The second matchday of the 2025/26 English Premier League season takes place this weekend, and the excitement is already building as teams look to build on perfect starts or lay down a marker after disappointing opening-day results.
We take a closer look at Saturday’s best booking codes as we attempt for another winning round of predictions after yesterday’s success!
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur both recorded statement victories in their opening fixtures, with the Citizens demolishing Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 and Spurs smashing Burnley 3-0.
Those results make this an enticing match-up on Saturday afternoon, and we expect it to be an action-packed encounter between two teams that have already shown they are capable of scoring plenty of goals.
While both looked strong on the opening day, Man City were particularly impressive – especially in a midfield that saw debutant Tijjani Reijnders steal the show – and with them also boasting the home advantage, we believe Pep Guardiola’s side will take the victory in this one, despite Tottenham’s recent history against Man City which includes a 4-0 win at the Etihad last season.

Brentford vs Aston Villa
Brentford had a disappointing opening day result against Nottingham Forest, losing 3-1 to their hosts, while Aston Villa managed to hold on to a 0-0 draw with Newcastle United in a match where the Villans were dominated.
Despite Unai Emery’s side struggling in their first game, the Villans are undoubtedly the stronger side coming into this clash with the Bees, especially as Brentford have lost a number of their most important players as well as Thomas Frank during a challenging summer.
With that in mind, we expect Aston Villa to be significantly improved on Saturday and comfortably secure all three points.

Bournemouth vs Wolves
Bournemouth may have lost 4-2 to Liverpool on the opening day of the season, but the Cherries had several moments where they showed their immense quality, particularly as Antoine Semenyo scored twice to bring the game level, though they did concede twice late on to lose the clash.
Meanwhile, Wolves were demolished 4-0 by Man City and looked extremely vulnerable in defence, particularly in several moments where the Citizens were able to quickly break forward.
Given Bournemouth thrived on these quick transitions against Liverpool in the first match, we believe the Cherries will make the most of their speed and power in attack.

Arsenal vs Leeds United
Arsenal finally landed their long-awaited striker signing during the summer as Gyokeres signed from Sporting Lisbon, and the Swede carries a massive reputation after a sensational time in Portugal.
The striker scored 97 goals in 102 appearances for the Portuguese side, and Gyokeres will be expected to score plenty of goals once again this season as Arsenal look to the forward to help lead them to the title.
While Gyokeres has a quiet debut against Manchester United, the forward thrives when he has space to run into, and after Leeds deployed a high pressing system against Everton in their opening-day 1-0 win, the striker should have plenty of room to race into in this one.
Given Arsenal should dominate and also create plenty of chances against the newly promoted side, expect Gyokeres to get off the mark for Arsenal.
