There are some huge games in the Premier League this weekend that could have big impacts on the current league table.

Manchester United host Manchester City on Saturday, with pressure constantly building on Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

A loss to City this weekend could see the Norwegian lose his job while their opponents go into second place, but a win could propel his side back into the top four.

Current second place side Liverpool visit fourth placed West Ham on Sunday, with both teams needing wins to keep their superb seasons on track.

The Reds are yet to lose in any competition so far, while the Hammers have shocked everyone and currently sit fourth in the league, top of their Europa League group and in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup.

Top of the league Chelsea host relegation-threatened Burnley, looking to extend their lead in first place.

The Blues have conceded just three goals in the league this season and will be relishing the chance to play the 18th placed Clarets.

Former Blues manager Antonio Conte will take charge of his first Premier League match as manager of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, facing off against Everton.

Spurs are currently ninth in the league, while the Toffees find themselves tenth after a poor run of form.

North London rivals Arsenal have had a good run of results, with their most recent win over Leicester putting them sixth in the table.

A win this weekend against Watford could see them move into the top four, depending on West Ham and Manchester United’s results.

Elsewhere, Leicester City travel to Leeds United, looking to push back into the top half of the table.

The Foxes have struggled this season, not showing the same levels they have in the previous two campaigns under Brendan Rodgers.

Crystal Palace are on a high after their fantastic 2-0 win over Manchester City last weekend and will look to take that momentum into their match against the high-flying Wolves.

Their opponents are currently seventh in the league, just four points away from the Champions League places following a run of four wins from their last five games.

Bottom of the league Norwich are still looking for their first win of the season and will try at the 11th attempt this weekend when they face Brentford.

The newly promoted sides have had differing fortunes since the start of the campaign, with the Bees sitting 12th while the Canaries are rock bottom.

Newcastle United are the only other team in the league who haven’t won yet, finding themselves 19th in the table.

They take on Brighton on Saturday, with the Seagulls on a high after coming from behind to draw 2-2 away to Liverpool last weekend.

Finally, Southampton host Aston Villa on Friday night, looking to build on their 1-0 win over Watford in their previous fixture.

Villa have lost four games in a row themselves, with pressure starting to pile on to manager Dean Smith.
