👀 EPL Weekend Preview

Matchweek 5 ended with some surprises before the international break.

The Premier League Matchweek 6 runs from Saturday 10 October to Monday 12 October, and the standout fixture comes on Sunday evening: league leaders Manchester City travel to Anfield to face Liverpool. Here’s every fixture and SAST kick-off time.

Premier League Matchweek 6: Fixtures & SAST Kick-Off Times

SAST is 1 hour ahead of UK time in October, worth double-checking against your operator’s own listed time closer to kick-off, since broadcast schedules can shift at short notice.

Saturday’s Opener: Arsenal vs Leeds United

Arsenal are looking to bounce back from the 3-0 defeat at Brighton, their first loss of the season, and sit second on 12 points. Kai Havertz withdrew from the Germany squad injured and is a major doubt, which could open the door for Viktor Gyokeres to start up front. Leeds are unbeaten in five league games and sit fifth, so they arrive as a far tougher opponent than the table gap suggests.

Sunday’s Headline Fixture: Liverpool vs Manchester City

Manchester City lead the table with 15 points from five wins under Enzo Maresca, while Liverpool are six points behind and unbeaten but have drawn three of their five games. Liverpool are without Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, and Hugo Ekitike is still sidelined. For City, Phil Foden serves the last game of his suspension, and Erling Haaland is ready for Anfield.
