With Southampton facing Man City tomorrow, the Blues can go nine points clear at the top today with a win over Sunderland.
That game at the Stadium of Light is the late kick-off this evening at half-past five.
– But first-up today will be the clash at the Hawthorns as West Brom prepare to host an Arsenal side that will be hoping to follow-up on their Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund in mid-week.
That match kicks-off at 12:45.
In this afternoon's 3pm matches…
Aston Villa begin life without Roy Keane with a trip to Turf Moor to face Burnley.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce will try to plot the defeat of his former club, Newcastle at Upton Park.
Elsewhere, Man United host Hull City, QPR are at home to Leicester and Crystal Palace visit Swansea.

But the Reds boss is taking it all in his stride…
