Posted by Following the hiatus for international competition, the English Premier League (EPL) resumes.
This next weekend, the Premier League will begin its fourth matchday.
On Saturday afternoon, at a rather early hour, Southampton will play host to Manchester United.
Afterwards, Liverpool will play host to Nottingham Forest at Anfield in the evening, following Manchester United’s match against Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Tonight, Bournemouth will play host to Chelsea, and Manchester City will welcome Brentford at Etihad Stadium.
Nevertheless, with several intriguing matches to look forward to this weekend, fans and commentators are discussing the possibility of some surprising outcomes.
Southampton will face Man United in the first match. Prior to the international break, both teams’ last Premier League games were losses to Brentford and Liverpool.
Man Utd fell 3-0 at home to Liverpool, and Southampton lost 3-1 away to Brentford. United are the odds-on favorites to defeat Southampton and earn their second victory of the season.
It could be a hard-fought matchup between Erik ten Hag’s Red Devils and Southampton, who are both seeking a win. The Saints will be hoping to capitalize on their home field advantage.
Manchester City, meanwhile, will be hoping for an easy home victory against Brentford, but they must not undervalue their opponent.
In their most recent match, Brentford prevailed over Southampton. This might be a huge help for Pep Guardiola’s squad this weekend as they play the visitors at the Etihad Stadium, where they’ll be looking to avoid defeat.
When Liverpool hosts Nottingham Forest at Anfield, they’ll be aiming for a dominant showing. In their most recent match, Arne Slot’s squad cruised past Manchester United, while Nottingham Forest and Wolves battled to a draw. The visitors have not lost a game this season, so Liverpool will be cautious.
In Saturday night’s match against the host, Forest has a chance to take a well-deserved scalp.
In their last match, Chelsea and Bournemouth played to a 1-1 draw. Tonight, Chelsea will be looking to get back on track against Bournemouth. The crowd at the Vitality Stadium could be surprised to see a closer game than expected, given Bournemouth’s recent 3-2 away triumph against Everton.
