Premier League Fixtures This Weekend: Kick-Off Times in Irish Time

All times are Irish time. The clocks go back at 2am on Sunday 25 October, so Saturday kick-offs are in BST and Sunday kick-offs are in GMT.

Premier League Weekend Preview: Saturday Matches

Aston Villa vs Manchester City | Sat 24 Oct 12:30 | Villa Park, Birmingham

Aston Villa bring confidence into their home showdown against Manchester City on Saturday following three straight wins in all competitions, the latest a 3-1 Champions League win over Viking on Wednesday. However, the Citizens’ electric start to the 2026-27 season sees them sit top of the Premier League standings with a perfect record.

Enzo Maresca rested Erling Haaland in midweek, and Antoine Semenyo is expected to miss out on Saturday. Aston Villa should have Ian Maatsen back, but Matteo Ruggeri remains unavailable.

Villa have won their last three home games against Manchester City, a head-to-head record worth weighing alongside current form.

Coventry vs Fulham | Sat 24 Oct 15:00 | Coventry Building Society Arena, Coventry

Despite losing at Tottenham on Monday, Frank Lampard’s Coventry have made a reliable start to the season with wins in two of their previous three. Fulham finally recorded a first league victory of the campaign last Saturday, snapping a six-game winless run.

Jack Rudoni has been key for the Sky Blues in recent weeks, scoring twice in three appearances. Alex Iwobi will be important for the visitors after netting the winner against Hull.

Defensive issues have plagued both teams in the opening months, with Coventry allowing 14 goals and the visitors conceding ten. Therefore, the over/under market could be worth exploring on Saturday.

Arsenal vs Everton | Sat 24 Oct 15:00 | Emirates Stadium, London

Everton face the daunting prospect of a trip to the Premier League champions after losing their unbeaten record at the hands of Chelsea. Arsenal have bounced back quickly from a shock 3-0 loss against Brighton with wins in back-to-back league fixtures.

Mikel Arteta will be sweating on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, who was forced off in the midweek clash against Bayern Munich. The Tofees have drawn four of their seven league games this season.

The Gunners are unbeaten in their last seven against Everton, winning both encounters in 2025-26. Interestingly, both teams to score (BTTS) has finished “No” in three of the last four head-to-heads.

Chelsea vs Tottenham | Sat 24 Oct 17:30 | Stamford Bridge, London

Chelsea have returned to winning form after the international break, winning back-to-back encounters against Bournemouth and Everton. Tottenham’s wait for a first league win of 2026-27 ended on Monday against Coventry.

James Maddison’s return could be crucial for Spurs, as the attacking midfielder scored in the recent win. Chelsea will have injury issues to contend with this Saturday, as Reece James is set to miss months. The Blues have won four of their seven league games this season.

Tottenham’s record against Chelsea makes grim reading, as Spurs have lost six on the bounce against the Blues. Meanwhile, the visitors haven’t recorded an away league win against their London rivals since April 2018.

Premier League Weekend Preview: Sunday Matches

Hull vs Brentford | Sun 25 Oct 14:00 | MKM Stadium, Hull

For the first time since returning to the Premier League, Hull City will have questions to answer this weekend. The Tigers have failed to win in five, and have suffered two defeats in their previous three. Brentford will also be on the comeback trail following a 2-1 loss to Liverpool last Saturday.

The Bees could welcome back Kevin Schade from injury this weekend, which could prove crucial as the winger has scored three goals in his last six appearances. Oli McBurnie will be important for Hull, but the striker is yet to score in seven Premier League starts.

Goals have been common when these sides collide, with 14 scored in the previous three. Based on the fact that neither team have kept a clean sheet in their last two, the over/under markets could provide value on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Brighton | Sun 25 Oct 14:00 | Anfield, Liverpool

Red-hot Brighton have recorded wins in their previous four Premier League fixtures, and no team in the competition has scored more than their 23 goals in 2026-27. Liverpool are going from strength to strength under Andoni Iraola, winning their previous three in all competitions, the latest a 4-3 Champions League victory over Villarreal on Wednesday.

Iraola will be without defenders Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley this week, while the Seagulls are still missing Kaoru Mitoma.

With two of the hottest forward lines in action, over/under goals could be a standout betting angle this weekend. Liverpool have scored 12 in their previous three in all competitions, while Brighton have netted ten over the same period in the league.

Manchester United vs Bournemouth | Sun 25 Oct 14:00 | Old Trafford, Manchester

Manchester United are on their longest winless run since 2015, having gone seven without a victory in all competitions, including a 4-1 defeat at Como in the Champions League on Wednesday. Bournemouth will travel to Old Trafford with confidence following a first league win of the season against Sunderland last weekend.

With pressure increasing on Michael Carrick, his options for team selection will be limited, with Marcus Rashford, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, and Patrick Dorgu all ruled out. Bournemouth could welcome back Junior Kroupi from injury.

The fact that United have kept one clean sheet in eleven stands out, ensuring interest in BTTS. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have avoided defeat in six of their last seven against the Red Devils, which makes draw no bet a market worth looking at.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle | Sun 25 Oct 14:00 | Selhurst Park, London

The pressure ramped up on Pierre Sage last Sunday after a devastating 5-0 loss to local rivals Brighton. Matthias Jaissle will also need a positive result after overseeing three defeats in four at Newcastle, and they could face a fatigued host after Palace’s 2-2 draw with Besiktas in the Europa League on Thursday.

Newcastle have Will Osula and Joelinton available again after injury. The Eagles are expected to be without Dean Henderson, meaning Walter Benitez will keep his place in goal.

The Magpies’ issues on the road are clear, as they have allowed eight in their last two. Therefore, the Double Chance market could be worth looking at, with Crystal Palace avoiding defeat in their last five head-to-heads against Newcastle at Selhurst Park.

Sunderland vs Leeds | Sun 25 Oct 16:30 | Stadium of Light, Sunderland

A turbulent start to the league season sees Sunderland in the bottom three, and they’ll need to snap a four-game losing run. Leeds travel to the Stadium of Light after avoiding defeat in six of their opening seven Premier League fixtures.

Kevin Danso will be suspended this weekend after being sent off in last week’s defeat at Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Brian Brobbey remains unavailable. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been in excellent form for Leeds, scoring three in as many league starts.

The Black Cats will be without their main striker this weekend, which could hurt their chances of ending a run of failing to score in three of their previous four. Therefore, the both teams to score market could be worth a look on Sunday.

Premier League Betting Markets This Weekend: What to Look At

TonyBet will offer a range of betting markets for this weekend’s Premier League action. The match result market will be the most popular, with winnings paid if your selection is correct.

Draw No Bet could be a useful alternative, with the stake returned if the match ends level. It suits tight fixtures where a draw is a realistic outcome, such as Manchester United vs Bournemouth. Goals markets, like both teams to score (BTTS) and Over/Under, are also popular.

This could be a particularly interesting option in matches such as Liverpool vs Brighton and Chelsea vs Tottenham this weekend. The both teams to score market could also be worth a look in Sunderland vs Leeds, as the hosts have failed to score in back-to-back fixtures.
