English Premier League preview: what to watch this weekend

Tottenham travel to the London Stadium for the early kick off on Saturday looking to continue their fine away form. Dele Ali and Harry Kane have both been among the goals recently but go up against a defence that has kept three clean sheets in a row.

 

There are signs Slaven Bilic is starting to turn things around at West Ham and he will be hoping to see Javier Hernandez rediscover his scoring touch. The prolific Mexican striker is looking short of form but former Tottenham defender Gary Stevens, who is at the Dusit Thani Hua Hin Soccer Academy this weekend, will be hoping his old team can maintain their 100% record away from home in the EPL.

 

There are six games kicking off at 9pm with Chelsea facing a potentially tricky trip to Stoke City. The hosts have taken points of both Manchester United and Arsenal this season but are coming off back to back defeats and were fortunate to only concede two goals against Newcastle in their last EPL match.

 

The pick of the weekend’s games is at 11:30pm on Sunday with Liverpool travelling to Leicester City. Jurgen Klopp’s team have gone four games without a win and conceded ten goals during this period, two of them were scored by the visitors in a midweek Carabao Cup win.

 

Jamie Vardy has four goals already this season and will relish the chance to run at a Liverpool back line which looks extremely shaky.

Sadio Mane is still suspended but with a potential front three of Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah the hosts are capable of scoring goals, as well as prone to conceding.

 

Stevens will also be watching on Sunday when his old club Brighton play host to Newcastle in the only game of the day. Despite the rumors of unrest Rafael Benitez’ side have been the surprise package of the season so far and sit fourth but with one win in five games the hosts will be desperate to pick up points here.
