The next round of Ladbrokes 1-2-Free is to be played on 10th/11th October 2026. Looking ahead, here are the nominated fixtures, along with our very own predictions (we provide our reasons why below).

Manchester United 3-1 Tottenham
Saturday evening at Old Trafford, and both these clubs arrive carrying questions. United have won once in five, the derby defeat to City followed by a Carabao Cup capitulation against Brighton and then a muted 1-1 at Fulham. Michael Carrick's position is not yet untenable, but another flat afternoon will shift the conversation.
Spurs offer the sort of opposition that can settle things down. They have gone five without a win, and the 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa was the kind of result that gets managers talked about rather than players. Whatever the summer was meant to deliver has not arrived.
Encouragingly for the visitors, that Villa game did produce two goals after a barren opening month. They should find the net again here. United simply have more going forward, and in front of a restless Old Trafford they ought to make it count.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest
There is an argument that this is the least glamorous fixture of the round and an equally strong one that it will be among the tightest. Palace came away from Elland Road with a goalless draw last time out, which told you everything about a side who defend diligently and create sparingly.
Forest have more about them going forward since beating Villa 2-1 in matchweek four, a win that lifted a campaign which had threatened to drift. They remain inconsistent, but the attacking pieces are starting to fit.
Selhurst Park has a way of dragging matches down to its own level, and Palace are rarely beaten comfortably there. A goal apiece, and few complaints from either dugout.
Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City
Anfield on Sunday, and the fixture of the weekend by some distance. City arrive with a perfect record — five wins, thirteen goals, and Erling Haaland top of the scoring charts with five after the 5-3 defeat of Sunderland.
Liverpool have not lost either, but three draws from five has quietly left them six points adrift of the leaders before the clocks have gone back. Andoni Iraola's first months have brought solidity without much spark; the 1-0 at Bournemouth was a case in point.
City are the better team on everything the season has shown so far. Anfield, though, has a habit of ignoring form in this fixture, and a draw would suit the hosts far more than the visitors.
