The third round of the 2025/26 Premier League season is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the cracking clash between Liverpool and Arsenal.

Chelsea vs Fulham

Chelsea will take on Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to build on the win over West Ham United. The Blues picked up a comprehensive victory over West Ham in their last outing, and they will be confident of getting a good result here as well.

Enzo Maresca and his charges will be hoping to fight for major trophies this season, and they should be beating these teams if they want to compete with Europe’s elite. Meanwhile, Fulham, after their first two Premier League matches, will look to grind something out of this contest as well. The Cottagers have shown that they are difficult to beat, and it remains to be seen whether they can grind out a result here.

Chelsea have an impressive record against Fulham, and they are undefeated in 26 of the last 28 matches against Fulham. They are also undefeated in 10 of the last 11 matches in the Premier League. The home side will be the favourites heading into this contest.

Probable Bet: Chelsea win

Tottenham Hotspur vs Bournemouth

Tottenham Hotspur host Bournemouth in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive start to the season with a victory at home. Spurs are undoubtedly the better team on paper, and it will be interesting to see if they can grind out a positive result against the Cherries.

The North London outfit have scored at least twice in the last five home games against Bournemouth, and they will look to score against the opposition here as well. Meanwhile, Bournemouth are no pushovers, and they will look to make life difficult for the home team.

The Cherries were quite impressive on the opening day against Liverpool, and they picked up a victory over Wolves in their last Premier League game as well. Andoni Iraola’s men are unbeaten in the last two matches against Tottenham, and this will be a close contest. A double chance on the home team would be ideal.

Probable Bet: Spurs win or draw

Wolves vs Everton

Wolves host Everton in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to pick up their first win of the season. The Black Country outfit have lost the first two matches of the Premier League campaign, and they will be under pressure to grind out a victory here. It will be interesting to see if the players can step up their performance levels and bounce back strongly.

On the other hand, Everton have picked up two wins in a row in all competitions. After the opening day defeat against Leeds, they have shown improvement. They will certainly fancy their chances of getting a good result against a struggling Wolves side. It remains to be seen whether they can get the job done. Everton are the better team on paper, and they will be confident after the last two performances. A double chance on the visitors could be ideal.

Probable Bet: Everton win or draw

Sunderland vs Brentford

Sunderland host Brentford in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to bounce back from two consecutive defeats in all competitions. The Black Cats have been beaten by Burnley and Huddersfield Town in the last two matches. It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly. Regis Le Bris’s men started the season well with a comprehensive victory over West Ham, and they will look to get back to winning once again.

On the other hand, Brentford are coming into the game on the back of two consecutive victories in all competitions. They will be confident of grinding out a good result here. On paper, the Bees have a better team as well.

The West London outfit are unbeaten in the last three matches against Sunderland, and they will be the favourites here. They have scored at least twice in their last three matches against Sunderland, and the home team could struggle against them.

Probable Bet: Brentford win

Manchester United vs Burnley

Manchester United host Burnley in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to bounce back from the disappointing defeat against Grimsby Town. The Red Defvils are yet to win a game this season, and they will look to bounce back strongly.

On the other hand, Burnley have picked up two consecutive victories after the opening day defeat against Tottenham. They will certainly fancy their chances of upsetting the odds here. Manchester United have been quite vulnerable, and the visitors will feel that the home side is there for the taking. It remains to be seen whether Burnley can trouble them.

The last time these two teams met at Old Trafford, Burnley managed to grind out a draw. Meanwhile, Manchester United are undefeated in their last seven matches against Burnley, and a double chance on the home team would be ideal despite their recent form.

Probable Bet: Man United win or draw

Leeds United vs Newcastle United

Leeds United host Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to get back to winning ways. The Whites lost the last two matches in all competitions after the opening day win over Everton. Daniel Farke will demand a strong reaction from his players, and it will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly.

Newcastle United are yet to win in the Premier League this season, and they will come into this game on the back of a disappointing defeat against Liverpool. Leeds United will feel that they have a decent chance of getting a good result here, especially at home. It will be interesting to see if they can pile further misery on the Magpies. The Whites are unbeaten in five of the last six matches against Newcastle United.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have scored at least twice in nine of their last ten matches against Leeds United. This is likely to be a cracking contest and both teams are likely to get on the score sheet. 17 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between these two teams. A double chance on the home side could be ideal. A high-scoring game is also likely.

Probable Bet: Leeds win or draw/ BTTS/ Over 2.5 goals

Nottingham Forest host West Ham United in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to continue their impressive start to the season with a victory at home. The home team are unbeaten in the first two league matches, and they will certainly fancy their chances of getting a good result here.

The Tricky Trees are up against a struggling West Ham team. The East London club have lost three matches in a row, and they are completely devoid of form and confidence. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have three consecutive victories over West Ham in the league.

The hosts will be the favourites heading into this game, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the job done. West Ham are likely to struggle on current form, and they could end up with another defeat here.

Probable Bet: Nottingham Forest win

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City

The last two meetings between these two sides have ended in a draw, and it would not be a surprise if this one followed suit as well. It will be difficult to separate the two teams, and they are likely to cancel each other out.

Probable Bet: Draw/ BTTS/ Over 2.5 goals
