Premier League Fixtures: Week 10 Schedule, Score Predictions for EPL Matchday

Premier League leaders Manchester City will undergo another rigorous examination when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur in Week 10 and could fall from the summit if they fail to win.

Pep Guardiola's men are level on points with Liverpool but could slip behind Spurs if they are beaten at Wembley Stadium on Monday evening.

Liverpool appear to have a far simpler task at hand, although upcoming opponents Cardiff City do look a more dangerous prospect after beating Fulham 4-2 on Saturday to claim their first league win of the season.

Manchester United are 10th but could climb into the top six with a win over Everton on Sunday, while Chelsea and Arsenal—tied for third—travel to Burnley and Crystal Palace, respectively, on the same day.

Read on for a preview of the Week 10 slate and a look towards the bigger fixtures on the schedule, complete with score predictions.

Preview

After City ran away with last season's Premier League title, it's been encouraging to see other teams move closer to their level in 2018-19, one of whom is Spurs.

Despite making no signings in the summer—the first Premier League club to do so since the transfer window was introduced—Tottenham have kept up the pace and are two points off the top heading into Week 10.

Sports analyst Duncan Alexander attested to this being a rare season in terms of quality among the Premier League elite, highlighting one other advantage City hold over Spurs:

Mauricio Pochettino's men have the home advantage at Wembley and appear to have their defence in order now, having conceded just one in their past four games after leaking six in their first five.

Commentator Adam Summerton hailed the quality of strikers set to be on display on Monday evening, with Harry Kane seeking to end his run of two league outings without a goal:

The game at Anfield shouldn't be as hard to call, though, and it almost appears a matter of how many Liverpool will score against Cardiff, who notched their first Premier League win since April 2014 on Saturday.

Nonetheless, one can bank on the Reds having a far steelier back line than Fulham. And though Liverpool's attack hasn't impressed quite as much as last season, reporter Keith Costigan found cause for comfort for Reds fans:

Cardiff's only clean sheets this season have come in the form of stalemate draws against Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town, the bottom two teams who have scored a combined 10 goals this season.

Needless to say, the Bluebirds defence will be under pressure at Anfield, with Liverpool hoping to boost their goal difference in the title chase.
