The Big Friday Premier League Quiz

Arsenal held on to top spot in the Premier League after their thrilling 3-2 win over Liverpool last Sunday, with Manchester City staying in hot pursuit.

The Gunners have won five of their past six league games against Leeds United (D1), who are this weekend’s opponents, and are on a streak of three wins in a row against the Whites, one short of matching their best such streak, a run of four from November 1936 to April 1938.

Pep Guardiola’s City make the short journey on Sunday to face a Liverpool side whose title hopes are perhaps already shot, though an Anfield win for the Reds could change the picture slightly.

Manchester United and Newcastle United have contended classic games in the past, and they go head-to-head at Old Trafford, also on Sunday.
