Manchester United host Manchester City in the standout tie as the Premier League’s Gameweek 4 fixtures land this weekend — here’s the full schedule and our read on the games that matter.
The Premier League fixtures this weekend bring one of the season’s early standout ties: Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday, 13 September 2026. That said, Gameweek 4 is stacked from Saturday lunchtime through to Monday night, and Nigerian fans following Awoniyi, Onyeka and the rest of our players abroad have plenty to watch across the weekend.
Here’s the full schedule, the games worth building your Saturday around, and where our editorial team sees the value.
Seven matches open the round on Saturday, all kicking off at 10:00 WAT unless noted:
Liverpool v Fulham is the pick of the early games. Arne Slot’s side have carried their form from last season, and a home tie against a Fulham side still finding its rhythm under new signings should, in theory, be routine. However, Fulham have been stubborn on the road in recent seasons, so we wouldn’t write off a share of the points entirely.
Sunday’s late fixture is the one every Nigerian football fan will have circled: Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford, kicking off at 16:30 WAT. As a result, this is the game with the biggest betting market interest of the weekend, and it’s live on Sky Sports.
United have shown flashes of the identity their manager is trying to build, while City remain the more clinical side in front of goal even in a transitional season. Our read: City go into Old Trafford as slight favourites on the balance of squad depth, but United’s home form suggests this is closer to a coin-flip than the odds might imply. We favour a tight game, possibly with both teams scoring.
The rest of Sunday’s card:
Coventry’s tie is one Nigerian fans should note in particular — both Taiwo Awoniyi and Frank Onyeka joined Coventry from Nottingham Forest and Brentford respectively this summer, and a home fixture against Brighton is a genuine test of how quickly that rebuilt squad is settling.
Gameweek 4 closes on Monday, 14 September, with Leeds United hosting Newcastle United at 20:00 WAT. Newcastle’s European commitments this season mean squad rotation is a live factor here, so it’s worth checking the confirmed team news closer to kick-off before backing any market.
