After all but one team featured in midweek games, there is a full plate of 10 games available from Saturday through Monday. If you were curious, the one team that did not play this past week was Manchester City. The Sky Blues’ game against Arsenal was postponed so the Gunners could makeup their Europa League fixture with PSV.
On the topic of league-leading Arsenal, Mikel Arteta’s squad looks to improve with a trip to Southampton. Arsenal is on a four-game win streak. That run of form is by far the longest. In fact, only Liverpool can say it has won successive games in recent fixtures. Liverpool looks for three wins in a row when it travels to the City Ground to play Nottingham Forest.
However, there is one game on everybody’s attention this weekend. On Saturday, Manchester United travels to London to take on Chelsea. This top-four clash comes with both teams on good, but not perfect, form. Both United and Chelsea have two wins and a draw in their last three games. Chelsea holds that one-point advantage over United in the table following its unbeaten run of five games in the league.
Finally, the relegation battle is already something to watch. Wolves and Leicester, currently placed 18th and 19th in the table, have a date at Molineux on Sunday. Both clubs are desperate for a win, particularly as both clubs had ambitions of a top-half finish in the league.
GOAL RUSH returns this weekend, as well. The whip-around style show is during the 9 a.m. kickoff window on Sunday, when there are four games.
