The English Premier League enters 25th Match Day this weekend.
It all kicks off at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester City host Chelsea on Saturday lunch time.
The Game Week ends late on Sunday, when Manchester City travel to Tottenham Hotspur.
So what 10 things can we expect to see?
1. Arteta's first away win? Mikel Arteta is yet to win away in the league, since he replaced Unai Emery. This Sunday, he takes his team to Burnley, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and David Luiz back from suspension. Arteta has been able to instill his philosophy very quickly into the squad. And Turf Moor will be a good place to show how far they've come.
2. Fernandes lighting up Old Trafford? Finally, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has gotten a creative midfielder his squad has been crying out for. Bruno Fernandes finalized his move from Sporting Lisbon this week, after the Red Devils eventually increased their offer to around £68million. The Portugal international is expected to take the stage when Wolves visit on Saturday. And judging from his highlights reel, there is a lot in his locker.
3. Liverpool close in on Invincibles? Jurgen Klopp's men have already been crowned champions-in-waiting by a section of fans and pundits. While on their way to the title, Liverpool look certain to break certain records. One of which will be the 49-game unbeaten run by Arsenal's Invincibles. The Reds are currently on 41, ahead of this weekend's home fixture against Southampton.
4. Iwobi's return: Alex Iwobi will finally make his return to the Everton side for this weekend's clash against Watford. The Super Eagles star is yet to feature under new manager, Carlo Ancelotti and will be seeking to impress the Italian tactician. It will indeed be interesting to see how he fits into Ancelotti's plans and what position he is fielded in
5. More VAR drama: This has become a weekly staple in the Premier League. England's topflight have continually made a mess of Video Assistant Referees (VAR), by not allowing officials use pitchside monitors. Instead, they are made to wait and press their fingers to devices in their ears, when contentious incidents happen. Expect more of the same.
