Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest – Saturday, 3pm

View all available markets at William Hill

Aston Villa enjoyed a memorable campaign last season, finishing fourth in the Premier League and lifting the UEFA Europa League, but there are real question marks heading into the new term after a worrying start across their first three league outings.
Villa’s early‑season form has been a major concern — they’re still without a win and remain one of only three Premier League sides yet to score, and another blank here would make them the first team in any of England’s top four tiers to go four games without a goal in consecutive seasons, having done the same last year.
This, however, is a fixture Villa usually manage well. They’ve won each of their last six Premier League home games against Nottingham Forest, and Unai Emery’s side are 5/4 with William Hill to finally claim their first league victory of the campaign.

Nottingham Forest are another side searching for their first win of the season, with their 1–0 defeat to Leeds United on opening weekend followed by back‑to‑back Premier League draws.
The Tricky Trees have struggled on the road, conceding nine goals across their last three away trips, but Oliver Glasner’s personal record in this fixture offers encouragement — he’s never lost to Villa in seven meetings (W5, D2), which could be a good omen for the visitors.
Forest were beaten 4–0 at Villa Park in May’s UEFA Europa League semi‑final and haven’t won any of their last 11 trips to this ground since 1994 (D3, L8). William Hill make the away side 21/10 to finally end that long wait on Saturday.

Bournemouth v Brentford – Saturday, 3pm

Bournemouth could make some unwanted history on Saturday afternoon, as they risk becoming the first side in Premier League history to fail to win a game despite taking the lead in each of their first four matches of a season.
The Cherries looked set for their first league victory under Marco Rose last weekend when they led Newcastle 2–0 at half‑time, only to leave the north east with just a point — making it consecutive top‑flight draws and extending the wait for that first win.
They may have to be patient again if past meetings are anything to go by. Bournemouth haven’t beaten Brentford in any of their last ten clashes across all competitions (L7, D3), though they’ll hope to finally snap that run. Odds reflect the tight nature of this one, with the Cherries trading around 6/4 to get over the line with the leading bookmaker.

Brentford narrowly missed out on European football last season on goal difference, a painful blow for the Bees faithful, but optimism remains high in west London that Keith Andrews’ side can deliver something similar this time around — especially given their strong start.
The Bees sit fifth in the Premier League at the time of writing after an unbeaten opening (W1, D2), and they’ve enjoyed their recent trips to the south coast, winning three of their last four visits here (W3, D1).
Their away form overall is a slight concern, though — Brentford are now six Premier League away games without a victory (D4, L2). Even so, Andrews’ men are hovering around 13/8 with William Hill to take all three points and keep their early‑season momentum rolling.

Chelsea v Hull City – Saturday, 3pm

See the latest odds on this match

Chelsea’s start under Xabi Alonso has been an encouraging one, particularly in front of goal, with eight goals in their opening three Premier League matches — no side has scored more so far this campaign. The issue, however, remains at the other end, with only two teams having conceded more than Chelsea’s seven.
That defensive fragility was on show again in midweek, even in victory, as the Blues beat Leeds United 6–3 at Stamford Bridge in a chaotic EFL Cup tie that already feels like an early contender for game of the season. Chelsea had to come from two goals down before eventually powering clear.
Attention now turns back to the Premier League, and Saturday’s fixture is one Chelsea traditionally handle well. They’ve never lost any of their ten top‑flight meetings with Hull City (W8, D2), and it’s no surprise to see Alonso’s side trading at short odds at 1/4 to extend that record.

Hull City defied expectations last season to secure promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since 2016/17 — and they’ve already produced one of the shocks of the campaign with that superb 2–0 win over Manchester United on opening weekend.
The Tigers have since beaten Coventry City and held Aston Villa to a goalless draw, making them one of just eight unbeaten sides in the division. They head to west London sitting third in the table.
More impressively, Hull are now the only team across England’s top four divisions yet to concede a goal this season. That run is widely expected to end at Stamford Bridge, though, given they’ve never won in eighteen league visits to this ground. Even so, those looking for a big swing can find Hull out at 11/1 with William Hill to keep the fairytale going and silence the Bridge.

Crystal Palace v Ipswich Town – Saturday, 3pm

See the latest odds on this match

Crystal Palace have endured a tough start under Pierre Sage, but the Eagles finally sparked into life with a 3–2 win at Fulham, and they backed that up in style with a 3–0 EFL Cup victory over Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.
Palace have enjoyed this fixture in recent years, winning both meetings 1–0 in the 2024/25 campaign and taking five of the last seven head‑to‑heads across all competitions (W5, D1).
With nine of Palace’s last ten domestic matches producing three or more goals, this one has all the ingredients for another lively contest. Sage’s side are 17/20 to make it back‑to‑back Premier League wins for the first time since December 2025.

Ipswich Town began their Premier League return with a strong win over Sunderland but have since been brought back down to earth by consecutive defeats to Manchester United and Liverpool.
The Tractor Boys have lost their last two league trips to Selhurst Park, and another defeat would make it three in a row here for the first time since 1994. The signs aren’t great for Gary O’Neil either — he’s yet to beat Palace in any of his five Premier League encounters (D1, L4).
Ipswich’s defensive record adds to the concern: they’re without a clean sheet in twenty‑two straight Premier League matches, conceding 57 goals in that run. If Ipswich are to get something here, it likely comes in a game where they still concede, and the away win while shipping at least one is sitting at 6/1.

Liverpool v Fulham – Saturday, 3pm

See the latest odds on this match

Liverpool have enjoyed a strong week under Andoni Iraola, picking up their first Premier League win of the season against Ipswich Town on Friday night before backing it up with a 2–1 victory over Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Back‑to‑back league wins look well within reach for the Reds — they’ve lost just two of their last 33 home Premier League games against Fulham (W23, D8), and you have to go back to 2021 for their last defeat to the Cottagers at Anfield.
Saturday afternoon should deliver goals. Liverpool’s last five home matches have seen both teams score, while seven of the last eight meetings between these sides across all competitions have produced the same outcome. Those expecting another lively contest can take Liverpool to win & BTTS at 13/8 with William Hill.

Former Liverpool defender Álvaro Arbeloa returns to Anfield hoping to finally get Fulham off the mark in the Premier League, but the Cottagers remain one of only two sides — along with Coventry City — yet to pick up a single point this season.
Fulham could also equal some unwanted history: only in 1951/52 and 2020/21 have they lost their opening four matches of a top‑flight campaign, and both seasons ended in relegation.
A victory here would make Arbeloa the first ex‑Liverpool Premier League player to beat the Reds as a manager (L5), and those backing a shock can find Fulham at 5/1 with William Hill to leave Anfield with all three points.
