Yahoo News EPL Table: 2017-18 Premier League standings for gameweek 9
West Ham could find themselves in the Premier League bottom three by the end of gameweek nine after their 3-0 home loss to Brighton.
Two goals from Glenn Murray and a stunning strike by Jose Izquierdo secured Brighton their third win of the season, meaning the Hammers will fall into the bottom three if Leicester win this weekend.
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.
