Sunday's schedule features Everton vs Brighton and Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest early, concluding with Fulham vs Manchester United at Craven Cottage. Everton hosts the first Premier League fixture at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium after a 1-0 loss to Leeds. Brighton drew 1-1 with Fulham, conceding in the 96th minute. Palace held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw while Forest beat Brentford 3-1 with Chris Wood scoring twice. Forest took Palace's Europa League place after Palace were demoted for breaking multi-club ownership rules. Manchester United seek a response following a 1-0 loss to Arsenal.
All four teams playing in the day's earlier games should have ambitions of finishing in the top half of the table, if not setting their sights on European competition. Everton, playing the first Premier League fixture at their brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium, are coming off a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Leeds United, while Brighton drew 1-1 with Fulham last weekend after conceding in the 96th minute.
Meanwhile, FA Cup holders Palace were steadfast in holding Chelsea to a 0-0 draw, and Forest beat Brentford 3-1 on the back of striker Chris Wood's brace. The game has added spice because Forest took Palace's place in the Europa League after the London club were demoted for breaking multi-club ownership rules. The big match of the day sees Man United travel to Craven Cottage. After coming up short against Arsenal in a 1-0 loss, United will look to get in the win column.
