Arsenal would be heading for this game in search of a win after back to back losses. The Gunners were riding high on a 22 games unbeaten run in all competitions before they succumbed to a 3-2 loss at Southampton last weekend, they were beaten 2-0 at home again by Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and it seems like the time has come for them to show how much they have improved under Unai Emery. They haven’t lost at home in the league since the start of the season and they have beaten Tottenham, Qarabag, and Huddersfield at the Emirates this month, their fans would be expecting them to earn another win here just before Christmas. Burnley are struggling this season and the Clarets are yet to recover from their participation in the Europa League earlier in the season. They come into this game in the relegation zone as they have collected just 12 points all season and only 4 of those points have come away from home. The Clarets have lost all of their last 3 matches against the Gunners.

Manchester United and Liverpool face off in the Premier League’s biggest game of the weekend as the Reds look to remain at the top of the Premier League table while the Red Devils look to close the gap on the top four before it gets too big. Liverpool needed to win 1-0 at home in the Champions League on Tuesday, and the Reds did just that  now they would turn their attention towards unseating Manchester City at the top of the league table as the Cityzens are expected to beat Everton on Saturday. Liverpool have won 13 of their 16 Premier League games this season and remain the only English team yet to be beaten at this stage of the season. Manchester United suffered a 2-1  loss against Valencia in their Champions League game on Wednesday, while that is not an ideal way to prepare for a game against Liverpool, their fans would feel that was a hugely understrength United side. With Liverpool facing an injury crisis in defence, Manchester United would be looking to take advantage and maintain their good record under Jose Mourinho against the Reds. Manchester United have won 1 and drawn 3 of their last 4 meetings with Liverpool.

Manchester City would be looking to get back to winning ways as well as the top of the Premier League table when they host Everton in this early kickoff, but the Toffees almost always gets a result when they visit the Cityzens. Chelsea defeated City 2-0 to bring their unbeaten run to an end, but the Cityzens have a 100 percent record at the Etihad in the league this season, and they haven’t lost consecutive Premier League games in a long long time. A win or draw here would take them temporarily to the top of the Premier League table, but they face an in-form Everton side in this game. Apart from their recent form in the league generally, Everton have a good record when they play Manchester City at the Etihad. The Toffees haven’t lost in 4 of their last 6 visits there and the Cityzens have scored more than a goal in only one of those six games. Marcos Silva’s men have visited Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United before this game and would feel that they can get a point here.
