LEICESTER V MAN U
It’s a big game for…
Wayne Rooney: The striker was often bypassed once again as United failed to break down a resilient PSV Eindhoven at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. In his role as United’s captain, it is imperative that he galvanises his team as they take on a Leicester side that are currently flying high.
Weird stat…
1: Leicester had only mustered one goal in the eight Premier League fixtures between the two sides before the Foxes recorded a remarkable 5-3 victory last season.
Remember when…
David Beckham scored a sumptuous late free kick to salvage a point for United in a 2-2 draw against Leicester in 1998. Emile Heskey and Tony Cottee had put the Foxes in control, but United replied with goals from Teddy Sheringham and the former England captain.
Player to watch…
Jamie Vardy: Ten goals in ten consecutive games. Can he now complete the archetypal rags to riches tale, and break Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record against his former team?

Kick-off Time: 5.30pm
NORWICH V ARSENAL
It’s a big game for…
Alex Neil: The Norwich City boss will know how tough a test this will be, but he’ll be hoping to get a result as they are only three points clear of the relegation zone. He’ll be boosted by the fact Arsenal lost to West Brom last week, so will know his team are capable of getting a result.
Best stat…
2: Arsenal have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches against Norwich. Expect it to be another tough day for Alex Neil’s side when they meet on Sunday.
Remember when…
Jack Wilshere rounded off a superb passing movement with a calm finish at the Emirates back in 2013?
Player to watch…
Mesut Özil: The German playmaker has been impressive form, with seven
assists and two goals in his last eight games in all competitions.
Expect to see him add to that when a Norwich side in poor form head to
the capital.Past three meetings…

TOTTENHAM V CHELSEA
It’s a big game for…
Jose Mourinho: Every game at the moment is a big game for Mourinho. Chelsea have had a poor start to the season so far and they go into the game on the back of four defeats in six in the league. It’s probably not the best time to play against this in-form Tottenham side. They will take confidence from their last two results though, a 4-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv and 1-0 win albeit uninspiring against Norwich City.
Best stat…
12: Tottenham haven’t lost in the Premier League for 12 matches. An under pressure Jose Mourinho faces a tough challenge when they head to White Hart Lane.
Remember when…
Tottenham came out on top in an eight goal thriller at White Hart Lane last season?
Player to watch…
Harry Kane: The England forward has the best goals per game ratio
(0.86) in London derbies. Kane has 12 goals in 14 games in London and
will be looking to continue to improve that when they face Chelsea on
Sunday.
Past three meetings…
Capital One Cup final, March 2015 - Chelsea 2 (Terry, Walker OG) Tottenham Hotspur 0
Premier League, January 2015 - Tottenham Hotspur 5 (Kane 2, Rose, Townsend, Chadli) Chelsea 3 (Costa, Hazard, Terry)
