The big Friday Premier League quiz

Liverpool will be looking to maintain their six-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League this weekend when they head to Aston Villa.

The Reds have won all but one of their 10 games this term and are unbeaten in their past 27 in the competition, four short of their record top-flight run between May 1987 and March 1988.

Reigning champions City are in action at the same time as Liverpool with a home match against Southampton, who they have beaten in five successive league encounters.

Chelsea travel to winless Watford, and Wolves are out to claim another ‘big-six’ scalp when they head to Arsenal in a weekend of bumper Premier League action.

While you wait for the football to get started, why not test out your knowledge with this week’s Opta-powered big Friday Premier League quiz?
