Liverpool vs Arsenal: the main event

Sunday's match at Anfield is the fixture every fan will be talking about. Liverpool go into the weekend in fourth place, five points off the pace at the top, and on a two-match winning streak, according to DAZN's Matchweek 9 guide published on October 27. A win over Arsenal would, in DAZN's words, "be a step in that direction" for a side trying to close the gap on the teams above them.

That is what makes this more than just a big name against a big name. Arsenal arrive at Anfield knowing that dropping points hands an advantage to their rivals, while Liverpool know that a home win keeps their own challenge alive. Anfield has a long history of deciding these races in late autumn, when the table starts to take its real shape. With 300 of the season's 380 matches still to play after this round, per Vavel's fixture guide, nothing is decided this weekend — but the direction of both clubs' seasons gets a lot clearer on Sunday evening.

Chelsea vs Manchester United opens the weekend

Saturday starts with one of English football's great rivalries. Chelsea host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the 12:30 p.m. UK kick-off (8:30 a.m. ET), the traditional curtain-raiser slot for the weekend's biggest early game.

Early kick-offs like this one set the tone for the whole round. A win puts the victor under no pressure for the rest of the weekend, while a defeat means spending two days watching rivals play with the chance to pull away. Both clubs have enormous travelling and television audiences in the United States and Europe, which is why this fixture leads the Saturday schedule rather than sitting among the 11:00 a.m. ET games.

The rest of Matchweek 9

Manchester City vs Brighton is the pick of Saturday's 11:00 a.m. ET games, with City at home at the Etihad Stadium. The same time slot also brings Bournemouth vs Leeds, Brentford vs Nottingham Forest, Coventry vs Sunderland and Hull vs Ipswich — five games kicking off together, which is when the live-scores page earns its keep.

Later on Saturday, Tottenham host Crystal Palace in a London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (1:30 p.m. ET), and Aston Villa welcome Fulham to Villa Park in the evening game (4:00 p.m. ET). The round closes on Monday night with Newcastle vs Everton at St James' Park (3:00 p.m. ET), a fixture that always carries extra edge given both clubs' histories at the top end of English football.
