Premier League Week 13 Fixtures: EPL TV Schedule, Live Stream and Picks

James DudkoNov 24, 2016

The Premier League's top four all face winnable fixtures in the season's 13th week, but leaders Chelsea have the toughest assignment. They'll be taking on Tottenham Hotspur, the league's only unbeaten team, at Stamford Bridge.

Fellow title contenders Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal will all be hoping for a slip-up from Chelsea. City and Liverpool can apply the pressure by winning before the Blues even kick-off against Spurs.

Here are this week's fixtures, along with schedule information and picks:

Burnley vs. Manchester City

Burnley are becoming specialists at making life difficult for the big boys at Turf Moor. They beat Liverpool on home soil in the season's second week and were unlucky to lose to Arsenal in October. The Gunners only escaped Lancashire with all three points thanks to a controversial, stoppage-time goal.

So City shouldn't be under any illusions about the challenge in front of them. Manager Pep Guardiola needs to see his free-flowing team adapt its game the way his players did during the recent 2-1 win away to Crystal Palace.

The Citizens were more direct at Selhurst Park and moved the ball quicker. It helped to have Ivory Coast powerhouse Yaya Toure as an obvious focal point at the tip of a diamond in midfield.

Toure became a consistent outlet thanks to his ability to play with his back to goal and hold the ball up. City were also able to exploit their pace on the flanks with longer passes toward Raheem Sterling.

Former Liverpool man Sterling and Spaniard Jesus Navas could be key figures in helping break down the Clarets.

Burnley rely on plenty of industry in midfield, with players such as Steven Defour and Jeff Hendrick. Manager Sean Dyche is likely to pack the middle to deny City easy passes between the lines.

Dyche is bullish about his team's chances against one of the most talented squads in England's top flight, per Sky Sports"It's not a free hit because we want to take on every game and get points on the table. There's a huge gulf between us and Manchester City on and off the pitch, but it is the marvel of football."

Confidence is one thing, but City just have too much quality in attack for a Burnley side thrashed 4-0 by West Bromwich Albion, hardly the division's most prolific team, on Monday night.

Liverpool vs. Sunderland

No team in the league has been as dynamic going forward as Liverpool. The Reds' fluidity and cutting edge in attack spell trouble for Sunderland boss David Moyes.

He's no stranger to tough days at Anfield, having experienced his share as a former manager of Liverpool's Merseyside rivals, Everton. Now Moyes is trying to help the Black Cats avoid their annual relegation scrap.

The Scot has helped engineer two wins in a row to get Sunderland's season going, and strikers Jermain Defoe and Victor Anichebe have been giving defenders more than a few headaches.

However, the real pain could be reserved for the Sunderland back four. Few teams have been able to keep up with Liverpool's swift rotations and intelligent combinations in the final third.

Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino, winger Sadio Mane and playmaker Philippe Coutinho are the lethal front three manager Jurgen Klopp relies on. Yet one of the unsung heroes of Liverpool's strong start to the season has been all-purpose midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Netherlands international has been terrific covering the defence, while also supplementing the attack with late runs to link with the men up front. Wijnaldum's vision, reading of the game and passing quality are invaluable in the high-energy, pressing style Klopp preaches.

Expect Liverpool to have enough ingenuity going forward to eventually wear down a Sunderland side sure to be well-organised at Anfield.

City and Liverpool winning will put the pressure on Chelsea, but Arsenal will be waiting on Sunday to take advantage of any dropped points among the top three.

The Gunners will need star attractions such as Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil on song at the Emirates Stadium to overwhelm a Bournemouth side punching above its weight on manager Eddie Howe's watch.

The top four should all win this week and keep the drama in the title race alive and intense headed into December.
