Just as in the Champions League, one team is leading the pack in the Premier League. Arne Slot's Liverpool is having an extraordinary season, with genuine hopes for both the English title and European glory. The Reds, fresh off a 4-0 win over Leverkusen in Europe, will need to maintain their momentum as they face Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday (6:30 PM). The Villains, still reeling from a recent defeat to Club Brugge, are also looking to bounce back after last week’s loss to Tottenham and hope to avoid losing further ground in the standings.
Manchester City, sitting in second place, faces a challenging away game amid one of the toughest spells under Guardiola's management. They’ll visit Brighton (Saturday at 4:00 PM), a team known for rising to the occasion against top clubs. With three consecutive losses across the Carabao Cup, Premier League, and Champions League, Haaland and his teammates can’t afford any more slip-ups.
On Sunday, it’s Tottenham and Manchester United’s turn, both coming off contrasting experiences in the Europa League. Spurs failed to secure a fourth consecutive victory in the former UEFA Cup, with a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray leaving them trailing Lazio, who remain undefeated with 12 points. United, on the other hand, celebrated their first win, inspired by Diallo's brace against PAOK. This weekend, both face relatively manageable opponents: United hosts Leicester, who they recently beat 5-2 in the Carabao Cup, while Tottenham takes on Ipswich.

Matchday 11 in the Premier League will conclude with a major showdown at Stamford Bridge, the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal. This will be a true head-to-head, as both teams currently sit tied in fourth place with 18 points. The victor will gain a valuable advantage in the standings. The Blues come off an 8-0 rout over Armenia’s Noah FC in the Conference League, a win that kept Maresca’s team at the top alongside Heidenheim, Rapid Vienna, Legia Warsaw, Jagiellonia, and Vitoria Guimaraes. Meanwhile, the Gunners are facing a rough patch, with three losses in their last four matches across league and Champions League, including setbacks to Newcastle last Saturday and Inter on Wednesday.
