Arsenal v Middlesbrough

Saturday evening’s live action comes from the Emirates when Middlesbrough travel to face Arsenal. The Gunners have been struggling of late in the Premier League with no wins in three but will fancy themselves against Gareth Southgate’s men who were unlucky not to get more than a point against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

Fulham v Everton

Sunday lunchtime brings together two sides desperate for a win for two entirely different reasons. Fulham are six points from safety at the wrong end of the table but the form of Jimmy Bullard may spark the Cottagers into life. Everton, on the other hand, need the three points for Champions League qualification and will hope to bounce back after their agonising exit from the UEFA Cup.




Man City v Tottenham

Manchester City and Tottenham go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon both looking to forget their last outing. Man City put in a disappointing performance last week at Reading while Tottenham will be still smarting from their UEFA Cup exit at the hands of PSV. This will be the third meeting of the two teams this season with Tottenham victorious in the reverse fixture as well as the League Cup encounter earlier this season.

Birmingham v Newcastle

Monday Night Football is your stereotypical “six pointer” when Newcastle travel to St Andrews to face fellow relegation threatened, Birmingham. Magpies boss Kevin Keegan continues to go in search of his first win against a Birmingham side whose recent home form has kept their survival hopes alive.
