1. Chelsea’s Attack Grows Stronger
Chelsea are showing signs that they’re no longer depending solely on Cole Palmer. Against Bournemouth, they managed to grind out a win even with Palmer having a quiet game.
West Ham will need to be prepared for a Chelsea side that’s growing more unpredictable, with other players like Christopher Nkunku and Jadon Sancho stepping up.
2. Local Rivalry Heats Up: Wolves vs. Aston Villa
The Midlands derby between Wolves and Aston Villa is always one to watch, but this one has some extra spice.
Aston Villa are riding high after a strong start in the Premier League and Champions League, while Wolves are desperate to get their season going.
With local talents like Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey playing for Villa, this could be an emotional and intense match.
3. Smith Rowe’s Comeback
Emile Smith Rowe seems to be enjoying a new lease on life at Fulham. After a tough time at Arsenal, he’s flourishing under Marco Silva’s attacking style.
He’s already scored and assisted in recent games, and Fulham will be counting on him to deliver again when they face Newcastle this weekend.
Smith Rowe looks like he’s finally finding his form again, and it’s exciting to watch.

4. Everton’s Early Season Disaster
Everton are in serious trouble. After losing all their opening matches, their game against Leicester feels like a must-win.
They were expected to have an easy start to the season, but it’s gone horribly wrong. If they can’t pick up points soon, they could find themselves stuck in another relegation battle. The pressure is on, and Saturday’s game could make or break their season.
5. Núñez’s Chance to Shine for Liverpool
Darwin Núñez hasn’t quite hit his stride yet at Liverpool, often being used as a substitute. But with a Carabao Cup match against West Ham coming up, he has a real chance to show what he’s capable of.
Núñez is the kind of player who needs consistent game time to find his rhythm, and this could be his moment to become a regular starter for Liverpool.
6. Harwood-Bellis Bounces Back
Southampton’s Taylor Harwood-Bellis had a tough start to life in the Premier League, but a solid performance in the Carabao Cup has boosted his confidence.
With Jack Stephens suspended, Harwood-Bellis is likely to get another shot this weekend. His performance could be key for Southampton as they aim to tighten up their defense.
7. Tottenham’s Young Guns
Injuries are forcing Tottenham to dig into their youth squad, and teenagers Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall are grabbing the opportunity with both hands.
They impressed in the Carabao Cup, and now they could find themselves in the starting lineup against Brentford.
It’s always exciting to see young players get a chance, and these two could inject some much-needed energy into Spurs’ side.
8. Nketiah’s Moment at Crystal Palace
With key players like Michael Olise sidelined, Crystal Palace have been struggling. But Eddie Nketiah’s first goal for the club in midweek has given fans hope.
Palace need someone to step up, and Nketiah could be the man to lead their attack against Manchester United this weekend. A strong performance could establish him as a crucial player for Palace moving forward.
9. Forest’s Dynamic Duo: Hudson-Odoi and Elanga
Nottingham Forest’s win over Liverpool was largely thanks to the impact of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga off the bench.
Both players brought pace and width, and now they’re pushing for starting spots. As Forest take on Brighton this weekend, these two exciting wingers could be game-changers if they’re given the nod to start.
10. Foden’s Time to Shine for Man City
With Kevin De Bruyne possibly out due to injury, Phil Foden could be the key creative force for Manchester City as they face Arsenal.
Foden has proven he can step up in De Bruyne’s absence, and with City facing tough competition this weekend, all eyes will be on him to deliver.
