Wolves are driven by Ruben Neves. The 25-year-old has defied the transfer rumor mill to stick with the Molineux set and he’s grown to be the focal point of their organization on the pitch.
Bournemouth’s addition of Dango Ouattara in the January transfer window has proven an inspired one, giving the Cherries electric pace and terrific passing from a visionary wide player.

All eyes will be on Arsenal as they head to Aston Villa on Saturday looking to get back on track after their midweek defeat at Manchester City.
STREAM LIVE ASTON VILLA v ARSENAL
Mikel Arteta’s side battled hard against City but made big mistakes at key moments and they have now been knocked off top spot after dropping points in four of their last six Premier League games. All is not lost as they still have a game in-hand on City but Arteta has a big job on his hands to raise the confidence levels for this clash at Villa Park, and beyond.
As for Villa, their confidence has taken a bit of a battering in recent weeks as they’ve conceded seven goals in their last two outings, which were defeats against Leicester City and Manchester City. Former Arsenal boss Unai Emery has done a fine job to steady the ship since he arrived at Villa and they generally look much better defensively and are very dangerous on the counter.

All of the focus will be on Arsenal and how they respond to that home defeat, their first of the season, to Manchester City. All is not lost for Arteta’s young side and if they can cut out some of the big defensive mistakes and also finish the chances they are creating, they will hang in their with Man City for the rest of the season. The fine details alluded them in their top of the table clash but they’ve been very good at being ruthless and scoring early throughout this season.
Villa’s midfield could cause them problems though as Kamara and Luiz have been excellent since Emery’s arrival and Watkins and Bailey have also looked electric in attack.
Aston Villa team news, injuries, lineup optionsOUT: Diego Carlos (Achilles), Bertrand Traore (knee), Jed Steer (Achilles), DOUBT: Tyrone Mings (unknown)
Arsenal team news, injuries, lineup optionsOUT: Gabriel Jesus (knee), Mohamed Elneny (knee), Emile Smith Rowe (thigh), DOUBT: Thomas Partey (back)

Chelsea host Southampton at Stamford Bridge as two teams badly out form both need a win to kick-start their seasons.
STREAM LIVE CHELSEA v SOUTHAMPTON
Graham Potter is really struggling at Chelsea as his team continue to put in decent performances but aren’t taking their opportunities in front of goal. They lost 1-0 at Borussia Dortmund in midweek in their UEFA Champions League last 16 first leg and they have drawn three-straight Premier League games as Chelsea have won just one of their last nine games in all competitions. The pressure is mounting on Potter, especially as he now has so many talented players at his disposal after a flurry of arrivals in January. Chelsea sit in 10th place in the table and are 10 points off the top four.
Southampton sacked Nathan Jones following their humbling home defeat to 10-man Wolves last weekend and it looked like Jesse Marsch would be their next manager. However, that deal for Marsch broke down and now Ruben Selles is in charge on a caretaker basis as the assistant coach could well take over for the rest of the season. Saints sit bottom of the table but are somehow just four points from safety despite a run of nine defeats from their last 10 Premier League games. Interesting note: Southampton beat Chelsea 2-1 earlier this season and have matched up pretty well against the Blues in recent years.

All of the focus at Chelsea is on scoring more goals and they have been so close to doing that in recent games. They didn’t take their chances in the first half at West Ham last weekend and were made to pay for that in the 1-1 draw, while Potter not starting a proper No. 9 up top continues to boggle the mind. Chelsea’s new signings Fernandez, Mudryk and Felix all look very good and you have to think everything will slot into place very nicely soon. As for Southampton, a couple of their January signings look like top players too with Carlos Alcaraz, 20, scoring his first goal last week against Wolves and Kamaldeen Sulemana looks like a brilliant attacking talent. Now, can Saints improve defensively? If they can, they have a chance of staying up.
Chelsea team news, injuries, lineup optionsOUT: N’Golo Kante (hamstring), Armando Broja (knee), Edouard Mendy (finger), Christian Pulisic (knee), DOUBT: Ben Chilwell (ankle), Raheem Sterling (knee)

Newcastle will be looking at its injury report as Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Miguel Almiron are all in question with Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock both out, too. That will put focus on relative new boy Alexander Isak and very new boy Anthony Gordon.
Liverpool’s attack is still all about Mohamed Salah, but the returns of Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota have joined Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez in giving Jurgen Klopp a lot of ways to show off his Egyptian star’s best assets.

Everton and Leeds clash in a huge relegation six-pointer at Goodison Park as these two teams are only separated by one point.
STREAM LIVE EVERTON v LEEDS
Plenty of optimism is in the air at Goodison after the arrival of Sean Dyche as the Toffees beat Arsenal at home and then pushed Liverpool all the way in a defeat at Anfield last time out. Everton are still in the relegation zone but are just one point behind Leeds and Dyche’s side look more organized and solid and everyone expects them to drag themselves out of the bottom three.
Leeds have caretaker boss Michael Skubala in charge for two massive games against Everton and then at home against Southampton the following weekend. They fired American coach Jesse Marsch without having a replacement lined up and if Skubala fares well, he could well become their manager for the final months of the season. They drew at Manchester United and lost narrowly at home to the same team a few days later in his first two games in charge, so it appears Leeds are up for the fight.

Everton’s midfield trio of Amadou Onana, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Idrissa Gana Gueye will be key in this relegation scrap and so is Dominic Calvert-Lewin who was missing through injury last time out. Everton’s defense will be well-organized and set pieces are something they are clearly focused on when it comes to goalscoring opportunities.
Leeds continue to look to teenager Wilfried Gnonto for goals and inspiration, while USMNT duo Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie are doing their best to win the ball in midfield and drive the team forward. Defending properly continues to be the biggest issue for Leeds.
Everton team news, injuries, lineup optionsOUT: Nathan Patterson (knee), Andros Townsend (knee), DOUBT: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (hamstring), James Garner (back)
Leeds team news, injuries, lineup optionsOUT: Rodrigo (ankle), Stuart Dallas (leg), Luis Sinisterra (thigh), Archie Gray (ankle), Adam Forshaw (hip), Sonny Perkins (ankle), DOUBT: Liam Cooper (knock), Marc Roca (knock),
