Newcastle United perspective on Premier League fixtures to play out today (10 October 2026)
Looking at these Premier League fixtures on Saturday, in this latest round of matches. Seeing the other games from a Newcastle United perspective.
This sixth round of Premier League fixtures as the international break ends at last. Then it is three Premier League fixtures on Sunday, before finally Coventry City v Newcastle United on Monday night.
My conclusions and predictions on Saturday's matches Arsenal v Leeds (12.30pm) Arsenal had won their opening six matches (all competitions) without looking very convincing and then just before the internationals they were battered 3-0 by Brighton. No doubt most people will still just assume they'll win today but Leeds have looked a very solid team this season and won three and drawn three in all competitions.
The only defeat was a crazy 6-3 at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup when a much changed Leeds side led 2-0 and then their mostly second string dramatically collapsed in the final stages of the match. In more than seven months Leeds have only lost one Premier League match, undefeated in 13 of 14 in that period.
Arsenal may well win but I am backing Leeds to continue a very solid start to the season by getting a draw. Daniel Farke's side also know that if they win this early kick-off they move up to second ahead of Arsenal, at least until other teams play this weekend.
Villa v Brentford (3pm) I think another game where most media and fans will be forecasting a home win. When you look at the story of this season though… Villa picked up only one point and scored one goal in the opening four Premier League matches of the season.
Just ahead of the internationals they won 3-2 against a pathetic Tottenham but even then almost threw it away after leading 3-0. Brentford are unbeaten in all seven games (all competitions) and hammered Chelsea 3-0 last time out.
Keith Andrews has them playing great football and I am backing Brentford to win at Villa Park. Chelsea v Bournemouth (3pm) Chelsea have conceded 12 goals in their five Premier League matches and were hammered 3-0 by Brentford last time, they have conceded at least two goals in each game.
Their last three EPL games seeing them only pick up one point and that was a very lucky one after trailing 2-1 at home to Hull City. The chaos continues at this joke club and they are up against a Bournemouth team who have somehow found ways not to win any of their five Premier League games so far.
