The Gunners hold a four-point lead over second-placed Bournemouth, who travel to Manchester City, before their trip to Burnley.
Third-placed Tottenham Hotspur are only five points off the top but are aiming to end a three-game winless run at home when they host London rivals Chelsea.
AFP looks at three key fixtures of the weekend.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot badly needs his star names to get back on track, after being dumped out of the League Cup by Crystal Palace on Oct 29 to compound a miserable run for the Premier League champions.
Slot made his priorities clear by making 10 changes as Palace cruised to a 3-0 win at Anfield against a youthful Liverpool selection.
The Dutchman said he could not risk any more injuries to his key players, with the visit of Villa quickly followed by clashes against Real Madrid and City.
"I don’t think it is possible if you lose six out of seven that there is even more pressure," said Slot.
