EPL: 4 fixtures we could see shock results this weekend

Premier League matchday eight has commenced with a clash between Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Looking ahead to the weekend, there are four matches that could feature unexpected outcomes.

Firstly, Arsenal and Everton are expected to produce a surprise result. Both teams are currently performing strongly in the league, with Arsenal unbeaten at home and Everton having only won one of their last six matches. However, Arsenal will be without Bukayo Saka and William Saliba due to injuries, while Everton have been strong away from home. A result at Emirates Stadium is certainly within the realm of possibility.

Next up is Chelsea facing Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are favored to win, given Tottenham's poor form in recent London derbies. However, Chelsea will be missing key players goalkeeper Emi Martínez and defender Reece James. Tottenham's recent win over Coventry City could give them a confidence boost. An upset at Stamford Bridge is definitely a possibility.

Aston Villa and Manchester City are set to face off, with the Red Devils holding a slight edge. City has been in good form, winning all seven of their Premier League games so far this season. Villa, on the other hand, have been more resilient, winning four of their last six matches against City. With both teams performing well, a surprise victory could occur at Villa Park.

Finally, Liverpool and Brighton are set to meet at Anfield. Liverpool are the favorites, but they have been winless in their last five home matches. Brighton, on the other hand, have been performing well, sitting third in the league table and scoring 23 goals in their opening seven games. A result at Anfield is certainly within Brighton's reach.
