10 things to look forward to in the Premier League this weekend

After a enthralling round of the Champions League, the Premier League is back in town this weekend and has bought another set of mouth-watering fixtures for the fans. There are a number of top class fixtures that can decide the season of a few clubs while some can effect the points table.

Surely, there is a lot to be playing for this weekend and here are 10 things to look out for in the Premier League this weekend:

  1. Tricky test for the Spurs:

FBL-EUR-C1-LEVERKUSEN-TOTTENHAM

Pochettino’s side are the only team yet to beaten in the Premier League this season but they have seen a slight slump in form last weekend. They will face a tougher test against the Cherries this weekend who are fresh from a 6-1 victory at home against Hull. Surely, it will be a game that the Spurs need to be at their best to get anything.

  1. Can Wenger make it 7 in 7?

Arsenal Training Session & Press Conference

Arsene Wenger’s side are in the middle of a 6 match winning streak and are in the form of their lie recently. They will welcome a Middlesbrough side this weekend that is showing signs of some form recently. It will be an interesting game for the Gunners who can make it 7 wins in 7 league games with a victory on the night.

  1. Turf Moor challenge for the Toffees:

Sean Dyche’s Burnley have been decent this season, especially at home and they will face Ronald Koeman’s Everton this weekend in a crunch tie for both teams. Both teams are picking up decent form recently and will produce a thrilling clash on the night this weekend.

  1. Can Stoke continue picking up points?

After a mediocre start to the season, Stoke City posted their first victory this season against Sunderland last weekend and will welcome Hull City to the Britannia this weekend. The Potters are unbeaten in their last 3 games and will hope to keep up their good run recently.

  1. Time for Leicester City to step-up:

The Champions of England are not off to a great start this season and are fresh from a 3-0 loss to Chelsea at the Bridge last weekend. They will however welcome a Crystal Palace side that is high on confidence as they hope to get back to winning ways in the league this season.

  1. No respite for Swansea:

After back to back losses against Arsenal and Liverpool, Swansea City will not face Walter Mazzari’s Watford side who have made a decent start to the season. The Hornets are unbeaten in the last two games and will hope to take maximum points from this trip to the Liberty stadium.

  1. High time for David Moyes:

With just 2 points from the first 6 games, Sunderland are still in search of their first victory this season and will face a West Ham side that are picking up some form recently. David Moyes has not been able to get the team to fight results out and it is high time for him to get his side back to winning ways to keep his job.

8. Can Tony Pulis keep up the Liverpool voodoo?

Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League

Liverpool have been superb in their approach to big games since the start of the previous season but have just not been able to finish off teams from the other end of the points table. They will now face the Baggies this weekend and will hope that they can better their last few results over Pulis’ side this weekend.

9. Tough test for Puel:

FC Barcelona v Manchester City FC - UEFA Champions League

After missing out on a point in the Europa League, Southampton will travel to the Etihad this weekend to face a Manchester City side that is fresh from a mauling against Barcelona away from home. The Citizens are winless in their last three games in all competitions and will have to get back to winning ways to keep their place at the top of the table intact.

10. Homecoming for Mourinho:

615844746

The new Manchester United manager will, for the first team since leaving Chelsea, be back at the Stamford Bridge this weekend. In one of the games of the season, Antonio Conte’s side, fresh from a victory over Leicester City, will welcome the Red Devils and will hope to pile more misery on their former boss on the night.
