After a busy week of action in Europe, the Premier League returns as the top focus for clubs in England. Last week, Manchester City dropped points for the second game in a row after its draw at Newcastle. That opened the door for Arsenal to close the gap with City, and Liverpool usurped Pep Guardiola’s side for the top spot in the table. Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, on the back of Cole Palmer’s four-goal outburst, are also in the hunt.
By most accounts, those four clubs have straightforward contests on matchday seven. Liverpool travels to Crystal Palace, which has struggled early on this season, with three draws and three losses. Manchester City hosts Fulham, which could be a tricky game. However, a comfortable 4-0 win in the Champions League could get City back on track domestically. Arsenal and Chelsea also play home games, with the London duo facing Southampton and Nottingham Forest, respectively.
Therefore, we have to look elsewhere for marquee games. For most fans, that is Manchester United’s game against Aston Villa. United’s is historically out of form, and pressure on Erik ten Hag continues to rise. By comparison, Aston Villa defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League for a historic result. Villa Park will be rowdy once again on Sunday when a desperate United comes to town.
Also on Sunday, Brighton and Hove Albion hosts Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs bounced back from two Premier League losses on the spin with convincing results against Brentford and Manchester United. Brighton failed to win any of its Premier League games in September with three draws and a loss. The schedule does not get any easier for Brighton, which faces Spurs, Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City in its next five EPL games.
