EPL Game Week 7: Five fixtures primed for surprise results this weekend
Premier League returns this weekend after midweek European games, with five fixtures poised for possible shocks. Chelsea travel to an unbeaten Everton side looking to halt the Toffees’ run. Manchester City, still smarting from a 4-2 Champions League loss to Paris Saint‑German and a narrow win over Sunderland, host Ipswich Town, who kicked Fulham out of the league last weekend and arrive confident. At Elland Road, Leeds United host a struggling Manchester United side that drew with ten‑man Tottenham then lost to Atlético Madrid with ten men; the home crowd could lift Leeds to a vital win. Nottingham Forest, needing three points after a loss at Crystal Palace, welcome Arsenal, who have only one defeat so far but often start games slowly. Finally, Brentford host Liverpool after the Reds’ 3‑0 thrashing by Manchester City ended Ander Iraola’s unbeaten streak across Bournemouth and Liverpool, despite a convincing Champions League win at LASK. These matchups offer Nigerians watching the EPL chances to see upsets that could shift title, top‑four and relegation battles—watch for Ipswich’s counter‑attack, Leeds’ home intensity, Forest’s resilience and Brentford’s organised defence as potential giants‑killers.
