The English Premier League returns to its full schedule after the first-ever winter break of this league. Liverpool has kept an impressive form, and this time, they will aim to get closer to the invincibility record by not dropping points against West Ham.
The first game of the weekend will see Jose Mourinho making a trip back to Stamford Bridge, where he will try to add to the Blues' recent woes and break into the top four. Manchester City and Leicester will lock horns on Saturday evening as they wage their particular battle for the second place.
Elsewhere, Manchester United will try to make the most out of their clash against Watford, while Arsenal will want to claim three crucial points against Everton in their attempt to go back to the top ten teams in the league.

Coach's quotes ahead of Matchday 27
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp looked back at this midweek's game against Atlético, where he had to take Sadio Mané off as he feared his star could be sent off. Today, the German boss dismissed claims of potential unrest from the Senegales ace over this issue.
"I spoke to him this morning. I asked him if he was surprised and he said yes. I don'tt think he had a chance, in my honest opinion (to escape a red card). We needed him physical, having contact with opponents. I didn't believe we could complete the game with eleven with him on the pitch. But now he's completely fine, he's rested which is good as well," Klopp stated.
