Augsburg till the next break

Arminia (H) Mainz (A) Stuttgart (H) Wolfsburg (A)

A relegation six-pointer at home against Arminia must yield three points for Markus Wienzierl’s men to keep their head above water and enable a bit of margin against three difficult opponents following.

Wolves till the next break

Villa (A) Leeds (A) Everton (H) Palace (A)

No easy games here, but signs of a blossoming partnership between Hwang and Jimenez suggest Wolves might get the wins in this run that their general level of play has deserved.

West Ham till the next break

Everton (A) Spurs (H) Villa (A) Liverpool (H)

A very tough set of fixtures but the Hammers have looked good throughout the campaign and whichever way the results go, it's bound to be marginal.

Watford till the next break

Liverpool (H) Everton (A) Southampton (H) Arsenal (A)

Not an easy start for Claudio Ranieri by any stretch, but a combination of the new manager bounce and pace on the break could see the Hornets causing an upset or two.

Spurs till the next break

Newcastle (A) West Ham (A) United (H) Everton (A)

A terrible run of games that may quickly decide the extent of Spurs ambitions for the remainder of the season.

Southampton till the next break

Leeds (H) Burnley (H) Watford (A) Villa (H)

Three winnable home games that should tell us if Saints are going to pull clear or actually be involved in a long relegation battle this season.

Norwich till the next break

Brighton (H) Chelsea (A) Leeds (H) Brentford (A)

Can’t help but feel the Canaries are already doomed, but I think they are going to get their first win in either one of the two home games.

Newcastle till the next break

Spurs (H) Palace (A) Chelsea (H) Brighton (A)

The euphoria is understandable but money can’t be spent till January which means Newcastle absolutely have to get their first win of the campaign amongst these four difficult games.

United till the next break

Leicester (A) Liverpool (H) Spurs (A) City (H)

Recent evidence would suggest this is a nightmare run for the Red Devils as they struggle to establish a tactical identity, but it also wouldn’t surprise if United play up to the big teams as they often have done during Ole’s reign in the dugout.

City till the next break

Burnley (H) Brighton (A) Palace (H) United (A)

After two of the finest away performances at Stamford Bridge and Anfield, one would have to back Pep’s men to take nine points in their next three games before another away test at Old Trafford.

Liverpool till the next break

Watford (A) United (A) Brighton (H) West Ham (A)

A schedule that will certainly test the Reds' unbeaten start to the campaign, but Klopp is yet to lose to Ole or Moyes in the league leading me to believe Liverpool will still be in touch at the top after these games.

Leicester till the next break

United (H) Brentford (A) Arsenal (H) Leeds (A)

If they feel sorry for themselves in the midst of another injury crisis they could lose all four games, but surely it’s time for the Foxes to buckle up use the visits of United and Arsenal to remind them that they are a squad worthy of the European places.

Leeds till the next break

Southampton (A) Wolves (H) Norwich (A) Leicester (H)

The unpredictable side that they are, it wouldn’t surprise me if Leeds lose to Norwich, but still manage to get two wins from this run.

Everton till the next break

West Ham (H) Watford (H) Wolves (A) Spurs (H)

Much will depend on the return from injury of some key players against some difficult opposition, but with three games at a Goodison Park that increasingly believes in Benitez, Everton may just stay in the European places for a while.

Palace till the next break

Arsenal (A) Newcastle (H) City (A) Wolves (H)

Hard to see Vieira’s men get anything in North London or Manchester, but even one home win should keep them in lower middle table and maintain steady progress as the Eagles continue to evolve.

Chelsea till the next break

Brentford (A) Norwich (H) Newcastle (A) Burnley (H)

The first game makes for a tricky visit, but considering some of their title rivals are up against each other this run of fixtures is the perfect opportunity for the Blues to possibly pull clear at the top.

Burnley till the next break

City (A) Southampton (A) Brentford (H) Chelsea (A)

A really difficult run coming up and if Sean Dyche doesn’t want his team to be cut adrift, the Clarets have to do their best to get four points from the middle two fixtures.

Brighton till the next break

Norwich (A) City (H) Liverpool (A) Newcastle (H)

While I think Graham Potter’s men are more than capable of holding their own against big teams, this still represents a difficult stretch for the Seagulls and I would be surprised if they were still in top eight at the November international break.

Brentford till the next break

Chelsea (H) Leicester (H) Burnley (A) Norwich (H)

A run of fixtures that should maintain the Bees’ phenomenal start to life in the Premier League and if recent home games against the big guns are anything to go by, they will give Chelsea more than a decent fight.

Villa till the next break

Wolves (H) Arsenal (A) West Ham (H) Southampton (A)

Not a single straightforward game for the Villains, but I’d expect them to win at least one of these fixtures, if not two.

Arsenal till the next break

Palace (H) Villa (H) Leicester (A) Watford (H)

None of these games seem straightforward given Arsenal’s current standing, but to even aspire to something better, surely Arteta’s men have to aim for nine points from the three home games.
