The first round of Premier League fixtures in February kicks off this weekend, and with the season well past its halfway mark, every game is now crucial—whether for title contenders or relegation battlers.
While Arsenal vs. Manchester City is the standout fixture, several other matches have the potential to produce major upsets. Here are four games to watch where surprises could be on the cards:
1. Bournemouth vs. Liverpool – Cherries Looking to Stun the Reds
Bournemouth are in red-hot form, despite dealing with multiple injury concerns. With Justin Kluivert leading the charge, they have secured impressive wins over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
The Vitality Stadium has already seen Bournemouth take down Arsenal and Manchester City this season. Could Liverpool be their next high-profile victim? Jurgen Klopp’s men must be at their best to avoid a potential slip-up.
2. Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace – Unpredictable United on Edge
Manchester United’s form this season has been anything but consistent. They struggled against FCSB in their final Europa League group-stage game, only managing to win with two late goals.
This weekend, they welcome Crystal Palace, a team with firepower led by Jean-Philippe Mateta. Given United’s unpredictability, Palace will fancy their chances of causing an upset at Old Trafford.
3. Chelsea vs. West Ham – Blues Facing a London Derby Test
Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last weekend pushed them out of the top five, dealing a blow to their Champions League qualification hopes. Once considered serious title contenders, they are now battling to find consistency.
On Monday night, Graham Potter returns to Stamford Bridge with a revitalized West Ham side, eager to get revenge against his former club. Could the Hammers deepen Chelsea’s crisis?
4. Brentford vs. Tottenham – Spurs in Danger of Another Setback
Despite a 3-0 Europa League win over Elfsborg, Tottenham have been struggling in the Premier League, suffering back-to-back losses to relegation-threatened Everton and Leicester City.
As Ange Postecoglou’s men travel to Brentford, they must be cautious. The Bees have a history of troubling big teams, and this match could prove to be another huge stumbling block in Spurs’ bid to regain momentum.
Final Thoughts
With title races heating up and relegation battles intensifying, this weekend’s Premier League action promises plenty of drama. Will these games deliver the upsets we anticipate? Stay tuned for all the action!
