The English Premier League, EPL, is back after the international break.<\/p>\n
The Premier League enters its match-day 4 fixture this weekend.<\/p>\n
Southampton will host Manchester United in an early kick-off on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
After Man United\u2019s clash with Southampton at St. Mary\u2019s Stadium, Liverpool will host Nottingham Forest at Anfield in the evening.<\/p>\n
Manchester City will take on Brentford at Etihad Stadium, and Bournemouth will host Chelsea tonight.<\/p>\n
However, fans and pundits alike are talking about the potential for some shocking results this weekend as there are some fascinating contests to look forward to.<\/p>\n
First up is Southampton vs Man United. Both teams lost their last Premier League games before the international break against Brentford and Liverpool. Southampton lost 3-1 away at Brentford, while Man United lost 3-0 at home to Liverpool. On paper, United are expected to beat Southampton and get their second win of the campaign. With Southampton also looking to take all three points against Erik ten Hag\u2019s side, this could be a closely fought affair as Southampton would hope to make use of their home advantage against the Red Devils.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Manchester City will be looking for a straightforward win against Brentford at home but they can ill-afford to underestimate their opponent. Brentford won their last game against Southampton. The visitors will hope to avoid a defeat this weekend when they face Pep Guardiola\u2019s side at the Etihad Stadium and this could be a potential boost for them.<\/p>\n
Liverpool will be looking to put in a strong performance against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Arne Slot\u2019s men won emphatically against Man United in their last game, while Nottingham Forest played 1-1 with Wolves. Liverpool are sure to be wary of the visitors, who have also not lost a game so far this season. Forest could claim a famous scalp against the host on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n
Finally, Chelsea will be hoping to bounce back from their 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace in their last game when they face Bournemouth tonight. However, with Bournemouth winning 3-2 in their last away game against Everton, this game could be a closer affair at the Vitality Stadium than many are expecting.<\/p>\n
