At Craven Cottage Fulham play host to Cardiff City in a game the home is looking to snatch three points from after picking up just one point in their last four games.
Manchester United, who bounced back from the derby defeat with a League Cup win over Liverpool earlier this week, will play host to West Bromwich at Old Trafford, with striker Robin van Persie set for a recall after missing the last two games with a groin injury.
Elsewhere, leaders Arsenal look to maintain their place at the top with a win over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, Hull City and West Ham clash at The KC Stadium, while Southampton face off with Crystal Palace at St. Mary’s Stadium.
