At 4:00 p.m., Liverpool will host Nottingham Forest. Liverpool is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Manchester City, which marked their fifth defeat in six matches. Forest, fresh off a 3-1 win against Leeds, hopes to capitalize on Liverpool’s struggles.

Sunday’s action begins at 3:00 p.m. with Leeds welcoming Aston Villa. Villa has regained form with five wins in their last six matches, including a recent 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth. Leeds, however, continues to grapple with inconsistency.
The weekend’s marquee match is the North London Derby at 5:30 p.m. Arsenal remains at the top of the table despite a recent 2-2 draw with Sunderland, ending their impressive winning streak. Tottenham, with only two wins in their last five matches, must deliver a disciplined performance to halt Arsenal’s momentum.
