Manchester United vs. Stoke City
United continued to struggle last weekend against Southampton in a 1-1 draw, and the Red Devils simply running out of time to get back in the hunt for defending their title.
They received some good fortune from the schedule in Week 9, with a home contest in Old Trafford against the tanking Stoke City.
Stoke have just eight points in eight games, while David Moyes' club is noticeably close to them at 11 points.
It's tough to put the finger on exactly what is causing problems for Manchester United, but they better figure it out soon.
If they're unable to get three points against a club like Stoke at home, it's a daunting sign for the rest of the season.
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal
The Gunners have been the story of the league this year, leading with 19 points after eight games. They never looked better than they did last weekend against Norwich, winning 4-1.
Arsenal should continue to roll into the weekend, coming off a hard-fought loss to Borussia Dortmund in midweek and heading to face Crystal Palace.
Palace have three points in eight games, and boast an awful minus-11 goal differential to Arsenal's plus-nine.
Unless Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and the revamped Arsenal offense suddenly stop clicking, the Gunners should easily take care of Crystal Palace and keep their backs pushed firmly on the wall of relegation.
Chelsea vs. Manchester City
Under a new era with Jose Mourinho, Chelsea got off to a sluggish start, but has won three straight lopsided affairs in all competitions.
That winning streak will be tested mightily over the weekend, as the Blues host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
Also going through a managerial transition, City has the highest goal differential at plus-11 but sit one point behind Chelsea at 16 points. Each club is a win and an Arsenal loss (unlikely as it may be) away from holding a share of the league lead.
This is undoubtedly the matchup of the weekend, and should be a telling factor as to who will be contending for the title down the stretch of the 2013-14 season.
