We are now in the final few days of the summer transfer window and clubs across English football are running out of time to get their business done.

This weekend there will be a number of eye-catching Premier League ties involving London clubs including a London derby between Arsenal and Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea are at home to Leicester City, Crystal Palace head to the champions Manchester City and Brentford host Everton today while Sunday sees West Ham head to Aston Villa and Spurs are at Nottingham Forest.
