By Euan Burns
The Premier League is getting into full swing now with all but two teams playing twice and there is more on the way this weekend.
As always, Saturday is the bumper day and there are some big teams facing 15:00 BST kick-offs which is not always the case.
Arsenal and Manchester United both take to the field on Saturday, while Tottenham will look to build on last week's win over Man Utd as they prepare for their lunchtime fixture.
Here is all that you need to know about the six matches scheduled to take place in the Premier League on Friday.
Bournemouth vs Tottenham
- Location: Bournemouth, England
- Stadium: Vitality Stadium
- Date: Saturday 26 August
- Kick-off Time: 12:30 BST / 07:30 EST / 04:30 PST
- Referee: Tim Robinson
- VAR: John Brooks
In the early kick-off, Tottenham will be in a confident mood as they travel to the south coast after a deserved win at home against Manchester United last weekend. There is a real excitement around Ange Postecoglou's team now they have that win under their belts.
Bournemouth haven't got a victory on the board yet this season and were well-beaten by Liverpool at Anfield despite taking the lead. They will have their work cut out at the Vitality and would be very happy with a point.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace
- Location: London, England
- Stadium: Gtech Stadium
- Date: Saturday 26 August
- Kick-off Time: 15:00 BST / 10:00 EST / 07:00 PST
- Referee: Peter Bankes
- VAR: Andy Madley
Brentford have made another smart start to the season, showing their attacking teeth with five goals scored from their first two games. The Bees have to be the favourites to take all three points here.
Crystal Palace put in a valiant effort against Arsenal on Monday to only lose 1-0 and will want to harness whatever confidence they can from that display. However, the pace of Brentford's attack will be hard to handle.

Arsenal vs Fulham
- Location: London, England
- Stadium: Emirates Stadium
- Date: Saturday 26 August
- Kick-off Time: 15:00 BST / 10:00 ET / 07:00 PT
- Referee: Paul Tierney
- VAR: Darren England
Arsenal have managed to win their first two games of the Premier League season and, given Manchester City are yet to show a sign of weakness, it's imperative they get maximum points from home games such as this one.
The mood at Fulham is not great despite winning their first match against Everton. They lost 3-0 to Brentford at home last weekend and have seen Aleksandar Mitrovic leave the club for Saudi Arabia.

Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest
- Location: Manchester, England
- Stadium: Old Trafford
- Date: Saturday 26 August
- Kick-off Time: 15:00 BST / 10:00 ET / 07:00 PT
- Referee: Stuart Attwell
- VAR: Robert Jones
Manchester United need a victory at home against Nottingham Forest to stop public opinion from getting even more negative. The Red Devils are only ever one defeat away from a crisis and the loss at Tottenham was a damaging one.
Nottingham Forest will have their work cut out given just how good Man Utd's home record is in the Premier League, but they will think there is an opportunity to get something at Old Trafford here.

Everton vs Wolves
- Location: Everton, England
- Stadium: Goodison Park
- Date: Saturday 26 August
- Kick-off Time: 15:00 BST / 10:00 ET / 07:00 PT
- Referee: Craig Pawson
- VAR: Graham Scott
If we said the mood may be low around Manchester United, it certainly is at Everton. The Toffees have lost their first two games and were truly awful in the 4-0 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. Fears of relegation are already creeping in.
Wolves put in a very good display against Man Utd and were then battered 4-1 at home by Brighton. This game really could go either way but the losing set of fans will be fearful about their future prospects.

Brighton vs West Ham
- Location: Brighton, England
- Stadium: Amex Stadium
- Date: Saturday 26 August
- Kick-off Time: 17:30 BST / 12:30 ET / 09:30 PT
- Referee: Anthony Taylor
- VAR: David Coote
There is a feeling Brighton could be even better this season than they were last season, at least until their Europa League campaign starts to complicate matters. Roberto De Zerbi is doing something special on the south coast and they are favourites to win here.
That being said, West Ham impressed in their win over Chelsea last weekend and are looking forward to a season in which they should stay away from the relegation zone. It will be a very interesting match in Brighton.
