EPL: 4 fixtures that could see shock results this weekend

With European football out of the way until 2025, it is time to turn the focus to the Premier League.

The pick of the bunch is Manchester City playing Manchester United at the Etihad.

This could easily be a season-defining Derby, with both teams struggling for any type of form and momentum.

However, before the fixture on Sunday, there are games fans could see upsets.

1. Arsenal vs Everton: Last time out, Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Fulham. Although they put three goals past Monaco in the Champions League in midweek, Mikel Arteta’s men could have easily scored double that time. With the Gunners, it is either they are not creating enough or their finishing is poor. And this could cost them against Everton.

2. Liverpool vs Fulham: Under Arne Slot, Liverpool hardly drop points. However, their only loss this season has been at home against Nottingham Forest. The visitors to Anfield this weekend will be Fulham, who have been in fine form this season and took points off Arsenal in their previous league fixture. Marco Silva’s men will be eyeing another big scalp again.

3. Chelsea vs Brentford: One of the stats that has gone under the radar, is that Brentford have scored the most goals at the GTech Stadium. The trio of Bryan Mbeumo, Yoanne Wissa and Kevin Schade have been in fine form and will be a threat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca will be hoping his shaky defence can hold up.

4. Southampton vs Tottenham: Despite sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table, Southampton are a very decent side. They have mostly be undone by overplaying it at the back and not being clinical enough upfront. This weekend, they welcome out-of-sorts Tottenham, who are almost unable to win a football match these days and could get a point or more.
