Written by Aviran Zazon
Manchester City and Arsenal head into this Premier League weekend level on 21 points, with Brighton five behind the leaders and Liverpool trying to close a six-point gap to the top two. At the other end, Coventry and Sunderland meet with both clubs still in the drop zone.
Here are all ten fixtures from Saturday 31 October to Monday 2 November 2026, including our Match of the Week. For anyone looking for a seat at short notice, Ticket-Compare.com is a comparison platform rather than a seller: it brings together tickets from pre-vetted resale sites and official ticketing partners, including hospitality, before supporters click through to the marketplace of their choice.
Chelsea vs Manchester United – Stamford Bridge, London (Saturday 31 October 2026)
Fifth-placed Chelsea have 13 points and can keep the pressure on fourth-placed Liverpool with a win, while Manchester United arrive six points behind them in 16th. The Red Devils are level with Crystal Palace, immediately above the relegation places, so another setback would leave them looking nervously downwards. João Pedro faces a spell on the sidelines for the Blues, while Bruno Fernandes may return to become one of the visitors' likely threats. The stands sit close to the pitch at Stamford Bridge, which adds to the noise when United come to west London.

Bournemouth vs Leeds United – Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth (Saturday 31 October 2026)
There is rarely much room for the crowd to feel distant from the action at the Vitality Stadium. That should suit Bournemouth as they try to climb from 13th, where their nine points leave them just two behind seventh-placed Leeds United. Evanilson has made a strong start to the season, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is another forward supporters will be watching if involved. Leeds can put distance between themselves and the crowded middle of the table; the home side can leapfrog their visitors with a win. For late availability, it's worth a quick look at the remaining seat listings.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest – Community Stadium, London (Saturday 31 October 2026)
Caoimhín Kelleher could have a busy afternoon if Nottingham Forest find a way to bring fit-again Morgan Gibbs-White into the game. Forest are 18th on six points, only one behind 17th-placed Palace, and every opportunity to climb out of the bottom three counts. Brentford, by contrast, sit sixth with 11 points, two behind Chelsea in fifth. The Bees have a chance to strengthen their position in the top half before the clubs around them play. At the intimate Community Stadium, seats on the longside give a good view of both penalty areas. If you're looking for seats, you can check the fixture's resale listings.

Coventry vs Sunderland – Coventry Building Society Arena, Coventry (Saturday 31 October 2026)
Only one point separates the bottom two, which makes this the clearest relegation six-pointer of the weekend. Coventry sit 19th on six points, while Sunderland are bottom with five; Crystal Palace, in 17th, have seven. The Sky Blues know a win could take them above the current safety mark, although other results will decide their eventual position. Bobby Thomas has been ever-present at the back for Coventry, with the returning Brian Brobbey a potential threat for the Black Cats. The home crowd at the Coventry Building Society Arena will understand exactly what three points could mean. Seat availability is worth checking close to the day.

Hull City vs Ipswich – MKM Stadium, Hull (Saturday 31 October 2026)
Two clubs back in the top flight meet on level points, with Hull City tenth and Ipswich 12th, both on ten. Hull's return has given the home crowd plenty to embrace, and the Tigers can move further clear of the bottom half with another result at the MKM Stadium. Mohamed Belloumi is one to watch if he features, while the marauding Leif Davis offers Ipswich an outlet from the left. For the Tractor Boys, a victory would move them above their hosts and help build a cushion over the lower places. A longside seat offers a particularly clear view of the full pitch here.

Manchester City vs Brighton – Etihad Stadium, Manchester (Saturday 31 October 2026)
Brighton's visit brings together first and third in the table. Manchester City have 21 points, level with Arsenal, while Brighton are five back on 16 and could cut that difference to two with a win. Erling Haaland should be a central concern for the Seagulls, who may look to the inventive Diego Gómez for a threat of their own. City can keep themselves at the front of the title race; Brighton have the chance to show they can stay close to the leading pair. At the Etihad Stadium, central longside seats suit supporters who want to follow the play developing across the pitch. If you've left it late, check what's still listed by seat area.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London (Saturday 31 October 2026)
A London meeting with an uncomfortable edge for both clubs: Tottenham Hotspur are 14th with nine points, only two ahead of 17th-placed Crystal Palace. A Palace win would take the Eagles above Spurs, while the home side need three points to move away from the lower reaches of the table. Mathys Tel brings much-needed dynamism to Tottenham's injury-hit attacking options, with Ismaïla Sarr capable of troubling defenders for Palace if fit. The huge South Stand at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can drive the home noise, particularly in a London fixture. For late availability, it's worth checking the options left for this match.

Aston Villa vs Fulham – Villa Park, Birmingham (Saturday 31 October 2026)
The Holte End will want to see Aston Villa take charge at Villa Park, where a home win could carry them closer to the European places. Villa are ninth on 11 points, two behind fifth-placed Chelsea, and John McGinn should be among the familiar figures urging them forward. Fulham are 15th with eight, just one point above Palace in 17th, so the Cottagers also have good reason to chase a result. Alex Iwobi could provide the visitors with some drive through midfield. If you're looking for seats, you can compare the remaining locations before choosing a provider.

Liverpool vs Arsenal – Anfield, Liverpool (Sunday 1 November 2026)
Match of the Week
Arsenal arrive at Anfield level on 21 points with leaders Manchester City, knowing a win would keep them firmly in the title hunt. Fourth-placed Liverpool are six points back and could halve that gap with victory, making this our Match of the Week. Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak should be among the Reds' attacking options, while Declan Rice should give the Gunners plenty of midfield thrust, if fit. The Kop will expect Liverpool to make home advantage count. Tickets for a fixture of this profile can vary sharply by location; Ticket-Compare.com lets supporters compare listings without opening several provider sites.

Newcastle United vs Everton – St James' Park, Newcastle (Monday 2 November 2026)
Monday night under the lights at St James' Park provides the final act of the weekend, with just one point between these sides. Newcastle United are eighth on 11 points and Everton 11th on ten, so either side could make a useful move in a tightly packed middle of the table. Joelinton and Harvey Barnes should give the Magpies options in possession, while Jordan Pickford and Jack Grealish could be prominent for the Toffees. The steep stands help keep the crowd close to the action, even high above the pitch. If you're comparing prices and seat areas, start with the match listings rather than relying on a single provider.
