The Big Friday Premier League Quiz

Arsenal can make English football history this weekend when the Premier League leaders face Sean Dyche’s Everton.

A Gunners victory in their 203rd league game against Everton would be their 100th in the rivalry, making them the first team in the English leagues to complete a century of wins against a specific opponent.

More importantly for now, it would keep Mikel Arteta’s side well clear of second-placed Manchester City, who head to Tottenham and have lost their last three away league games against Spurs by an alarming 5-0 aggregate margin.

Liverpool have won on each of their last six league trips to Wolves, so Jurgen Klopp will hope that run continues, while Manchester United host Crystal Palace, having drawn with the Eagles at Selhurst Park only a fortnight ago.
