Premier League: Liverpool host Chelsea, Man City take on QPR, Arsenal at Swansea, Newcastle meet West Brom

Saturday Night Football will see Manchester City attempt to get their stuttering campaign back on track when they visit Queens Park Rangers while Super Sunday brings rejuvenated Newcastle United taking on West Bromwich Albion before Swansea City aim to add to Arsenal’s problems.

Liverpool and Chelsea meet at Anfield in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off prior to the 3pm games, including Manchester United hosting Crystal Palace, Aston Villa visiting West Ham United, high-flying Southampton meeting Leicester City and Burnley against Hull City.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also in action on Sunday after their European exploits as they face Stoke City and Sunderland, respectively.

Manchester City may have won the Manchester derby last weekend but that seems a distant memory following an ill-disciplined midweek defeat by CSKA Moscow which left their UEFA Champions League ambitions almost in tatters. Manager Manuel Pellegrini has admitted his squad are suffering from a crisis of confidence so the Chilean could be expected to be a little nervous before Saturday night’s trip to Queens Park Rangers, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 4.45pm. Harry Redknapp’s QPR remain in the relegation zone but have improved in recent weeks after beating Aston Villa and narrowly losing to Chelsea.

Earlier on Saturday, Chelsea will be in action themselves as the table-toppers return to Anfield for the first time since derailing Liverpool’s title challenge at the end of last season. Pressure is on Liverpool for the lunchtime kick-off after Brendan Rodgers rested many of his first-choice players for Tuesday’s defeat away to Real Madrid. Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea remain the only unbeaten team in the division so far this campaign, giving them a four-point lead, and so it is a big challenge for Liverpool.

Between those two games, Manchester United will play among the 3pm matches as a result of their absence from European competition. Still stinging from the Manchester derby, Louis van Gaal will expect his players to take three points from an inconsistent Crystal Palace, who are only managing to stay out of the relegation zone as a result of goal difference. Palace boss Neil Warnock is also a man under scrutiny having recently been fined for his criticism of referees while he was less than impressed with the officials in Monday’s loss to Sunderland.

Southampton continue to surpass expectations as a win at Hull City last weekend kept Ronald Koeman’s team in second place behind Chelsea. Koeman will expect that to still be the story on Saturday when a sinking Leicester City visit St Mary’s. Nigel Pearson’s Leicester had started the season in promising fashion but they have now failed to win since their epic 5-3 success against Manchester United at the end of September. That form has seen last season’s Championship winners drop into the bottom three alongside their fellow newly-promoted clubs, QPR and Burnley.

Rock-bottom Burnley will therefore be hoping for a change in fortune when they welcome Hull City to Turf Moor. Steve Bruce’s Hull have won only one game in nine in all competitions but a first victory of the league season will still be easier said than done for Sean Dyche’s goal-shy Burnley.

Aston Villa are another team who are struggling at the wrong end of the table and Paul Lambert’s free-falling side could find themselves in the releg
