A busy week started with Super Sunday at Stamford Bridge.

Wednesday night was spent at St Mary's to see a thoroughly entertaining game between Southampton and Aston Villa. Its three defeats on the spin now for Mauricio Pochettino's side, who need to halt the slide but now also have injuries to key players to deal with. Next up is the small matter of Manchester City, who proved they can win away from home this week and will want revenge after defeat at St Mary's last season.

Super Sunday this weekend comes from the Emirates. First up is an intriguing game at Craven Cottage and a big one Rene Muelensteen after defeat in his first match in charge ended in defeat against Tottenham. However, Fulham were much improved on Wednesday night after Muelensteen made seven changes to the team. Sunday won't be easy as Villa proved again at Southampton how effective they are away from home and how dangerous they are on the break. Punters may be tempted by Sky Bet's 8/5 on an away win. Arsenal are 9/4 to win the title but can they do it? Bet now After the game at Craven Cottage we get the chance to see the League leaders Arsenal take on Everton, who will be buzzing after their win at Old Trafford. Arsenal will be looking to keep their momentum going and their lead at the top. They are currently second favourites at 9/4 in Sky Bet's title odds behind Manchester City at 6/4. It's not hard to picture a scenario where Arsenal are still a few points ahead after Christmas. They could be the hare being chased down in the New Year by the juggernauts from Manchester City and Chelsea. Now that would be a title race to savour.
