Saturday Open Thread: Pre- and Post-Match Edition

Liverpool get going soon enough, but the day's early kickoff in the Premier League is worth getting up for. Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea (12:45PM GMT/8:45AM EST), and depending on the outcome, it's possible that Liverpool could stand alone in first place at the end of the day Wednesday if Arsenal don't concede four goals in the first half again but that's not going to happen now is it?

Now that you've regained consciousness, there's also Manchester United's visit to West Ham to follow after Liverpool's match is done (5:30PM GMT/1:30PM EST), with United carrying the momentum from their famous win over Olympiacos into a 1-1 draw. Bayern can clinch the Bundesliga title as long as other results go their way, and there's a few kickoffs in La Liga and Serie A worth following to go along with the usual action in the lower leagues and later in the day in MLS.
