Bournemouth heads into the South Coast derby after two straight Premier League defeats, both without scoring. They haven’t lost three consecutive top-flight games without netting since the end of the 2022/23 season, so a goal may be expected here.

As newly-promoted Ipswich heads into this weekend, they find themselves among six teams yet to secure a victory in the Premier League this season. A failure to clinch three points against Aston Villa would extend their winless streak to seven matches across all competitions, marking their worst run since September 2021.

Two winless Premier League sides meet this weekend as Everton (D1, L4) host Crystal Palace (D3, L2) at Goodison Park. Despite a promising first half against Leicester last weekend, where Everton fired off ten goal attempts and led 1-0 at the break, they eventually succumbed and dropped points again.

Wolves head into matchday six as one of six Premier League teams yet to register a win this season, a record number in top-flight history after five games. Gary O’Neil’s side has struggled, earning just one point (D1, L4) and conceding 14 goals, the joint-highest in the league.

Arsenal came agonizingly close to defeating Manchester City last weekend, only to concede a last-minute equalizer in a dramatic 2-2 draw. Playing with ten men for most of the match, they still managed to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season (W3, D2).

Nottingham Forest have surprised many by remaining unbeaten after their opening five Premier League games (W3, D2). Their 2-2 draw against an undefeated Brighton side last weekend showcased their resilience, extending their unbeaten away record to five matches—something they last achieved in 1995.

Chelsea appear to have found their rhythm after a heavy summer investment, accumulating ten points from their opening five league games (W3, D1, L1). Three of those wins came from their last four outings, including a dominant 3-0 victory at West Ham.

Brentford’s defensive issues continued last weekend with a 3-1 loss to Tottenham, marking their sixth game this season without a clean sheet. This defeat dropped them into the bottom half of the table. At Brentford Community Stadium, where all six of their Premier League points have been collected, they will face fellow London strugglers West Ham United.

Newcastle United’s 3-1 defeat at Fulham raised questions about possible internal unrest, a concern Eddie Howe will want to address as his team faces defending champions Manchester City. Before the Fulham setback, Newcastle were unbeaten in five matches across all competitions (W4, D1).

Manchester City and Arsenal face off in a highly anticipated match, which, while not decisive this early, could have major title implications. Last season, City edged out Arsenal by just two points to claim their fourth consecutive Premier League crown, underlining the importance of this clash.

Brighton’s new manager, Fabian Hürzeler, has made an impressive start, and now he has the chance to make club history. Brighton have never gone unbeaten in their first five games of a top-flight season, but that is now within reach.

Crystal Palace will be looking to build on their recent EFL Cup win over QPR (2-1) to kickstart their Premier League campaign. The Eagles have struggled in the league so far, failing to win any of their first four matches (D2, L2), which marks their worst start since the 2017/18 season.

Union Berlin have made an excellent start to the Bundesliga season, remaining unbeaten with one win and two draws (W1, D2). Their strong defensive record is highlighted by conceding just one goal, the fewest in the league. However, their scoring has been limited, with only two goals so far, suggesting their games have been rather uneventful.

Tottenham and Brentford will need to bounce back quickly after their midweek EFL Cup matches, with Spurs especially feeling the pressure during a stretch of seven games in 22 days. Tottenham’s struggles against top-six rivals continued with a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, marking their sixth consecutive Premier League defeat as underdogs.

Southampton’s return to the Premier League has been nothing short of frustrating, with the Saints suffering four consecutive defeats, their most recent coming against Manchester United. Both Southampton and Everton are yet to collect a point this season.

Liverpool's perfect start to the season under Arne Slot came to an unexpected halt with a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their last Premier League outing. The Reds quickly rebounded, showing their resilience in the UEFA Champions League by overturning an early deficit to beat AC Milan 3-1.

Leicester City and Everton both find themselves winless heading into this Premier League clash, with Leicester experiencing a frustrating start to their top-flight return (D2, L2). Their recent 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace added to their misfortunes, including controversy over a disallowed goal.

Fulham come into this match after a tough week, having been denied victory in the dying moments against West Ham in a game they largely dominated. To add to their frustration, they were eliminated from the League Cup after an extraordinary 16-15 penalty shootout defeat to Preston.

Aston Villa continued their impressive start to the season with a dominant 3-0 win over Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League, marking their return to Europe's elite competition for the first time since the 1980s. This result followed their thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Everton in the Premier League.

West Ham are struggling to gain momentum in the Premier League, having only secured one win in their first four matches (D1, L2), which is part of a larger run of just three victories in their last 15 league outings (D5, L7). Their 1-1 draw at Fulham last weekend was salvaged by a 95th-minute equaliser, highlighting the ongoing frustrations under Julen Lopetegui’s management.

The international break arguably came at an unfortunate time for Bournemouth, who, after drawing their first two matches, became the first Premier League team to win despite being two goals down at the 87th minute, securing a 3-2 victory over Everton. Manager Andoni Iraola admitted that Everton “deserved to win,” but his late attacking substitutions were widely praised.

This weekend’s Premier League action promises exciting matchups, as teams continue to settle into their campaigns. Key fixtures feature top contenders and teams striving for early-season points, offering intense competition and the chance for fans to witness great football.
