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.
5 – Crystal Palace vs Sunderland
The upcoming clash between Crystal Palace and Sunderland at Selhurst Park promises to be a tightly contested affair. Crystal Palace, currently 8th in the Premier League, are coming off a strong run, remaining unbeaten in their last three matches, including a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa and draws against Nottingham Forest and Chelsea. Sunderland, sitting 6th, have shown flashes of brilliance with home wins against Brentford and West Ham but struggled away, notably losing to Burnley. However, their inconsistent away form and defensive frailties could be a concern against Palace’s potent attack.
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between Crystal Palace and Sunderland is remarkably even, reflecting their competitive history:
Total Matches (since 2003): 15
Crystal Palace Wins: 6
Sunderland Wins: 6
Draws: 3
The balanced head-to-head record and both teams’ recent form, a draw seems likely. Crystal Palace’s home advantage is offset by Sunderland’s attacking potential, making a 1-1 or 2-2 scoreline a reasonable forecast. Expect a competitive match with both sides creating chances but struggling to secure all three points.
8 – Manchester City vs Manchester United
The Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium is set to be a blockbuster clash as Manchester City host rivals Manchester United. Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, are 9th and showing signs of resurgence. This fixture often produces fireworks, but recent predictions suggest a 2-2 draw is likely, reflecting United’s improved resilience and City’s dominance tempered by their recent performance.
Head-to-Head Record
The Manchester derby has been fiercely contested, with City holding a slight edge in recent years:
Total Matches (since 2003): 24
Manchester City Wins: 12
Manchester United Wins: 8
Draws: 4
This derby is too close to call definitively, but a high-scoring draw (2-2 or 3-3) is a strong possibility. City’s attacking firepower meets United’s growing confidence, and both teams’ defensive vulnerabilities suggest goals at both ends. Expect a thrilling, end-to-end encounter with neither side willing to concede ground.
11 – Charlton Athletic vs Millwall
The South London derby between Charlton Athletic and Millwall at The Valley is set to deliver another chapter of intense rivalry. Charlton, currently mid-table in the Championship (12th), have been inconsistent but showed resilience in a recent 1-1 draw against Preston and a 2-0 win over Bristol City. Millwall, sitting 16th, have been tough to beat. This fierce derby is historically low-scoring and cagey, with both sides prioritizing not losing over risking everything for a win.
