Manchester United ($1.90) vs West Ham United ($3.80) \u2013 Sunday 23rd January @2:00am AEDT<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Meanwhile, West Ham will be looking to give themselves breathing space from the likes of United, Tottenham and Arsenal, who are all closing in on the east London side.<\/p>\n

David Moyes\u2019s team will be looking to bounce back at Old Trafford following a disappointing loss at home to Leeds United last weekend.<\/p>\n

Chelsea ($1.66) vs Tottenham Hotspur ($5) \u2013 Monday 24th January @3:30am AEDT<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Chelsea will be looking to beat Tottenham three times in the space of a fortnight at Stamford Bridge on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

The Blues defeated Spurs in both legs of their recent Carabao Cup tie, winning 2-0 and 1-0 respectively.<\/p>\n

However, Chelsea\u2019s league form has been far less impressive. Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side are winless in their last four, with their most recent fixture ending in a 1-1 draw away at Brighton.<\/p>\n

Tottenham remain unbeaten in the league since Antonio Conte became Spurs boss in November, though they are very much a work in progress.<\/p>\n

They were thoroughly outclassed by their London rivals in the Carabao Cup semi-final, however they bounced back incredibly well, beating Leicester 3-2 with the last kick of the game, when they were 2-1 down only 90 seconds earlier.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Team News<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antonio Conte will be desperate for starting centre-halves Cristian Romero and Eric Dier to be available for selection following long-term injuries.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have defensive problems of their own, with star full-backs Ben Chilwell and Rhys James still unavailable to play.<\/p>\n
