Five league matches will kickoff at 10:00AM Eastern followed by a London derby in the form of Arsenal's trip down to Upton Park to face bottom of the table West Ham. Notably, Manchester City will have the opportunity to claim top spot in the league when they host Mick McCarthy's Wolves in a match where new acquisition Edin Dzeko looks set to make his City debut. Here's a quick look at potential lineups before football fans enjoy a Saturday with six Premier League matches.
