Gameweek 14 only wrapped up on Thursday night but as Jurgen Klopp often reminds us, there is no rest for the wicked in the Premier League.
Things kicked off with five goals in a thrilling London derby on Saturday lunchtime as West Ham saw off Chelsea, while only one late goal separated Liverpool and Wolves.

Sunday will see Ralf Rangnick take to the Old Trafford dugout for the first time when his Manchester United side take on Crystal Palace, while there is also a Midlands clash between Aston Villa and Leicester.
The curtain then comes down on Gameweek 15 on Monday night when Arsenal travel to Goodison Park to face struggling Everton.
Follow along with 90min as the action unfolds…
Man Utd 0-0 Crystal Palace
Leeds 1-0 Brentford
Tyler Roberts gets plenty of stick from Leeds fans but it was he who opened the scoring against Brentford.
The Welshman got on the end of Raphinha’s excellent low cross for the game’s opener.
Tottenham 1-0 Norwich
Tottenham’s Lucas Moura is a player who can be absolutely brilliant or absolutely shocking – fortunately for Antonio Conte, it was the former version who rocked up to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Linking up with Son Heung-min, the Brazilian turned on a sixpence before firing a 25-yard rocket into the top corner of Tim Krul’s goal after just ten minutes.
Aston Villa vs Leicester
When is kick off? Sunday 5 December, 16:30 (GMT)
Where is the match being played? Villa Park
The curtain comes down on Sunday’s action with a Midlands derby between Aston Villa and Leicester City.
Villa’s revival under Steven Gerrard took a hit on Wednesday when Manchester City beat them 2-1, while Leicester’s poor finishing saw them draw 2-2 with Southampton. Expect a similarly tight game, but Gerrard’s men may just edge it.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Leicester

Everton vs Arsenal
When is kick off? Monday 6 December, 20:00 (GMT)
Where is the match being played? Goodison Park
Rounding off this weekend’s Premier League action is Everton vs Arsenal on Monday evening. The Toffees are on a horrid run of form, making the much-improved Gunners favourites here.
If Everton do lose again, Rafa Benitez could be in serious danger of getting the boot.
Prediction: Everton 0-2 Arsenal
West Ham 3-2 Chelsea
A month on from beating Liverpool and failing to win any of their next three domestic matches, an impressive West Ham claimed the scalp of another Premier League title contender when Arthur Masuaku scored a bizarre late winner that looked like a mishit cross.
Thiago Silva put Chelsea into the lead just under half an hour in, but that lead was erased by Manuel Lanzini from the penalty spot. Mason Mount made it 2-1 in the closing stages of the first half, but again the Hammers got back level through Jarrod Bowen.
Masuaku’s decisive goal came with three minutes of the 90 remaining and condemned Chelsea to only their second Premier League defeat of the season.

Newcastle 1-0 Burnley
Newcastle finally won a Premier League game at the 15th time of asking this season when a single Callum Wilson goal was enough to see off Burnley at St James’ Park.
Wilson was quickest to react to a spill from Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope in the closing stages of the first half and it proved to be enough for the three points because the Clarets didn’t really mount much threat of their own other than a lot of shots off target.
Pope actually had to be on top form later on to prevent Newcastle extending their lead.

Southampton 1-1 Brighton
Southampton were denied victory in this clash of the Premier League’s south coast clubs by a dramatic and controversial 98th minute equaliser.
The Saints had led for more than an hour of play at St Mary’s thanks to a first half goal from Armando Broja, but they were unable to build on that lead and it left them vulnerable.
The reason for 10 minutes of stoppage time was Leandro Trossard’s lengthy treatment before being stretchered off late on, while Southampton appealed the equaliser because one of their players was down needing treatment when it was scored.
Wolves 0-1 Liverpool
Liverpool dominated possession and had 17 shots against Wolves. But only five of those efforts were on target and but for a 94th minute winner from cult hero Divock Origi they were about to be embarrassed.
Liverpool should have scored several long before they did but were denied by a combination of heroic Wolves defending and wayward finishing.
Defeat was harsh on Wolves, who thought they had done enough to earn a point.

Watford 1-3 Man City
Manchester City will finish the weekend top of the Premier League thanks to their win over Watford combined with Chelsea’s defeat to West Ham earlier in the day.
Bernardo Silva was the star man again for the reigning champions, scoring twice in the 3-1 victory. Raheem Sterling got the first early on and it was 3-0 before Cucho Hernandez was able to pull back a consolation strike for Watford.
The Hornets have come crashing back to earth since thrashing Manchester United last month, with this now a third defeat on the spin.
