The Premier League is going through with its fixture pile-up before the 2022 World Cup kicks-off in Qatar.

This means we have midweek games to look forward to.

Arsenal vs Manchester City has been moved because of the Gunners’ Europa League engagements.

But what three matches could we see shock results on Wednesday?

1. Brentford vs Chelsea: Thomas Frank’s men will be looking to record back-to-back victories at home when they welcome Chelsea to the Brentford Community Stadium. Although the Blues are yet to lose under new manager Graham Potter, they have not particularly played well. Luck and dodgy refereeing have seen Chelsea unbeaten under the former Brighton coach. It could all unravel against the Bees.

2. Liverpool vs West Ham: Yes, Liverpool claimed a huge 1-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday. Yes, they played well against the Premier League champions. But even Mohamed Salah’s goal had elements of fortune around it, as Joao Cancelo was somehow left all alone in defence in the 70th minute of the game, with the scores 0-0. West Ham will be stubborn and compact, looking to hit Liverpool on the break and claim a shock result.

3. Newcastle vs Everton: At Old Trafford on Sunday, Newcastle did not look their very best and that match against Manchester United could have easily gone either ways. Everton were desperately unlucky to lose to an abject Tottenham Hotspur side. This game at the typically raucous St James’ Park will be one to keep an eye on, as Frank Lampard might hand Dominic Calvert-Lewin his first start of the season in attack too.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
