Premier League football fans are gearing up for another exciting weekend of matches scheduled for February 22 and 23, 2025. Key matches including Arsenal vs. West Ham, Aston Villa vs. Chelsea, and Newcastle vs. Nottingham Forest will be broadcast live on True Premier Football channels.
The action kicks off with Arsenal hosting West Ham at the Emirates Stadium. After their recent triumph over Leicester City, where Mikel Merino (coming off the bench) netted both goals for the Gunners, Arsenal sits at second place in the league table with 53 points, trailing Liverpool by eight points. Unfortunately, they will be without several key players for this encounter, including Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli. This absence will undoubtedly challenge their squad depth. Meanwhile, West Ham is struggling, currently sitting 16th after suffering their fourth consecutive loss to Brentford. With only 27 points, they are hoping to find stability against their London rivals.
Later on the same day, Aston Villa will face Chelsea at Villa Park. Aston Villa secured a draw against league leaders Liverpool last week, marking their third game unbeaten. They find themselves positioned ninth with 39 points, equal with Fulham above them. Yet, the squad faces significant injuries, missing players such as Pau Torres and Boubacar Kamara. On the flip side, Chelsea is desperate for a win after two disappointing defeats, the latest being a 0-3 loss against Brighton. Currently sixth, they have 43 points, just one point behind Manchester City. With several injuries as well, including the absence of eight players like Mark Guehi and Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea will need to gather their resolve to regain form.
The weekend culminates with Newcastle United hosting Nottingham Forest. Newcastle, positioned seven in the league with 41 points, is trying to shake off the pain of their 0-4 defeat to Manchester City. They are grappling with injuries to three key players including Jamal Lascelles and Joelinton. But they face formidable opposition against Nottingham Forest, who are continuing their impressive run and currently sit third with 47 points, three points clear of Newcastle. Their strong play has them hoping to maintain their momentum and secure valuable points.
