Premier League football returns after the international break this weekend.
Arsenal took advantage of Liverpool’s struggles to climb to the top of the table after beating West Ham United 2-0 in their last outing.
The Reds’ form is a massive concern for manager Arne Slot, with the team having lost their previous three matches in all competitions.
But they are still only a point behind Arsenal and will look to bounce back against Manchester United.
Here are the three most exciting Premier League fixtures this weekend.
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
Ange Postecoglou is under enormous pressure at Nottingham Forest after failing to secure a win in his seven matches in charge.
He currently has the backing of owner Evangelos Marinakis, but his stance could change if results don’t improve soon.
Postecoglou must get a positive result in Saturday’s home fixture against Chelsea.
That will be easier said than done, with the Blues recording an excellent 2-1 victory against Liverpool before the international break.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa endured a difficult start to the Premier League season, registering just three points from their opening five games.
However, they have won their last four matches in all competitions and will be eager to keep rolling at Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs are unbeaten in their previous seven games in all competitions since the 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth in August.
The two sides are equally matched, and this should be an entertaining encounter.
Liverpool vs Manchester United
Manager Ruben Amorim relieved some pressure by guiding Manchester United to a 2-0 victory over Sunderland last time out.
The Portuguese boss now faces a massive test as he takes his team to face Liverpool at Anfield.
Arne Slot’s team are defensively vulnerable, and pacy forward Bryan Mbeumo could cause them plenty of problems.
Man United have lost just one of their last five meetings with Liverpool and could enhance that record on Sunday.
