The final day of matches in the Premier League before the clocks go back takes place on Saturday and it promises to be another important day of action in the division with the top six all in action across the seven fixtures.
As always we have three kick off times to enjoy with a huge match to get us going and plenty other good matches to keep the interest high throughout the day.
Early kick off
The action all begins with the match of the day when second placed Manchester United take on third placed Tottenham at Old Trafford. News broke on Friday that Harry Kane will be missing for Spurs which could give United the boost they need as they look to revive their title hopes after a couple of disappointing results.
3pm Matches
Arsenal are in action in the Saturday regular slot for once. They host Swansea at the Emirates Stadium while two sides who desperately need the win meet at Selhurst Park when Crystal Palace host West Ham. Two friends do battle at Anfield when Jurgen Klopp takes on David Wagner as Liverpool host Huddersfield. Watford could move into the top four if they beat Stoke City and results go their way elsewhere. The other match sees the leaders Man City heading to The Hawthorns to take on West Brom.
Late Game
The heavy day of action concludes at the Vitality Stadium where Bournemouth play host to the champions Chelsea with both sides needing to win for different reasons. Bournemouth begin the day in the bottom three while Chelsea have to go on a winning run if they are going to reel in Man City at the top of the table.

Betting
I’m going with two bets over the course of the day with the first one coming from Selhurst Park. A couple of weeks ago West Ham might have been getting Crystal Palace at the right time but I’m not so sure that is the case now.
Palace have beaten Chelsea and put up a spirited performance against Newcastle since then and look to be on the upgrade. West Ham will hope they are too after their midweek win over Tottenham and while their comeback was appealing we shouldn’t forget that for the second time in a row they were rancid in the first half of that game.
It will take more than 20 minutes in a game where Spurs weren’t that interested to convince me West Ham are rejuvenated. They still look a shambles defensively and the pace of Zaha and Townsend could run them ragged. I fancy Palace could pile up the problems on West Ham once again here.
The other bet I like is Huddersfield to stay within a couple of goals of Liverpool. Liverpool are terrible at the back and not even a change in personnel can do anything about that. They might be better in forward areas but there is no Sadio Mane or Philippe Coutinho in this match and that is a concern. Huddersfield are nothing special but they can defend and it wouldn’t be the biggest surprise in the world if they bagged a goal on the break. If they do they’ll have every chance of staying within two but their organisation can see them do so even if they don’t find the net.
