Things are heating up ahead of the January transfer window, with several top Premier League sides in desperate need of reinforcements despite the historic difficulties of getting deals done this winter.
Manchester City's dire form surely provides serious room for movement at the Etihad Stadium, while Manchester United will also want to increase their chances of a positive second half of the season under Ruben Amorim.
Meanwhile, a bottom-of-the-table scramble can never be ruled out, with a threat of relegation looming for a group of top-flight teams.

Arsenal consider another Martin Odegaard
Arsenal are interested in Argentina international Nico Paz, according to Tuttosport.
Gunners scouts are closely monitoring the 20-year-old, who has two goals and three assists for Serie A side Como this season.
The last time Arsenal signed an attacking midfielder from Real Madrid (Martin Odegaard), things could hardly have gone better.
Paz technically belongs to Como, but Real have a cheap buyout on him that should be activated at the end of the season.
Manchester United are also said to be monitoring Paz, with Inter Milan among their other admirers.
Man Utd pursue championship goal
Manchester United have their eye on the second tier as they search for a new backup goalkeeper.
According to The Sun, Leeds stopper Illan Meslier is admired by Red Devils scout Tony Coton, who is closely following his progress.
United want another keeper to challenge Andre Onana, with current No.2 Altay Bayindir having failed to cut the mustard.
Meslier, 24, has made 22 league appearances this season and Leeds are currently in an automatic promotion place.
United are also believed to be tracking Botafogo goalkeeper John.
