Matchweek 28 Fixtures

Friday, February 27

🐺 Wolves 2 vs 0 ⭕ Aston Villa — Final

Saturday, February 28

🍒 Bournemouth vs 🐈‍⬛ Sunderland — 4:30 AM — USA

🟣 Burnley vs 🐝 Brentford — 7:00 AM — Peacock

🔴 Liverpool vs ⚒️ West Ham — 7:00 AM — USA

⚫️ Newcastle vs 🟦 Everton — 7:00 AM — Peacock

🦉 Leeds vs 🌙 Manchester City — 9:30 AM — USA
Manchester City head to Elland Road having won each of their last five Premier League meetings with Leeds, outscoring them 19-4 in that stretch. Since 2017-18, City have conceded two or more goals in just three of 52 matches against newly promoted sides… though Leeds account for two of those, including the 3-2 thriller in the reverse fixture that required a 91st-minute winner. “So you're saying there’s a chance!!”

Sunday, March 1

🐧 Brighton vs 🌲 Nottingham Forest — 6:00 AM — USA

🏠 Fulham vs 🐓 Tottenham — 6:00 AM — Peacock

🟥 Manchester United vs 🦅 Crystal Palace — 6:00 AM — Peacock
Manchester United enter this one as the league’s most in form side since Boxing Day, unbeaten in 10 and picking up a league-high 22 points in that span. With 16 of them under Michael Carrick, United have won five of his six league games in charge and are perfect at Old Trafford under him. Benjamin Šeško has been central to the turnaround, scoring five non-penalty league goals in 2026 despite playing only 233 minutes, a strike rate of one every 46 minutes.

Palace, however, have quietly become one of the tougher visitors to Old Trafford in recent years, winning four of their last six away league games there after managing just two victories in their previous 22 trips. Oliver Glasner’s side have also stabilized recently, taking six points from their last two league games after earning the same total across the previous nine. Which I think we would call a rough patch.

With two straight wins at Old Trafford already secured, Palace are chasing a rare third consecutive away victory there, something only Chelsea have ever managed in league history.

🔫 Arsenal vs 🦁 Chelsea — 8:30 AM — USA
Arsenal enter this derby top of the table with 10 games to go, and history suggests these are the fixtures they handle best. Mikel Arteta owns a 60.9% win rate in London derbies which is the best in Premier League history among managers with 50+ games. The Gunners have lost just one of their last 25 league derbies which is mind boggling. They’ve also dominated this matchup recently, going unbeaten in eight against Chelsea and losing just once in 15 meetings in all competitions since 2019.

Chelsea has a rough road ahead, playing teams like Arsenal, PSG, Newcastle, both Manchester clubs, and did we forget to mention Wrexham?? They haven't been making things easy for themselves; The Blues have played over 330 minutes with 10 men (more than any team) and have dropped 19 points from winning positions despite spending 36.6% of matches in the lead. Against an Arsenal side that has scored in 42 of their last 44 London derbies, Chelsea probably can’t afford to self sabotage, as much as they usually do.
