We will be in for another interesting weekend of games in the Premier League, even if the title race will not be as intense.
The weekend will not be complete due to Liverpool and Chelsea's involvement in the League Cup final, which will also see Arsenal and Leicester City having the weekend off. Either way, games featuring the under-fire Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United will give fans quite a bit to talk about.
One of the most interesting games taking place in the coming days will be the one between West Ham and Wolverhampton. Both teams are fighting for a spot in European competitions, and their clash this weekend could be decisive in their quest to play in Europe next season.
Here is how things look in the Premier League ahead of this weekend's round of matches.
Premier League Top 5 ahead of Matchday 27
Manchester City now have a three-point lead over Liverpool in the title race, but that could be extended this weekend due to Liverpool's League Cup game. Chelsea, way behind in the race, are third with 50 points, while Manchester United are fourth with 46. Any loss or draw for the Red Devils could see them being leapfrogged by Arsenal, who have two games in hand and are behind Rangnick's men with 45 points.
