UK, October 10, 2026 – The Premier League returns this weekend after the international break with two high-stakes fixtures set to dominate attention on Saturday.

Arsenal, second in the table with 12 points, host Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium at 12:30pm.

Leeds, meanwhile, remain unbeaten after five games and sit fifth with nine points. Daniel Farke’s side have been solid defensively and will arrive in North London full of confidence, though Arsenal have won their last seven league meetings against the Yorkshire club by an aggregate score of 24-5.

Later in the day, Manchester United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Old Trafford at 5:30pm in a clash between two underperforming sides.
