West Ham vs Brentford Preview Draw Both teams to score It’s been a torrid start for West Ham, who remain without a home league win this term after three successive defeats at the London Stadium. The Hammers’ faithful will be hoping that new manager Nuno Espírito Santo can inspire an immediate turnaround in his first Premier League home game in charge. His side’s record of one win, one draw, and five losses (W1, D1, L5) represents their joint-worst return after seven games in the last 14 top-flight campaigns. West Ham’s struggles in London derbies have been particularly alarming, having lost all four…

Mikel Arteta’s side were determined to respond after Manchester City’s earlier win, but Fulham made the brighter start with Tom Cairney and Harry Wilson testing the visitors’ resolve. Riccardo Calafiori thought he had opened the scoring for Arsenal, only for VAR to rule his effort offside. Fulham kept pressing through Wilson and Josh King, while David Raya was alert to deny a…

Liverpool vs Manchester United Preview Draw or Liverpool win Both teams to score The international break arguably came at the perfect time for Liverpool, whose once-dominant start to the campaign has unravelled in dramatic fashion with three successive defeats in all competitions. Each of those losses came away from home, including two in the Premier League, and as a result, Arne Slot’s men surrendered their place at the top of the table. Yet despite that wobble, there remains plenty of reason for optimism among the Anfield faithful. Liverpool have been nothing short of formidable on home soil, losing just two…
