Forget all that super league club nonsense at the top of the table, this is where the real drama is at today.

I'm at Elland Road, where the sun is fighting a losing battle to shine through the clouds and the Premier League's bottom two clubs are going head to head in a massive clash that very well define the way the rest of their season goes.

All either will be focused on is a win. A defeat is pretty much unthinkable, especially for the losing set of supporters, who will face some dark moments in the aftermath.

Technically, Leeds should be looking for a new-manager boost today, it being Javi Gracia's bow as Whites boss. But Ruben Selles is only on his second Saints game, so surely remains in the honeymoon period?

The prize for a win is potentially moving out of the bottom three. The wooden spoon? Why that would be dead last in the table.

Six pointer? You better believe it!

Two new managers, two teams who have shown lightweight form and in heavyweight trouble at the wrong end of the Premier League.

Wins and points crucial for both, so who will be celebrating come 17:00 GMT? Will it be Groovy for Gracia or Sensational for Selles?

Whatever happens the next few weeks are going to be very interesting...

Everton keeper Jordan Pickford says he wants to "build a legacy" at the club like Neville Southall after signing a new contract until 2027.

Pickford joined the Toffees in 2017 and has made 222 appearances for them.

Southall played a record 751 times for Everton , externalbetween 1981 and 1998, helping them win two league titles, two FA Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup.

"The support I've had from everyone at the club since I joined as a 22-year-old has been so important to my family and me," said Pickford.

"I'm happy here and so are my family. We love it at Everton."

One thing I can promise with cast-iron certainty this afternoon: there will be a ground-wide murmur of fear if the home team concede a free-kick within 30 yards of their own goal.

James Ward-Prowse struck his 17th Premier League free-kick to give Southampton an unexpected but very welcome win at Chelsea last weekend.

All the noise around Ruben Selles has been positive, before and certainly after that result. Job one today is to turn any noise and hostility away from them and on to the home team.

I don't think they Manchester City look fatigued but I wouldn't say they look harmonious.

I can't remember the last time City led in fixtures and didn't go on to win them consecutively.

When Arsenal slipped up in January and February, City would normally click into gear but that hasn't happened. They don't look like the fluid Manchester City that I'm used to seeing.

Ruben Selles starts with his team bottom of the league but his next game is against Leeds. If you win that, you’re potentially out of the bottom three.

Southampton have been better away from home and beat Chelsea last week. If he can provide confidence, they’ll play better and get results.

If West Ham don't beat Nottingham Forest on Saturday then I fear things will turn ugly at London Stadium and the home crowd will be calling for Moyes to go.

Moyes is partly a victim of raising expectations by finishing seventh last season, and I hope he does win this game because he deserves to keep his job, but his side are definitely underachieving this time around after some expensive signings last summer.

Forest are five points and five places above the Hammers and far from safe themselves. They also have the worst away record in the top flight this season, with one win and only six points in total from 11 games.

Steve Cooper's side got away with one, somehow, by nicking a draw against Manchester City last weekend - but I don't look at Forest and think many teams are going to struggle to break them down.

Prediction: 1-1

I don’t think there is a problem at Manchester City. I think they’ve just dropped their standards.

Other teams that have similar quality to City, and are in the race for top four or top six, are now having a go at them, maybe that’s a change.

It’s a sensible appointment considering the candidates and the risks that they come with. Gracia knows the league, he’s very experienced. He led Watford to the FA Cup final and a credible finish in the league; of the names mentioned he was the sensible one.

There’s a lot of talent at Leeds, he could get the best out of the squad. They are still ingrained in the Marcelo Bielsa way; they are frenetic, intense. Gracia has got to harness that and stamp his authority on it.

Leicester could lose five consecutive league games against Arsenal for the first time in 91 years.

Arsenal are vying to win three consecutive away league fixtures against the Foxes for the first time since 1925.

The Gunners have won each of their last three away matches against Leicester in all competitions.

One of the major talking points of the transfer window was Everton's failure to sign a player, despite being in the relegation zone and selling academy product Anthony Gordon to Newcastle for £40m.

The under fire board, who have been told to stay away from home games by a campaigning group, have engaged in a lengthy Q&A with the fan advisory board.

One of the questions posed was around the club's transfer policy and explaining the situation that happened with Arnaut Danjuma, who the club say they had a deal in place for the Villarreal player only for "another club to step in at the 11th hour".

The club said: "With that deal no longer viable, the reality was there was only a small pool of available players who would have improved our first XI.

"When Sean Dyche was appointed as our new manager, he shared the view that any new signings had to be capable of making an immediate impact to the team and improve the options already available to us.

"Sean also felt the squad he inherited has more quality than our league position at the time of his arrival."

While the title challenge rumbles on, focus on the relegation battle is becoming sharper every week as it tightens up.

Bottom club Southampton have a huge game at Leeds, who are under new management and only a point above them in the table.

West Ham host Forest and could move out of the relegation zone with a win, keeping Steve Cooper's side in danger in the process.

Everton will hope to use the fortress of Goodison Park to give them a big three points against Aston Villa.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth have a tricky task of picking up points at home to champions Manchester City. And Leicester - only four points from safety - are also at home to league leaders Arsenal.

Javi Gracia came across well in his first Leeds press conference yesterday. It has been a whirlwind week for the Spaniard, whose successful Visa application was only announced 15 minutes before his 12:45 GMT sit down with the media.

In his first programme notes as manager, he declares he "would not have taken on this role if I did not believe I could turn things round". He also calls for "as much positivity as possible" from the fans.

He's not wrong. These Leeds supporters have been promised things were about to turn for the better since November without it ever doing so. The Whites are the only team in England's top six tiers without a victory since November 6 - the date of their last at home against Bournemouth.

It's another huge day in the Premier League with the league's top two both in action.

Arsenal and Manchester City are both on the road at 15:00 GMT, with two points separating the teams (though, Arsenal still have a crucial game in hand).

The only other side in the top 10 in action is Liverpool, who also travel to Crystal Palace in the late kick-off.

*All times 15:00 GMT unless stated otherwise

Everton v Aston Villa

Leeds United v Southampton

Leicester City v Arsenal

West Ham v Nottingham Forest

Bournemouth v Manchester City - 17:30 GMT

Crystal Palace v Liverpool - 19:45 GMT

Good afternoon. Lots going on today.

There's big games everywhere as the bottom five are all in action, as well as the league's top two.

Leeds boss Javi Gracia will take charge of his first match since being appointed manager, while their opponents Southampton recently confirmed Ruben Selles will takeover until the end of the season.

Pressure continues to mount on West Ham boss David Moyes ahead of their key match against Nottingham Forest.

And Liverpool are looking for a response after their 5-2 thrashing by Real Madrid this week.

Busy day then!
