Opening up the New Year with what we hope will be a stacked Premier League schedule, Saturday promises some noteworthy meetings from up and down the country.

Saturday January 1st
BST 15:00 Watford vs Tottenham
Starting with Saturday s guests, while Tottenham might have been left hugely frustrated to have only played out a 1-1 draw against Southampton earlier in the week, Spurs appear to be really enjoying life under Antonio Conte.

PSV have confirmed highly rated midfielder Ibrahim Sangare has agreed a new five-year deal, amid rumours of Premier League interest.
Sangare joined PSV from Toulouse in 2020 and has established himself as a key player for the Eredivisie side.
The 24-year-old, who started all six of PSV s Champions League games last season and played 29 times in the Dutch top flight, had been mooted as a potential target for Manchester United earlier in the transfer window, though reports over the weekend suggested West Ham were considering a move after missing out on Amadou Onana, who is set to join Everton.

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele is facing another spell on the sidelines after injuring his hamstring.
The France international was sent on as a half-time substitute in Saturday s shock 2-1 LaLiga loss to Cadiz.
He completed the match but it has now been revealed he suffered an elongation in the hamstring of his right leg.
