The Premier League schedule is packed—with several key matches being played midweek—before the official Week 35 slate begins. Those games in hand include Thursday's derby between Manchester City and Manchester United, a match sure to have huge implications on the race to finish in the top four.
Speaking of derbies, hostilities will be renewed in north London when title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur host FA Cup finalists Arsenal at White Hart Lane on Sunday. Both teams need the points for different reasons.
League leaders Chelsea will have a keen eye on events at the Lane, particularly if Everton can upset the Blues earlier in the day at Goodison Park.
