The Premier League will remain lively this weekend with multiple headline fixtures, including the major battle between Man City and Tottenham that promises to capture the spotlight. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s trip to Newcastle is also forecasted to be very thrilling.
The highlight fixture of Round 2 will take place at Etihad Stadium at 6:30 PM on Saturday (August 23). Manchester City started the season perfectly with a 4-0 victory over Wolves, showcasing the formidable strength of the former English champions. Their explosive attack and flawless ball control make “The Citizens” ready to assert their dominance against any opponent.

However, Tottenham is also riding high after a 3-0 win over Burnley. Under coach Thomas Frank, Spurs are displaying a fiery, fast-paced, and versatile attacking style. This promises to be a top-level tactical duel between two offensive-minded managers, where a single moment could decide the outcome.
Following a 1-0 victory over MU in the opening round, Arsenal will return to Emirates Stadium to host Leeds United. The “Gunners” have shown more resilience and pragmatism compared to previous seasons, especially in controlling the game and capitalizing on chances. Another win would help Arsenal reinforce their spot among the leaders and boost confidence ahead of a challenging run of fixtures.

Manchester United began the season with a narrow loss to Arsenal, and pressure is mounting on coach Ruben Amorim. The match against Fulham offers MU a chance to regain confidence. The “Red Devils” need to improve their attacking efficiency, particularly in finishing opportunities in front of goal.

Fulham is not an overly strong opponent but has often troubled MU in recent encounters. However, if MU continues to play like they did in the opener, they should be able to secure their first victory.
Chelsea will travel to West Ham on Saturday. After a disappointing 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace, “The Blues” need a win to lift spirits. West Ham recently suffered a shocking 0-3 defeat to newly promoted Sunderland, making this a good opportunity for Enzo Maresca’s team to claim all three points and regain fans’ trust.

In the latest match of Round 2, defending champions Liverpool will face a tough away challenge at Newcastle’s St James’ Park. After a 4-2 win over Bournemouth, Arne Slot’s squad is full of confidence. Still, Newcastle has never been an easy opponent, especially with their physically strong lineup.

Besides the headline clashes, Round 2 of the 2025/26 Premier League season features other notable games. Brentford hosts Aston Villa and Burnley faces Sunderland on Saturday, with all four teams aiming to improve their standing after the opening round. Crystal Palace meets Nottingham Forest and Everton takes on Brighton, promising balanced contests.
Round 2 of the 2025/26 Premier League promises intense drama, especially in two key matches Man City vs Tottenham and Newcastle vs Liverpool. This is the moment for the big clubs to prove their strength, while teams like MU and Chelsea, who have disappointed, will face significant pressure. Given the fierce competition, even a single slip-up could completely alter the top group’s dynamics.
