It will not be the usual weekend for Premier League fans, as most fixtures will be postponed due to all the activity taking place in the FA Cup. Nonetheless, those games being played will be interesting enough to keep everyone focused on the battle for the top four and with games crucial in the relegation battle.
Six Premier League clubs will be involved in FA Cup matches, leaving only four fixtures to keep an eye on. The bright side for some of the teams not playing this weekend -like Arsenal- is that they will be able to rest some of their players before the international break and recover some of their injured footballers. Others, like Sheffield United, will be able to come up with a new strategy to save themselves from relegation with only ten games left for them in this season.
Speaking of those who will be playing, Tottenham, West Ham and Aston Villa could be the big winners of this unusual weekend, as all of them could get closer to securing their place in European competitions. In fact, Sunday's game between the Villains and the Hammers could be one of the best games this season.
Here are the main things to keep in mind ahead of this weekend's matches in the Premier League.
