The Three Must-Watch Storylines
1. The "Fletcher Factor" at Man United
All eyes are on Turf Moor as Darren Fletcher takes charge of Manchester United for the first time as interim manager. Following the shock departure of Ruben Amorim earlier this week, will the Red Devils find that "new manager bounce," or will Burnley pull off a massive upset against a side in transition?
2. The West London Derby
Fulham vs. Chelsea is rarely quiet, but with the Blues desperately fighting to climb back into the top four, the stakes have never been higher. Craven Cottage will be a pressure cooker tonight.
3. Can Brighton Stun the Etihad?
Manchester City are looking to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal, but Brighton remains the ultimate "banana skin" team. If Pep Guardiola’s men slip up tonight, the title race could take a massive turn in favor of the Gunners.
