Manchester United and Manchester City renew their bitter rivalry in a mouthwatering Sunday showdown on Premier League Matchday 10.

Check out our statistical guide to all 10 of this weekend's games.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham (Friday, 8pm, Sky Sports)

Table-topping Tottenham will go five points clear at the summit — temporarily at least — should they extend their excellent record over fellow Londoners Crystal Palace.

The visitors have won 13 of the last 16 league meetings between the pair, while Ange Postecoglou is looking to become the first Spurs manager to go unbeaten in their first six away games as boss since Arthur Rowe in 1949.

This contest will be Roy Hodgson's 500th in charge of an English club but his record against Tottenham is dire. The 76-year-old has won only one of his 20 top-flight battles with them, losing 13.

Chelsea vs Brentford (Saturday, 12.30pm, TNT Sports)

Chelsea carried a strong attacking threat in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal

Reinvigorated Chelsea will be out to set the record straight against fellow West Londoners Brentford.

Remarkably, the Bees have won both of their Premier League trips to Stamford Bridge and are unbeaten in three head-to-head clashes with the Blues, scoring six goals in those games and conceding only one.

However, Mauricio Pochettino's hosts have won more points (seven) and scored more goals (eight) in their last three league outings than they managed in the previous nine. 

Arsenal vs Sheffield United (Saturday, 3pm)

Arsenal are the masters of overcoming promoted sides, which spells bad news for struggling Sheffield United.

The Gunners are unbeaten in 36 games against teams who have just come up into English football's top tier — a run stretching back to November 2010.

Paul Heckingbottom's beleaguered Blades are still without a win this term and must stay switched on late here — the hosts have scored a league-high six times in the last 15 minutes this term, while the visitors have conceded eight in that timeframe.

Bournemouth vs Burnley (Saturday, 3pm)

It may be early in the campaign for a six-pointer but losing this contest could have severe consequences for Bournemouth or Burnley.

The hosts are still seeking a first win under Andoni Iraola and have lost all three games in which they have opened the scoring, while their six goals is the division's lowest tally.

Vincent Kompany's Clarets are also struggling badly but they do have a fine record against the Cherries, winning six of the last eight meetings including their last three top-flight away trips to the Vitality Stadium.

Wolves vs Newcastle (Saturday, 5.30pm, Sky Sports)

Newcastle have refound their swagger in recent weeks

Newcastle must brush off Champions League disappointment quickly when they travel to Wolves in Saturday's late kick-off.

The Magpies fell to defeat against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday but have taken 13 points from their last five Premier League games — leading the division for goals scored (24), expected goals (19.9), shot conversion (18.9%) and big chances created (37).

Gary O'Neil's hosts are in fine form themselves, however. Unbeaten in four, red-hot Pedro Neto's six assists is the division's joint-top tally alongside Toon full-back Kieran Trippier.

West Ham vs Everton (Sunday, 1pm, Sky Sports)

A busy Sunday kicks off when West Ham welcome struggling Everton to the London Stadium.

Though the Toffees only have seven points on the board, their away record against the Hammers offers encouragement — 12 victories is more than they have managed against any other Premier League opponent.

However, the hosts have won four of the last six meetings and Jarrod Bowen has three goals in as many appearances against the Merseysiders, including a brace in last season's 2-0 win.

Aston Villa vs Luton (Sunday, 2pm)

Aston Villa have been flawless at home so far this term

Aston Villa and Luton meet in a league fixture for the first time in over 31 years.

Though the Hatters have competed admirably in the top tier since their surprise promotion, they are still without a clean sheet this term and that looks a huge worry against their prolific hosts.

Villa have bagged a remarkable 17 goals in their first four home games. In Premier League history, only Manchester City have ever bettered that total (18 in 2017-18 and 20 in 2022-23).

Brighton vs Fulham (Sunday, 2pm)

On a high from their maiden European victory, Brighton will now look to seal a first ever Premier League win over Fulham.

Publicidad

Surprisingly, the Cottagers are six without defeat against the Seagulls in the top flight (three wins, three draws) but Marco Silva's men have lost their last five Sunday fixtures.

The home side are winless in three league outings, which is their longest such streak since Roberto De Zerbi failed to land three points in his first five games in charge.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest (Sunday, 2pm)

All the omens suggest Nottingham Forest have little hope of leaving Liverpool with a precious three points on Sunday.

The Reds are unbeaten in their last 24 home league games versus Forest, last losing in 1969, while no away side has won in any of this pair's 12 Premier League meetings.

Home midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is yet to register a league assist for the Reds but the Hungarian's 21 chances created this term ranks higher than any of his team-mates.

Manchester United vs Manchester City (Sunday, 3.30pm, Sky Sports)

The Manchester giants collide in this weekend's finale with Pep Guardiola chasing a record fifth win at Old Trafford as a Premier League opposition manager.

Though both sides have their fair share of happy memories in this colossal fixture, the visitors do hold the edge recently, winning on seven of their last 12 visits to their bitter rivals.

If the Red Devils are to match last term's 2-1 triumph, Bruno Fernandes will be key — the Portuguese ace is looking to become the first United player to score in three straight derbies since Paul Scholes in 2004.
