The Big Friday Premier League Quiz

Arsenal are at last back in Premier League action this weekend, hoping to make inroads in the top-four battle amid some inconsistent results from their rivals.

Tottenham are in desperate need of a return to winning ways, but they will attempt to do so away to Manchester City, who are looking really quite imperious.

Liverpool will hope to take advantage of any City slip-up when they host Norwich City, while Leeds United and Manchester United renew their rivalry at Elland Road.

Why the focus on these four games? Well, they all feature prominently in our weekly Opta-powered quiz. The answers are at the bottom of the page – no peeking, now!

3 – Spurs have lost three consecutive games for the second time in the Premier League this season (also in September 2021 under Nuno); the first time they have had multiple losing streaks of 3+ games in a Premier League campaign since 2004-05 (also two). Fragile. pic.twitter.com/O9ROfeETDy

1. Brentford are looking to complete the double over Arsenal this season. Who were the last promoted side to do so in the Premier League?

2. Mohamed Salah is bidding to record 10 goals and assists in the same Premier League season for the third time. Only two non-English players have ever managed that before: Didier Drogba (also three times), and who else, who did so four times?

3. Tottenham have conceded at least twice in each of their past four league games. They last had a worse run from April to May 2003, when they let in two goals in six consecutive matches. Who was their manager?

4. Manchester United are the only team to score in all of their away games in this season’s Premier League. They have netted in 14 away matches in a row since a 0-0 draw with which side?

5. If Cristiano Ronaldo plays against Leeds United, it will be the longest gap for a player between appearances against the same side in Premier League history, with his last match against them coming on October 18, 2003. What was the score that day?

Back on track! Nobody gives up and there’s only one way to get back on track: hard work, team work, serious work. Everything else is just noise. Let’s go Devils!pic.twitter.com/u8sZzzJQn5
