| Liverpool vs Southampton - Last time out | Southampton will travel to Anfield on Sunday to face Liverpool, in pursuit of three points to close the gap on West … 05-05-2017 |
Well hello Friday Night Football! West Ham and Spurs kick off this weekend’s action and Mauricio Pochettino’s men have the chance to close the gap at the top to just one point, with Chelsea having to wait until Monday to respond.
Away to the Hammers certainly won’t be easy - London derbies never are - but Chelsea won’t have it all their own way against a Boro team scrapping for their Premier League lives.
Sunday sees Arsenal host Manchester United in the weekend’s stand-out match, as the race for the top four and Champions League qualification gets ever more intense. Plus there’s the small matter of Wenger v Mourinho.
5 points: ‘Form goes out of the window in a local derby’ is repeated by Sky’s team at least a dozen times – clearly, they were not paying attention to last week’s north London Derby.
15 points: The match produces at least one red card, though the niggle on the pitch is nothing compared to the froideur between both sets of suits in the directors’ box.
25 points: Historians prove that the Jarrow Marchers walked a shorter distance than a fan’s walk from their seat in the London Stadium to Stratford tube station.
5 points: Both teams score at least twice in one of the games of the weekend at the Etihad Stadium.
15 points: In his post-match press conference, Sam Allardyce needs no prompting to remind Pep Guardiola that English football as put him in his place.

Manolo Gabbiadini got off to a blistering start following his January move to Southampton, and team-mate James Ward-Prowse backs him to return to his prolific form in the latest Fantasy Premier League Show.
Midfielder Ward-Prowse said Italian striker Gabbiadini, who netted four goals in his first three Premier League matches before picking up an injury, should be the first choice for Fantasy managers with back-to-back Double Gameweeks 36 and 37 to come.
Also in part one of the show, Mark Sutherns - joined by Jules Breach and James Richardson - explains why FPL players may be better off looking at defensive alternatives at Southampton, picks out a host of Arsenal talents for GW36 and explains why Gabriel Jesus could be Manchester City’s main man for the run-in.
In part two, Mark plays his Wildcard and includes a bargain-buy from Sunderland’s front line in his team for the final three Gameweeks, and he reveals the secret to getting the most value out of your squad.
Also, Swansea City’s cult FPL hero, Gylfi Sigurdsson, says fans are always telling him to get goals and assists for their Fantasy teams.
