Gameweek 10 arrives in the 2024/25 Premier League season with a number of critical fixtures on the schedule.
Some have suggested that the Premier League’s final table rarely looks so different to how it is set up after ten games, so people like Tottenham Hotspur i Manchester United will be keen to get some big wins at home to try and climb the table. It’s also time for Gary O’Neil’s Wolverhampton Wanderers to climb up the table, having escaped a very tough start to the season down, bruised and second bottom.
There are a number of highlights to enjoy up and down the country with the weekend culminating in a London derby on Monday Night Football.
Here’s how 90 minutes project Gameweek 10 to develop it Premier League.
Saturday November 2
Let’s start with a possible belt on Saturday lunchtime arsenal make the long drive north to Tyneside and face Newcastle in Sant Jaume park. This game was marred in controversy last season as Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the game, and the Magpies need a similar result here given their recent Premier League woes.
Hopeful title Arsenal, meanwhile, are already five points behind the league leaders Manchester City and they cannot afford to create too big a buffer between themselves and the perennial champions.
City, however, have a tough task this weekend as they visit a Bournemouth a team that has taken points from the Gunners and Aston Villa in the previous two outings. Pep Guardiola’s side are also ravaged by injuries heading into this game, but have never lost to the Cherries in 21 games.
Liverpool overcome Brighton on Wednesday at the Amex in the Carabao Cup and the two teams will do it again on Saturday with Anfield as hosts this time. Fabian Hurzeler’s plucky Seagulls have beaten Newcastle and drawn at the Emirates this season, and the Reds, despite their excellent start to the season under Arne Slot, have proved fallible at home.
Nottingham Forest inflicted a rare defeat Liverpool on Merseyside, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s team have shown that this triumph is no fluke. They are currently seventh in the table and will like it West Ham on city land.
Gameweek 10 also features several crucial matches at the bottom of the table, with two newly promoted teams Ipswich Town i Leicester facing Portman Road. Southampton they need points at home evertonwho have an excellent record against the last five under Sean Dyche.
The day’s action concludes in Molineux where the 19th ranked Wolves host to Crystal Palace The team went up again after successive victories against Tottenham and Aston Villa. Palace’s win last weekend was their first in the Premier League this season, but they are likely to be without Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton for their trip to the West Midlands.

Sunday, November 3
Sundays are rarely ‘super’ in the Premier League, but this is far from a bad set of fixtures.
First, Jekyll and Hyde Tottenham welcome Aston Villa in North London, with the aim of closing the gap on the current fourth placed. Spurs were terrible at Palace last weekend, but excellent in midweek when they knocked City out of the Carabao Cup.
You never know which Lilywhites side we’ll see this weekend.
The action heads to Old Trafford, where Ruud van Nistelrooy takes charge of his first Premier League game as interim United boss. His debut went pretty well on Wednesday, though Chelsea will be a much tougher test than Leicester’s reserves.
with Ruben Amorim’s arrival confirmed for the November breakthe Theater of Dreams will be packed under the lights and we should treat ourselves to an exciting meeting.

Monday, November 4
The Fulham/Brentford the rivalry is not very vicious, but its proximity from a geographical and competitive point of view is close.
Fulham are tenth in the table and just one point behind the Bees in ninth. The Cottagers were denied three points by Beto last weekend at Everton, while Brentford bounced back from defeat at Old Trafford with a 4-3 win over Ipswich.
A hotly contested affair in west London is bound to wrap up Week 10, although Thomas Frank’s side won 3-0 in this fixture at the start of last season.
