Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield this weekend sitting top Premier League table.
Manchester City's loss at Chelsea, coupled with the Reds' 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth, moved Liverpool top of the tree ahead of the weekend's final game.
City can retake the position as they kick off the weekend's action at home to Everton on Saturday lunchtime. In the 3pm games, Tottenham host Burnley and Crystal Palace welcome Leicester City to Selhurst Park. West Ham visit Fulham in the evening game.
Sunday's earlier games see Chelsea at Brighton and Arsenal at Southampton at 1.30pm.
