At what point is it too early for teams to be celebrating or panicking? After gameweek three, we might have a clearer picture. Arsenal picked up a massive win at Crystal Palace with 10 men. Manchester City also had a big weekend last time out with a win over Newcastle United. At the other end of the table, though, Everton lost another game. This time it was in convincing fashion to Aston Villa.
This weekend, there are interesting games across the board. That starts on Friday as a woeful Chelsea looks for its first win of the season when it welcomes Luton Town. Luton did not play last weekend due to the stadium construction still ongoing. Chelsea’s weekend was not overly kind to the Blues. Despite Moises Caicedo making his debut, Chelsea lost to West Ham, 3-1.
Saturday should provide a good test for Brighton when the Seagulls welcome West Ham. Brighton put out two strong performances to start the campaign. Consequently, the Roberto de Zerbi’s league-leading squad can get another three points to start the campaign.
Sunday brings the highlight of the weekend, though. Newcastle, fresh off that loss at the Etihad, welcomes Liverpool to St. James’ Park. These two clubs have high ambitions for this season after inverse campaigns in 2022/23.
NBC coverage this weekend
Friday’s studio coverage for the Chelsea-Luton game features three analysts. Robbie Mustoe anchors the show alongside Robbie Earle and Danny Higginbotham. At the weekend, Mustoe returns to his analyst role with Earle and Rebecca Lowe as the host.
With four games in Saturday’s 10 a.m. kickoff time, GOAL RUSH could be a useful tool. The whiparound Premier League show dips across the grounds as goals happened, but it does focus on one game. This is available exclusively on Peacock for American audiences.
