Man United SHOCKED By Hull! Brentford Destroy Spurs, Villa Dreadful & GW2 Preview | FootyVaultHQ

Gameweek 1 of the Premier League 2026/27 season is done — and it was absolutely wild. The FootyVaultHQ panel is back with the full review, the biggest talking points, transfer updates, and our best betting tips for Gameweek 2. 🏆 GW1 RESULTS REVIEW Man United's nightmare is our starting point. Hull City, newly promoted, put two past a shambolic United side in the first half through Semi Ajayi (17') and Nobel Mendy (38') to win 2-0. This is Michael Carrick's side losing to a newly promoted team in their very first league game — and the calls for reinforcements in the transfer window are now deafening. Arsenal continued where they left off — 3-0 against Coventry, Havertz, Saka and Odegaard all on the scoresheet. Brentford absolutely destroyed Spurs 3-0 in a one-sided London derby that raised serious early questions about whether Spurs can challenge this season. Brighton were similarly ruthless, hammering Aston Villa 4-0 — and the Unai Emery handshake drama is back on the agenda after Villa's manager once again refused to shake hands at full time following a dreadful performance. Man City bounced back from the Community Shield humiliation to beat Bournemouth 2-1 in Enzo Maresca's first Premier League win. Newcastle and Liverpool produced the thriller of the weekend — a 2-2 draw where Szoboszlai's late penalty denied Newcastle all three points and raised fresh questions about Liverpool's defensive fragility. Chelsea edged Fulham 3-2 in the West London derby, with João Pedro, Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer all on target. 💸 TRANSFER UPDATES The window is still open and the panel discusses the rumours: Carlos Baleba to United, Savio and Marmoush to Spurs, Liam Delap to Forest, and Allan Saint-Maximin and Rayan Cherki to City. 📅 GW2 PREVIEW Crystal Palace vs Man City — Maresca's first real test away from home. Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest. Tottenham vs Newcastle — the biggest game of the weekend. Chelsea vs Brighton. Manchester United vs Ipswich — United desperately need a response. Aston Villa vs Arsenal — the panel's pick of the round. 🎰 BETTING TIPS FOR THE WEEK The panel's best accumulator picks and value bets for GW2 — full breakdown in the episode.
