Shock Alert: Four fixtures likely to produce unexpected results in EPL

By the end of this weekend, one-third of the Premier League season will already be completed.

The biggest match is the top-of-the-table clash between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Many fans believe this game will show whether Mikel Arteta’s team can run away with the title or if Chelsea are real title challengers.

Before that match, there are other games where we might see surprising results:

1. Man City vs Leeds

Manchester City failed to keep up with the league leaders last weekend after losing 2–1 to Newcastle United. This week, they face an unpredictable Leeds United at home. City struggle a lot when Erling Haaland doesn’t score, so they could drop points again.

2. Tottenham vs Fulham

Tottenham are coming from two painful defeats — a 4–1 loss in the North London Derby and a 5–3 defeat to PSG in the Champions League. Their home form this season has not been good, and Fulham can be a tricky opponent. Spurs could slip up again.

3. Crystal Palace vs Man Utd

One of Manchester United’s worst results this season was losing 1–0 to Everton, even after Everton went down to 10 men early in the match.

United looked toothless in attack and seemed unlikely to score even if the game continued for hours. Now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league. It could be another rough outing for United.

4. West Ham vs Liverpool

Arne Slot dominated the league in his first season, but this campaign has been a tough one for the Liverpool manager. Liverpool have lost 9 of their 12 matches so far.

West Ham are improving under Nuno Espírito Santo, and this match could bring another bad result for the defending champions.
