Premier League: Man City chase seventh straight win; Leeds eye derby advantage in Matchweek 7
City have won all six of their league matches so far and could become only the third team in Premier League history to win their opening seven games of a season. Chelsea achieved the feat in 2005/06, followed by Liverpool in 2019/20.
Enzo Maresca could also become the first manager in the competition's history to win his first seven games in charge of a club. City have dominated their recent meetings with Ipswich, winning both encounters in the 2024/25 season by an aggregate score of 10-1.
Erling Haaland has scored four goals in two league appearances against Ipswich and has netted 20 times in 21 matches against newly promoted sides as compiled by Jio Star. Leeds, meanwhile, will host Manchester United with an opportunity to move six points clear of their rivals.
Leeds are unbeaten in their last seven home league matches, while United have collected just six points from their opening six games, their lowest tally at this stage since the 1986/87 season. United have registered the most shots, with 125, and the most touches in the opposition box, with 205, in the league this season.
However, they have yet to keep a clean sheet, a problem that has also affected them at the start of the previous campaign. Champions Arsenal will travel to Nottingham Forest, who have won only one of their last 11 league meetings against the Gunners.
The last two encounters between the sides at the City Ground ended goalless. Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White has created 17 chances this season, the second-highest tally in the league behind Pascal Groß.
Liverpool will visit Brentford, who are unbeaten in their first six league matches, with two wins and four draws. The Bees have extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to eight matches, the longest current streak in the competition.
The five previous Premier League meetings between the sides at the Gtech Community Stadium have produced 22 goals. Liverpool, however, will be looking to respond after a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City ended their recent unbeaten run.
Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham will both seek their first league victories of the season. Spurs have managed three draws and three defeats, scoring just three goals, while Fulham have taken two points from six matches.
