The Gunners of Arséne Wenger come into this weekend winners of four consecutive matches and five of their last six. The current streak has brought them to third place on the table with 54 points. Arsenal needs Alexis Sanchez to continue his scoring ways, which most recently saw him rise to fifth leading scorer with his netter against Queens Park Rangers. West Ham United has not seen victory since Jan. 18 in Premier League play, six consecutive encounters (three ties and three defeats). The Hammers continue to descend on the table and now find themselves in tenth place and with quickly fading hopes of snatching a Champions League qualifying position.

Burnley has not experienced victory in Premier League action in their last seven matches, the last time they won a match was at home vs. Queens Park Rangers on Jan. 10. The Clarets welcome defending Champion and current second place Manchester City to Turf Moor. Manuel Pellegrini's squad kept their Premier League title hopes alive with a 2-0 home win over Leicester City last Wednesday, thanks to goals from David Silva and James Milner. The Citizens look for co-league leading scorer Sergio Agüero to regain his form and lead them on THE MARCH to close THE FIVE point gap which separates them from the top of the table.

League leader Chelsea, which has not been defeated since Jan.1 when they fell to Tottenham Hotspur, welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge. The Blues of Jose Mourinho hope to extend the streak against The Saints who currently sit in seventh place with 49 points and have only won one of their last five Premier League encounters, albeit still within two points of a coveted Champions League qualifying.

Swansea City faces off against fifth place Liverpool having seen their two-match win streak end at the hands of Southampton 3-2 on Mar. 4. The Swans need to hold off The Reds of Brendan Rodgers, led by countrymen Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard, who have won their last four matches in Premier League action and have scored at least two goals in each match of the streak

Soccer commentator Sammy Sadovnik along with former Mexican National Team player Manuel Sol will narrate all the action of all the matches.
