Back in England, gameweek 23 of the Premier League will be played midweek, following the FA Cup games over the weekend. Arsenal’s dramatic win over Burnley last week will hopefully serve as a huge confidence booster as Arsene Wenger’s side look to close the gap on Chelsea. The Gunners will take on struggling Watford at the Emirates, in the hopes of recording their third straight victory.

Tottenham will travel to lowly Sunderland as they look to get back to winning ways, after sharing the points at the Etihad last week.

Manchester City have won only one of their last four games and have dropped down to fifth in the league. They will visit a rejuvenated West Ham side that have now climbed into the top half of the table. Manchester United will host Hull City in the two clubs’ third meeting, this month alone.

But the biggest fixture takes place as league leaders Chelsea travel to Merseyside to face Liverpool in a crunch tie. Jurgen Klopp’s team beat the Blues in the reverse fixture but have failed to win any matches at Anfield in 2017.
