A lot has happened in the past seven days.

There was the announcement of a new European Super League, involving Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool on Sunday… then the announcement the six Premier League teams had pulled out of the controversial competition two days later.

Now, the focus is fully on a weekend of Premier League action on the pitch. With runaway leaders City facing Spurs in the EFL Cup final, the Red Devils’ meeting with rivals Leeds United stands out as a marquee fixture, while Chelsea have a London derby against West Ham that has huge ramifications in the top-four race.

But ahead of the action, why not take in a normal dose of reality with our weekly Opta-powered Friday quiz? Find the answers below.

1. Newcastle have won just one of their 25 Premier League away games against reigning champions (D7 L17), losing the past five in a row by an aggregate score of 20-3. What was the score the last time they won such a fixture against Manchester United in December 2013?
