Premier League Schedule — Man United to face Bournemouth as Premier League matchday approaches Oct 25

Background

The Premier League is the top professional football division in England. Twenty clubs play each other in a season, and each club earns three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The table lists the clubs in order by points, so the leader sits at the top and the club in 20th place is the lowest. Clubs are ranked by points, and the table is updated after each round of matches.

The 2026-27 season table is the one that news outlets are publishing now, as matches are played. Sources for this page give the table only as a headline, so this page does not list the clubs' positions or points. Readers looking for the live standings should consult a current table directly. The sources also do not give a full list of fixtures, so the schedule for the wider round is not set out here.

Manchester United are set to play Bournemouth, and Liverpool are due to host Brighton in the same round. Chelsea and Tottenham are also listed as an upcoming match. Manchester United have been under pressure this season. The BBC columnist Chris Sutton wrote that the club has been poor all season and tipped Bournemouth to win. He also wrote that criticism from Bruno Fernandes of manager Michael Carrick adds to the club's problems, and that if United lose, he thinks it will be the end for Carrick.
