The Premier League returns this weekend with Matchweek 7 featuring several important fixtures, including Chelsea’s trip to Everton, Liverpool’s visit to Brentford and Manchester United’s clash with Leeds United.
Manchester City will also aim to extend their perfect start to the season when they host Ipswich Town, while Arsenal travel to Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur face an in-form Coventry City side.
The fixtures offer opportunities for teams seeking to maintain momentum, end poor runs or strengthen their positions in the league table. Chelsea’s midweek rest, Manchester United’s midfield struggles and Newcastle United’s defensive problems are among the key talking points.
Here are 10 predictions and tactical questions to watch for Premier League Matchweek 7

The fixture will provide an early test of whether the extra preparation time can help Xabi Alonso’s side improve their consistency and strengthen their title challenge.
