Leeds United vs Arsenal (Saturday)

Elland Road sets the scene on Saturday as Arsenal make the trip north to face Leeds United, with the league leaders looking to arrest a rare dip in form on their travels.

Chelsea vs West Ham United (Saturday)

Suggested Bet: Chelsea to win

Value Bet: Chelsea to win and over 3.5 goals

Espanyol vs Alaves (Friday)

Alaves, meanwhile, arrive under pressure of their own, positioned 15th and hovering just a single point above the relegation places.
