Brighton vs Liverpool (English Premier League)
Liverpool without key players have managed to get the results to remain at the top end of the Premier League table.

Manchester City vs Burnley (English Premier League)

Everton vs Leeds (English Premier League)
After ending a streak of 3 defeats with a narrow victory against Fulham, Everton takes on Leeds United.
Of the promoted sides in the Premier League this season, Leeds United are expected to be the best performing side of the newly-promoted clubs.

West Brom vs Sheffield United (English Premier League)
If they remain consistent, we should be getting a draw.

Chelsea vs Tottenham (English Premier League)
A London Derby –
Tottenham will travel to Stamford Bridge after an impressive success at home against Manchester City in the last round.
Chelsea are 13 games unbeaten in all competitions; with their only defeat all season coming against Liverpool in the second round of the Premier League season.
With Tottenham being top of the table and Chelsea within a win from the top, the result from this fixture will impact the top end of the Premier League table.
Dortmund vs FC Koln (German Bundesliga)
A point from the top. Dortmund must keep up with wins to hopefully put an end to Bayern Munich’s title winning streak in the Bundesliga.
