It’s another crunch weekend in the English Premier League, as teams jostle for position at both ends of the table ahead of the all-important run in.
Fans of goals need look no further than Saturday night’s fixture under the lights at the Emirates Stadium, as Arsenal go up against Newcastle.
The pair have rattled in 111 EPL goals between them so far this season.
And the Gunners have notched a staggering 21 in their last five, which has seen them snaffle a maximum, 15-point haul.
It could be the Toon Army’s decidedly leakier defence that proves the difference, then, as Eddie Howe and Co attempt to keep the European qualification show on the road for a second consecutive campaign.
Reigning champions Manchester City can keep the heat on leaders Liverpool at the top of the Premier League when they travel to Bournemouth for the Saturday evening kick off.
Pep Guardiola’s side squeezed to a home victory in midweek, meaning they can go within a point of Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, who aren’t in action.
Manchester United have defied the doubters in recent weeks, winning four on the spin amid confirmation of a takeover by Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Talk of building a ‘Wembley Stadium for the north’ will have to wait for now, as inconsistent Fulham arrive at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
The Red Devils have traded fortunes with former boss David Moyes and his increasingly sorry West Ham, who face Brentford in a London derby of sorts on Monday night.
Three straight losses have sent the Hammers tumbling out of the top six picture, while the Bees are only five points above the relegation zone.
Sunday’s sole EPL match sees Sheffield United go to Wolves.
And the good news for Chris Wilder is that they’re away from home, after successive 0-5 beatings were doled out to his Blades at Bramall Lane.
Elsewhere on Saturday there’s an opportunity for Aston Villa to secure their top three berth when they host Nottingham Forest.
Unai Emery’s side are in patchy form but have won two of their last three, while Forest ended a long winless run last weekend to take the edge off their relegation angst.
There’s plenty of that stress for Everton, too, who face an unenviable trip to Brighton.
Sean Dyche’s side just can’t buy a win at the moment, leaving themselves outside the drop zone on goal difference alone thanks to their 10-point deduction.
Crystal Palace and Burnley also meet for a relegation six-pointer at Selhurst Park.
It’s a start to south London life for coach Oliver Glasner, who replaced veteran Roy Hodgson in the week following a health scare for the ex-England boss.
The Clarets need points very quickly if they are to start chipping away at the seven-point barrier between themselves and sanctuary.
