A quick run through of games, nay team news, nay odds.
It kicks off with the lunchtime set-to at Wembley where Spurs, buoyed by the return of Son, host Newcastle, still drunk from that midweek victory over Man City. Spurs are actually just two points behind City going into this game and as City don't play until Sunday the Londoners may find themselves in second spot, if only temporarily.
Brighton will still be smarting after throwing away that two goal lead at Craven Cottage and they take on Watford whose four game unbeaten league run ended at Spurs on Wednesday.
Peter Crouch could figure for Burnley as the strugglers welcome fellow strugglers Southampton in the second of the 3pm kick offs.
Chelsea come off the back of that 4-0 drubbing at Bournemouth to come out of hiding to face a truly desperate Huddersfield who are a not unsurprising 1/66 for the drop.
Not sure when Wilf Zaha's ban kicks in, it could be for this game but either way there's sure to be a packed out Selhurst Park for the derby between Palace and Fulham. Both sides have potted in their last six league/cup outings so goals could be on the menu here.
Everton and Wolves are side by side in the table with the Midlands club two points to the good. Having netted seven in their last two outings, goals once again could be in the offing.
The early evening set-to is Cardiff against Bournemouth. Cardiff put up a reasonable display against Arsenal last time out while of course Bournemouth made second half mincemeat of Chelsea.
Man Utd earned a very late draw v Burney in midweek and they are now just two points off the top four. They visit Leicester in the first of Sunday's games and the Foxes will have got some encouragement from that draw at Anfield on Wednesday. Leicester haven't beaten Man U since 2014 with that remarkable 5-3 win.
The second Sunday game sees Man City face a possible toughie v Arsenal. Gladioli will be telling anyone who'll listen that there is no pressure but with Liverpool still on a 5 point lead and Spurs two points behind them, you can't tell me he's not feeling a degree of heat, brah.
Monday Night Football is provided courtesy of West Ham and Liverpool. West Ham are on a bad mini-run of two defeats as well as getting knocked out of the FA CUP by AFC Wimbledon. Liverpool won this tie 1-4 last season with Salah capturing a brace and indeed has scored in the last three meetings of these two.
