Following on from Bournemouth’s goalless draw with Spurs, there are six 3pm kick-offs to keep our Saturday afternoons ticking over.

Top two in this week’s Captain Poll, Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott are both named in the Arsenal starting line-up as the Gunners look for a seventh straight Premier League victory.

Clean sheet returns also look likely for Arsene Wenger’s side, who have kept out their opponents in five of the last six in all competitons.

Having netted four times in his last three away appearances, Romelu Lukaku gets his chance to go up against Burnley’s backline at Turf Moor.

Sean Dyche’s side may be porous on the road, yet have shipped just three goals in five in front of their own supports.

The Joe Allen bandwagon has the chance to build momentum. The Welshman starts away to Hull today on the back of four goals in the last three and has some very obliging matches to follow.

Leicester will be hoping to bring their Champions League form to the table as Palace rock up to the King Power.

Islam Slimani and Riyad Mahrez combined for the Foxes midweek winner and square up to a defence without a clean sheet to their name. Jamie Vardy drops to the bench, though, as Claudio Ranieri rotates his options due to the busy schedule.

We’ll be looking for further signs of improvement at Swansea in their first home match under Bob Bradley.

The Welsh side put two past Arsenal this time last week and Gylfi Sigurdsson – with two goals and an assist in five now – is back on our radars after notching at the Emirates.

West Ham grabbed a much-needed win at Palace last week, teeing them up nicely as struggling Sunderland pay visit.

Dimitri Payet grabbed a top five spot in the Captain Poll on the back of a goal and four assists in five starts since returning from injury.

Michail Antonio was subject to more transfers out than any midfielder ahead of today’s plum home encounter and former owners will be hoping they won’t be ruing that decision come 4.45pm.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter
