The English Premier League resumes this weekend following the September international break, as Matchday 4 fixtures get underway.
Kicking off the weekend’s action, Arsenal will take on Nottingham Forest in Saturday’s early afternoon match at the Emirates Stadium, scheduled for 12:30 pm.
One of the most anticipated clashes of the weekend is the Manchester Derby, with Manchester City welcoming rivals Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday evening. Pep Guardiola’s side will look to maintain their dominance in this high-stakes encounter.
Meanwhile, here are three fixtures that could produce unexpected outcomes:
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest
Both sides are coming off losses prior to the break—Arsenal suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, while Nottingham Forest were comfortably beaten 3-0 by West Ham. Although Arsenal are favorites to secure their first win of the season at home, Forest will be aiming to upset the odds. With new manager Ange Postecoglou at the helm, the visitors could spring a surprise if they execute their game plan effectively.
Brentford vs Chelsea
After a 2-0 home win over Fulham, Chelsea will be keen to continue their upward momentum. However, Brentford—despite losing to Sunderland before the break—remain a tough opponent at the Gtech Community Stadium. With the home crowd behind them, the Bees will look to bounce back and test the Blues in what could be a tightly contested affair.
Burnley vs Liverpool
Liverpool will travel to Turf Moor in search of back-to-back victories, having narrowly defeated Arsenal 1-0 in their previous match. Burnley, however, pushed Manchester United in a 3-2 loss and are unbeaten at home across all competitions this season. Arne Slot’s side will need to be cautious, as the Clarets may prove difficult to break down and could potentially pull off a shock result against the league leaders.
