English Premier League Matchday 10 Preview (November 1–2, 2025) – 1.-2.11. 2025

Brighton vs Leeds United (01.11.2025, 16:00)

Tip: Brighton to win

After two disappointing matches against United and Arsenal, Brighton are looking to return to winning ways, and a home game against Leeds should be the perfect opportunity. Despite long-standing defensive issues, the Seagulls’ attacking ability, led by the in-form Danny Welbeck, remains among the league’s best. At the Amex Stadium, Brighton traditionally keeps Leeds at bay, which adds to their confidence even after a busy schedule. Leeds under Daniel Farke play active football, but their finishing has been their weakness – they created plenty of chances in October but scored very few goals. Although Leeds managed to beat West Ham last week, they remain vulnerable away from home and often fail to maintain their tempo for 90 minutes. Brighton have more control in midfield and transition, which could prove decisive. The injury situation is complicated, but Hürzeler still has enough attacking options. Leeds’ lack of consistency in attack and their poor away record on the South Coast are worrying signs. Considering current form and confidence, Brighton should have enough to secure all three points.

Burnley vs Arsenal (01.11.2025, 16:00)

Tip: Arsenal to win

Arsenal are riding an impressive run of eight consecutive wins and continue to demonstrate their quality even when Arteta rotates his squad. The Gunners dominate games through organisation, control the tempo and, thanks to their outstanding defensive structure, are one of the hardest teams to break down. Burnley have recently picked up two wins, but both came against sides in the bottom half of the table – not the same level of opposition as the Premier League leaders. Scott Parker’s side will try to start aggressively, but Arsenal’s midfield, led by Rice and Ødegaard, can neutralise that threat. The visitors have also won their last thirteen league games against newly promoted sides, showing their discipline and experience. Burnley can be dangerous on transitions, but their defensive instability remains a problem, which could open up spaces for Trossard or Saka. Arsenal have greater squad depth, and even with some absentees should control the rhythm of the match. Their pressing and quick interchanges in the final third will be key at Turf Moor. Burnley might grab a goal, but the quality gap between these two teams is too large.

Crystal Palace vs Brentford (01.11.2025, 16:00)

Tip: Crystal Palace to win

This will be a clash of contrasting styles between two spirited mid-table teams – the physical approach of Palace against the structured football of Brentford. The home side return to league action full of confidence after a morale-boosting EFL Cup victory at Anfield. Mateta is almost unstoppable at home, and if given space in the box, he can decide the match. Under Oliver Glasner, Palace have built a strong home record at Selhurst Park, where they remain unbeaten this season. Brentford have improved under Keith Andrews with two straight league wins and play with more freedom, but their away form is still unconvincing. Andrews prefers to attack through the flanks and set pieces, but the absence of Milambo and Dasilva removes some creativity from midfield. Palace are better organised and exert more pressure in the attacking third, which could be decisive. A tight contest is expected, likely to be settled by a single key moment in the second half. The home crowd often plays a huge role at Selhurst Park, and that energy could once again make the difference.

Fulham vs Wolverhampton (01.11.2025, 16:00)

Tip: Fulham to win

Fulham desperately need to end their run of four straight defeats, and returning to Craven Cottage gives them an ideal chance to bounce back. Marco Silva’s side have struggled defensively but look far more composed and fluid when playing at home. Wolves are still waiting for their first league victory, and the psychological pressure is growing with every match. Pereira’s team concede soft goals and often lose focus late in games – a weakness Fulham can exploit. If Traoré and Iwobi start, the hosts will have pace and width, adding more threat in the final third. The absence of several Wolves defenders will make Silva’s high pressing even more effective. The visitors rely heavily on the individual talent of Hwang Hee-chan, but their attacking transitions remain too slow. Leno’s consistency in goal and Fulham’s experience in tight matches could prove decisive. With the home crowd behind them and the motivation to end their slump, Fulham should take all three points.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United (01.11.2025, 16:00)

Tip: Manchester United to win

Forest, under new manager Sean Dyche, are still struggling to find their rhythm, and their attack looks toothless without Chris Wood. They have failed to win any of their last four league games and have not scored a single goal in that stretch, which is alarming. Manchester United, on the other hand, are improving rapidly, with three consecutive league wins and growing confidence under Ruben Amorim. The front line, featuring Mbeumo and Cunha, is starting to click and can exploit the gaps in Forest’s fragile defence. Dyche’s defensive approach has brought more structure but very little creativity going forward. United should dominate possession and rely on their superior individual quality, especially with Maguire’s return to the starting eleven. Amorim’s work has brought stability and calmness to the squad, which is now reflecting in performances. Forest will try to fight with energy and long balls, but United’s tactical maturity and form give them the edge. Considering the current trajectory of both teams, the visitors are strong favourites to win.

Tottenham vs Chelsea (01.11.2025, 18:30)

Tip: Tottenham to win

The London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea promises a high-tempo and emotional encounter. Despite an extensive injury list, Spurs remain third in the table and continue to show strong character, highlighted by their recent win over Everton. Van de Ven is a defensive leader, while Kolo Muani and Kudus provide offensive versatility and creativity. Chelsea come into the match after a dramatic cup win, but Maresca’s young team continue to struggle for consistency in the league, particularly at home. They can, however, be dangerous on their travels thanks to their energetic and fearless style. Tottenham, under Thomas Frank, play with greater cohesion and belief in their system, whereas Chelsea are still searching for their best combination. A moment of brilliance or a set piece could decide the match, as both teams are evenly matched on paper. Spurs’ team spirit and attacking sharpness may ultimately prove decisive. Chelsea’s counterattacks can threaten, but their defensive instability remains a recurring issue.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa (01.11.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Double chance – Aston Villa or draw

Liverpool are going through their worst spell in recent years, losing four league matches in a row and clearly struggling for confidence. Arne Slot’s system has yet to deliver results, the defence looks disjointed, and the team remains overly dependent on Mohamed Salah. Aston Villa, by contrast, are one of the most in-form sides in the league, having won four consecutive games and recently beating Manchester City – a result that boosted their belief that they can challenge anyone, even at Anfield. Liverpool’s injury problems further weaken their transitions and defensive structure. Villa play with great organisation and intensity, pressing high and exploiting mistakes with quick counterattacks. They have a well-balanced setup and can adjust their approach depending on the match situation. While Salah can always change a game, the overall momentum and tactical discipline are on Villa’s side. Emery’s side look structured, efficient, and confident enough to end their long winless run at Anfield or at least claim a valuable draw.

West Ham vs Newcastle (02.11.2025, 15:00)

Tip: Newcastle United to win

West Ham are in deep crisis, and new coach Nuno Espírito Santo has so far failed to reverse their decline. The team looks uncertain in defence, lacks creativity in midfield, and has conceded more goals than any other side this season. Newcastle, meanwhile, look solid and organised, even though they have yet to secure an away win this season. Eddie Howe’s men rely on a compact backline that allows them to control games even against top opponents. The attacking trio led by Gordon and Joelinton provides constant movement and physical presence, especially against weaker defences. Nick Pope’s form in goal and the team’s strength on set pieces are major assets. West Ham’s injury list, including Fullkrug, reduces their options in attack. Newcastle play with confidence and may finally end their away drought here. The hosts will likely defend deep, but the visitors’ superior quality and discipline should prevail.

Manchester City vs Bournemouth (02.11.2025, 17:30)

Tip: Manchester City to win

Manchester City may have looked slightly vulnerable in recent weeks, but at the Etihad they remain dominant. Guardiola has a full squad available again, including Erling Haaland, who is expected to start after returning from injury. Bournemouth are enjoying their best-ever start to a Premier League season, but visits to the Etihad have historically been disastrous for them. Iraola’s team plays with courage and an aggressive pressing style, but against City this could easily backfire. Haaland, Foden, and Rodri can exploit even the smallest gaps between the lines. Bournemouth have found a gem in Eli Junior Kroupi, whose form deserves respect, yet the home side’s pace and experience are on another level. City need to react after recent league setbacks, and at home they usually manage such matches with ease. Expect dominant possession, patient buildup, and gradual pressure that should eventually wear down the visitors.

Sunderland vs Everton (03.11.2025, 21:00)

Tip: Sunderland to win

Sunderland’s return to the Premier League has been defined by bold football and consistent performances. The home side are dangerous both in transitions and from set pieces, while Everton struggle in every phase of the game. The visitors have failed to build on last season’s progress and look flat, especially away from Goodison Park. Sunderland’s young core plays with energy and fearlessness, and their pressing frequently unsettles opponents. Everton try to simplify their play, but they lack creativity and pace in attack. The hosts are better organised, more confident, and play with greater intensity – all key factors in tight fixtures. If Sunderland maintain their focus, they can control the game from the outset. Their defensive discipline has improved noticeably in recent weeks, which further strengthens their case. Everton appear tired and uninspired, and in matches like this, that can be decisive. Sunderland have every reason to believe they can take all three points.
