The Premier League enters its tenth week with captivating fixtures. The pick of the pack is undoubtedly the Manchester Derby. One game that will gain Ghanaian interest is the “Ayew Derby” between Jordan’s Aston Villa and Andre’s Swansea Aston Villa Vs Swansea City – 14:00 GMT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ghana’s Jordan Ayew will welcome his elder brother Andre Ayew to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Both clubs are in poor form with Swansea outside the relegation drop zone only thanks to their early season form.<\/p>\n

Villa have won only one game since the 2015\/16 league begun, and will be hoping to kick start their season against Swansea who themselves are without a win in their last six games.<\/p>\n

Andre Ayew is a sure starter for this, but his brother on the other hand will hope his performance on the left wing against Chelsea last week was enough for manager Tim Sherwood to give him another chance even with Gabriel Agbonlahor returning from injury.<\/p>\n

Leicester Vs Crystal Palace – 14:00 GMT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two of this season’s surprise package will lock horns at the King Power Stadium in a mouth watering game. Leicester and Crystal Palace are 5th and 6th on the league log respectively with only a point separating them.<\/p>\n

The Thinker man Claudio Raneiri, will have available in-form striker James Vardy and Ghana international leftback Jeffrey Schlupp, both having recovered from wrist and head injuries sustained last weekend.<\/p>\n

Apart from suspended Dwight Gayle, manager Alan Pardew have available all his trusted men for Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Westham United Vs Chelsea – 14:00 GMT<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Upton Park on Saturday afternoon, the hammers will play as host to the blues who are 12th on the table with 11 points from a possible 27, trailing 4th placed West Ham by 6 points.<\/p>\n

Ghanaian defender Baba Rahman made his long awaited premier league debut last week in a win against Aston Villa helping Chelsea to keep their 2nd premier league this season.<\/p>\n

He however was left on the bench in their mid-week’s UCL away draw to Dynamo Kiev.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unlikely he will return to the 1st XI against a dangerous side like Bilic’s West Ham who have beaten all the big clubs they have met this season including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Mourinho will rather rest him for Tuesday\u2019s Capital One Cup game against Stoke City as he continues his gradual assimilation into the very physical English football.<\/p>\n

Westham will be without on loan winger Vector Moses, who is ineligible to play against his parent club Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are now looking to regain their form and Westham on the other hand have not been impressive at home with only a win in four home games making this game unpredictable.<\/p>\n

Arsenal Vs Everton – 16:30<\/strong><\/p>\n

The team of the moment, Arsenal, will welcome Everton to the Emirate Stadium in a late kickoff to round up Saturday\u2019s fixtures.<\/p>\n

A win will see them top the table, crowning a memorable week in style after beating German giant Bayern Munich, to get their UCL dream back on track.<\/p>\n

Everton are going into this game bruised after losing 3-0 to Man United in a tie which has been dominated by the toffees in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

Alexis Sanchez has scored 6 goals in his last 3 EPL games, having failed to score in the opening six games and with Ozil at his creative best, expects the gunners to pick all the three points from this game.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth V Tottenham – Sunday 14:00 GMT<\/strong><\/p>\n

In another EPL game, Ghana’s Christian Atsu will be looking to make his EPL debut for new club Bournemouth. The man on loan from Chelsea has been restricted to sub appearances in the Capital One Cup struggling to even make match day squad for EPL games.<\/p>\n

The fixture list hasn\u2019t been fair to Cherries on from losing to Manchester City; they face a Tottenham side who are yet to lose since their match day one defeat to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Vs Manchester City – Sunday – 14:00 GMT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Louis Van Gaal will welcome Manuel Pellegrini to the Old Trafford in this season’s first Manchester Derby.<\/p>\n

City will be without Kun Aguero and David Silva but are likely to welcome back their captain Vincent Kompany.
\nUnited don’t have any fresh injury concern. City’s new attacking signings Rahim Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne, have kicked the ground running tearing defense apart.<\/p>\n

United on the other hand, have only Martial to look up to as the other mercurial attacking import Depay, is yet to hit the ground running.<\/p>\n

A win for the blue half of Manchester will see City widen the gap between them and their rivals whereas a win for United will see them topple City.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Vs Southampton – Sunday – 16:00 GMT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last fixture of week 10 will see Jurgen Klopp play his first premier league game in front of the kop when Liverpool welcome Southampton to Anfield.<\/p>\n

Liverpool need a win to mount a top 4 challenge. Klopp’s side will be boosted by the return of Benteke and Firmino after a month out. Daniel Sturridge remains a huge doubt.<\/p>\n

With the fans fully charged up, Liverpool are expected to win against a Southampton side who are having a topsy-turvy season.
