According to reports by Sky Sports on Sunday November 1, 2026, the Premier League is setting up for a feisty set of fixture schedule, setting up several important matches for Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United as the three clubs prepare for a demanding run of games.

Chelsea recently strengthened their position with an impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on October 31. Arsenal also secured an important result, defeating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield on November 1.
