This weekend’s Premier League schedule packs excitement for fans and drama for clubs still fighting the fight. The fixtures give teams a chance to build on recent form, while others face risks that threaten their league fortunes.
Liverpool aim to keep the momentum
Liverpool ended a worrying four‑match slide with a 5‑1 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt. Head coach Arne Slot now turns his focus to a Saturday match against Brentford, hoping the big win will set the tone for the rest of the season.
Key injury updates
- Alexander Isak has gone off with a hip injury.
- Ryan Gravenberch looked to have recovered after limping off against Manchester United.
- Chelsea’s Liam Delap remains sidelined, and Cole Palmer will miss at least another month.
Manchester United look for a turning point
United’s recent victory at Anfield may signal a revival under Ruben Amorim after a rough start. The Champions League‑winners are now ready to test themselves at Old Trafford when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion. Brighton, known for possession‑based play, will feature veteran striker Danny Welbeck in good form.
Chelsea face an intriguing Sunderland challenge
Chelsea’s young squad impressed in the Champions League. Their upcoming match at Sunderland will put striker Marc Guiu, who was loan‑signed then recalled, in the spotlight.
Leeds make a run for survival
The opener of the day sees Leeds United host West Ham United. Leeds have slipped to the lower end of the table after two losses and a draw. West Ham, still adjusting to Nuno Espirito Santo, suffered a defeat to Brentford last week and will be looking for a quick rebound.
Newcastle look for consistency
Newcastle United, under Eddie Howe, will try to replicate the impressive win against Benfica when they step into Fulham’s penalty box. Striker Nick Woltemade and winger Anthony Gordon have been finding their rhythm and could add two more points.
Arsenal try to cement their top spot
Arsenal, boosted by a strong run against Atlético Madrid, will test their form against Crystal Palace, whose forward Eberechi Eze now faces his former club at Emirates Stadium.
City and Villa prime each other
Aston Villa and Manchester City each enjoy a three‑game winning streak. Their meeting at Villa Park will be a key test, especially for City, who need a win to stay close to Arsenal in the title race.
Nottingham Forest hit by a tough trip
Sean Dyche, now in charge after Ange Postecoglou’s departure, won his first match but will face a difficult away game at Bournemouth. The hosts play fast‑paced football that could challenge a Forest side still settling after Europa League fixtures.
Everton vs. Tottenham edge closer
Everton line up a balanced clash with Tottenham Hotspur, a contest likely to see both sides play hard without a clear advantage.
Wolves desperate for a result
Wolverhampton’s manager Vitor Pereira has signed a new contract, but the club faces pressure after nine consecutive games without a win. A victory over Burnley could keep his job secure.
All six groups will battle for points, placement and prestige during this crucial mid‑season stretch, promising plenty of highlights for Premier League fans worldwide.
