Bournemouth vs Chelsea

This game will be about Gonzalo Higuain. While the Argentine made his Chelsea debut in their recent FA Cup win, Blues fans will be eager to see how he fares in the Premier League. Sarri will need his new signing and the entire team at their best, given that they are now level on points with Arsenal.

Chelsea takes on Bournemouth later today 

As for Bournemouth, they will be keen on recording a home win over Hazard and Co. Wilson, who has regained his goalscoring form, will be the Cherries biggest threat as they look to send Chelsea back home empty-handed.

Will Wilson punish the Blues? 

Liverpool vs Leicester

Kick-off is at 15:00 ET/20:00 GMT and it will be aired on SiriusXM FC and NBC Sports Gold in the USA; BT Sport and BBC Radio in the UK; Sportsnet in Canada; Optus Sport in Australia.

This game will be crucial for Liverpool for one important reason: after Man City's loss at Newcastle, the Reds can now move seven points clear at the top. Although there is a lot left to play for, that would be a comfortable, confidence-building lead for Klopp's men.

Unfortunately for the league leader, Virgil Van Dijk is a doubt for this tricky test. This could prove costly, given that Lovren, Gomez, and Alexander-Arnold are already injured.

Tottenham vs Watford

Tottenham will hope to return to winning ways in this clash after suffering back-to-back defeats in the Carabao Cup semi-finals and FA Cup fourth-round, crashing out of both tournaments as a result.

Fortunately, they have Heung-Min Son back for selection after South Korea's quarter-final elimination from the AFC Asian Cup. It remains to be seen whether he will start or will be benched. Tune in to find out.
