The Premier League returns for Match Day 10, and fans are set for another exciting round of fixtures. With Arsenal sitting at the top of the table and several big teams facing tricky tests, this weekend could deliver unexpected twists. While teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Manchester United are favorites on paper, football often produces surprises — and this weekend might be no different.
Let’s look at four matches where shock results could occur:
Nottingham Forest host Manchester United at the City Ground on Saturday evening. Forest are currently 18th after losing 2-0 to Bournemouth, while Manchester United got a 4-2 win over Brighton. Although United will be confident going into this game, Forest are desperate to climb out of the relegation zone and could use home support to frustrate the Red Devils and possibly earn a positive result.
Manchester City welcome Bournemouth to the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side surprisingly lost to Aston Villa in their last league match, while Bournemouth defeated Nottingham Forest. City are fifth on the log, while Bournemouth currently sit in second — an unusual sight. With momentum on Bournemouth’s side, they may fancy their chances of upsetting the former champions, even though it’s a difficult task on City’s home turf.
Liverpool take on Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday night. Arne Slot’s team slipped up against Brentford, while Villa claimed a big win over Man City. Liverpool are just above Villa in the table, but their recent inconsistency gives Unai Emery’s men hope. Villa have the quality and confidence to challenge the Reds and could shock the home crowd if they take their chances.
Burnley will battle Arsenal at Turf Moor. Burnley are 16th but just won against Wolves, while Arsenal sit top after beating Crystal Palace. On paper, Arsenal are favorites; however, Premier League matches at Turf Moor can be unpredictable. With the home supporters behind them, Burnley could make life difficult for the Gunners and aim to grab a surprise result.
