The English Premier League is heading into the busy Christmas period, with Round 16 this weekend. Squad depths will be severely tested over the next few weeks, with Round 16 on Dec 17-18, Round 17 on Dec 20-22, Round 18 on Dec 26-27, Round 19 on Dec 30 - Jan 1 and Round 20 starting on Jan 2.
This weekend the headline match is Manchester City vs Arsenal. City will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season against Chelsea, while Arsenal haven't lost since October 2nd. Manchester United sit just two points behind City and are firm favourites to beat QPR this round, so a win for Arsenal could see United go top of the table.
