EPL 2025-26: Matchday 10 Preview & Betting Tips
Nottingham Forrest vs Manchester United
City Ground, Sunday 2nd November, 2:00am AEDT
Nottingham Forest host Manchester United with a sense of quiet confidence after showing resilience in a recent 2-0 win over FC Porto in the Europa League. They will also draw on that famous 1-0 win over United last season when Anthony Elanga haunted his former club. While their overall form has been mixed, Forest remain pesky at home and should offer a challenge to the travelling Man U.
United have had their flashes of brilliance, like the 4-2 win over Brighton and a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Liverpool, but their defensive lapses away from Old Trafford continue to cost them. They are, however, on a three game winning streak, only two away from the famous Frank Ilet ending his near 400 day run of not cutting his hair until his team wins five in a row.
Historically, United have dominated this fixture, winning six of the past nine, but Forest’s home edge and renewed confidence make this one tighter than the stats suggest. It feels like a game where Forest could hold on for a draw. Backing the home team to spoil Frank's party here.
Tottenham vs Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday 2nd November, 4:30am AEDT
Tottenham and Chelsea’s London derby promises its usual brand of chaos. Spurs have struggled for rhythm at home, often conceding first and playing catch-up, a pattern they’ll desperately want to reverse. Their creativity in attack is undeniable, but the defensive cracks remain.
Chelsea, meanwhile, seem to have rediscovered some stability, and their recent dominance over Tottenham gives them a psychological edge; Spurs haven’t beaten them in league play for several years. Chelsea’s attacking form, mixed with Spurs’ shaky backline, makes it hard to back the hosts despite the home crowd.
Expect goals, maybe an early Spurs strike before Chelsea settle and counter effectively. A 2-1 Chelsea win feels the most likely outcome, though a 2-2 draw wouldn’t shock anyone given both sides’ tendency to throw caution to the wind.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa
Anfield, Sunday 2nd November, 7:00am AEDT
Liverpool against Aston Villa closes the round with two teams built on attacking ambition. Liverpool continue to churn out results, brushing aside 7 straight challengers at Anfield before losing their last two at home in a row to drop to 7th on the EPL table. Their head-to-head record with Villa tells a similar story, 34 wins to Villa’s 13 since 1992.
Still, Villa can be pesky opposition, having won six of their last seven games across the league and Europe competitions, proving themselves as one of the form English teams at the moment. They also held on for a 2-2 draw in their alst meeting against Liverpool back in February.
Expect Villa to grab a goal, but the Reds should control proceedings. A 3-1 Liverpool win seems about right, high energy, plenty of chances, and another night where Anfield reminds everyone why it’s one of the hardest places to visit.
