EPL Table Week 10: Clubs That Will Rise in the Standings After Matchday 10

The 10th week of the 2013 English Premier League season is upon us, and with it comes several salivating matchups. 

Two of the top three teams, Arsenal and Liverpool, will battle for supremacy on Saturday, while Tottenham (fourth place) vs. Everton (sixth place) highlights Sunday's action. 

With all 20 squads set to take the pitch this weekend, look for the following three to make major moves in the standings. 

Liverpool

The Reds get their first crack at Arsenal this season on Saturday, and I'm expecting Luis Suarez and Co. to earn the signature victory. 

Suarez was a menace on Saturday, scoring three goals in a 55-minute span against West Bromwich Albion. Suarez flexed his skills throughout, finding the net in the 12th, 17th and 55th minutes. With the outburst, the controversial striker now has six goals in just four EPL appearances this season. 

Suarez also got some help from the explosive Daniel Sturridge, who pushed his season goal tally to eight after putting Liverpool up 4-1 in the 77th minute. 

Against a less-than-steller Arsenal defense, look for Liverpool's high-scoring duo to dominate. 

Unfortunately for Liverpool, even if they win, they likely won't overtake sole possession of first place. Chelsea should earn three points against Newcastle United, and they currently have a better goal differential than the Reds. 

Tottenham

The Spurs have a great chance to jump into the top three of the table, particularly with Liverpool and Arsenal squaring off. 

Tottenham has a tough matchup against Everton, but with the way their defense has been playing, I'm expecting them to escape with their third consecutive win. 

Outside of Southampton, Tottenham has been the best defensive club in the league. They have allowed just five goals this season, and they've shut out their last two opponents. 

If they can suffocate Everton's offense, Tottenham should move ahead of either Liverpool or Arsenal.

Manchester United

Manchester United has been highly disappointing this season, but they are in a prime position to make up some ground this weekend. 

Although it was tougher than it should have been, United beat Stoke City 3-2 on Saturday. They have now won consecutive games, and I'm expecting them to ride their momentum to a victory over lowly Fulham. 

The Whites will have no answer for United's firepower, as Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez should be on point after notching late goals against Stoke. 

Look for United to cruise to a victory and move past Everton and tie Southampton (who I'm expecting to draw with Stoke) for fifth place in next week's table.
