Matchday 11 in the English Premier League will give the league leaders quite a bit of a headache. Their trip to Aston Villa will not be as easy as fans may think, and beating the Villans will not be a walk in the park. This will also make Manchester City stay on their feet, as they will try to cut the six-point gap between them and the Reds as the fight for the top spot in the EPL intensifies.
Elsewhere, Manchester United will try to show the world they are truly back by avoiding any setbacks against Bournemouth. Another interesting game will take place on Saturday, with Arsenal hosting a rising Wolverhampton team. The last fixture that day will see fourth-place Chelsea trying to break the tie between them and Leicester as they will want to hand Watford yet another loss.
Sunday's games will also provide a few talking points, as the surprising Leicester City side will try to walk away from Selhurst Park with all the points. Later that day, Tottenham will try to put an end to a woeful streak when they visit Everton.
Without further ado, here's what you need to keep an eye on for Matchday 11 in the English Premier League.

Coach's quotes ahead of Matchday 11
Jurgen Klopp's decision to forfeit the team's upcoming League Cup tie has once again caused quite a stir, and today, the coach gave an insight on why he believes that football should slow its pace a bit. While at it, he did not aim a dig against the FA or the Premier League, but also against UEFA and FIFA.
"If you are an international player and play all the big competitions in the world, then you have per year two weeks off. That's a fact. Two weeks for the Manes', the Salahs', Hendersons', all these guys have two weeks off a year. In a physically demanding job with pressure as well - we cannot 'say this game is not important, or this game we don't have to play really' - that's the situation," the coach said.
