7 – Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
As the Premier League calendar turns to November, Nottingham Forest welcome Manchester United to the City Ground in what promises to be a fiercely contested mid-table clash. Forest, riding high after a stellar 2024-25 campaign that secured Europa League qualification—their first European spot in 29 years—aim to build momentum in the 2025-26 season. Meanwhile, United, under Ruben Amorim’s has seen steady improvement, which seek to climb the EPL table, considering their recent form.
Head-to-Head Record
The historical ledger between these two storied clubs tilts firmly toward Manchester United, who have long dominated this fixture. Across 114 meetings in all competitions since their first encounter a 1-1 draw in October 1892 the Red Devils boast 54 victories to Forest’s 36, with 24 stalemates. United’s Premier League record is even more imposing: 14 wins from 20 games, including the infamous 8-2 thrashing at the City Ground in 1999, where Ole Gunnar Solskjær plundered four.
Total Matches: 114
Forest Wins:36
United Wins:54
Draws: 24
This has all the hallmarks of a tight, cagey affair—Forest’s home resilience clashing with United’s improving resolve. Opta stats give the hosts a slight edge (45% win probability vs. 30% for United, 25% draw), but history and form point to shared spoils. Nottingham Forest 1-1 Manchester United. A draw keeps both sides in the European hunt.
8 – Tottenham vs Chelsea
The latest chapter of the fierce London derby unfolds as Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both sides are chasing European spots in the 2025-26 Premier League season, with Spurs aiming to leverage their formidable home record and Chelsea looking to sustain their resurgence under Enzo Maresca. This clash, steeped in rivalry, promises high intensity, tactical intrigue, and goals, given the attacking talent on display.
Head-to-Head Record
This fixture is one of the Premier League’s most storied rivalries, with 180 meetings across all competitions since their first clash in 1909. Chelsea hold the historical edge, winning 80 times to Tottenham’s 57, with 43 draws. In the Premier League era (since 1992), Chelsea’s dominance is clear: 37 wins from 64 matches, compared to Spurs’ 11 and 16 draws. However, recent encounters have been more balanced, with three draws in the last five head-to-heads, including a thrilling 2-2 stalemate at Stamford Bridge last season.
Total Matches:180
Spurs Wins: 57
Chelsea Wins: 80
Draws: 43
This derby rarely disappoints for drama, and current form suggests a closely fought battle. Tottenham’s home strength meets Chelsea’s disciplined counterattacking setup, with both sides boasting firepower but occasional defensive lapses. Opta’s supercomputer gives Spurs a 38% chance of victory, Chelsea 34%, and a draw 28%. Given the draw-heavy trend in recent head-to-heads and Chelsea’s potential fatigue, a stalemate feels likely. Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea.
24 – Bolton Wanderers vs Huddersfield Town
Bolton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town lock horns in a crucial FA Cup (round one) encounter at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, with both sides eyeing promotion back to the Championship. This matchup pits two well-drilled outfits against each other, each boasting strong recent form and a knack for grinding out results, making it a prime candidate for a tightly contested stalemate.
Head-to-Head Record
The history between Bolton and Huddersfield is rich, with 84 meetings across all competitions since their first clash in 1913. Bolton hold a slight edge with 34 wins to Huddersfield’s 30, alongside 20 draws. In League One and lower-tier encounters, the record is tighter, with Bolton winning 12 of 30, Huddersfield 10, and eight draws. Recent meetings have been low-scoring and draw-heavy: three of the last five head-to-heads ended level, including a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield in their last League One meeting in 2024. Bolton’s last home win over Huddersfield was a 1-0 victory in 2015, while the Terriers’ 2-1 triumph in 2019 exposed Bolton’s defensive frailties.
Total Matches: 84
Bolton Wins: 34
Huddersfield Wins: 30
Draws: 20
Both teams are in fine fettle, with Bolton’s home resilience meeting Huddersfield’s road solidity. The Terriers’ defensive structure could frustrate Bolton’s attack, while Huddersfield’s counterattacking threat may be blunted by Evatt’s compact setup. Historical trends and current form Bolton’s five draws in seven home games, Huddersfield’s four draws in six away—point to a stalemate. Opta stats give Bolton a 40% win probability, Huddersfield 32%, and a draw 28%. Bolton 1-1 Huddersfield.
44 – Celtic vs Rangers
The Old Firm derby returns to Paradise as Celtic host Rangers in a Scottish League Cup blockbuster that could define the title race. Celtic, the runaway leaders, aim to extend their dominance in this historic rivalry, while Rangers, seek a morale-boosting result amid a turbulent season. With Celtic eight points clear at the top and Rangers scrambling in fifth, the pressure is on the visitors to spark a revival.
Head-to-Head Record
No fixture crackles like the Old Firm, with Celtic and Rangers clashing 447 times in major competitions since 1888—Rangers edging with 171 wins to Celtic’s 170, and 106 draws. In the Scottish Premiership (since 2013 rebrand), Celtic lead 30-16 with 12 draws, reflecting their recent supremacy: unbeaten in seven of the last 10 league meetings (5 wins, 2 draws). Rangers’ last league win at Celtic Park was a 3-0 thriller in September 2023, but Celtic hold the psychological edge, winning 12 of the last 13 titles. Low-scoring stalemates are rare lately 22 goals in the last six—but under 2.5 goals has hit in four of the past seven. Celtic’s 7-1 League Cup rout in 1957 remains the biggest margin.
Total Matches: 447
Celtic Wins: 170
Rangers Wins: 171
Draws: 106
Celtic’s ruthless attack and home fortress should overwhelm Rangers’ fragile defense, especially with Röhl’s side yet to win away convincingly. Rangers’ draw-heavy form tempers expectations of an upset, but Tavernier’s set-piece threat could test Schmeichel. Opta gives Celtic a 55% win probability, Rangers 25%, draw 20%. A Celtic 2-1 Rangers or Celtic 2-2 Rangers will do justice to this fixtures. A narrow win keeps the Hoops cruising.
48 – Raith Rovers vs Greenock Morton
Raith Rovers host Greenock Morton in a pivotal Scottish Championship showdown at Stark’s Park, where mid-table security hangs in the balance. Both sides, nestled in the promotion/play-off scrap, have shown flashes of resilience but a penchant for draws, setting the stage for another gritty, low-scoring encounter in this storied fixture.

Total Matches: 57

Morton Wins: 19
Draws: 16
Raith’s home grit collides with Morton’s road stubbornness in what screams stalemate both teams’ draw-prone form (Raith 2/9, Morton 3/8) and H2H trends (16/57 level) make it a foregone conclusion.
