Sunday’s Premier League fixtures promise plenty of excitement.

Later in the day, Fulham will take on Manchester United, with United hoping their revamped forward line of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko can finally secure a first win of the season.

Before that clash, Everton host Brighton in what will be the very first league game at their brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Elsewhere, Crystal Palace meet Nottingham Forest in a match that carries extra spice—Forest took Palace’s Europa League place after the Eagles were demoted for breaking multi-club ownership rules.

Stay tuned for live highlights and key moments from all of Sunday’s games.

Arsenal Beat Spurs to Eberechi Eze – Why They Wanted Him

When it seemed Arsenal’s summer transfer window was over, they swooped late to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, snatching him away from Tottenham at the last minute.

The Gunners had already invested close to £200 million on striker Viktor Gyökeres, midfielder Martín Zubimendi, and others as they look to build on last season’s Champions League semifinal run and another second-place Premier League finish.

The Eze deal will cost £67.5m (an initial £60m plus £7.5m in add-ons), but Arsenal felt it was worth paying just to beat Spurs to the player.

Eze leaves Palace as a legend, having scored the winning goal in their historic FA Cup final victory over Manchester City and starting this season by helping Palace defeat Liverpool on penalties in the Community Shield.

How Arsenal Hijacked Spurs’ Move

Spurs thought they had secured Eze after reaching an agreement worth £60m plus add-ons. Palace wanted to keep him long enough to play in their Conference League tie, and Tottenham agreed to wait.

That hesitation opened the door for Arsenal. With Kai Havertz sidelined by injury and concerns over midfield depth, Arsenal quickly reignited their interest. Knowing Eze was a boyhood Arsenal fan, the deal accelerated quickly, and once he chose the Gunners, Spurs backed out.

Why Arsenal Needed Eze

At first, replacing an injured striker with an attacking midfielder might seem odd. But Arsenal’s strategy makes sense: Gyökeres is the main No. 9, with Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Merino, and Leandro Trossard providing cover. Instead, Arsenal wanted more creativity and depth in midfield and wide positions.

Eze fits perfectly—able to play as a winger, No. 10, or box-to-box No. 8. On the left side, he offers a creative balance to Bukayo Saka on the right. His dribbling, decision-making, and versatility give Mikel Arteta another tactical weapon.

It may put him in direct competition with Gabriel Martinelli—Eze brings flair and creativity, while Martinelli adds raw pace. This variety gives Arteta more options to adapt to opponents throughout the season.

NFL: Shedeur Sanders Confident Despite Struggles

Shedeur Sanders believes he will secure a spot on the Cleveland Browns’ 53-man roster, even after a rough outing in preseason against the Los Angeles Rams.

Sanders completed just 3 of 6 passes for 14 yards, was sacked five times, and managed only one first down in five series. Asked if he thinks he’ll make the team, he simply replied: “Obviously.”

The rookie, a fifth-round draft pick, is battling in a crowded quarterback room with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Tyler Huntley, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. The Browns’ GM has already suggested keeping four quarterbacks is a real possibility.

Sanders had impressed earlier in preseason before missing a game with an injury. Saturday’s struggles left him frustrated, particularly when Huntley replaced him late in the fourth quarter and led the Browns to a game-winning field goal.

“In the heat of the battle, you want to be that guy,” Sanders admitted. “You want to be on the field in those moments. But I was happy Huntley handled business.”

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders wasn’t solely to blame for the offense’s struggles but admitted he wanted Huntley to finish the final drive. Flacco has already been named the Week 1 starter, with Pickett listed as backup. Sanders and Gabriel sit third and fourth on the depth chart.

Despite the setback, Sanders insists he’ll keep pushing: “I’ve put in the work. I believe I belong here. I want to be a player who changes a franchise.
