Manchester City vs. Tottenham
Spurs return to the Etihad on Saturday for their first Premier League encounter since they were thrashed 6-0 by City in November of last year.
The north London outfit have a good away record so far this season—they are yet to lose on the road—but will need to up their game to face off against David Silva et al.
With three wins, two draws and two losses, Tottenham have had a middling start to the season, but a win over City would no doubt prove a galvanising victory for the rest of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino's men may well be facing a home side without the talismanic Yaya Toure as Manuel Pellegrini prepares for CSKA Moscow in the Champions League next week, per The Telegraph's Mark Ogden:
However, second-placed City still go into this match as favourites considering home advantage and a recent run of good results including decent away victories over Aston Villa and Hull.
Everton vs. Aston Villa
Surprisingly for many, Roberto Martinez's Everton side have had a shocking start to the season and currently sit on just six points, one place above the relegation zone.
They were unfortunate not to get anything last time out when they visited Old Trafford, David de Gea's heroics denying them late on, per Squawka Football:
While the Toffees will no doubt turn their form around eventually, they need to put together a run of wins to avoid the ignominy of falling into the drop zone.
They can begin with victory on Saturday as they host a Villa side who started the season well but have been on the wrong end of defeats to City and Chelsea in their last two outings. Martinez's side should have enough to pick up three points and get their season going properly.
West Brom vs. Manchester United
While West Brom lost narrowly to Liverpool in their last outing, a 4-0 thrashing of Burnley and win over Spurs have proven that the Baggies will not be the pushovers many expected them to be this season.
Things have been looking up for Alan Irvine of late, and Saido Berahino's five Premier League goals is a mighty impressive haul so early in the season; he stands alone amongst the division's Englishmen, again per Squawka:
The 21-year-old will likely be eager to go up against United's poor defence—they have conceded 10 goals already this season—although Louis van Gaal will be happy to see the likes of Michael Carrick and Phil Jones potentially making their returns from injury, per Simon Jones of the Daily Mail.
If the Red Devils defence can hold firm, they should be able to claim a win against West Brom, especially considering the quality they have in attack—minus the suspended Wayne Rooney—which includes the in-form Angel Di Maria, per Bleacher Report UK's Ryan Bailey:
Having crept into the top four after the Everton win, a victory on Monday could well see United move into third place, a more familiar area of the table than they have been used to of late.
