Premier League teams head into Gameweek 23 of the 2023/24 season knowing the weekend’s results could have a huge effect on the season’s run-in.
Sunday sees title contenders Arsenal and Liverpool duke it out at the Emirates Stadium, with Manchester City lurking behind a day later hoping to take advantage when they visit Brentford.
Before then, however, Tottenham will take on Everton in Saturday’s early kick-off, with relegation contenders Burnley, Luton Town and Sheffield United all in action.
Here’s how 90min sees Gameweek 23 playing out.
Saturday 3 February
Gameweek 23 begins with an enticing offering from Goodison Park where Everton host Tottenham. The Toffees are winless in five league fixtures, with Spurs hopeful of going level on points with Arsenal with a victory.
Brighton and Crystal Palace partake in the ‘M23 derby’ – just don’t call it that in front of any fans – in one of three 15:00 GMT kick-offs. The Seagulls’ inconsistency was highlighted by a shocking 4-0 defeat to Luton last time out, while Roy Hodgson got a much-needed three points when his side edged Sheffield United 3-2 at Selhurst Park.
With games against Liverpool and Arsenal on the horizon, Burnley could do with a quick response to their loss at Manchester City when Fulham arrive at Kenilworth Road. The Clarets are eight points from safety, while the Cottagers are winless in their last five matches in all competitions.
Newcastle United defied the form charts with just their second away league win of the campaign as they breached the fortress of Villa Park. The Magpies are now tasked with earning back-to-back top-flight victories for the first time since December against a Luton Town side unbeaten in their last five outings.
Saturday evening’s Premier League offering comes live from Bramall Lane as Chris Wilder seeks just a second league win since returning as Sheffield United manager. Proceedings won’t be easy against Aston Villa, who dropped out of the top four after their defeat to Newcastle.
