The Premier League’s top four are all in FA Cup action this weekend, but that does not mean we’re in for a lack of top-flight intrigue.
Arsenal, winners in the north London derby last time out, visit fifth-placed West Ham knowing a win might just keep their hopes alive of catching Chelsea in fourth.
Tottenham will hope to respond to last week’s setback against an Aston Villa side who have only won four games in 2021 and are at risk of dropping out of European contention.
At the other end of the table, Fulham will be looking to take another step towards an unlikely escape from relegation against Leeds United, with a potentially crucial clash between Brighton and Hove Albion and Newcastle United to follow.
And if you needed any extra excitement, why not kick off the weekend with our Opta-powered quiz? Answers are below – no cheating!
