It is Chelsea lead the pack going into the next round of top flight matches with the Anfield outfit currently in second spot, a point behind Antonio Conte\u2019s side as they head to game 13.<\/p>\n
Manchester City, fresh from qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League midweek, are third only by goal difference and Arsenal could mathematically move to the top from fourth, though that seems unlikely.<\/p>\n
Klopp\u2019s troops host the Black Cats in a clash which sees Jermain Defoe attempt to maintain his sharp form in front of goal as he chases down ex-Reds striker Robbie Fowler\u2019s Premier League tally of 162. Former England hitman, Defoe currently has 150 goals in the bag.<\/p>\n
Chelsea look to overcome the challenge of a bruised Tottenham side, who crashed out of the Champions League on Tuesday. But Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s charges remain unbeaten in the league so far this campaign and they will look to bounce back at the home of their London rivals.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola\u2019s City men go to Burnley for a 12.30pm kick-off and it should prove a stern test for the Clarets, still reeling from their 3-0 drubbing last time of asking at Sunderland.<\/p>\n
Arsenal, meanwhile, wait until Sunday to face Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, and do so having drawn 2-2 with PSG in the Champions League at home midweek.<\/p>\n
Manchester United are also in action on the same day and they welcome West Ham to Old Trafford with an eye on going one better than they did against Arsenal last week.<\/p>\n
