Everton will unveil its new stadium this weekend, hosting Brighton at the 53,000-seat Bramley-Moore Dock arena for the first competitive match, marking the club’s move from long-time home Goodison Park. Everton began the season with a 1-0 loss at Leeds.
Meanwhile, Arsenal could introduce new signing Eberechi Eze to fans at Emirates Stadium against Leeds on Saturday, following a reported £67.5 million ($90.8 million) deal from Crystal Palace, beating rival Tottenham for the England forward. Eze is expected to play his final match for Palace in a Europa Conference League qualifier, with no official comment from either club yet.
Other key fixtures include Liverpool visiting Newcastle on Monday amid Alexander Isak transfer drama, and Manchester City hosting Tottenham on Saturday after strong opening wins. Players to watch include Viktor Gyokeres for Arsenal, Jack Grealish for Everton, and Manchester United’s potential trio of attackers: Sesko, Mbeumo, and Cunha.
