This week classic pools fixtures for UK 2025/2026 season, should see some close ties at both ends of the table across various leagues. Local pride will be at stake across most fixtures with what should be entertaining matches this weekend. We’ve looked through the fixtures and provided head-to-head statistics for five matches we think have the potential to end in a draw.
1 – Brighton vs Manchester City
Brighton & Hove Albion host Manchester City in a highly anticipated Premier League clash on August 31, 2025. The Seagulls, have shown resilience at home, with a 3-0 win over Everton and a late draw against Fulham this season. Their attacking fluidity, contrasts with occasional defensive frailties. Manchester City, remain title contenders despite defensive concerns, conceding 2.79 big chances per game since early October 2024.
This match promises goals, as eight of the last ten Premier League meetings between these sides have seen over 2.5 goals. Brighton’s home form and City’s attacking prowess suggest a competitive encounter, with a draw a strong possibility given recent trends and Brighton’s ability to challenge top teams at the Amex.
Head-to-Head Record:
Total Meetings: 34 (all competitions)
Brighton Wins: 7
Draws: 6
Man City Wins: 21
Both teams’ attacking intent and defensive vulnerabilities point to a high-scoring draw, likely 2-2, mirroring their March 2025 encounter. Brighton’s home advantage and City’s injury concerns could balance the scales, making this a must-watch battle.
9 – Wolves vs Everton
Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Everton to Molineux for a pivotal Premier League encounter on August 30, 2025. Wolves, languishing in 20th place, are fighting to escape the relegation zone after a challenging season marked by a 2-1 defeat to Fulham and a heartbreaking FA Cup exit to Bournemouth on penalties.
Everton, sitting comfortably in 9th, have been revitalized under David Moyes’ second stint, boasting a seven-match unbeaten run in the league, including a dominant 4-0 win over Wolves in December 2024 at Goodison Park. Given both teams’ physical approaches and recent trends, Everton have drawn three of their last four league games, while Wolves have lost 15 of their past 22 home matches, a tightly contested draw seems plausible.
