Chelsea vs Fulham – Preview and predicted line-ups
Chelsea will lock horns with West London rivals Fulham in their third game of the Premier League 2025-26 season on Saturday. Chelsea produced an emphatic display as they came from a goal down to thrash West Ham 5-1 in their last outing.

Fulham – Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, King, Smith Rowe; Muniz
Wolves vs Everton – Preview and predicted line-ups
Wolves are yet to get off the mark in the new season, having suffered back-to-back defeats in their first two Premier League fixtures. They were thrashed 4-0 by City in their opener, before losing 1-0 to Bournemouth in their last game. Wolves will be eyeing a turnaround against Everton, who secured a comfortable 2-0 win against Brighton in their last outing in the Premier League, before beating Mansfield Town 2-0 in the EFL Cup on Thursday.

Spurs stunned Manchester City 2-0 in their last outing and will look to bag their third win in a row against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Manchester United vs Burnley – Preview and predicted line-ups
Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United will be desperately looking for their first win of the season after a disastrous start. United hit a new low in their embarrassing defeat to fourth-tier outfit Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup earlier this week and will look to start afresh against newly-promoted Burnley. United are winless in the Premier League this season and are yet to score a goal. There is immense pressure on Amorim, and a loss against Burnley might make matters worse for the United manager.
Predicted line-ups:
Manchester United – Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Sesko, Cunha
Burnley – Dubravka; Walker, Humphreys, Esteve, Ekdal, Hartman; Mejbri, Ugochukwu, Cullen, Anthony; Foster

Meanwhile, Brentford bounced back from their opening day defeat to Nottingham Forest with a 1-0 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Predicted line-ups:
Sunderland – Roefs; Mukiele, Seelt, Alderete, Reinildo; Diarra, Xhaka, Sadiki; Talbi, Mayenda, Adingra

Leeds United vs Newcastle United – Preview and predicted line-ups
Amid Alexander Isak’s transfer saga, 10-man Newcastle United produced a spirited display despite going 3-2 down against Liverpool.

They were thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal last week and lost on penalties against Sheffield United in the EFL Cup.
Predicted line-ups:
Leeds United – Perri; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Gruev, Longstaff; James, Piroe, Gnonto
