As another exciting weekend of English Premier League football approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be yet another captivating round of fixtures.
From title contenders looking to extend their dominance to underperforming sides in desperate need of positive results, there is set to be no shortage of storylines to follow as the weekend’s action unfolds.
We break down some of the best talking points ahead of the EPL matchday 10 action:
Faltering Forest take on momentum-building Manchester United
Nottingham Forest have won just one of their nine English Premier League fixtures this season, alongside two draws and six defeats, while they have only managed two victories in 13 fixtures across all competitions.
Despite a 2-0 win in Sean Dyche’s first game in charge against Porto, Forest looked lacklustre once again as they were beaten 2-0 by Bournemouth last weekend, and the manager will be looking for a significantly stronger performance as he aims for his first three points as Forest manager on Saturday.
However, the Tricky Trees take on a Manchester United side that have now won all of their last three English Premier League games, marking the first time they have achieved such a feat under Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese manager will be eager for his side to continue building that momentum with a win on Saturday, and the Red Devils will certainly be the favourites heading into the clash.
Can Arsenal extend their sensational streak
Arsenal have enjoyed a sensational start to the season, including sitting top of the English Premier League standings with 22 points after nine games, from seven wins, one draw and one defeat, leaving them with a four-point lead over second-placed Bournemouth.
The Gunners have won all of their last eight games across all competitions and are undefeated in their last 11 outings, while they have remarkably kept a clean sheet in all of their last six fixtures.
Mikel Arteta will be eager for his side to continue that stunning streak with another three points against Burnley on Saturday, with sights set on extending their lead at the top of the standings.

Tottenham take on Chelsea in fiery London derby
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have produced some of the fiercest matches in the English Premier League in recent years, most notably including the game now referred to as the ‘Battle of the Bridge’.
A similar level of aggression was seen in November 2023 when Tottenham were handed two red cards, while their last meeting at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium also produced a stunning match that contained seven goals, with Chelsea eventually recording a dramatic 4-3 win.
Now with another game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as well as with both teams aiming to rebound from recent disappointing results, this clash promises to be one to watch this weekend.
Languishing Liverpool must respond
After a stunning start to the season that saw Liverpool win all of their first seven games across all competitions, the Reds have seen their form fall off a cliff in recent weeks, with Arne Slot’s side having lost six of their last seven games across all competitions.
That includes the champions losing all of their last four English Premier League games, seeing them fall to seventh in the standings and already seven points behind league leading Arsenal, meaning Liverpool must quickly respond and recover their form if they are to have any chance of defending their title. The same could also be said for Slot’s job, as any further run of defeats could leave the managers position at the club in doubt, meaning this game against Aston Villa could prove to be a turning point in Liverpool’s season.
