English Premier League returns from international break

Following the international break, the English Premier League resumes with a weekend of must-see action in the eighth week of the season.

On Saturday, Arsenal, who currently sit at the top of the standings, will face 14th-place Fulham. Mikel Arteta’s team has been one of the strongest in the league, scoring the second-most goals while conceding the fewest, with only three goals allowed. Fulham is eager to recover from two consecutive losses before the international break — first to Aston Villa, and then to Bournemouth, who made a comeback in the game.

On Sunday, Liverpool, currently sitting in second place in the standings, will host Manchester United. This match is the second of the day, following the game between Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. Liverpool is eager to get back to winning ways after suffering back-to-back losses in the Premier League, first against Crystal Palace and then against Chelsea.

Here is the full slate of games as the English Premier League returns.
