Sunday Football at The Bedford: Leeds vs Man United and Forest vs Arsenal

Sunday 18 October 2026 · Tunbridge Wells

Four Premier League fixtures · NFL opponents still TBC

Looking for live football in Tunbridge Wells this Sunday? The Bedford’s Fanzo schedule lists three Premier League matches at 2pm, followed by Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal at 4:30pm. Leeds vs Manchester United leads the sound-on afternoon coverage, with Bournemouth vs Sunderland and Brighton vs Crystal Palace also listed. Here is your guide to the confirmed football pairings, plus the two NFL slots whose opponents remain unannounced on Fanzo.

Today’s Fanzo schedule — Sunday 18 October

All times are BST. We open at 12pm midday. The three 2pm matches overlap: ask the team which screen has your game. Sunday closing is 11pm, so the late NFL listing does not mean full-game coverage beyond closing.

Bournemouth vs Sunderland: three points on the south coast

Bournemouth have the home advantage as Sunderland visit for the afternoon kick-off. Three Premier League points are the prize, and the balance between committing players forward and protecting against counterattacks is a useful tactical thread to follow. Can the hosts turn pressure into chances, or will Sunderland make their opportunities on the break count?

Team news: We could not verify a current, match-specific injury bulletin for either side before publication. No absences or predicted starting XIs are being treated as confirmed.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace: rivalry meets a winning run

Brighton’s official preview says Albion are chasing a fourth successive Premier League victory and are unbeaten in six matches across all competitions. Palace offer a particularly awkward test: they have won their last two league visits to Brighton. For the hosts, this is a chance to keep their winning run going and reverse that home record; for Palace, another away win would bring both points and rivalry bragging rights.

Team news: Brighton’s pre-match update rules out Yankuba Minteh, Mats Wieffer and Kaoru Mitoma for this weekend. Pascal Struijk is being assessed following further recovery time. Fabian Hurzeler reported no fresh injury concerns after Thursday’s European win.

The same club preview reports that Palace expected Dean Henderson, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Takehiro Tomiyasu to be in contention, with Ben Chilwell being assessed. Axel Disasi is suspended. Being in contention is not confirmation of a starting place.

Leeds vs Manchester United: Elland Road rivalry, sound on

A meeting of Leeds and Manchester United brings an extra edge to the contest for league points. Leeds will want to make home advantage count, while United must manage the atmosphere as well as the opposition. Watch the midfield battle and the moments just after possession changes: composure under pressure could matter as much as the quality of the final pass.

Team news: Manchester United’s official update says Noussair Mazraoui could return to the squad for the Leeds trip. That is a possible return, not a confirmed selection. We have not verified a complete matchday injury list for either team; the starting line-ups will provide the final picture closer to kick-off.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal: the 4:30pm finale

Forest host Arsenal in the final Premier League fixture on today’s Bedford listing. For Forest, a home win would take three points from a demanding opponent; Arsenal have the opportunity to add an away victory to their league campaign. Watch whether the visitors can create sustained pressure without leaving room for Forest to break into, and how the hosts use set pieces to threaten.

Team news: Current match-specific injury and suspension details could not be independently verified before publication. We are not carrying over old injury reports or guessing the line-ups.

NFL this evening: opponents still to be confirmed

Fanzo includes NFL slots at 6pm and 9:30pm, but labels both “TBC vs TBC”. No specific NFL matchup, team news or playoff implications can be confirmed from that listing. Ask the bar team for the selected games and available coverage before travelling specifically for American football.
