The 2026/27 Premier League season rolls on this weekend with another eye-catching line-up of matches. Read on as we preview the Matchday 9 fixtures, starting with a clash which could have huge implications for Manchester United.
The Red Devils head into the game at Chelsea just one point above the relegation zone. The mood around the club is ugly. Manager Michael Carrick will be in charge at Stamford Bridge, but another defeat would probably cost him his job.
Chelsea’s inconsistency gives United a chance to take something from the game. However, backing them to win would be a brave move. Bournemouth have recovered from a slow start to the season to reel off five consecutive victories in all competitions.
