We’ve four more fixtures to fret over this evening as the domestic action gets back underway. Arsenal will be looking to heap further misery on Southampton at the Emirates, with Alexis Sanchez owners hoping he can return to form, having blanked in each of the last two after a move back to the flank.

The Saints defence are still licking their wounds after last weekend’s home hammering at the hands of City and an exodus will surely pick up pace if they fail to halt Sanchez, Danny Welbeck and co. tonight. Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic will surely be on their last chance for many, with a home clash against United up next, whilst Sadio Mane’s shift to the bench tonight will persuade his owners to part company.

League leaders Chelsea are without Diego Costa tonight due to suspension, though Eden Hazard, Oscar and Cesc Fabregas all carry strong form into the home encounter with Spurs. For the visitors, Christian Eriksen and Harry Kane will be looking to maintain their recent showings ahead of a kind run of fixtures which could bring them onto our radars.

Everton look strong favourites for a home clash with Hull. Leighton Baines, Kevin Mirallas and Romelu Lukaku look to carry the threat to the struggling Tigers, while Nikica Jelavic will be hoping to get one over his former club at Goodison.

Sunderland’s four-match unbeaten run faces a tough test as City roll up to the Stadium of Light. Gus Poyet’s side have conceded just twice in the last four and have just kept Chelsea at bay, though Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure will be confident of breaching the Black Cats’ backline as the champions’ title tilt steps up pace.
