Welcome to the final day of October, and a grandstand finish to the month.
Saturday brings an eight-match programme, with kick-offs staggered between 12:30 and 20:00 GMT. Some of the competition's best-loved teams are in action, including Man City, Tottenham, and Aston Villa.
The show begins at Stamford Bridge in London, where Chelsea plot to pile misery on visitors Manchester United. The old stadium will be packed, with millions more following every tackle, shot, goal, and save on TV and live-streaming apps.

Result - Chelsea win
I waste no time picking sides, backing Chelsea to beat Manchester United and strengthen their bid for a top-four finish with a vital three points.
Things haven't gone exactly to plan for Blues boss Xabi Alonso in the opening eight games of the campaign. The locals start the weekend in fifth, knowing victory would move them above Liverpool into fourth.
Chelsea bring stats of four wins, one draw and three defeats. With half of those victories coming in the last three games, the Londoners are heading in the right direction.
Man Utd are feeling battered and bruised, sitting 16th, just one point above Nottingham Forest and the relegation zone. They have won just one game to date, and travel with two defeats and four draws in their previous six starts.
Chelsea have scored seven goals this month, five at Stamford Bridge. Man Utd have just two goals in the same three-game period, losing 3-0 to Bournemouth last time.
It's also worth noting that United are stuck in the thick of an agonising eight-game winless streak. Confidence is rock bottom in the camp following defeats to Man City, Brighton, Atletico Madrid, Como, and Bournemouth.
Chelsea have played four matches this month, while their opponents have already racked up five, making the hosts a touch fresher.
All the pressure is on Man Utd manager Michael Carrick ahead of kick-off, with many pundits and fans believing his days are numbered.
Poor form, a manager on thin ice, and head-to-head stats showing one win in their last six visits to Stamford Bridge make Man Utd easy to oppose. I'm happy to take them on until they show signs of recovery.
Tip: Chelsea win @ 4/5 (bet365)
Bet explanation: The most popular betting market in football, and the easiest to follow. If Chelsea scores more goals than Man Utd in Saturday's early afternoon kick-off, you win.
Both teams to score - Yes
My second Chelsea v Man Utd prediction comes from the always-popular both teams to score betting market.
With this approach, followers aren't too interested in which team wins, and which players get on the scoresheet. As long as Chelsea score at least one goal and Man Utd also find the net at least once, your bet wins.
Chelsea have played four home matches so far this season, with both teams scoring in three of those fixtures. They used home advantage to beat Brighton 4-3 and Bournemouth 5-1. The Blues also drew 2-2 with Hull and lost 2-0 to Tottenham in the spare result.
Manchester United have played three away games so far, with both teams scoring twice. The Red Devils opened with a 2-0 defeat at Hull, then drew 2-2 with Everton and 1-1 at Fulham.
Finishing with a look at the head-to-head, both teams to score has an 80% success rate in the last 10 Premier League meetings.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 8/15 (bet365)
Bet explanation: The winning team isn't important here. You need Chelsea and Manchester United to score at least one goal each on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge.
2+ shots on target - Pedro Neto
The third and final Chelsea vs Man Utd prediction to consider, and it's another based on the latest stats.
I'm tipping Chelsea attacker Pedro Neto to register at least two shots on target.
The 26-year-old number seven has had two or more shots on target in each of his previous four top-flight games. He has also scored four goals in 10 appearances this term.
Neto found the net in a 4-3 win over Brighton, and banked both goals in a convincing win at Everton. Pedro also chipped in with a goal in that stunning 6-3 League Cup win over Leeds United at this stadium last month.
Need more convincing before parting with your hard-earned cash to cover this bet?
Neto had two shots on target in Chelsea's most recent EPL match, despite the 2-0 loss to Tottenham. He had one shot and an assist in the 5-1 win over Bournemouth, another in a surprise 3-0 loss at Brentford, and contributed one shot during a 2-2 draw with Hull.
Tip: Neto 2+ shots on target @ 4/1 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You don't need Pedro Neto to score on Saturday against Manchester United, but you do need the Chelsea number seven to have at least two shots on target.
