Bournemouth v. Liverpool

Premier League leaders Liverpool will look to extend their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Bournemouth. Jurgen Klopp’s men are unbeaten in their last 32 Premier League matches, while Bournemouth have lost their last 4. Of note, Liverpool have won their last 4 meetings with Bournemouth by a combined score of 14-0.

Watford v. Crystal Palace

Watford are in danger of being cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier League table. The Hornets enter the weekend 7 points from safety, and have won just once in their last 19 league matches dating back to last season. Now they’ll face surprise-package Crystal Palace, who sit comfortably in 7th and are coming off back-to-back wins.

Manchester City v. Manchester United

One of the Premier League’s fiercest rivalries is renewed at the Etihad on Saturday, as Manchester City and Manchester United meet in the 179th Manchester Derby. City have won 3 of the past 4 meetings with their crosstown rivals, though United did win at the Etihad 2 seasons ago.

Brighton v. Wolves

Brighton are coming off an historic win on Thursday, beating Arsenal at the Emirates. They’ll now return home to face one of the in-form teams in the Premier League. Wolves haven’t lost a league game since September, and enter the weekend in 5th, just 6 points outside the top-4.

Monday afternoon’s London derby features two teams who are seriously struggling. Arsenal are winless in their last 9 matches in all competitions, which is their worst run since 1977. Meanwhile, West Ham have won just 1 of their last 9 Premier League games. Which club can turn their fortunes around at London Stadium?
