4 key Premier League clashes this weekend

Finally, the Premier League returns to our screens after an absolutely boring international break.

Swansea City’s new American coach, Bob Bradley, will be taking charge for the first time while the likes of Antonio Conte, David Moyes and Slaven Bilic will be hoping to reduce the pressure on them.

This weekend will see champions from the last two seasons clash with two other heavyweights meeting at Anfield.

Here are four Matchday 8 games you shouldn’t miss.

Chelsea vs. Leicester City

Venue: Stamford Bridge

Kick-off: Saturday, 12:30pm

Head-to-head: Chelsea 11, Draw 5, Leicester 4

Match facts: Chelsea are without a win in their last two Premier League meetings with Leicester (W0 D1 L1), after winning the six before that.

Leicester have registered only one win in their 10 Premier League visits to Stamford Bridge (D3 L6) – that win coming in September 2000 via a 2-0 scoreline.

However, the Foxes have lost only one of their last five top-flight trips to London (W3 D1 L1), this after losing 17 and drawing three of their previous 20.

Arsenal vs. Swansea

Venue: Emirates Stadium

Kick-off: Saturday, 3pm

Head-to-head: Arsenal 4, Draw 1, Swansea 5

Match facts: Arsenal have enjoyed only one win in their last five Premier League meetings with Swansea, losing three and drawing one.

Indeed, at Emirates Stadium, Swansea are unbeaten in their last four visits in the Premier League (W3 D1).

Swansea’s new manager, Bob Bradley, will be the first American manager to oversee a Premier League match.

Manchester City vs. Bournemouth

Venue: Etihad Stadium

Kick-off: Saturday, 3pm

Head-to-head: Man City 14, Draw 7, Everton 17

Match facts: Man City are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Everton (W4 D2), conceding only four goals in that period.

Everton have scored only one goal in their last four top-flight matches with the Citizens, courtesy of a Steven Naismith effort in a 1-1 draw in January 2015.

The Toffees have picked up six points from losing positions in the PL this season, a joint league-high along with Liverpool.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United

Venue: Anfield

Kick-off: Monday, 8pm

Head-to-head: Liverpool 13, Draw 18, United 27

Match facts: Liverpool have lost more Premier League matches (27) against Manchester United than versus any other opponent.

Indeed, Liverpool have lost each of their last four PL meetings with Man Utd, their worst league losing streak against the Red Devils since March 2008 (five defeats).

Only Steven Gerrard (8) has scored more goals in this Premier League fixture than Wayne Rooney (6, level with Robbie Fowler).
