our of the top seven face off this weekend in a huge round of Premier League action.
The competition takes a winter break after this, meaning teams will be desperate to land a telling blow to leave them sitting pretty while enjoying a much-needed post-Christmas break.
The action kicked off on Friday night with Watford’s losing against Norwich before Manchester United host West Ham and Brentford face Wolves on Saturday. Leaders Manchester City travel to Southampton in the evening kick-off.
Sunday sees Liverpool head to Crystal Palace and Arsenal host Burnley after their Carabao Cup semi-final showdown, after which Tottenham face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the primetime kick-off.
Despite the break, this round technically features Burnley’s rearranged game against Watford at Turf Moor, on February 5 while the majority of other top-flight sides are in FA Cup action.
