Not a weekend goes by in The Premier League without a set of EPL Fixtures throwing out some unmissable matches. Gameweek 15 looks set to be December’s first Christmas Cracker, as the season approaches the half-way mark.

There’s some huge battles at the bottom coming up, whereas Spurs and Liverpool face tricky away days. Chelsea welcome Newcastle to Stamford Bridge, whereas an in-form Arsenal take on Manchester United in London

EPL Fixtures for 2 – 3 December

  • Saturday 2nd December:

Chelsea Vs Newcastle United

Our weekend kicks off with Chelsea hosting Newcastle in the 14:30 kick off. The Blues go into the game with boss Antonio Conte relegated to the stands. He was sent off during their midweek win over Swansea, after a feisty fracas on the touchline.

Brighton and Hove Albion Vs Liverpool

In the 17:00 kick offs, Liverpool will face a Brighton side that are proving tough to beat in recent weeks. The Seagulls are steadily picking up points in their debut Premier League campaign, and Liverpool will do well to leave the AMEX with three points. The visitors will hope Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mané reproduce the same scintillating form that saw the reds brush Stoke aside on Wednesday.

Everton Vs Huddersfield Town

Everton host Huddersfield Town at Goodison Park, in Sam Allardyce’s first game in charge at the Merseyside club. The Toffees are still purring from a 4-0 victory against West Ham on Wednesday. Wayne Rooney rolled back the years with a stunning hat-trick, and his form could finally kickstart the Blues’ season.

Leicester City Vs Burnley

Leicester City welcome Burnley to the King Power Stadium. Sean Dyche’s men have lost just three times all season – a monumental achievement for a club their size. Leicester also have reasons to be cheerful, as Claude Puel’s start to life at The Foxes has seen them climb away from the relegation zone.

Stoke City Vs Swansea City

It’s a battle of the out-of-formers in Staffordshire, as Stoke City entertain Swansea. Both managers (Mark Hughes and Paul Clement) will be under serious pressure if they lose, and a draw does neither side much good.

Watford Vs Tottenham Hotspur

This year’s surprise package Watford will host a shaky Tottenham Hotspur side who have won just one of their last five games. A Watford win will see the Hornets leapfrog Spurs in the table, and Mauricio Pochettino’s men have it all to do at Vicarage Road.

West Bromwich Albion Vs Crystal Palace

West Bromwich Albion take on Crystal Palace at The Hawthorns. In typical EPL managerial merry-go-round fashion, both Roy Hodgson and new Baggies boss Alan Pardew face their former clubs. WBA have just two wins all season, whereas Palace have been steadily chalking up points after a dreadful start to 2017/18.

Arsenal Vs Manchester United

The day’s 19:30 kick off is an absolute stormer. Arsenal host Manchester United at The Emirates, hoping to capitalise on a rich vein of form. The Gunners stuffed five past Huddersfield midweek, but United also found their shooting boots in a 4-2 win at Watford. A fine Jesse ‘Messi’ Lingard solo effort capped off the scoring.

  • Sunday December 3

AFC Bournemouth Vs Southampton

There’s a south-coast shake-up at 15:30, as Southampton travel to Bournemouth. The Saints were desperately unlucky not to pick up a point at Manchester City on Wednesday, and The Cherries are also looking to put a disappointing 2-1 defeat behind them.

Manchester City Vs West Ham United

The weekend’s EPL Fixtures draw to a close when Man City welcome West Ham United to the Etihad. Oh boy, is this David (Moyes) against Goliath. City have won a staggering 13 games out of 14 this year. Conversely, West Ham are in the bottom three, and Moyes has only won two of his last 26 Premier League games. Yikes.

What chance does each EPL team have of winning?
