The midweek Champions League action is done and dusted and attentions turn to what promises to be a thrilling weekend of drama in the Premier League .

After a pair of potentially damaging draws, top-of-the-table Arsenal managed to get their title charge back of track with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over bitter rivals Tottenham last time out.

Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres combined to torment Spurs in what what was an emphatic response to those doubting the Gunners’ credentials, with Manchester City snapping at their heels.

But Mikel Arteta ’s men know they can ill afford to rest on their laurels ahead of their clash with Chelsea , who will be hurting and have a point to prove after dropping points at home to lowly Burnley previously.

Second-placed Manchester City – who sit five points adrift of Arsenal – will look to keep the pressure on when they travel to a Leeds side languishing down in 15th.

Nico O’Reilly was the difference in City’s previous contest with Newcastle, scoring twice in a 2-1 win, and Pep Guardiola will be hoping for more of the same from his 20-year-old wonderkid at Elland Road.

At the other end of the table, relegation-threatened West Ham make the trip to Merseyside in pursuit of an almighty upset against the reigning champions Liverpool.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are undefeated in their last four matches in all competitions and an unlikely victory at Anfield could see them leapfrog Nottingham Forest into 17th place.

Elsewhere, Michael Carrick will be out to strengthen his case for the full-time job at Manchester United, with the Red Devils targeting a sixth win from seven versus Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Previewing all ten of this weekend’s fixtures for Sportskeeda , former England, Arsenal and Aston Villa star Paul Merson delivered his predictions and pinpointed where each game could be won and lost.
