Tottenham will be looking to consolidate their position in the top four this weekend as they travel to face Leicester City at the KP Stadium. They will have a good opportunity to move further ahead of Chelsea if the Blues lose to Manchester City and that is a good motivation for Mauricio Pochettino's men. It won't be an easy game though, as the home side have only lost five times this season and have players that can cause problems for …

While the 2-2 draw at Old Trafford may have been a bit disappointing, but four points from games against Tottenham and Manchester United has put Arsenal in a solid position in the top four race. To hold that position, Arsenal will need to win the games they are expected to and this is one of those. While they have expended a lot of energy in the last few weeks, this is a game Arsenal have to win to achieve their …

Ahead of the festive period, we find two teams stuttering towards Christmas, come up against each other - as an eighth-placed Manchester United host bottom-of-the-pile Fulham at Old Trafford this Saturday. Manchester United are in a state of complete non-existence right now - firmly mid-table, they have become one of those run-of-the-mill ordinary also-rans in a league they used to be competing for year-in year-out; especially going up a few gears at this stage of the season. Now, they are an irrelevance …

Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from their North London derby defeat with a win over managerless Southampton on Wednesday night. The match at Wembley comes at a great time for the home side, as they have an opportunity to recover so quickly after their loss on Sunday. It was a wake-up call for the Spurs' supporters, as it was a reminder that they aren't at the level of Manchester City or Liverpool. A title challenge is likely beyond …

After a very strong start to the season, Wolverhampton have fallen apart lately. Wolves have lost five of their last six matches, including losses to Brighton & Hove Albion, Huddersfield Town and, most recently, Cardiff City. Their form has seen them drop to 12th in the Premier League and they will have to turn things around soon if they are to avoid falling into the relegation scrap. Chelsea are hardly the ideal team for them to turn it around against, …

When Liverpool travelled to Turf Moor in the second game of the 2016-17 season, Jurgen Klopp was starting his first full season in charge of the Reds and his team had already defeated Arsenal in the first game. Then at Turf Moor they ran in to Sean Dyche’s Burnley and their low-block defence. Try as they may, the high-tempo Liverpool were not able to unlock that defence and lost the game 2-0. It almost became a template that teams adopted …

Arsenal and Tottenham meet on Sunday and it looks like they'll be engaged in another intense top four race this season. For Arsenal, that's not a bad outcome. After finishing sixth last season, the goal is to get back into the Champions League. Their performances haven't been great this season, but their results have carried them into this top four race. At this point in the season, Arsenal have a chance at the Champions League and a win over arch-rival …

There are a host of derbies taking place this weekend in the Premier League. The one set to happen at Stamford Bridge won’t be one of the most hotly anticipated, but there are some interesting sub-plots. Claudio Ranieri will be taking his Fulham team to face one of his former clubs. Meanwhile, Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from an embarrassing defeat to Tottenham. The Blues were considered contenders for the Premier League, but last weekend was a stark …
