Burnley vs Arsenal
- Venue: Turf Moor, Burnley
- Time: 17:30 SAST

Newcastle United vs Bournemouth
- Venue: St James’ Park, Newcastle upon Tyne
- Time: 17:00 SAST
- High-flying Newcastle, boasting a stingy defense and electric front line, are overwhelming favorites at home.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Spurs need to recapture their attacking flair and shore up their backline to avoid dropping crucial points at home.
Manchester City vs Chelsea
