Matchday 14 in the English Premier League may be one of the most interesting in recent memory, mainly due to what's at stake.
Liverpool enter this game after dropping two points in the UEFA Champions League, and facing Brighton will not be as easy as it seems, even if the Seagulls have lost two in a row.
Leicester City will try to defend their second place on Sunday when they host the struggling Everton, who's coach Marco Silva is facing serious heat from fans and experts. There's a 15-point gap between these sides, and the Foxes will surely try to make a statement at King Power Stadium.
Manchester City will take a trip to Newcastle, where the Magpies will try to hand them one more blow in their attempt to win three EPL titles in a row. Pep Guardiola's last game at St. James' Park ended in defeat, and without key man Sergio Aguero, things could get ugly for the Spaniard this weekend.
Jose Mourinho will be making his debut at home when Spurs face Bournemouth. The Cherries don't have the best memories of their recent clashes away against Tottenham, and Mou will surely try to keep it that way on Saturday's match.
Without further ado, here's what you need to keep an eye on for Matchday 14 in the English Premier League.
