Leg 1 – Chelsea vs Newcastle United

Saturday, October 19 – 3pm BST – Stamford Bridge, London

Frank Lampard will be hoping for a fifth straight win as Chelsea manager when the Blues welcome Newcastle United to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

Chelsea have overcome their initial slow start to claw their way within touching distance of the top four, only separated by fourth-placed Leicester City on goal difference.

Sitting 16th on eight points, Newcastle will have an extra spring in their step ahead of their trip to London following their 1-0 win over Manchester United before the international break.

The Magpies may have caused their fair share of upsets against Spurs and United this season, but the Blues should be able to come out on top.

Leg 2 – Tottenham Hotspur vs Watford

Saturday, October 19 – 3pm BST – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

Mauricio Pochettino has endured one of the most terrible starts in the Premier League since taking over the reins of power at the North London club.

Spurs have been beaten thrice in their first eight games of the campaign, with their final outing before the international break unequivocally being the worst as they suffered a resounding 3-0 obliteration at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.

However, Spurs surely wouldn’t make a bottle job out of their encounter with bottom-placed Watford — the only team still chasing for their first league win of the season.

Leg 3 – Crystal Palace vs Manchester City

Saturday, October 19 – 5:30pm BST – Selhurst Park, London

With Man City copping two defeats in their first eight Premier League games of the season – the same number of losses registered during the entire course of their title winning campaign last season – Pep Guardiola will be demanding nothing but the absolute best when he and his charges make the trip to Selhurst Park this Saturday.

The champions are already a staggering eight points adrift of league leaders Liverpool – an underachievement by all accounts, and one that thoroughly jeopardises their hopes of clinching a third successive Premier League title for the first time in their history.

Crystal Palace, on an impressive 14 points, have outdone themselves to climb all the way to sixth, but the Citizens look poised to make amends for their last outing in typical Manchester City fashion.

Leg 4 – Manchester United vs Liverpool

Sunday, October 20 – 4:30pm BST – Old Trafford, Manchester

Manchester United will welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford in what is without question the most anticipated game of the weekend.

A match pitting two of the most accomplished sides in English football should be one of pomp and fanfare from both sides, but there is an obvious imbalance between the two clubs on this occasion.

While runaway leaders Liverpool have won all eight of their Premier League bouts this season, United have amassed a paltry two wins from a possible eight.

Given the further burden that injuries have placed on Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s side, one wouldn’t expect any outcome other than an assertive win by the European champions.

Leg 5 – Sheffield United vs Arsenal

Monday, October 21 – 8pm BST – Bramall Lane, Sheffield

Third-placed Arsenal will be on the road on Monday night against Sheffield United for the last bit of action in EPL Matchweek 9.

The Gunners, who are a point behind Man City and nine points behind leaders Liverpool, will be hoping for a win on a ground where Chelsea, Everton and even the Reds have all laboured to get a result.

The Blades are 13th in the standings with nine points and should be able to trouble the visitors, although one would still fancy Unai Emery’s men to collect maximum points.
