The Premier League returns this weekend and with no international break scheduled until March, things should start to heat up in the top flight in the coming months.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Aston Villa are all in action on Saturday, while the pick of the fixtures comes from the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City host Tottenham.
Leicester vs Chelsea (Saturday, 12.30pm)
Leicester have only won two of their 11 Premier League fixtures this season under Steve Cooper and they are without a win in four games in all competitions.
However, the Foxes have scored in 10 of their 11 league matches, while both teams have scored in eight of Chelsea's last 10 top-flight games and in each of the last six.
Bournemouth vs Brighton (Saturday, 3pm)
Bournemouth have already beaten Arsenal and Manchester City at home this season and they will hope to move to within one point of Brighton this weekend with another victory.
The Seagulls also recorded a narrow victory over the Citizens this month, and another entertaining game is expected on the south coast. However, Bournemouth may have the edge, having won their last three games at the Vitality Stadium.
Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest (Saturday, 3pm)
Fourth-placed Arsenal face fifth-placed Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium this weekend in what should be an entertaining affair.
The Gunners are unbeaten at home in all competitions and may stay that way, although Forest have every chance of finding the net, with Nuno Espirito Santo's men having scored in 10 of their 11 games so far.
Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace (Saturday, 3pm)
Unai Emery's Aston Villa will hope to return to winning ways after failing to win any of their last five games in all competitions, losing the last four.
Having home advantage will be important, with Villa only having lost one of their last 10 at Villa Park, but the Eagles will fancy their chances of scoring after netting four goals in their last two away matches.
Everton vs Brentford (Saturday, 3pm)
Brentford will hope to end their five-match losing streak away from home in the Premier League when they travel to Goodison Park to take on Everton.
The Bees have conceded 11 goals on the road under Thomas Frank, and Everton's Dwight McNeil will be looking to exploit the visitors' porous defence.
McNeil has six goal contributions in 10 appearances in the league and remains Everton's star man in the final third.
Fulham vs Wolves (Saturday, 3pm)
Both Fulham and Wolves will be full of confidence after enjoying three-match unbeaten runs in the Premier League in recent weeks.
An entertaining game is expected at Craven Cottage, with both teams scoring in eight of Fulham's last 10 league matches, while both sides have netted in nine of Wolves' 11 league encounters so far this season.
Manchester City vs Tottenham (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Reigning champions Manchester City will look to end their four-match losing streak against Tottenham this weekend.
Spurs beat City 2-1 in the Carabao Cup last month, but they are without starting centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven due to injury.
City have conceded 10 goals in their last four games in all competitions, so Ange Postecoglou's men should at least have some joy in front of goal.
