There’s some interesting games in the Premier League this weekend, both at the top and bottom ends of the table.
Chelsea welcome manager-less Manchester United, looking to continue their fine form and maintain their spot at the top of the league.

The Blues have lost just one league match all season, while United have lost five and sit in eighth.

Second and fourth place also go head to head, with Manchester City hosting West Ham.

City are off the back of an impressive Champions League win against PSG and will be looking to take that momentum into their game against the Hammers.

Liverpool currently sit in third, just four points away from Chelsea, and are set to take on Southampton.

The Reds have lost just once all season and boast the competition’s top goal scorer, Mohamed Salah, who has netted 10 goals already.

A win over Newcastle United for Arsenal could see them finally move back into the top four, with the Gunners losing just once in their last 11 games.

The Magpies are the only side in the division still without a win but will be hoping to turn a corner under new manager Eddie Howe.

Norwich have won their last two matches, looking to build up some momentum as they hit a busy Christmas period.

This starts at the weekend, when they play sixth placed Wolves who are on a fantastic run of form under new manager Bruno Lage.

Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur travel to Burnley, where they will look to build on the first league win under Antonio Conte they got last time out.

They can take a big step towards the top four with a win, while Burnley could move out of the relegation zone if they get three points.

A win would see the Clarets rise above Leeds United, unless the latter are victorious when they take on Brighton.

Steven Gerrard will take charge of his second game as manager of Aston Villa on Saturday, with his side visiting Crystal Palace.

The game sees two Premier League legends go head to head with Gerrard and Patrick Viera in the dugout.

Claudio Ranieri will return to Leicester City, this time as manager of Watford, when the Foxes take on the Hornets.

Impressive wins against Everton and Manchester United have seen the London side improve drastically from the start of the season, and they will look to continue this against a Leicester side in poor from.

Finally, the Toffees take on Brentford in the remaining game this weekend, looking to put a stop to their slump under Rafa Benitez.
