It’s another action packed weekend in the English Premier League, as the second half of the top flight season hits full swing.
And what a fixture to headline it on Sunday.
EPL leaders Liverpool go to third-placed Arsenal for a massive contest at the Emirates Stadium, as legendary boss Jurgen Klopp hits the road on his farewell tour before his summer exit.
Odds are shortening on him going out with a second Premier League trophy, too, as the Reds come into the weekend five points clear at the top of the table and having won four in a row, albeit with the Gunners pushing hard.
Manchester City are squeezed between the pair in second, ahead of their Monday night match at Brentford.
Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions have matched Liverpool’s quartet of consecutive victories, as the title race hots up.
There’s also a battle for Europe in the red half of Manchester on Sunday, as United go up against former boss David Moyes and his West Ham.
Erik Ten Hag’s Red Devils are a point behind the sixth-placed Hammers thanks to a thrilling Thursday night win on the road, while the visitors have drawn three on the spin.
Wolves were the victims of United’s late show at Molineux and now go to Chelsea in a bid to start a long unbeaten run all over again.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men were beaten out of sight at Anfield in midweek, leaving them just two points above the visitors to Stamford Bridge.
The Premier League weekend kicks off on Saturday lunchtime at Goodison Park, with the clash between Everton and Tottenham.
Relegation remains a live concern for the Toffees who can’t buy a win at the moment, while Spurs are sitting pretty in fourth having sneaked a comeback victory at home to Brentford in the week.
A trio of three o’clock kick offs are then headlined by the slightly odd derby between Brighton and Crystal Palace.
The rivals meet at the Amex Stadium with Eagles boss Roy Hodgson looking a touch more secure after two wins in three, while the Seagulls need a boost to reignite their charge for continental football next season.
Newcastle ended their miserable losing run with a fine performance last time out.
But the Toon Army will need to be on their mettle when they welcome to St James’ Park a Luton side that has defied their underdog status to scramble out of the drop zone.
The Hatters’ fine form has helped to cut Burnley adrift ahead of the Clarets’ game at home to Fulham.
It’s a tie that must be marked ‘winnable’ by Vincent Kompany and Co, with the Cottagers not entirely confident of their EPL future either.
Saturday’s late kick off, meanwhile, pits bottom side Sheffield United against Aston Villa.
Unai Emery’s men need all three points to keep the heat on the top four, while Chris Wilder is desperate for a win after returning to Bramall Lane with the Blades freefalling back towards the Championship.
