MADRID, Oct. 18 -- There is no doubt over the biggest game of the weekend in the Premier League as league leaders Liverpool take their 100 percent record to Old Trafford to attempt to pour more misery on Manchester United's worst ever start to a Premier League campaign, but there are other very relevant clashes in the coming days.
Sunday afternoon will take most of the headlines with Liverpool perhaps mindful of the fact that a rare conservative display at Old Trafford last season saw them held to a 0-0 draw, which eventually cost them the title as Manchester City beat them by a solitary point.
Manchester United are rumored to be planning big moves in the January transfer market to help resolve their situation, but with doubts also surrounding the future of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Norwegian knows a win would see rumors of Massimiliano Allegri being lined up as his replacement go quiet for a while.
Second place Manchester City have little room for maneuver as they visit Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.
Pep Guardiola's men kick off eight points behind Liverpool and anything other than a win would very much put the ball in Liverpool's court 24 hours later. The good news for Guardiola is that John Stones is available again after injury and Stones' return will allow Fernandinho to return to his most influential role in midfield.
Tottenham should expect all three points as they entertain rock-bottom and winless Watford, but the pressure is on Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino after his side shipped 10 goals in defeats to Bayern Munich and Brighton before the international break. The Spurs boss will hope the break has helped change the mood among his squad and that key players will come back in form after representing their countries.
