Two teams with incoming managers clash at Goodison Park, Leicester and Manchester City try to make ground on Liverpool and there’s a London Derby for the ages at White Hart Lane 

While there are some interesting ties between teams battling to avoid the drop, much of the focus this weekend is on two sleeping giants who meet in the North, a battle for the right to challenge the throne in the North-West and a gigantic clash in the capital. It’s like Game of Thrones returned for Winter in the English Premier League.

Everton vs. Arsenal (Saturday 21st December, 12:30 pm GMT kick-off)

A fascinating clash between two teams about to kick off new regimes will unfold on Saturday lunchtime local time as Everton host Arsenal. While in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s, this would have likely been a top six clash, neither side look close to cracking that group of clubs (Liverpool, Leicester, both Manchester clubs and the two London teams who meet on Sunday).
