Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
Nicolas Jackson is ready to impress, Spurs are scrambled and the 199th Manchester derby takes place at Old TraffordPremier League top scorers 2026-27: who is leading race for the golden boot?With 10 top-flight goal contributions between them across three games already this season, the Chelsea trio of Morgan Rogers, João Pedro and Cole Palmer are the early pace-setters for the Premier League’s most prolific, fluid and high octane attacking unit. But on the occasion of his 100th Premier League appearance, a scruffier and more ungainly unit will be hoping to steal their thunder, as high-flying Hull try to register a top-flight win against Chelsea for the very first time.
