Starting this intriguing Premier League weekend it’s the great London derby- Chelsea vs Arsenal. The last time these two clubs met Arsenal hammered Chelsea 3-0 and that defeat was so bad for Chelsea that it caused Conte to change their formation to 3-4-3 which has been working so well for them. During the encounter, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will sit amongst the Chelsea fans after picking up a touchline ban against Burnley for pushing and abusing fourth official Anthony Taylor.
We’ve got a fixture where the teams near the top of the league play against each other, and we’ve got a fixture where the teams at the bottom of the league play each other- as Crystal Palace clash with Sunderland. Sam Allardyce and Palace should be hopeful of securing a win as they beat Bournemouth comfortably in midweek 2-0.
With the later kick off Tottenham will expect to get a better result than their game against Sunderland mid week when they play Aitor Karanka’s Middlesbrough. Spurs unsuprisingly didn’t make any signings over the Summer, but Middlesbrough were the opposite of Spurs in signings buying four players, two of them strikers.
The final game of the weekend is Leicester against Manchester United. Leicester look dangerously close to the relegation zone in 16th, and they’re just two points off the zone too. Leicester and Manchester United are both winless in their last three Premier League games, although United have drawn all of them.
