It’s a massive English Premier League weekend in prospect with derbies left, right and centre between Saturday and Monday.
A mouthwatering Merseyside derby is the Monday night football climax, as Liverpool host Everton with much more than local bragging rights at stake.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds continue to tumble out of the European reckoning amid a thoroughly disjointed EPL season, losing three of their last four to start the weekend in tenth position, a whopping 11 points adrift of the top four.
The arrival of Sean Dyche across Stanley Park spurred the blue half of the city on to a stirring success over the league leaders last weekend, hoisting them off the bottom of the table ahead of their short trip to Anfield.
Sunday is lit up by another rival clash, as Leeds and Manchester United renew their cross-Pennine hostilities at Elland Road.
It forms part two of a double-header for the pair, who played out a dramatic 2-2 draw at Old Trafford only on Wednesday night, as the Yorkshire club began life without sacked American coach Jesse Marsch.
Reigning champions Manchester City are also pressed into Sunday service.
Pep Guardiola’s men are at home to Aston Villa, with the mission to start chewing into the gap at the top of the Premier League standings.
Saturday’s billings presents plenty more local animosity in the EPL, as London duo West Ham and Chelsea meet from either end of the Underground’s District Line at the former Olympic Stadium in the lunchtime kick off.
Blues chief Graham Potter comes into this one with a ridiculous number of January signings but no goals to show from his team’s last two outings, while David Moyes’ Hammers come into the round just a point and a place above the relegation zone, albeit with only one defeat in their last four.
Pacesetters Arsenal also face an all-capital city contest against overachievers Brentford.
The Gunners can extend their lead to eight points with victory at the Emirates Stadium, but come into the tie off the back of just their second loss of the campaign at Everton, while the visiting Bees are in spectacular form, sitting seventh in the pile.
It doesn’t end there in the Big Smoke either, with two more ties featuring the weird derby between Crystal Palace and Brighton at Selhurst Park.
A battle of the promoted teams, meanwhile, sees high-flying Fulham tackle Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.
Fourth-placed Newcastle set out to banish their draw habit as they make the long trip south for the Saturday evening fixture – and boss Eddie Howe’s latest reunion with old club Bournemouth.
Tottenham coach Antonio Conte is back in the technical area following his gallbladder surgery last week, retaking charge of his Spurs side away at Leicester.
And there’s more drama at the foot of the EPL table, as bottom club Southampton needs to rustle up a win from somewhere as improving Wolves head down to St Mary’s Stadium.
