Four Premier League Matches Are on Saturday and Tottenham Against Newcastle Closes the Day

Liverpool host Nottingham Forest first, Coventry meet Hull City, Bournemouth take Everton, and Spurs and Newcastle finish it. Crystal Palace and Manchester City opened the round on Friday night.

The 2026/27 Premier League round spread across four days this week, and Saturday 29 August carries four of the ten matches. Liverpool against Nottingham Forest opens it, Coventry against Hull City and Bournemouth against Everton run together in the afternoon, and Tottenham against Newcastle closes the day.

Saturday's card

Fixture Kick-off (CEST)
Liverpool v Nottingham Forest 13:30
Bournemouth v Everton 16:00
Coventry v Hull City 16:00
Tottenham v Newcastle 18:30

The rest of the round

Day Fixture Kick-off (CEST)
Friday Crystal Palace v Man City 21:00
Sunday Chelsea v Brighton 15:00
Sunday Leeds v Brentford 15:00
Sunday Sunderland v Fulham 15:00
Sunday Man United v Ipswich 17:30
Monday Aston Villa v Arsenal 21:00

Aston Villa against Arsenal on Monday night is the pick of the round on paper, and it is the last match played, which means the table will look settled by Sunday evening and then move again.

The table so far

Pos Club Pld Pts GF:GA
1 Brighton 1 3 4:0
2 Arsenal 1 3 3:0
3 Brentford 1 3 3:0
4 Everton 1 3 2:0
5 Hull City 1 3 2:0
6 Chelsea 1 3 3:2

One match played each, so goal difference is doing all the sorting and the table means nothing yet. It is worth noting only because Hull City sit in it on three points and play Coventry on Saturday, which makes that the fixture with the most to gain from an early season nobody has read yet.
