The Big Friday Premier League Quiz

Manchester City’s midweek win at Arsenal turned the title picture on its head in the Premier League, but there is plenty of time left for it all to change again.

The same is true of the European chase and the relegation battle, with this weekend providing intriguing fixtures at both ends of the table.

Can Newcastle United check Liverpool’s momentum after a much-needed Merseyside derby win? Will Everton respond to that defeat when they face Leeds United?

Ahead of those matches and more, Stats Perform has five quiz questions relating to the teams in action over the coming days.

1. Unai Emery will face Arsenal in the Premier League for the first time on Saturday. This will be the Gunners’ 10th Premier League match against one of their former managers, with the previous nine all against the same man. Who was it?
