This weekend's Premier League fixtures are packed with drama, from relegation battles to European qualification pushes. Here are 10 key things to watch.
Leeds vs Burnley: A Test Without Parker
Leeds United face a Burnley side now without manager Scott Parker, who left Turf Moor this week. A win for Daniel Farke's team would take them to 43 points, making relegation highly unlikely. Despite Burnley's lowly position, Farke expects a tough contest, noting that Burnley have been competitive in most games this season. Caretaker boss Mike Jackson will aim to frustrate Leeds.
Bowen Primed to Trouble Brentford
Jarrod Bowen was instrumental in West Ham's win over Everton, providing two assists. Brentford's wide defenders Michael Kayode and Keane Lewis-Potter face a tough task containing Bowen and Crysencio Summerville. West Ham's threat from set pieces and open play gives Brentford much to consider.
Howe's Striker Conundrum at Newcastle
Eddie Howe is under pressure after four straight league defeats. With Brighton visiting, Howe must decide whether to start Will Osula, Nick Woltemade, or Yoane Wissa up front. A win is crucial to impress the Saudi ownership group.
Sunderland Players Under Scrutiny
Sunderland's heavy defeat to Nottingham Forest was a missed opportunity. Now 12th, they must beat Wolves to keep European hopes alive. Players may fear for their futures if the slump continues.
Jesus' Pedigree Could Boost Arsenal
Gabriel Jesus has seen limited minutes since returning from injury but his experience with a Premier League winner's medal could be vital against Fulham. With Kai Havertz doubtful, Jesus may start.
Rayan Rising but Needs Protection
Bournemouth's teenage Brazilian Rayan has impressed with three goals and two assists in 11 appearances. Manager Andoni Iraola must manage his minutes carefully to avoid burnout.
Points First, Pride Later for United and Liverpool
Both Manchester United and Liverpool are close to securing Champions League football. A defeat may not be disastrous if the ultimate goal is achieved. United need two points from four games, Liverpool five from four.
Spurs to Know Gap to West Ham
Tottenham will know the result of West Ham's match before they face Aston Villa. Roberto De Zerbi's side showed fight against Wolves and need to build momentum.
McFarlane Faces Expectation at Chelsea
Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane faces his first match where his team are expected to win. After a mixed record, he must lift a mutinous fanbase against Nottingham Forest.
Should Everton Re-sign Stones?
John Stones is set to leave Manchester City on a free transfer at 31. Everton are well-stocked in defence but his experience could be valuable. First, he aims to add a domestic treble to his City legacy.
