1. Birmingham City v Wolves — Championship, 12:00
A West Midlands derby opens the day at St Andrew's, with promotion-fancied Wolves the form side against a Birmingham team yet to really get going.
Birmingham City — recent results
- Sheffield United 0-0 Birmingham City (D)
- Birmingham City 2-2 Bristol City (D)
- Brentford 6-1 Birmingham City (L, EFL Cup)
- Birmingham City 2-1 Wrexham (W)
- Birmingham City 1-1 Southampton (D)
Wolves — recent results
- Wolves 4-1 Stoke City (W)
- Sheffield Wednesday 0-2 Wolves (W, EFL Cup)
- Preston North End 1-3 Wolves (W)
- Wolves 2-2 Blackburn Rovers (D)
- Wolves 3-0 Port Vale (W, EFL Cup)
Birmingham have won only once in their last five outings and were thumped 6-1 by Brentford in the cups midweek, leaving question marks over their defensive organisation. Wolves arrive full of confidence, unbeaten in four with three wins on the spin, and look one of the early pace-setters in the division.
Prediction: Birmingham City 1-2 Wolves. Wolves' four-game unbeaten run should be enough to see off a Birmingham side short on confidence and goals conceded.
2. Everton v Manchester United — Premier League, 14:00
Goodison Park hosts a ground United have found notoriously tricky, with Everton unbeaten so far this season against a United side of extremes — a 5-2 romp followed by a defeat at Hull.
Everton — recent results
- Newcastle United 1-3 Everton (W, friendly)
- Lille 1-1 Everton (D, friendly)
- Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace (W)
- Preston North End 0-4 Everton (W, EFL Cup)
- AFC Bournemouth 1-1 Everton (D)
Manchester United — recent results
- Manchester United 5-2 Ipswich Town (W)
- Hull City 2-0 Manchester United (L)
- Manchester United 2-4 Milan (L, friendly)
- Leeds United 1-1 Manchester United (D, friendly)
- Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 Manchester United (D, friendly)
Everton go into the weekend unbeaten in competitive action, with David Moyes' side yet to concede more than a single goal in any Premier League fixture. United will point to Bruno Fernandes' hat-trick against Ipswich as proof of their attacking quality, but the manner of the Hull City defeat leaves plenty for Ruben Amorim to address on the road.
Prediction: Everton 1-1 Manchester United. Everton's defensive solidity at home makes this a tough watch for a United side still finding its consistency.
3. Valencia v Barcelona — La Liga, 15:15
Barcelona travel to Mestalla in irresistible early-season form, while a struggling Valencia side are still searching for their first win of the campaign.
Valencia — recent results
- Deportivo A Coruña 3-1 Valencia (L)
- Real Betis 1-0 Valencia (L)
- Valencia 0-0 Celta Vigo (D)
- Newcastle United 2-1 Valencia (L, friendly)
- Valencia 1-1 Stoke City (D, friendly)
Barcelona — recent results
- Barcelona 5-2 Rayo Vallecano (W)
- Barcelona 2-0 Athletic Club (W)
- Barcelona 5-0 Elche (W)
- Barcelona 2-1 Al Ahly (W, friendly)
- Barcelona 5-2 Basel (W, friendly)
Valencia have won none of their last five outings and have looked short of confidence at both ends of the pitch. Barcelona, by contrast, have scored 19 goals in their last five matches and arrive at Mestalla as one of the form teams in Europe.
