The Premier League resumes after the international break with Matchweek 6 delivering a headline-grabbing set of fixtures, led by the Liverpool vs Manchester City showdown at Anfield on Sunday, 11 October 2026. Manchester City enter the weekend as the only side with a perfect record — five wins from five — while several other clubs are chasing their first victories of the 2026/27 season.

Liverpool vs Manchester City: The Anfield Decider

Manchester City arrive at Anfield seeking to extend a remarkable run. City won both league meetings against Liverpool last season, becoming the first visiting side to record successive league wins at Anfield since January 1953, according to Jio Star data. A win on Sunday would also make them the first side to win consecutive league matches at the ground since that year.

Crucially, this will be the first Premier League meeting between these two clubs without either Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola in the dugout since March 2015 — a landmark that underscores how profoundly English football's managerial landscape has shifted. Liverpool have drawn both their home matches this season and will be desperate for a statement result. Attacking statistics are evenly matched at the top: City striker Erling Haaland leads with five goals, while Liverpool's Alexander Isak has netted four.

Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea: Key Storylines

Arsenal host newly promoted Leeds United looking to recover from a 3-0 defeat to Brighton — their heaviest loss since May 2023. Mikel Arteta's side have, however, lost consecutive league matches only once since the start of 2024, suggesting resilience. Arsenal have won nine of their last 10 Premier League meetings with Leeds, including each of the last seven. Leeds, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five — their best top-flight start since 2001/02.

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Manchester United without a single league win in five attempts. United have registered a league-high 113 shots this season but rank among the division's lowest for expected goals per shot, suggesting an efficiency problem. Spurs carry their own fragility: they have gone 37 consecutive Premier League matches without a win after conceding first.

Chelsea, under Xabi Alonso, host Bournemouth in a fixture laden with goals — the Stamford Bridge side have conceded 12 goals in five matches, the most in the division, while their five league games have produced 22 goals in total. Bournemouth are yet to win this season but have been solid on their travels, collecting 20 away points in 2026, behind only Arsenal and City.

Other Fixtures: Brentford, Forest and Hull's Defensive Stand

Aston Villa host Brentford, who bring the division's longest active unbeaten league run — seven matches. Brentford also lead the league for expected goals from set pieces, a metric that could prove decisive against a Villa side that has lost both home matches and struggled to score.

Nottingham Forest travel to Crystal Palace in excellent form: Forest have won all four away league games against London clubs in 2026 and scored at least twice in each of their last seven away league matches. Forest are also unbeaten in all 12 of their Premier League meetings with Palace. Palace have won just one of their last 12 league matches.

Newly promoted Hull City host Everton having yet to concede a single home goal this season — the only club in the division to achieve that. Hull average just 32.3% possession, the lowest in the league, but their defensive organisation has been exceptional. Everton are unbeaten in five league matches but have gone seven away games without a win.

Remaining Fixtures and What to Watch

Brighton travel to Sunderland in rich form, having won their last two matches by an aggregate score of 8-0, leading the league in possession and high turnovers. Fulham, still seeking a first win, face Ipswich Town, who are chasing only their second instance of winning three of their opening six Premier League matches in a season. Coventry City face Newcastle United after securing their first win last time out, having previously lost their opening four without scoring.
