EPL Matchday 9: TV Listings, full fixtures including Chelsea vs Man United

Topics: English Premier League, Chelsea, Manchester United, TV Schedules, TV Listings

The Blues and the Red Devils will re-start the English Premier League after the international break. More stats and facts ahead of this weekend here.

It's time to watch one of the best leagues in the world, as Matchday 9 of the English Premier League kicks off on Saturday.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all tied at the top with 20 points apiece, but the Citizens hold a slight edge over their opponents due to their better goal difference. Chelsea will have the toughest match of the bunch, while Manchester City and Klopp's men seem to have two less complicated games.

One more team to keep an eye on is Arsenal, since Emery's men enter this game on a six-game winning streak in the EPL. If all teams that own the top three spots lost and the Gunners won, then the London-based club would take the top of the competition.

Let's have an in-depth look at how things will unfold this weekend.

Match of the Week - Chelsea vs Manchester United

Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge, but things may be as hot as ever for the Portuguese boss. Man United's last-gasp win against Newcastle saw him keep his job, but a massive loss against one of the league leaders would bring back all the criticism.

The Blues seem to be understanding quickly how their coach wants them to play. While their record should see them step on the pitch as the favorite, a tight schedule for most of their footballers during the international break could give Mourinho the chance to get away from his old home with all the points.

Talk of the weekend - Liverpool's woeful International Break curse

The dreaded International Break hit some Premier League clubs hard, but none had it worse than Liverpool. The Reds might face the game against Huddersfield without eight players, including top goalscorer Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. Will they be able to walk away from John Smith's Stadium with all the points and put an end to their four-game streak without a win in all comps?
