Arsenal return to Premier League action as league leaders and their form before the international break was highly convincing. Victories over West Ham and Olympiacos highlighted the squad depth and defensive strength, which is currently the best in the competition. The absence of captain Ødegaard and Jesus may limit creativity, but players like Saka and Martinelli remain ready to take responsibility. Fulham are still unbeaten at home and have already caused problems for Manchester United, proving Craven Cottage is never an easy trip. On the other hand, Arsenal traditionally perform well in London derbies away from home, with only one defeat in their last 18 such matches. Fulham’s major injury list, including Chukwueze, Jimenez and Lukic, significantly weakens their attacking options. Historically, Fulham struggle against Arsenal and have not kept a clean sheet in this fixture since 2008. The hosts may resist early pressure and try to threaten on the counter, but over 90 minutes, Arsenal’s quality and organisation should prevail. Arsenal are expected to confirm their dominance and take all three points.

Barcelona are coming off two painful defeats, one in La Liga against Sevilla and another in the Champions League against PSG. Returning to home soil against their regional rivals comes at a crucial time. Despite a long injury list including Lewandowski, Raphinha, Olmo and Gavi, coach Flick still has enough quality at his disposal to win this match. Youngster Lamine Yamal could feature and is considered a major offensive talent. Girona may sit in the relegation zone, but they have improved recently, defeating Valencia and going unbeaten in their last three league games. The head-to-head record is firmly in Barcelona’s favour, with the Catalans consistently scoring multiple goals against Girona. The visitors also miss several key players, including suspended Frances and injured Van de Beek, which reduces their chances further. The motivation to reclaim top spot before El Clásico will also be a significant factor. Expect strong attacking pressure from the opening whistle and controlled dominance throughout. Barcelona should have enough quality to win this one.

Marseille under Roberto De Zerbi have been outstanding and are among the main challengers to PSG’s title defence. They recorded four straight league wins before the break, including a memorable Le Classique victory, and boast both the best attack and defence in Ligue 1. They have won their last seven home league matches, underlining their dominance at the Stade Vélodrome. Le Havre, meanwhile, have been drawing frequently and earning points against teams like Rennes and Lorient, but their attack remains one of the weakest in the league. They have scored only one away goal all season and have lost nine consecutive league games away to Marseille, which highlights the gulf in class. Aubameyang has been in excellent form with four goals and three assists, posing a constant threat. The visitors are missing several attacking players, including Khadra and Samatta, further reducing their options. Although Marseille have a Champions League fixture ahead, the depth of the squad allows for rotation without losing quality. Considering form and statistics, they are overwhelming favourites. Marseille are expected to control and win this match comfortably.

Atletico Madrid have not had an ideal start to the season but remain in fifth place and are very difficult to beat at home. They have lost just once in their last five league matches and can rely on Antoine Griezmann, who continues to lead the attack despite several injuries. Osasuna have been a tricky opponent recently, winning two of their last three meetings with Atletico, including a sensational 4-1 victory in Madrid. Defensively, they are strong, conceding just eight goals — a better record than both Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their weakness lies in attack, relying heavily on veteran striker Budimir. Atletico will be eager to bounce back from a draw with Celta and reaffirm their home strength. Lenglet’s suspension weakens the defence, but Simeone still has enough options to build a solid back line. Patience and the ability to break down Osasuna’s organised defence will be key. Despite a potentially close contest, Atletico should find a way to win and claim three crucial points.

PSV have had mixed home results recently, starting with impressive attacking displays before a surprise defeat to Telstar and a draw against Ajax in De Topper. They remain reigning champions and still possess one of the strongest squads in the Eredivisie. Go Ahead Eagles have become a tricky opponent, having beaten PSV twice last season and pushing them hard in the Johan Cruyff Shield in August. They also score freely on the road — with eight away goals, they rank third in the league in that category. PSV, however, boast clear attacking quality, led by Veerman, Perisic and Saibari, all capable of deciding matches. The home side are missing several forwards, including Boadu and Pepi, but their depth remains impressive. Go Ahead have not won in Eindhoven since 1968, highlighting PSV’s historical dominance. If they can neutralise the visitors’ counterattacks, they should justify their favourite status. An entertaining, high-scoring match is expected, with PSV’s superior quality likely to be the deciding factor.
