After another exciting midweek of European action, the Premier League returns on Saturday with five fixtures. 

Arsenal and Liverpool are among the teams featuring in the four games kicking off at 3pm, before a Midlands derby between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa rounds things off at 5.30pm.

Arsenal vs Everton (Saturday, 3pm)

Arsenal have kept four clean sheets in their last five games and can hold firm against visitors Everton.

The Gunners drew 1-1 at Fulham last Sunday before beating Monaco 3-0 in the week and have an excellent chance of maintaining their excellent defensive record, having kept four clean sheets in their last five games at home.

Everton beat relegation rivals Wolves 4-0 in their last match but the postponement of the Merseyside derby means they have not played since December 4.

Goals have been in short supply for Sean Dyche's men, failing to net in four games prior to their win over Wolves and their recent run may lead to a tight clash.

Liverpool vs Fulham (Saturday, 3pm)

Arne Slot's Liverpool are tipped to record another victory against Fulham

Liverpool sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League table and that derby postponement means they also have a game in hand on their rivals.

Publicidad

Tuesday's 1-0 win over Girona means the Reds are also the only team to have triumphed in all six of their Champions League fixtures but will need to be wary of an improving Fulham side.

The Cottagers held Arsenal last weekend and will have no qualms about going toe-to-toe with Arne Slot's leaders.

They are unlikely to be overawed by their task but Liverpool are flying and can record another decent victory.

Newcastle vs Leicester (Saturday, 3pm)

Newcastle have failed to win any of their last four games but have shown flashes of excellence, including drawing 3-3 at home with league leaders Liverpool.

They next face Leicester who have made a positive start under new coach Ruud van Nistelrooy but have won on only one of their seven away trips this season.

The Foxes have netted five goals in their two games with Van Nistelrooy in charge, while Newcastle have conceded in five of their seven St James' Park outings.

An open game looks likely but Eddie Howe's side should have too much.

Wolves vs Ipswich (Saturday, 3pm)

Kieran McKenna takes his Ipswich team to fellow strugglers Wolves

Wolves have won only three of their last 25 league games, most recently going down 2-1 at West Ham on Monday.

Publicidad

They will see this game against Ipswich as a chance to boost their survival hopes, with the Tractor Boys having won only one of their 15 fixtures back in the top flight.

The duo's defensive woes mean this could be an open and exciting encounter at Molineux, especially as five of the home team's seven matches in all competitions have featured over 3.5 goals.

Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa have both made strong starts to the season and could cancel each other out at the City Ground.

Forest won their last game 3-2 at Manchester United, while Villa return to domestic action after beating RB Leipzig by the same scoreline in the Champions League.

Tied on 25 points after 15 games, these two look tough to split.
