EPL: Four fixtures that could produce shock results in Gameweek 4
The fourth round of Premier League fixtures will take place this weekend, with several matches capable of producing unexpected results.
Here are four fixtures that could provide surprises in Gameweek 4:
Chelsea vs Hull City
Chelsea will host Hull City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday in a match that could prove difficult for the home side.
Hull have made an unbeaten start to the Premier League season and are yet to concede a goal in their opening three matches.
Chelsea, meanwhile, suffered their first league defeat of the season against Arsenal last weekend. The Blues will need to find a way past Hull’s organised defence to avoid dropping more points.
Sunderland vs Arsenal
Arsenal travel to face Sunderland on Saturday with a perfect league record after winning their opening three matches.
Sunderland have collected four points from their first three games and will have home advantage at the Stadium of Light.
Arsenal are expected to dominate possession, but Sunderland could make life difficult for Mikel Arteta’s side, particularly if they remain compact defensively.
Manchester United vs Manchester City
The Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Sunday is another fixture that could produce a surprise result.
Manchester City have won their opening three league games under new manager Enzo Maresca, while Manchester United have four points from their first three matches.
United have already suffered a shock defeat to newly promoted Hull City this season, while City will enter the derby as the more in-form side. However, the rivalry and home advantage could make the contest unpredictable.
Tottenham vs Everton
Tottenham will welcome Everton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Spurs are still searching for their first league win of the season, having collected two points from their opening three matches.
Everton, on the other hand, remain unbeaten after three games, making them a potential threat to Tottenham despite playing away from home.
With several teams still finding their feet early in the season, Gameweek 4 could produce more unexpected results as the Premier League table begins to take shape.
