Tottenham looking to take advantage of struggling Watford to start 2017 off right
Tottenham will be looking to close the gap on the top three. With Manchester City dropping points after losing 1-0 to Liverpool on Saturday, Spurs can at least pull level with the Sky Blues by picking up maximum points on the road to kick-start 2017 on the right footing. Currently, the visitors have won four out of their last five games, including three on the trot, and find themselves in fifth spot. With Manchester United seemingly in a better vein of form as of late, Tottenham will certainly want to avoid dropping any points, especially considering they will next have to take on city rivals Chelsea in an all-London Derby in a few days' time.
As we all know, Chelsea are simply unstoppable right now. Tottenham will need all the confidence and positive momentum they can get in order to have any chance at trying to stop Antonio Conte's men, who right now have racked up a very impressive 13 straight Premier League wins and sit six points clear of the chasing pack. Meanwhile, Watford are facing a terrible injury crisis at the moment and could have as many as nine key players out due to injuries and suspensions for this fixture. The Hornets have also won just one out of their last five league games, and this will be a match that Mauricio Pochettino's lads will want to take advantage of to start off the New Year with three points in the bag.

A must-win for Arsenal to get themselves back on track
On paper, this looks like it should be a straightforward three points for Arsenal. The Gunners find themselves in that much-dreaded fourth spot, but thanks to Manchester City dropping points against Liverpool earlier today, Arsene Wenger's boys can take advantage of this and move ahead into third. Crystal Palace are in a pretty bad spot at this point in time, and to complicate matters, the Eagles aren't exactly flying.
They're facing a slew of injuries and suspensions, and although the hosts are also dealing with absences to players like Per Mertesacker, Danny Welbeck, Santi Cazorla, whilst Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott are in doubt, Arsenal still have more than enough star quality available to get the result they need out of this game and look ahead to the next one as they seek to make amends from some bad showings at the tail end of 2016.
