Leaders Chelsea will play hosts to third place Manchester United in the game of the week, as the Blues try to move closer to winning the EPL title this season.

Jose Mourinho’s side starts the game on Saturday on 73 points, eight more than Manchester United, but the home side is expecting a difficult game, despite the visitors coming into the fixture without four key players, who are out injured.

Meanwhile, the battle for survival at the bottom of the table standings continues on the day, with Burnley and Leicester City both in action.

Leicester City, who have won its last two games and picked up seven-points from the last four games, will take on Swansea City, looking to lift themselves off the base of the Premier League‘s table standings.

Swansea have won its last two and are unbeaten in their last three fixtures in the EPL.

Burnley will face Everton at home and a win will see them jumping over Queens Park Rangers and Hull City and out of the relegation zone and into 17th place.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Southampton will face Stoke City on the road, with the Saints still backing themselves to finish in the top four and be eligible for Champions League football next season.
