Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend

This weekend’s Premier League action features a full slate of fixtures, including Brighton v Everton (Saturday 3pm), Leeds v Arsenal (Saturday 3pm), Wolves v Bournemouth (Saturday 3pm), Chelsea v West Ham (Saturday 5.30pm), Liverpool v Newcastle (Saturday 8pm), Aston Villa v Brentford (Sunday 2pm), Manchester United v Fulham (Sunday 2pm), Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace (Sunday 2pm), Tottenham v Manchester City (Sunday 4.30pm) and Sunderland v Burnley (Monday 8pm), all times GMT.

Brighton’s stop‑start season is underlined by a stoppage‑time loss to Fulham and only two away wins so far, and the Guardian notes Everton remain a bogey team at the Amex — Brighton have failed to beat David Moyes’s side at home since 2019. The piece also points out Brighton sit seven points behind fifth‑place Chelsea in the table provided.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke is praised for his personality but also his ruthlessness after recent goalkeeper changes; Farke said of Lucas Perri: “With Lucas, there’s a chance for him now to press the reset button,” and suggested there is a route back for the Brazilian. Bournemouth’s new signing Alex Toth made his debut after a £10.2m move from Ferencvaros; Ferencvaros coach Robbie Keane said Toth sent him a long message thanking him for changing his life.

West Ham’s switch to a 4-4-2 is credited with renewed energy, with Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos leading the line and wide players Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen benefitting.
