With the top-five not in action until Sunday, the rest of the Premier League have a chance to close the gap.

Both Liverpool and Burnley have the chance to move level with Chelsea in fourth, but goal-difference wise means neither will end Saturday in that position.

Liverpool begin the day in sixth, but they do not play until the late game when they face West Ham United at the London Stadium.

The weekend begins with a Midlands derby clash as Stoke City host Leicester at the bet365 Stadium as new Foxes boss Claude Puel looks for back-to-back wins.

Newcastle look to maintain their place in the top-half, and look to get back to winning ways as they host second-from-bottom Bournemouth at St James’ Park.

West Brom look for their first win since August as they travel to Huddersfield, whilst Southampton host Burnley at St Mary’s.

Finally, it is something of an early season six-pointer as Swansea welcome Brighton to the Liberty Stadium.

See below for a run-down on the games, including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder Andy Gray, leading agent Barry Silkman, our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey and bet365’s Steve Freeth.
