Start Time and Streaming Info

Chelsea is currently at the top of the English top flight after going on a six-game winning run. The team is only a point above second and third-running squads Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Blues are coming off a close 1-0 victory over newly-promoted team Middlesbrough on the road at the Riverside Stadium last Sunday to extend their winning streak to six games, as per the Telegraph.
Spanish striker Diego Costa scored the game's winning goal in the 41st minute with an incredible shot amidst three defenders following a corner kick.
It was the first time in the English top flight that Chelsea has named the same starting XI for five consecutive games as Costa and frontline partner Eden Hazard was able to play despite questions about their fitness following the international break.
Meanwhile, Tottenham nipped West Ham United, 3-2, in a high-scoring game at the White Hart Lane last Saturday to finally find a win after four consecutive drawn matches, Sports Mole reported.
West Ham started the scoring with a goal by midfielder Michail Antonio in the 24th minute.
The equalizer came six minutes after the restart as Tottenham's 20-year-old midfielder Harry Winks, who made his debut start in the Premier League, netted a close-range goal off a rebound play from a Vincent Janssen strike.
The Hammers them grabbed back the lead in the 68th with a penalty kick by Argentine midfielder Manuel Lanzini.
It looked like head coach Mauricio Pochettino's squad will finally have their first loss this season, but striker Harry Kane scored a brace in the 89th and 90th+1 minutes to help the Spurs remain as the only undefeated in the Premier League after 12 rounds of matches.
