West Ham can climb into the top half of the Premier League table with a win against Brighton as their Friday Night Football clash kicks off gameweek nine at London Stadium.

On Saturday, Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from two Premier League defeats when they host fourth-place Watford at Stamford Bridge, with the Hornets fresh from beating Arsenal last weekend.

Manchester United will be looking to keep pace with rivals Manchester City when they head to Huddersfield, while Pep Guardiola’s leaders host Sean Dyche’s Burnley, who have eight points from their four games against teams inside last season’s top seven.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace will be looking to follow up their heroics against the champions at Selhust Park last weekend when they travel to Newcastle - who are without a win in three - where a victory could lift them from the foot of the table.

The biggest game of the weekend comes at Wembley on Sunday when, having cast aside a number of hoodoos already this season, Mauricio Pochettino will be looking for his first win over Jurgen Klopp when his Tottenham side host Liverpool in the 4pm kick-off.

That match comes after under-pressure Everton host Arsenal in the lunchtime game.
