Liverpool vs Everton Preview Liverpool to win Over 1.5 goals for Liverpool The Merseyside derby returns to Anfield this weekend, and it arrives with both teams entering in solid form, though with very different levels of expectation. Liverpool, defending their Premier League crown, have already demonstrated a habit of pulling results out of the fire, while Everton are quietly enjoying one of their most positive starts in recent years. For Liverpool, this season has been about resilience. Arne Slot’s side may boast a perfect record across their opening five matches in all competitions, but performances have not always matched the…

Manchester United vs Chelsea Preview Draw or Chelsea win Over 2.5 goals Manchester United return to Old Trafford facing a storm of criticism after another damaging defeat, this time a 3-0 loss in the Manchester derby. That result left many fans questioning manager Ruben Amorim’s future, with rumours circulating that the October international break could be used as an opportunity for a change in leadership if performances don’t improve. His record is underwhelming, with only 31 points taken from 31 league games under his management, and there’s a sense of stagnation around the club. The Red Devils desperately need a…

Brighton vs Tottenham Preview Draw or Spurs win Over 2.5 goals The Premier League resumes after the mid-week Champions League action with an intriguing south coast versus north London clash, as Brighton host Tottenham at the Amex Stadium. Both clubs arrive with contrasting moods, and the outcome could say much about their respective ambitions for the 2025/26 season. Brighton entered this campaign with optimism after an eighth-placed finish last term and a strong reputation for producing exciting attacking football.

Burnley vs Nottingham Forest Preview Draw or Burnley win Both teams to score Burnley return to Turf Moor seeking a much-needed lift after a gut-wrenching pair of stoppage-time defeats. Manager Scott Parker’s men had battled valiantly against both Manchester United and Liverpool, only to see valuable points slip away after conceding late penalties in each game. While facing two of England’s elite clubs might normally excuse defeat, the manner in which they were undone will sting deeply. At this early stage of the campaign, Burnley have just three points from their first four matches (W1, L3), a record that places…

West Ham vs Crystal Palace Preview Palace to win Mateta to score The London Stadium will be brimming with tension as West Ham prepare to host unbeaten Crystal Palace. The Hammers’ faltering start to the 2025/26 season has left manager Graham Potter under immense scrutiny, with his job security becoming a regular point of discussion.

Both sides are looking for momentum, but they approach this game in different moods and with different objectives.

Wolves vs Leeds Preview Draw Both teams to score The bottom of the table is already starting to look ominous for Wolves, who desperately need to put points on the board as they welcome newly-promoted Leeds to Molineux. Vítor Pereira’s side have endured a nightmare start to the campaign, suffering four defeats from four matches. Not only does this mark their worst-ever opening to a Premier League season, but Wolves have also struggled in both boxes, conceding nine goals while scoring just twice. The fanbase is beginning to grow restless, and this fixture now feels like a must-win to avoid…
