Premier League Week 13 Fixtures: EPL TV Schedule, Live Stream and Predictions
Focus shifts back to the Premier League after a week of European football, where Chelsea will look to create more daylight between them and their nearest rivals at the table's summit.
Four of the top six clash this weekend as Southampton play host to Manchester City and Newcastle make the trip to Upton Park. It's too early to label these fixtures "six-pointers," but certainly much rides on the outcome for all four sides.
Elsewhere, Manchester United will look to build on their win at Arsenal, while Liverpool go in desperate search of a win at home to Stoke having not tasted victory in any competition in more than a month.

Must-Watch Matchups
West Ham United vs. Newcastle United
In the ever-changing landscape of the English top flight, West Ham and Newcastle have taken up residence as two of the more surprising top-six contenders heading into the winter schedule.
Just one point separates the Hammers and Magpies as things stand, sixth and fifth in the standings respectively, the latter having won their last five league fixtures.
Sam Allardyce's side have endured a more disappointing run of late and are without a win in three, but defender James Collins told the club's official website of his anticipation for Saturday's fixture:
"There's still bitter disappointment about Everton. We didn't perform like we can do - there were a lot of injuries which we shouldn't use as an excuse but we weren't too happy with the way we performed.
We do think we could have got something out of the game though. I had a chance at 2-1 which maybe I should have stuck away but we're still full of confidence. We've been playing very well, especially at home, so we're all looking forward to it.
"
Newcastle's rise from potential relegation candidates to European hopefuls has been nothing short of magnificent, their first win of the campaign only coming six weeks ago.
Alan Pardew has chosen to reward his players for their noticeable improvement of late, with Craig Hope of the Daily Mail reporting on the squad's planned Christmas trip to Amsterdam:
West Ham have scored the majority of their goals away from Upton Park this season and are hoping to bounce back from a 0-0 disappointment against Aston Villa the last time they featured at home.
The Magpies, meanwhile, have lost only one of their away fixtures in the campaign thus far, and it's likely that we see a tense matchup play out.
Prediction: West Ham United 1-1 Newcastle United
Southampton vs. Manchester City
It's an inevitable by-product of Southampton's success this season that critics ask the question: "When will it all end?" The Saints have enjoyed a meteoric surge under Ronald Koeman, but Manchester City provide their first genuine threat in a long while.
The south-coast outfit have done brilliantly to stay within six points of Chelsea thus far. However, on the two occasions that Southampton have faced conventional "top-six" opponents this season, Liverpool and Tottenham, they have emerged pointless.
As Betway details, the two teams are identical in an attacking sense this term, although Fraser Forster's goal has been the more guarded of the two as defence has proven to be the telling difference:
One man hoping to alter that success on Sunday will be Sergio Aguero, and after a midweek hat-trick in the 3-2 win over Bayern Munich, the Argentinian will be flying.
The Daily Mail's Ian Ladyman quotes City's on-loan midfielder Frank Lampard heaping praise on Aguero following his midweek heroics:
"I’m not saying anything’s possible with Sergio, you have to work round him. It’s about the rest of the team. When you have people like that it makes things easier because he takes the majority of his chances. He took every one of his chances against Bayern.
World-class strikers do help you win games and win points and go through. But the rest of the team need to perform and we will get better from that.
"
Aguero may indeed find himself frustrated when coming up against a side that has conceded only six goals this season.
However, Manuel Pellegrini's men will know they cannot allow Chelsea to increase the gap at the top, so expect a true test of whether Southampton really belong among the big boys this weekend.
Prediction: Southampton 1-2 Manchester City
