Welcome to the 7th Game Viewing Episode of the 2025-26 Season:

• Premier League: Arsenal vs. Nottingham Forest

The two teams have met 107 times in history, with Arsenal winning 55, drawing 23, and losing 29. Last season, Arsenal drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest away in the second leg of their Premier League campaign, ending their three-game winning streak. At home, Arsenal has won 10 and drawn 4 of their past 14 games against Nottingham Forest, including a perfect record of six. In the last league match, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Liverpool away, ending their two-game winning streak. Nottingham Forest suffered their first defeat of the season with a 0-3 home defeat to West Ham United.

Arsenal defenders Saliba, White, Nergal, Saka, Havertz, and Jesus are all injured in this match. The absence of Saliba and Saka, in particular, significantly impacts the team's offense and defense. Offensively, the team desperately needs new signing Jokers to step up, but he struggled during the recent international break. The Gunners may once again rely on set pieces to crack their opponents. Nottingham Forest, with Domingos sidelined due to injury and Oleksandr Zinchenko unable to play against Arsenal due to loan restrictions, is facing a major threat from Wood, who has scored two goals in the first three games.

• La Liga: Real Sociedad vs. Real Madrid

The two teams have met 156 times in history, with Real Madrid boasting 89 wins, 40 draws, and 27 losses. Real Sociedad has lost just one of their past 13 matches and is unbeaten in their last six meetings, with five wins and one draw. At Real Sociedad's home ground, Real Madrid has lost just one of their past seven away games, winning all three of those matches. The two teams have had a markedly different start to the new season. Real Sociedad has two draws and one loss in three matches, with no wins, while Real Madrid has won three games in a row and currently leads the La Liga standings.

In this match, Real Sociedad striker Takefusa Kubo is injured and will miss the match against his former club, Real Madrid. Oyarzabal, who contributed one goal and three assists for Spain during the international break, is the team's key offensive player, and his performance will determine whether the team can overturn the Galacticos. For Real Madrid, with injuries to Edouard Mendy, Camavinga, and Jules Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior have both performed well this season, scoring a combined five goals and providing confidence for the team's pursuit of a fourth consecutive victory.

• Serie A: Juventus vs. Inter Milan

In the second leg of last season's Serie A, Juventus defeated Inter Milan 1-0 at home, ending an embarrassing five-match winless streak. Inter Milan has only won one of their past 15 away games at Juventus's home ground, with two draws and two losses in their last four matches.

In the last round of Serie A, Juventus defeated Genoa 1-0 away, extending their winning streak to two games without conceding a single goal. They currently lead the Serie A standings with a two-match winning streak. Inter Milan suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 1-2 to Udinese at home. Although only two games have been played in the new season, this Derby d'Italia is crucial for both teams. Juventus sees this match as a test case for their title hopes, while Inter desperately needs a victory to boost their already sluggish morale heading into the new season.

For this match, Juventus defenders Cabal, Mireti, Conceicao, and Milik are out due to injuries, and Cambiasso is suspended. Vlahovic, who has regained form this season, has scored in each of the first two league matches and has also scored for the national team. He is a key player in the Bianconeri's chances of victory in the Derby d'Italia. Inter Milan's defense, formed by Lautaro and Thuram Jr., is extremely formidable. Whether they can prevent Juventus from conceding their first goal of the season will be a key interest.

• Premier League: Brentford vs. Chelsea

The two teams have met 23 times in history, with Chelsea holding the upper hand with 11 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, including 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 games. Chelsea has won 4 and drawn 4 of their last 8 away games at Brentford. In the last league round, Chelsea defeated Fulham 2-0 at home, currently ranking second with 2 wins and 1 draw; Brentford lost 1-2 away to Sunderland. In this match, Brentford forwards Nunez, Mahoma, Yanerte, and Kayode are out due to injuries. Thiago, who has scored 3 goals in the previous 4 games, is the forward most likely to threaten Chelsea's defense. For Chelsea, Colwell, Badiaciele, Lavia, Palmer, and Delap are out due to injuries, and Ganacho is expected to make his debut. Offensively, Pedro is in good form, scoring in the past two league games, and rising star Esteban is aiming for his first goal.

• Premier League: Burnley vs. Liverpool

The two teams have met 112 times in history, with Liverpool recording 52 wins, 26 draws, and 34 losses. They have won 11 of their last 13 matches against Burnley, remaining undefeated in their last five meetings. Liverpool have won their last six away games at Burnley's home ground, including eight of their last nine. In the last league match, Burnley suffered a 2-3 away defeat to Manchester United, suffering their second defeat of the season, conceding a last-minute goal. Liverpool defeated Arsenal 1-0 at home, extending their winning streak to three games and securing first place in the league.

In this match, Burnley forwards Amdouni, Roberts, Humphries, and Bayer are out due to injuries. Anthony, who has scored two goals and provided one assist in the past two league matches, is the Clarets' striker most likely to break Liverpool's defense. As for Liverpool, Frimpong is expected to return from injury, but Soboslai may still replace him in the starting right-back role. Isak is expected to make his debut. He, along with Salah and Ekitik, are all offensive scoring options for the team's frontcourt.

• Premier League: Manchester City vs. Manchester United

The two teams have met 195 times in history. Manchester City is the underdog in Manchester derbies with a record of 61 wins, 55 draws, and 79 losses. In the past four matches, Manchester United has two draws and two losses, but has no wins. This season, Manchester City has had a poor start, losing the past two league games. Manchester United secured their first win of the season with a 3-2 home victory over Burnley.

Currently, in the Premier League standings, Manchester City is 13th with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, while Manchester United is 9th with a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss. This season, Manchester City is aiming for the title, while Manchester United is aiming for a top-four finish. Therefore, for both Manchester clubs, this is a match neither can afford to lose. A defeat for City would mean three consecutive defeats, putting their chances of finishing in the top four, let alone the championship, in jeopardy. Conversely, for Manchester United, a loss would be a serious blow to team morale.

In this match, Manchester City wingers Serki, Murmas, and Kovacic are out due to injury. Newly-joined Donnarumma is expected to make his debut as the team's starting goalkeeper. Haaland, who has scored three goals in the first three league matches, is in excellent form. During the international break, he played twice for Norway, scoring six goals and providing two assists. Manchester United, with Lisandro Martínez out due to injury, is hoping for a strong performance from their €220 million duo, but Cunha's injury may limit his availability. In four games this season, only Mbomo has scored, while Cunha and Šeško are still waiting for their first goals.

• La Liga: Barcelona vs. Valencia

The two teams have met 230 times in history, with Barcelona winning 114, drawing 57, and losing 59. In the last 11 matches, Valencia has an overwhelming record of 9 wins and 2 draws. In the last round of the league, Barcelona drew 1-1 away to Rayo Vallecano, ending their two-game winning streak at the start of the season; Valencia defeated Getafe 3-0 at home, securing their first win of the season.

In this game, Barcelona defenders Balde, Gavi and De Jong were absent due to injuries. On the offensive end, Yamal, Ferran Torres and Rafinha have all performed well in the new season. Lewandowski, who recently recovered from injury, has not yet scored a goal, but his performance in the national team has improved. The Polish striker urgently needs to find the goal in preparation for the Champions League away game against Newcastle next week. Pedri, who shines in the national team, is also an important scoring point for the team recently. For Valencia, Duro and Danjuma are both forwards with strong impact, but whether they can have active space at the Nou Camp is an unknown.
