The Premier League returns with Gameweek 4 this weekend, following the conclusion of the international break.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are eight games on the cards on Saturday, starting with Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest, while there\u2019s a rare Saturday night treat at 8pm when West London neighbours Brentford and Chelsea lock horns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool travel to Burnley on Sunday, followed by the Manchester derby at the Etihad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we\u2019ve rounded up all of the stats you might get to see during the course of what promises to be an action-packed weekend of top-flight football.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Ange Postecoglou takes charge of his first match as Nottingham Forest manager following the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo during the international break – and it’s a big one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The former Tottenham boss makes a swift return to North London to face unbeaten Arsenal in what promises to be a tough debut in charge of the Tricky Trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Forest’s Premier League record away to the Gunners is poor, to say the least. They\u2019ve failed to win any of their eight visits in the Premier League era, losing six, and haven\u2019t beaten Arsenal on their own turf in any competition since all the way back in 1989 when Brian Clough was in the dugout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bournemouth vs Brighton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Brighton have been quietly racking up the goals in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In fact, if they score twice against Bournemouth on Saturday, they\u2019ll become the Premier League\u2019s top scorers since Valentine\u2019s Day – the day they just to happened to suffer that heavy 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Crystal Palace vs Sunderland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Crystal Palace have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the new season, picking up five points from three games, including a superb 3-0 win away to Aston Villa before the international break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This extended their undefeated streak in the league to nine games – dating back to April – meaning if they avoid defeat to new boys Sunderland at Selhurst Park on Saturday they will have gone 10 consecutive league games unbeaten for the first time ever in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Everton vs Aston Villa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Jack Grealish has been completely rejuvenated since he switched Man City for Everton this summer with the on-loan winger bagging a brace of assists in each of his two starts against Brighton and Wolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If he continues on the assists train against former club Aston Villa this weekend, he will become the first player in Premier League history to provide multiple assists in three consecutive matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Fulham vs Leeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Some teams can go an entire season without conceding a single penalty – but Fulham have been quite the opposite. The Cottagers have given away a penalty in each of their first three league games this season, adding to the two at the end of the last campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, what we\u2019re getting at here is if they give away yet another spot-kick against Leeds this weekend, they’ll make unwanted history as the first Premier League team ever to give away a penalty in six consecutive matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Newcastle vs Wolves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Wolves have endured a nightmare start to the season, sitting bottom of the table with zero points after defeats to Man City, Bournemouth, and Everton, during which they’ve leaked in eight goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If they suffer another defeat at Newcastle on Saturday, they\u2019ll set an unwanted record by becoming the first Wolves team in the club\u2019s 127-year league history to lose their opening four games of a league campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    West Ham vs Tottenham<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    West Ham captain and talisman Jarrod Bowen played a key role in his side\u2019s impressive 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest, breaking the deadlock with a crucial goal in the 84th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the England international scores or assists against Tottenham – a side he netted against at home last season – he\u2019ll have been directly involved in 10 goals across his last 10 Premier League appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since Bowen made his first start under Graham Potter, only Mo Salah (15) would have been directly involved in more goals in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Brentford vs Chelsea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Brentford have experienced a mixed start under new boss Keith Andrews, with a home win over Aston Villa sandwiched between away defeats to Nottingham Forest and Sunderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They return to home turf this weekend to take on West London rivals Chelsea – a side they’ve beaten three times in their last seven meetings, losing just once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the Bees can pull off another victory against the Blues, it would mark their fourth Premier League win over these opponents since earning promotion in 2021\/22. Only Manchester City (6) and Arsenal (5) have managed more league wins over Chelsea in that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Burnley vs Liverpool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mohamed Salah is closing in on 300 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, racking up an incredible 185 goals and 88 assists so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If the Egyptian King registers his 273rd goal contribution in what would be his 292nd league game for the Reds this weekend against Burnley, he\u2019ll have been directly involved in at least 100 more Premier League goals than any other player since his arrival at Anfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Man City vs Man United<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Erling Haaland has stormed out of the blocks this season, scoring a whopping nine goals in five games for club and country, including a five-goal haul for Norway last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Haaland has an impressive record in the Manchester derby and should he score or assist against Man United on Sunday afternoon, he will become the first City player to reach double figures in goal involvements in this fixture  – and even surpass Wayne Rooney (9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
