Of the Premier League’s three unbeaten sides, only Liverpool are in action on Saturday as they look to move top of the table.
With Chelsea and Manchester City not playing until Sunday – Liverpool have the chance to claim top spot but they face a difficult looking trip to Arsenal – who themselves haven’t lost since August.
Manchester United travel to Bournemouth in the opening game of the day looking to maintain their up-turn in form, but The Cherries hold the higher ground and victory would take them into the top-four, albeit probably only temporarily.
Arguably the game of the day, sees fifth placed Tottenham travel to Wolves – who are looking to bounce back to form following two successive defeats.
Cardiff claimed their opening win of the season last week which lifted them out of the bottom-three and they will look for back-to-back victories as they host Leicester – who play their first game since the tragic death of the owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
Brighton travel to Goodison Park looking for a fourth successive league win, which would take them above their hosts Everton.
Two out-of-form sides clash at the London Stadium as West Ham host Burnley – neither of whom have won in three games.
Finally, at the bottom only Newcastle of the bottom-three are in action as they host Watford looking to claim their first win of the season.
