Saturday, November 2 – 12:30pm GMT – Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth
After getting lost at the start of the season, Manchester United have hit some form with two wins in a matter of days.
The Red Devils beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the second year running in a cup competition, edging them out 2-1 on Wednesday night to reach the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup. This comes after Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s side beat Norwich City 3-1 in the Premier League last weekend.
With two barren draws in their last two EPL matches and without a win in their last four League games, it’s quite unlikely that Bournemouth will stop United as they chase a fourth successive away win in all competitions.

Saturday, November 2 – 3pm GMT – Villa Park, Birmingham
League leaders Liverpool will look to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League when they make the trip to Birmingham this weekend.
The Reds booked their place in the last eight of the EFL Cup after edging Arsenal on penalties in a 10-goal thriller, while the Villains beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 to set up a meeting with the Merseyside giants in the quarters.
Having sustained a defeat to Manchester City in the league last weekend, the 15th-placed Villains look set to suffer a similar fate against Jurgen Klopp’s sky-high Reds.

Chelsea will look to get back to winning ways when they face Watford on Saturday afternoon.
Although the Blues have won four consecutive games in the league, Man United booted them out of the EFL Cup with a 2-1 result at Stamford Bridge in midweek.
Given Watford are without a win in their first 10 games in the EPL, Chelsea fans will expect an immediate return to the winners’ circle.

Crystal Palace will play host to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon in a match that could very well alter the shape of the top four.
Following their 9-0 drubbing of Southampton, the Foxes beat Burton Albion 3-1 in midweek to advance to the last eight of the EFL Cup.
Arguably the most awaited match of the weekend, the bout between Palace and Leicester could very well serve up goals aplenty.
