With City netting nine goals while winning their last four games and United’s two home matches this season seeing them match that scoring tally, a high-scoring Manchester derby is on the cards. City have made a stronger start than their rivals and can exact revenge in a thriller. United have been beaten by Hull and held to a draw by Everton, while the Citizens have enjoyed a perfect start, beating Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Coventry.

Bayern Munich bounced back from last weekend’s goalless draw with Schalke by thrashing Bodo/Glimt 5-0 in the Champions League and they should get past Elversberg. The hosts are high flying and have nothing to lose, though, and they have already flexed their attacking muscles on plenty of occasions this season.

PSG have yet to win in Ligue 1 this season, but the reigning champions should get back on track against Brest on Sunday. The hosts are unbeaten, but have shipped five goals so far, and they will struggle to keep a team of PSG’s quality at bay this weekend.

Sassuolo are unbeaten in three, but they have not beaten a team of note during that time and should fall short on home soil. Juventus are unbeaten to start the season and are unbeaten in their last three games against their hosts.

PSV are yet to keep a clean sheet in the Eredivisie this season, but they’ve won four straight games. Sparta Rotterdam have suffered defeats to Feyenoord and Excelsior, while the visitors have failed to score only once this season.

There have been 69 goals in Inter Miami’s last 14 matches, and while the Herons have won only one of their last six games, the goals should continue to flow when Nashville visit Florida this weekend.

Columbus Crew have won seven of the last nine home MLS meetings with New York Red Bulls and the visitors head for ScottsMiracle-Gro Field having won only one of their last nine games. Everything points to a Columbus success.

LA Galaxy were hammered 3-0 at Vancouver in midweek, but the Whitecaps are the best side in the MLS Western Conference and the Galaxy are fancied to bounce back against a Seattle side without a win in 11 league matches.

Houston needed a last-gasp winner to beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 at the Shell Energy Stadium in midweek and a trip to San Jose is a tricky test. The Earthquakes were full value for their 3-2 win at San Diego last time and could build on that success.

There have been 57 goals in Portland’s last 14 MLS matches, a run which includes scorelines of 6-0, 5-4 and 5-1, and the goals should continue to flow when they head to Dallas.

There have been 69 goals in Inter Miami’s last 14 matches, and while the Herons have won only one of their last six games, the goals should continue to flow when Nashville visit Florida this weekend.

Celtic have won all seven of their domestic games this season and are unbeaten in three meetings with their Old Firm rivals, while Rangers lost at home to Hibs earlier this season and, while they have improved, they do not look at the same level as Celtic.

Sheffield United will be happy enough to have ten points from six games given their summer exodus, but they are unlikely to add to that tally on Sunday. Wolves are a cut above the Blades and have the quality to make it five wins in eight games.

Both Celta Vigo and Malaga are searching for a first win of the season and despite the odds, it is the visitors who look likelier to land that on Sunday. Malaga have outperformed their hosts on both xG and xGA and with their only defeats coming against giants Atletico and Real Madrid, they can be regarded as overpriced.

Five of Vaduz’s seven matches this season have featured at least four goals, and they have already suffered 4-2 and 3-2 defeats on their travels this season. Zurich have both scored and conceded twice in their last three Super League matches, so expect this to be a high-scoring encounter.

Five of Vaduz’s seven matches this season have featured at least four goals, and they have already suffered 4-2 and 3-2 defeats on their travels this season. Zurich have both scored and conceded twice in their last three Super League matches, so expect this to be a high-scoring encounter.

All four of RB Leipzig’s matches this season have gone over 2.5 goals, including their 3-0 success over Borussia Monchengladbach in their opening home fixture, and with Hamburg having shipped five against Mainz last time out, back the hosts to respond in style after their midweek loss at Como.

Barcelona are a perfect five wins from five this season and they have scored five goals in four of those games. Levante have also won big, beating Real Betis 5-2 in their last home fixture, and with the last three meetings between this pair at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia all featuring a minimum of five goals, another high-scoring Barca win could be on the cards.

Benfica have scored 16 goals across their last four league matches, winning each of them. Marco Silva’s side can secure another high-scoring win over Gil Vicente, who have shipped 13 goals across their last four visits to Benfica.

Coventry have failed to score in their opening three Premier League games and may struggle to break down a Brighton defence that has given up just 33 shots this season – only Manchester City and Arsenal have faced fewer. This is a match the visitors can win with something to spare.

While they were beaten 2-0 on their last visit to Old Trafford, City have made a stronger start than their rivals and can exact revenge in a thriller. United have been beaten by Hull and held to a draw by Everton while the Citizens have enjoyed a perfect start, beating Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Coventry to suggest they will take the spoils on derby day.

Coventry have lost their opening three Premier League games and are still adjusting to life back at the highest level. Brighton are an established top-flight side and have been beaten in only one of their last 14 games against newly-promoted teams. The Seagulls should have the nous to come out on top.

With City netting nine goals while winning their last four games and United’s two home matches this season seeing them match that scoring tally, a high-scoring Manchester derby is on the cards. City have made a stronger start than their rivals and can exact revenge in a thriller. United have been beaten by Hull and held to a draw by Everton, while the Citizens have enjoyed a perfect start, beating Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Coventry.

Luka Vuskovic has already opened his Brighton account, netting the equaliser against Leeds last weekend, and he now has 18 club goals in a career that is only just starting out. A real threat from set pieces, the Croatian is a standout candidate to get his name on the scoresheet again.

James Mason: Barcelona have started the season in rampant fashion, winning all five matches and scoring an impressive 22 goals. The Catalans have stuck five past Elche, Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Feyenoord. Levante have conceded three times in each of the last five meetings between the sides. 

Alex Jack: Atleti, who are set to play their fourth away game in a row this weekend, have hit a dip in form of late, losing their last two games 3-0 at Athletic Bilbao and 2-1 at Liverpool in the Champions League, and they should fall short again.

Jamie Griffith: The exits of manager Pierre Sage and key midfielders Adrien Thomasson and Mamadou Sangare have weakened Lens. Promoted Le Mans showed they can mix it with the best when being denied a point at Rennes by only a 96th-minute penalty and they can frustrate Lens this weekend.

James Milton: Paris Saint-Germain made a blistering start to their Champions League title defence, thrashing Slovan Bratislava 6-1 on Wednesday. However, the French champions have scraped 2-2 draws at Rennes and Lille in their first two away fixtures before losing 2-1 at home to Monaco, so back them to concede in a victory.

Tom Clark: Napoli’s home advantage should prove decisive against a Bologna side still searching for their first league win, having already suffered two 1-0 defeats this term.

Alex Wrigley: PSV have won their last four Eredivisie outings, but they are yet to keep a clean sheet after seven games in all competitions. Another thriller is expected against a visiting side that, despite struggling to win, have scored nine goals so far.

Raphinha has scored in all five matches he’s played this season, scoring a brace on three occasions. He can continue that fine return when Barca visit Levante.

Bruno Fernandes has scored four goals in his last two appearances at Old Trafford and his ability to find pockets of space could prove handy against a Manchester City team who are a defensive midfielder down following the departure of Rodri.

Bayern Munich bounced back from last weekend’s goalless draw with Schalke by thrashing Bodo/Glimt 5-0 in the Champions League and they should get past Elversberg. The hosts are high flying and have nothing to lose, though, and they have already flexed their attacking muscles on plenty of occasions this season.

With City netting nine goals while winning their last four games and United’s two home matches this season seeing them match that scoring tally, a high-scoring Manchester derby is on the cards. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals has landed in the Red Devils’ last seven Premier League home games and looks the bet again.

Both teams have scored in each of Depor’s last four matches, following their 3-2 victory at Villarreal last time out. Getafe drew 1-1 at home to Celta Vigo in their last match, and they can expect a back-and-forth encounter against an adventurous side.

Arouca and Santa Clara shared a 2-2 draw at this ground in May, and the pair are each in scoring form. The hosts have struck six goals across their two home matches, and they host a Santa Clara side that has scored in both of their away trips to date.

Both teams have scored in Sassuolo’s last four matches across all competitions, and they’re creating plenty of chances. Only Roma have registered more shots on target than Sassuolo across the first three rounds of Serie A, but they still look shaky at the back.

This weekend’s visit to Brest should be the perfect chance for PSG to bounce back from their slow start. They’ve won 22 of the previous 24 meetings between the sides. Since February 2025, they’ve claimed two 3-0 wins and a 5-2 victory at Brest.

Atletico Madrid have been beaten 2-1 at Liverpool and 3-0 at Athletic Club in their last two away matches and it’s difficult to fancy Atleti at a short price when they head for Sociedad.

Sassuolo are unbeaten in three, but they have not beaten a team of note during that time and should fall short on home soil. Juventus are unbeaten to start the season and are unbeaten in their last three games against their hosts.

Sporting have won the last 10 meetings between these two sides, and Famalicao have yet to win a game so far this season. Sporting have won four straight league matches, and they saw off Galatasaray with a 3-1 victory in midweek.

After leading Manchester United to the Europa League final in 2025, Ruben Amorim is aiming to go one better with new side AC Milan.

The Rossoneri have literally bought into Amorim’s tactical approach, breaking their transfer record to sign Goncalo Ramos to lead the line. They’ve also spent £42million on Diego Moreira, a winger converted to a wing-back at Strasbourg.

Amorim can lean on the experience of Luka Modric in midfield and Mike Maignan in goal, while the club have some young talents who look suited to Amorim’s approach in Davide Bartesaghi and Alphadjo Cisse.

While Amorim underwhelmed in England, his United side secured some impressive European results, as did his Sporting outfit. Armed with one of the stronger squads in Europe’s second-tier competition, Amorim can help Milan lift this trophy for the first time.

Monaco have spent the last couple of seasons in the Champions League, losing 5-4 on aggregate to PSG in last season’s knockouts.

They’ve appointed former Flamengo boss Filipe Luiz as their new manager, and the former Chelsea defender has an impressive track record. He led the Brazilian side to their domestic title, and brought continental success in the Copa Libertadores.

Strasbourg reached the last four of the Conference League last term, and this Monaco side are capable of going even further under a highly-rated young manager.

City aren’t quite right yet under Enzo Maresca. They may well come good but Lens away was arguably the worst road trip from Pot 4 while Napoli and Leipzig represent stern tests from Pot 3. And then there’s PSG and Barcelona. Altogether a tough test.

The home game against Bodo/Glimt and trip to Slavia ought to be the bedrock of a campaign in which Dino Toppmoller’s impressive group – who have already beaten PSG in the French Champions Trophy – can emerge successfully.

Barcelona could easily lose in Paris, legitimately drop points at Galatasaray and at home to Man City. One more slip and the top eight could feasibly elude them.

Arsenal were flawless 12 months ago and should have no difficulty getting to the 16 points which are probably required.

BVB came close to the top eight last season and have a great draw this year with Betis, AEK Athens, Sabah and even Inter Milan at home looks winnable.

PSV’s hammerings of Napoli and Liverpool last term were rare highs in an otherwise disappointing campaign. This season’s draw looks far kindlier for Peter Bosz and his Eredivisie big-hitters.
