Chelsea vs. Manchester City

Both teams come into the contest on the back of excellent wins in their last Premier League outings, with Chelsea having thrashed Stoke City 4-0 and Pep Guardiola's side going one better against Palace.

ESPN FC's Liam Twomey hailed the Blues' form and Alvaro Morata after he grabbed a hat-trick against the Potters:

The Spaniard will look to cause City problems at the back on Saturday, though the Sky Blues boast even more firepower.

Guardiola's men have netted 22 times from their five matches thus far in September, and it's little surprise why, as Goal's Sam Lee noted:

What's more, they have shipped just one goal of their own in that time, though with Morata firing on all cylinders, Chelsea should be capable of putting their defence to the test.

The two sides will be evenly matched, and goals seem likely given the attacking talent that will be on display, so a score draw would hardly be surprising here.

Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace

United edged out Southampton 1-0 in their last match, and they have racked up 16 of a possible 18 points this year, like City.

Manager Jose Mourinho believes there is much more to come both from his side and their rivals, per ESPN UK:

Should it be honours even between Chelsea and City, another win for United would put them clear at the top of the table.

Against a Crystal Palace side that is yet to register a goal or a point this season, the Red Devils should be picking up three points again at Old Trafford.

As Match of the Day host Gary Lineker noted, the Eagles are yet to improve since Roy Hodgson replaced Frank de Boer as manager:

It will be another difficult test for Palace at the weekend, and it will be an improvement if they can avoid a humiliating defeat in the manner they received from City.
