The Premier League returns to action this weekend with an action packed Saturday programme.

With both Manchester clubs not playing until later. third place Chelsea have the chance to move into second as they host Leicester at Stamford Bridge.

Like Chelsea, Tottenham could also make their move with their rivals in the top-four not playing. Spurs could move above fourth-placed Liverpool – who play on Sunday – if they seal a big enough win against Everton at Wembley.

The bottom two, Swansea and West Brom, are both in action on Saturday and they are in real need of three points as both are four points off safety.

Bottom-of-the-table Swansea travel to Newcastle, whilst West Brom welcome Brighton to The Hawthorns.

Southampton are only out of the drop-zone on goal difference and they are looking for their first win in six weeks as they take on Watford at Vicarage Road.

Two other teams just above the relegation places and in need of victories are Crystal Palace and West Ham. Palace host Burnley at Selhurst Park, as West Ham travel to Yorkshire to take on Huddersfield.

See below for a preview on each game, including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder Andy Gray, super agent and former Manchester City ace Barry Silkman, our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey and bet365’s Steve Freeth.
