Chelsea’s attacking trio of Morgan Rogers, João Pedro, and Cole Palmer have already scored 10 goals in the Premier League this season, putting them at the top of the league’s scoring charts. However, Hull City, who have not beaten Chelsea in the top flight since 2005, will aim to end that streak. Hull’s forward Oli McBurnie has yet to find the net this season, but his work rate and movement have been strong. Chelsea, meanwhile, has not won any of its last four league games against promoted teams, and Hull’s impressive start to the season adds to the uncertainty of the match.
Fulham’s new head coach Álvaro Arbeloa is under pressure after three consecutive Premier League losses, with seven goals conceded in those games. His defensive struggles could be tested by Liverpool, who are starting to show better attacking form under their new manager. Fulham’s wide play might be limited due to injuries to key players Bradley Barcola and Cody Gakpo, which could affect their ability to create chances against a strong Liverpool side.
Cheick Doucouré, who has been recovering from two serious knee injuries, is expected to return for Crystal Palace’s match against Ipswich. He was recently added to the matchday squad for a Carabao Cup victory over Middlesbrough, signaling his return to fitness. His presence could provide a boost to Crystal Palace’s midfield, especially against a team like Ipswich, which has yet to score in the league this season.
In the match between Brentford and Bournemouth, the midfield battle will be crucial. Brentford leads the Premier League in aerial duels, interceptions, and fouls committed, with players like Vitaly Janelt and Mamadou Sangaré setting the pace. Bournemouth’s manager Marco Rose has acknowledged the challenge of dealing with Brentford’s high pressing and physicality. Alex Scott is expected to play a key role in countering this aggressive style of play.
