Watford vs Liverpool – Full match preview
Saturday, 3pm KO
Liverpool are only two points adrift of league leaders Manchester City but the performances have not been convincing of late. The international break came at a good time for Jurgen Klopp’s side but they will need to guard against complacency against Watford this weekend.
Watford have been something of a surprise package in the Premier League this season and will be out to take advantage if Liverpool have one eye on next week’s crucial Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Hornets have got a positive result in two of their last three home league matches against Liverpool and could spring a surprise against the Reds this weekend.
Fulham vs Southampton – Full match preview
Saturday, 3pm KO
Fulham will hope to benefit from new manager bounce on Saturday after replacing Slavisa Jokanovic with former Premier League-winning manager Claudio Ranieri before the international break.
The Cottagers were the first Premier League side to sack their manager this season and a victory on Saturday could trigger the next one, with Mark Hughes under huge pressure at Southampton.
Southampton have only scored one goal in their last four away league matches, suffering a heavy 6-1 defeat to Manchester City on their last match on the road.
Brighton vs Leicester – Full match preview
Saturday, 3pm KO
Leicester have coped magnificently since the tragic death of their chairman and Claude Puel is determined for the club to try and focus on football.
The Foxes are unbeaten in their last three matches and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last two.
Brighton have lost successive matches heading into Saturday’s match and have failed to score in each of their last two against Leicester.
As Leicester have not managed to score more than one goal in any of their last five outings, a narrow away victory looks likely here.
Tottenham vs Chelsea – Full match preview
Saturday, 5:30pm KO
Tottenham and Chelsea are separated by just a point ahead of their Wembley meeting on Saturday and it’s fair to say that neither team have hit top gear this season.
Keeping Eden Hazard under wraps will be key to Tottenham’s chances of getting a positive result, while the same is true of Chelsea and Harry Kane.
Tottenham are the only team yet to draw a Premier League game this season but a tough encounter is expected between the two sides on Saturday night.
Bournemouth vs Arsenal – Full match preview
Sunday, 1:30pm KO
Arsenal are unbeaten in all competitions since August and are showing signs of great progress under new manager Unai Emery.
The Gunners, however, need to get back to winning ways after drawing their last three in the Premier League.
Bournemouth, like Watford as mentioned earlier, have exceeded expectations in the Premier League this season and will offer Arsenal a stern test.
There have been over 2.5 goals in nine of Arsenal’s last 10 away league matches and the same is true in seven of Bournemouth’s last eight league games.
Burnley vs Newcastle – Full match preview
Monday, 8pm KO
Neither side are in good form heading into Monday’s Premier League encounter at Turf Moor.
Sean Dyche and Rafa Benitez would have earmarked this as a huge opportunity to get three points on the board but neither may get their wish.
Newcastle have failed to win their last eight away league matches, while Burnley have failed to win their last five in the league.
Furthermore, three of the last four encounters between the two sides have ended in a draw.
