The Premier League returns for Matchweek 10 this weekend, with Arsenal sitting top of the table on 24 points — three clear of Manchester City — and the final round of fixtures before the November international break.

The action starts tonight with Everton hosting Coventry City at the Hill Dickinson Stadium at 8pm UK time, and ends on Sunday with Manchester United hosting Aston Villa at Old Trafford, according to the Premier League fixture list and TNT Sports.

After Sunday, there is no Premier League football until November 21, so every club will be desperate to head into the break on a high.

Friday night kicks it off

Everton against Coventry opens the weekend under the lights, with the Toffees looking to build momentum at their new home. Coventry, newly promoted, have been competitive this season and will fancy their chances of an upset.

Saturday’s action starts with Leeds United against Tottenham at Elland Road in the lunchtime kick-off, before Arsenal host Hull City and Fulham welcome Newcastle at 3pm, and Nottingham Forest host Manchester City in the evening game at 5:30pm.

Arsenal look to extend their lead

Arsenal’s form has been the story of the season so far. The Gunners ended a 14-year wait for a win at Anfield last weekend, and they now sit three points clear at the top with a four-match winning run in the league.

Hull City visit the Emirates on Saturday as heavy underdogs, and anything other than a home win would be a major shock. But Arsenal know that the title race is a marathon, and dropped points against promoted sides are the ones that hurt most in May.

Manchester City, meanwhile, face a tricky trip to the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest — winless in five and in relegation trouble — will be fighting for their lives.

Sunday’s big games

Sunday features five games, including Crystal Palace against Liverpool at Selhurst Park, Sunderland against Chelsea at the Stadium of Light, and Manchester United against Aston Villa at Old Trafford in the late game.

United’s crisis has been one of the weekend’s talking points, with the club’s form under pressure and the international break offering either a reset or a reckoning. Villa, in good form, will arrive at Old Trafford believing they can take all three points.

Brighton against Brentford and Ipswich against Bournemouth complete Sunday’s slate. It promises to be a weekend full of goals, drama and talking points — before the league pauses for two weeks.
