𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝟏-𝟐 𝐀𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐥 A dramatic late winner from Gabriel Magalhães earns Arsenal a huge victory at Newcastle. Timed at 95:45, it was Arsenal's second-latest winning goal in a Premier League away game on record (since 2003-04). #NEWARS

Newcastle 1-0 Arsenal - HT Eddie Howe's men lead at the break through Nick Woltemade's header. This is the first time since April 2023 that Arsenal have trailed at half-time in successive Premier League games, having also been 1-0 down to Man City last Sunday. #NEWARS

𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝟑-𝟏 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦 Villa earn their first Premier League win of the season thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins, John McGinn and Emiliano Buendía. Fulham have won just one of their last 22 league games at Villa Park, losing their last seven. #AVLFUL

Emiliano Buendía produced an assist and a goal within six minutes of coming on against Fulham. It is the fastest (5 mins, 43 secs) any half-time substitute has produced at least one assist and one goal in a Premier League game by at least nine minutes. #AVLFUL

Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham - HT Raúl Jiménez's early header was cancelled out before the break by Ollie Watkins, Villa's first home league goal of the season. #AVLFUL

No need to overcomplicate things. Lucas Digne's ball over the top allows Ollie Watkins to lob Bernd Leno and equalise for Aston Villa against Fulham. Watkins has ended a run of 700 minutes without scoring in the Premier League. #AVLFUL

We have yet another set-piece goal as Raúl Jiménez gives Fulham the lead against Aston Villa with a header from a corner. That makes it 27.5% of goals in the Premier League this season that have come from either corners, free-kicks or throw-ins (41 of 149). #AVLFUL

Atlético have smashed FIVE past rivals Real Madrid! Be honest, who saw that coming? No? Us neither.

Drama at Selhurst Park! Liverpool's unbeaten run is over! Eddie Nkeitah strikes at the death to seal an incredible win for Crystal Palace, who are now the Premier League's only remaining unbeaten side. What a performance from Oliver Glasner's side! #CRYLIV

Chelsea 1-3 Brighton FT It was a game of two halves at Stamford Bridge, where Trevoh Chalobah's 53rd-minute red card was a massive turning point. In the end, Brighton come away with an impressive three points #CHEBHA

Man City 5-1 Burnley FT Burnley gave City a bit of a scare early on but, really, there was nothing for them to worry about, was there?

If it's drama you're after, look no further than the Madrid derby.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Liverpool HT It's 1-0 to Palace, but it could be much, much worse for Liverpool. Alisson and the inside of his post have kept them in it so far, and they'll need to improve in the second half if they are to maintain their unbeaten record #CRYLIV

Man City 1-1 Burnley HT After City's early opener, Burnley equalised through Jaidon Anthony, and go in level at the break. Despite City having nearly 70% possession, Erling Haaland has touched the ball just 10 times in that first half.

Chelsea 1-0 Brighton HT Enzo Fernández's header is the difference at the break at Stamford Bridge. Brighton have been way off their best, and have barely had a sight of the Chelsea goal #CHEBHA

It's been one-sided at Selhurst Park so far. Premier League leaders Liverpool have been under the cosh.

Brentford 3-1 Man Utd FT An impressive Brentford performance gives them their second Premier League win under Keith Andrews. Meanwhile, it's another defeat for Ruben Amorim. United haven't won away from home since March.

Bruno Fernandes has now missed as many penalties in the Premier League this season (two) as every other player in the competition combined (one each for Kevin Schade and Danny Welbeck) #BREMUN

Brentford 2-1 Man Utd HT An Igor Thiago double sent Brentford into an early 2-0 lead, but Benjamin Sesko's first United goal has given Ruben Amorim's side some hope. All to play for at the G-Tech #BREMUN

What was it we were saying earlier this week about more teams playing more direct this season? 😉 theanalyst.com/articles/pre...

Harry Kane scored his 100th goal for Bayern Munich tonight in his 104th game for the club. It's one game fewer than it took both Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid and Erling Haaland at Manchester City (105).

How are team's in La Liga playing compared to last season? Real Madrid: slower and with more control Barca: Slightly more direct Atlético Madrid: big shift towards a slow, patient build-up

Real Madrid have won their first six matches in La Liga – something the club has achieved only six times in its history. With pressing, defending with the ball and opting for control over chaos, Xabi Alonso is rebuilding Madrid. theanalyst.com/articles/rea...

🧤Sunderland’s Robin Roefs is the third-highest scoring keeper in #FPL. 🔴Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori has more shots than most forwards. Both qualify for double points this week in FPL Challenge. Here are our GW6 picks: theanalyst.com/articles/fpl...

It's still early, but are teams in the Premier League playing a bit differently this season? We are seeing: ⬆️ More long balls ⬆️ More goals coming from set pieces ⬇️ Fewer passes per sequence ⬇️ Fewer high turnovers What other changes have there been so far in 2025-26? theanalyst.com/articles/pre...

Crystal Palace are in sensational form. Currently on a 17-game unbeaten run, they could equal their all-time club record sequence this weekend.

𝐀 𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐩 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚 ⚽️ Lowest ever possession vs Arsenal 🥅 His lowest seasonal rate for passes per sequence 💨 City lead the PL this season for fast-break goals #MCFC look a little bit different to normal... @alitweedale.bsky.social theanalyst.com/articles/man...

Manchester City's 32.8% possession figure in today's game against Arsenal was the lowest that a team managed by Pep Guardiola has had in a top-flight league game.

Oliver Burke has become the first Scottish player to ever score a hat-trick in the Bundesliga. All three of his goals for Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt today were assisted by Andrej Ilic.

Harry Kane scored his ninth hat-trick in the Bundesliga on Saturday - only six players have scored more in the competition since it began in 1963. Just 23 to go to match Gerd Müller's tally...

Bruno Fernandes' 100 Manchester United Goals @manutdfc.bsky.social #MUFC

Not a statistic that West Ham United fans will enjoy.

𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝟑-𝟏 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 A goal and an assist from Alex Iwobi helps Fulham secure a comeback win over Brentford. The Bees have lost eight points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, twice as many as any other team. #FULBRE

𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐭𝐝 𝟐-𝟏 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐚 Manchester United hang on for a much needed win, ending Chelsea's unbeaten league start. United have won consecutive home league games within the same season, under the same manager for the first time since December 2023, under Erik ten Hag. #MUNCHE

Man Utd lead Chelsea 2-0 but Casemiro's red card just before the break could make things interesting in the second half. Robert Sánchez was dismissed in just the fifth minute as United looked in total control, with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro scoring for the hosts. #MUNCHE
