The English Premier League table could have some more movement on Sunday, as Tottenham and Liverpool will be playing the late match and with Chelsea and Manchester City moving up on Saturday, Luiz Suarez and company will be looking to continue their strong play against The Hotspurs at White Hart Lane and the match will be streaming from the NBC Sports live extra website.
Arsenal remains at the top of the table despite losing to Manchester City on Saturday and now Liverpool has the chance to jump over Manchester City and tie with Chelsea with three points against Tottenham. Liverpool was knocked down from two to five after wins by Chelsea and Manchester City on Saturday and that leaves Everton in fourth place and the Spurs in seventh place as EPL play starts on Sunday. Suarez has been excellent in recent weeks and he will be the main focus of the defense and it comes after a six goal outburst from Man City against Arsenal on Saturday. Liverpool won last week over West Ham United and Tottenham comes in after a win over Sunderland.

The week before that, Suarez had a four goal game and on Saturday he had two more goals in the win over West Ham and they were the last two goals of the match and they were a mere three minutes apart and he has been impressive as one of the leaders in the EPL this season. Tottenham got two goals after Sunderland started with a score from Adam Johnson, getting goals from Paulinho and then an own goal and now the team will take on Liverpool.
The results on Saturday played a big part in what Liverpool needs to do, as Chelsea rebounded from their Stoke City defeat with a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace and they got goals from Fernando Torres and Ramires and they are in nice position now heading into the back stretch of December. Everton won over Fulham with a score of 4-1 after getting three goals in a row when the match was tied 1-1 and other results included Newcastle United and Southampton in a draw as well as West Ham United and Sunderland and Hull City against Stoke City, with both coming as scoreless draws. The schedule has some great matches on Sunday and the best one is the 11 am ET late match with Tottenham and Liverpool.
Liverpool will be dealing with a tough injury to Steven Gerrard and he could be out for a month after getting hurt says Reuters.com. Gerrard will be sidelined for at least four weeks with the hamstring injury he picked up last weekend, manager Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday.
Gerrard suffered the problem during Liverpool's 4-1 win over West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday and had to be replaced after 56 minutes at Anfield.
"Steven is, as reported, probably going to be (out for) up to about four weeks or so," Rodgers told the Merseyside club's website (www.liverpoolfc.com).
"So he'll go through an extensive treatment programme over the next numbers of weeks and hopefully we can get him back that little bit sooner.
"But certainly at this stage, it was a four to six-week injury and we'll see how we look with that."
Rodgers had better news on Gerrard's fellow England midfielder Jordan Henderson, who suffered an ankle injury from a tackle by West Ham skipper Kevin Nolan. Nolan was sent off for the challenge.
"Jordan trained so he's fine," said Rodgers. "It was just precautionary the last few days. It was a bad challenge that was made on him, but thankfully he's okay."
Second-placed Liverpool, who are five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal, visit Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Spurs are sixth but can join Liverpool on 30 points with a win.
