The Big Friday Premier League Quiz

The Premier League plays out its penultimate round before the mid-season break for the Qatar 2022 World Cup comes into view this weekend.

League leaders Arsenal will head to Chelsea for a London derby, with the Blues hoping to buck a three-game winless run against Mikel Arteta’s men.

Champions Manchester City meanwhile will welcome Fulham, as Pep Guardiola’s side look to keep the heat up on the Gunners at the summit. The Cottagers last won at the Etihad Stadium in 2009.

Liverpool will hope they can take a positive turn in a wildly inconsistent campaign against Tottenham, with Spurs hoping to notch a first victory over the Reds since 2017, while Manchester United travel to Aston Villa and Leeds United welcome Bournemouth.
