Spurs and Chelsea seek home comforts as top two threaten to pull away

Liverpool and Manchester City are again threatening to streak clear in the Premier League title race with their main challengers looking ill-equipped to keep up.

Both teams were irresistible last season, with runners-up Liverpool finishing 25 points ahead of third-placed Chelsea, and they look a class apart again in this campaign.

The two front-runners will each expect to pick up another three points this weekend despite being on their travels as Liverpool go to Sheffield United and City visit Everton.

Leicester, Arsenal and West Ham are their closest challengers and early leaders in the fight for the final two Champions League places despite just three wins apiece after six rounds of matches.

Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United, all of whom have struggled badly, are under pressure to get back on track on home soil this weekend.

Sweet 16 for Liverpool?
=======================
"I don't want Liverpool to come here into our backyard and go, 'Well, thanks very much, that's the easiest three points we've picked up all season'. If they do win, I want it to be over our dead bodies."
Must-wins for struggling Spurs, Chelsea
=======================================
"Rather than losing the game against Leicester, which we deserved to win, three points more and we're third and everyone is talking about fantastic season, performance."
