Arsenal took advantage of their game in hand to pull five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, and now for the top two the Premier League title race is a straight fight to the finish.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal host second-bottom Bournemouth on Saturday, after City get the day under way when they tackle Newcastle United.

The standout game of the weekend is Liverpool’s home clash with EFL Cup winners Manchester United, as Jurgen Klopp’s Anfield side look to keep closing in on the Champions League places.

Can struggling Chelsea find a rare win on Saturday, or will Leeds United pour on more misery for Graham Potter?

Ahead of the fixtures, you can test your knowledge with our Opta-powered quiz. The answers are at the bottom.

2. Ollie Watkins is two goals away from becoming the first Aston Villa player to reach double figures in three consecutive top-flight campaigns since 2014-15. Who achieved the feat back then?
