Premier league upsets, four matches to watch this weekend

After an international break, the Premier League returns with a fresh set of fixtures in Game Week 9, offering the potential for some surprising results. While some matches may seem predictable, football is often full of surprises. Here are four games with the potential to produce shock outcomes this weekend:

1. Liverpool vs Everton:

The Merseyside derby brings excitement and unpredictability. Liverpool might be the favorites, but Everton, under Sean Dyche, won’t be pushovers. They’ll likely employ a solid defensive strategy to frustrate the Reds while seeking counter-attacking opportunities. An upset could be brewing at Anfield.

2. Man City vs Brighton:

Pep Guardiola’s Man City had a rocky start before the international break, suffering a 1-0 loss to Arsenal. They’ll be eager to bounce back against Brighton at the Etihad. However, Brighton is no pushover, and they could pose a significant challenge for City. Guardiola’s side will need to be at their best to avoid a third consecutive league defeat.

3. Sheffield United vs Man Utd:

Manchester United hasn’t had a convincing start to the season, even in matches they’ve won. Their visit to Sheffield United presents an opportunity for the underperforming hosts to turn the tide. Bramall Lane could be a tricky ground for United as Sheffield United fights for survival.

4. Tottenham vs Fulham:

Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, has shown promise this season, dispelling doubts about their performance without Harry Kane. Currently topping the table on goal difference, they appear strong. However, Fulham could make this London Derby a thrilling contest, offering the potential for an exciting outcome under the lights.
