This weekend’s Premier League fixtures fall under a generally cloudy and chilly mid‑January spell, with light winds, mist, and patches of fog affecting several regions.

Conditions vary slightly across the country, but a common theme is the dominance of cloud, occasional outbreaks of rain, and limited brighter intervals. Here’s what you can expect for each of this weekend’s Premier League fixtures.

Saturday fixtures

Manchester United vs Manchester City – Old Trafford

Saturday begins on a mostly cloudy note in Manchester, with some showery outbreaks possible during the morning. While the cloud dominates for much of the day, there is scope for some brighter spells developing later in the afternoon. Winds remain light, helping keep conditions fairly settled, but temperatures will remain on the chilly side, reaching a maximum of around 7°C. Spectators heading to Old Trafford should wrap up warmly, especially with the cool, damp feel lingering through the early part of the day.

Chelsea vs Brentford – Stamford Bridge

In west London, cloud and light rain or drizzle are expected during the early part of the day, particularly in eastern areas. However, this should gradually ease, allowing for brighter conditions further west. Winds will be light throughout, but mist is likely to form overnight, and fog patches could develop, particularly later in the evening. Another spell of rain is possible overnight, so those travelling home after the match may encounter deteriorating conditions. Maximum temperatures here will be near 10°C, making it one of the milder fixtures of the weekend.

Leeds United vs Fulham – Elland Road

Leeds is set for a predominantly cloudy day with a chance of rain or showers at times. Conditions should become drier as the afternoon progresses, offering slightly improved weather around kick‑off. Light winds and the potential for mist and fog patches overnight may cause tricky visibility later in the evening. Temperatures are expected to reach around 9°C.

Liverpool vs Burnley – Anfield

Similar to conditions in Manchester, Liverpool will see a cloudy start with some showery outbreaks possible. As the day progresses, brighter spells may break through, helping to improve conditions for both players and fans. Winds will remain light, and the cool air will persist, with highs around 7°C. Supporters should prepare for a brisk feel, especially in shaded areas of the stadium.

Sunderland vs Crystal Palace – Stadium of Light

Sunderland experiences a mainly cloudy day with a chance of rain or showers during the morning and early afternoon. Later in the day, the weather may turn somewhat drier. Light winds will prevail, but mist and fog patches are likely overnight, particularly across higher terrain. The maximum temperature of 8°C maintains the cool theme of the weekend fixtures.

Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Further south, London again sees cloudy conditions, with light rain or drizzle in the east gradually dying out. Brighter intervals may appear further west. Light winds continue, and mist formation overnight is expected, with the potential for fog patches. Another period of rain is probable later in the night, potentially affecting post‑match travel. Maximum temperatures reach around 10°C.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal – The City Ground

Nottingham will see generally cloudy conditions with a chance of rain and showers through the day. As with Leeds, the afternoon looks drier, giving supporters a somewhat improved experience by kick‑off. Light winds are expected, and mist or fog patches may form overnight, particularly over higher ground. Highs of around 9°C complete the picture of a cool, grey day.

Sunday fixtures

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United – Molineux Stadium

Sunday’s fixtures in the Midlands come under a blanket of persistent cloud. Fog is likely and may be slow to clear during the day, reducing visibility at times. This, combined with patchy frost forming under any clearer skies, creates a cold feel both day and night. Supporters travelling early should be aware of potentially reduced visibility on local roads, and temperatures will remain low throughout.

Aston Villa vs Everton – Villa Park

Weather conditions at Villa Park mirror those expected at nearby Molineux, with a largely cloudy day and stubborn fog patches. Frost is a possibility under any clearer breaks overnight, and daytime temperatures remain chilly. These conditions could make the pitch feel heavy and the air cool, so players may find endurance tested, particularly during the early stages of the match.

Monday fixture

Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth – American Express Stadium

The Monday night fixture on the south coast is unlikely to escape the cloudy theme of the weekend. Brighton can expect generally overcast skies with the chance of drizzly rain and scattered showers. Bright or clear spells will be limited, and light winds will contribute to lingering fog patches. Temperatures are expected to sit close to normal for the time of year. Supporters should plan for damp conditions both en route to the stadium and during the match.
