The sixth round of fixtures in the 2015-16 Premier League campaign will get underway this lunchtime, with champions Chelsea kicking the action off against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho's side's third defeat of the season has been one of the main talking points over the last week.
Three of the four sides that were in Champions League action in midweek will be heading into their matches following defeats, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal all suffering losses in Europe.
There are also three matches taking place tomorrow, with the London derby between Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur, Norwich City's visit to Liverpool and the meetings between Southampton and Man Utd all scheduled for Sunday.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at some of the statistics surrounding each game.
Chelsea vs. Arsenal
Arsene Wenger secured his first win against a side managed by Jose Mourinho when these two sides last met during this season's Community Shield. It took the Frenchman 14 matches to break his duck against the Chelsea boss.
Following their 3-1 defeat to Everton last time out, Chelsea have the worst defence in the league so far this season, having let in 12 goals in their first five matches of the campaign.
The home side have scored in all but one of their league outings this season, failing to find the back of the net in their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Starting Theo Walcott, who scored in their defeat to Dinamo Zagreb during the week, could be crucial for the visitors, as the England international has 11 goals from his last 11 starts in the league.

West Brom have scored just three goals so far this season; only Newcastle United have fewer, while Villa have hit the target twice as often.
The visitors have been stronger at the back though, keeping clean sheets in three of their league outings so far, while Villa have kept their opponents out just once.
