The Premier League returns on Saturday with a handful of top teams in action, including Manchester City and Arsenal, looking for a third straight win to start the season.
Arsenal play the first match of the weekend, taking on high-flying Brighton and Hove Albion, who have also won their first two games of the season. This game will be an early litmus test for both sides and for Brighton in particular, especially after the 2-1 win over Manchester United last week. It also marks the first big test for Arsenal this season as they look to improve on their successive second-place finishes.
The day’s action concludes with Manchester City’s trip to West Ham United, another match in which the reigning champions are the big favourites. Erling Haaland has already started strongly this season, scoring four goals in two league games and is expected to play a big role on Saturday as Pep Guaridola’s side go for a fifth straight Premier League title.
Sunday, meanwhile, has the weekend’s headliner: Liverpool’s visit to Manchester United. The Red Devils will look to redeem themselves after a disappointing result at Brighton, but last season’s misery could continue for Erik ten Hag this season. It means they are not necessarily the favorites to beat their rivals at home, even if a bit of uncertainty continues to hang around Liverpool a few weeks into Arne Slot’s tenure at the club.
Here’s a look at Saturday’s Premier League schedule.
