Leicester City vs Manchester City - 7:30am ET/4:30am PT
After managing just one victory in their first 10 Premier League games this season, Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City have now won their last two - including a 4-0 thumping of Wolves on Sunday - to move out of the relegation zone. They host a Manchester City side who closed the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points last weekend, but are on an iffy run of away form. Pep Guardiola’s men have won two out of five on the road in the league, losing to Liverpool the last time they left the Etihad.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur - 10am ET/7am PT
Bournemouth embarked on a six-game unbeaten streak after Gary O’Neil took temporary charge at the end of August, but the Cherries have since lost their last two matches in the Premier League, most recently to West Ham on Monday. They sit 14th. Third-placed Tottenham, who were a VAR offside call away from qualifying for the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday, are also on a run of back-to-back Premier League losses, having followed up a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United by going down 2-1 at home to Newcastle last weekend.

Brentford vs Wolves - 10am ET/7am PT
Brentford started the Premier League season with one defeat in six, but are now on a sequence of one win in six. Thomas Frank’s side, who head into matchday 14 in 11th, face a Wolves team who are only above bottom club Nottingham Forest on goal difference. The Midlanders sacked Bruno Lage as head coach after defeat to West Ham at the start of October, but under caretaker boss Steve Davis have lost three out of four, their sole win coming against Forest.

Brighton vs Chelsea - 10am ET/7am PT
Chelsea boss Potter takes his side to Brighton seven weeks after leaving the Amex Stadium for West London. Under the 47-year-old, the fifth-placed Blues are unbeaten in nine games in all competitions, and qualified for the Champions League knockout stages as group winners on Tuesday. Brighton, meanwhile, haven’t won since Roberto de Zerbi replaced Potter as boss. The men from the south coast go into the weekend’s Premier League games in ninth.

Crystal Palace vs Southampton - 10am ET/7am PT
16th-placed Southampton have won one in their last seven in the Premier League, but Ralf Hassenhüttl’s side head to Selhurst Park having last weekend become only the second team this season to avoid top-flight defeat to Arsenal. Hosts Crystal Palace, who sit 13th, lost 3-0 at Everton last time out in the Premier League, but have won their last two home games in the division.

Newcastle United vs Aston Villa - 10am ET/7am PT
Newcastle United have now won four of their last five Premier League, the Magpies’ 2-1 victory at Tottenham on Sunday lifting them into the Champions League places. Unbeaten at home this term, Newcastle welcome a struggling Aston Villa to St James’ Park. After sacking Steven Gerrard as head coach a week ago, the Villains have appointed former Arsenal boss Unai Emery as his replacement, but the Spaniard won’t take charge until 1 November. Interim head coach Aaron Danks will be in the away dugout on Tyneside.

Fulham vs Everton - 12:30pm ET/9:30am PT
Under Marco Silva, Fulham have made an impressive start to life back in the Premier League, and lie seventh going into matchday 14. The Cottagers, who have lost just once at home so far, host Everton on the back of successive league victories over Villa and Leeds United. The Toffees, who are 12th, have one of the division’s meanest defences - they’ve conceded only 12 times - but at the other end have managed less than a goal a game. That said, they hit three against Palace last weekend to end a three-match losing streak.

Liverpool vs Leeds United - 2:45pm ET/11:45am PT
Liverpool booked their spot in the Champions League last 16 with a comprehensive win over Ajax in midweek. However, they are now tasked with getting their Premier League campaign back on track after last Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at lowly Forest, which left them down in eighth. Meanwhile, Leeds go to Anfield in the relegation places and on a run of four league losses on the trot. Their head coach, Jesse Marsch, is under growing pressure.
