It might not seem like the best fixtures but there are some hectic battles on show.

Pep’s men haven’t been struggling to get in on goal but more have not buried the chances made. Howe and his men will try their best to take points from a Man City team they cannot match.

The early game goes to a Bournemouth team finding it hard to get points on the board. Asking a lot from them to take points from attack frenzy, Man City.

Newcastle vs West Ham; and Crystal Palace vs Swansea City; are in it to win it! All clubs have been below par and have put in dismal performances since the start of the season. They must turn things around and get away from the relegation zone.

Stunning Saturday fixtures:

Saturday 26 Aug

Bournemouth

Vs

Man City Watford

Vs

Brighton Newcastle

Vs

West Ham Crystal Palace

Vs

Swansea City Huddersfield

Vs

Southampton Man United

Vs

Leicester City

Of the three, the best face off has to be Newcastle taking on West Ham. All the signings has not done enough to change their poor attitude and form on the pitch. Red cards and penalties will be looming in this one.

Watford can make it two in a row with them playing a goalless Brighton. However, Brighton has a new bullet in the chamber, Jose Izquierdo. The Club Brugge winger will inject pace into the Brighton attack and cause trouble as an unknown player.

Huddersfield and Man United, the perfect pair, has the chance to take full advantage of playing at home. Both clubs can make it three for three in front of their home support. Wagner’s men with all the confidence oozing out them, unlike the Saints, who are having a stuttering start with their new manager in charge.

Jose and his Men are the team to beat this early on in the season and have been exciting to watch thus far. Leicester City hasn’t been bad in their last two fixtures and has put the ball at the back of the net, five times already. Expecting a lot of goals at Old Trafford later this evening.

A stunning Saturday on our hands indeed, after looking closely at what’s at stake so early in the season. No excuse to leave the tele and miss the football we have at our disposal.
