ASTON VILLA VS ARSENAL: Villa are flying with four straight wins and will push Arsenal hard, but the league leaders will need resilience with defensive problems piling up.

BOURNEMOUTH VS CHELSEA: Chelsea must react after the Leeds defeat while Bournemouth, winless in five, desperately need stability.

MAN CITY VS SUNDERLAND: City chase a clean sheet after conceding four last time, but Sunderland’s deep block and recent form can frustrate.

SPURS VS BRENTFORD: Spurs cannot afford another slip after five winless games, but Brentford sense vulnerability in their low chance creation.

LEEDS UNITED VS LIVERPOOL: Leeds come in confident after beating Chelsea while Liverpool must show urgency or Elland Road could swallow them.

WOLVES VS MAN UNITED:  Wolves search for their first win while United look ready to climb and this could define both team trajectories.
