Key Premier League matchups to look forward to – First of the 17-day countdown
Sheffield United vs. Tottenham
Sheffield ahead of Spurs by a measly two points. Another matchup between teams aiming for European football. With Sheffield having back-to-back key matchups, their results will likely determine where they end up on the table. As for Tottenham, they were slowly finding their way back after a poor start to the season.
Man City vs. Liverpool
For the past few seasons, this has been the best matchup. The top two teams going at it for the biggest honour in English football. This match is big for both teams to win. If Liverpool has not won the league by this point, they would definitely try to do it on this day and during this fixture.
Man City would want to make sure they do not drop to third in the league, with Leicester hot on their tail. In return, they don’t want the Reds to pull the double over them this season.

Arsenal vs. Leicester City
By this point, Arsenal would be trying to do all they can to get the Europa League spot. Them not getting into a European position would not entice big profile players to come Arsenal’s way.
Leceister would try to catch Man City and make sure to not slide down to the fourth. The Foxes are favourites because of their comfortable stance in the league standings, giving them the freedom to play their football on Emirates soil.
Sheffield United vs. Wolves
This matchup is crucial for both the Wolves and Sheffield United. They are level on points and are both trying to catch Man United for the final Champions League spot, as well as Chelsea who has kept it away from the rest of the league for a large part of the campaign. As one of the tightest races in the league, both teams would put on a great show when they face off.
Sheffield United vs. Chelsea
Only five points behind Chelsea, Sheffield would be giving it their best opportunity to snatch the Champions League spot from both big-six favourites who are ahead of them. Chelsea, on the other hand, would try to distance themselves from the Red Devils, who are within touching distancing in a time they must keep social distancing.
