The first set of Premier League fixtures after the March international break will be played this weekend.
Chelsea’s clash with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday is obviously the standout match.
But before then, there will be key fixtures that affect both ends of the table and the fight for Europe.
So, which fixtures are we likely to see upsets?
1. Arsenal vs Bournemouth: This is the game that will set the tone for the rest of the weekend. Not only is it the early kick-off on Saturday, but victory for Arsenal will see them open a 12-point gap at the top of the table ahead of Manchester City. But Bournemouth are a potential banana peel for the Gunners, having won at the Emirates last season.
2. Liverpool vs Fulham: It is almost hard to believe that Arne Slot won the Premier League title in his first year. Liverpool’s title defence has been a shambles and they could be mathematically out of the race by the time they kick off against Fulham. The Reds are looking to bounce back from a 2-0 humbling in the hands of PSG in the Champions League in midweek. But the Cottagers could have other plans at Anfield.
3. Man Utd vs Leeds: Under Michael Carrick, United have maintained a perfect record at Old Trafford. But by Monday when they welcome Leeds United, they would have gone 24 days without playing. This means they would be rusty against Daniel Farke’s men, who last weekend booked a place in the FA Cup semi-final. Let’s not forget this will be a clash between two rivals, too.
