflected in their consistency.…

Fulham vs Leeds Preview Draw Under 2.5 goals Fulham enter this weekend with pressure mounting, having failed to win any of their opening three Premier League fixtures (D2, L1). Each of those matches finished with exactly two goals scored, which hints at both a lack of attacking edge and a degree of defensive vulnerability. This represents their longest winless start to a Premier League season since 2020/21, a campaign that ended in relegation. Supporters are understandably cautious, particularly given the Cottagers’ home form. Craven Cottage has hardly been a fortress recently, with Fulham going four home league matches without victory (D1, L3). If…
