A top-of-the-table clash between Manchester United and surprise leaders Leicester headlines this weekend’s Premier League action, with Tottenham set to host Chelsea as the first of a bumper day featuring four matches.

With no early game on Saturday, the action begins at 3pm with five matches including Manchester City, who will hope to get back to winning ways against Southampton after being routed 4-1 by Liverpool last weekend.

Watford travel to Aston Villa, the club where Hornets captain Troy Deeney came through youth football before leaving, while Bournemouth will hope to stop an Everton side on a high after last weekend’s 4-0 win over Villa.

Sunderland will look to build on the 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace last Monday when they take on Stoke, who themselves picked up an impressive win over Southampton.

Saturday’s evening kick-off sees United and Leicester battle it out for the right to top the table heading into December, with the Foxes currently leading their opponents by a single point.

With Spurs and Chelsea kicking things off on Sunday at the earlier time of midday, all eyes will be on Harry Kane to see if he can keep up his run of form in front of the club rumoured to be interested in him.

West Ham host West Bromwich at 2.05pm, before Liverpool take on Swansea and Norwich meet Arsenal – both games kicking off at 4.15pm.
