Premier League Saturday LIVE!

Premier League Saturday LIVE!

A fiery fixture kick us off for an exciting night of football as Manchester United face Liverpool for the first time since Luis Suarez returned from his ban.

Manchester United will be eyeing a win that will bring them top of the league, if only temporarily until Manchester City play Aston Villa on Sunday, but will have to get past a battling Liverpool who are targetting to leapfrog Newcastle into fifth place.

Suarez has served an eight-match ban after being found guilty of racially abusing United defender Patrice Evra earlier this season, and the two are likely to come up against each other again this weekend. 

Starting XIs


Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Dawson, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Parker, Modric, Bale, Saha, Adebayor.

Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Obertan, Guthrie, Perch, Gutierrez, Ba, Cisse.

Manchester United victory over Liverpool would send them to the top of the Premier League, at least until Manchester City, who start the weekend two points clear, head to Aston Villa on Sunday.

Chelsea, seven points adrift of Spurs after blowing a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with United last weekend, head to Everton while Arsenal, down in sixth and three points off the top four, are away to Martin O'Neill's resurgent Sunderland side.

Swansea against Norwich might have been expected to be a relegation battle, at least at the start of the season, but will instead be a match-up of two sides inside the top 10, with the Swans having been boosted by manager Brendan Rodgers signing a new contract this week.

At the bottom, relegation-threatened local rivals Bolton and Wigan go head to head at the Reebok. The two sides are separated within the bottom three by Blackburn, who host QPR.

Stoke will also go to Fulham in a bad run of form after slumping to three straight league defeats.
