Key Premier League Fixtures to Watch Out For
As we approach
what’s fondly referred to as the ‘business end’ of the Premier League season, a
number of key fixtures stand out on the weekly schedules. With Chelsea
seemingly unstoppable at the summit, just four points separating the chasing
pack and champions Leicester fighting to avoid relegation, there’s plenty of
excitement still to be had in the world’s most competitive football league.
Let’s take a
look at the crunch fixtures which could define the season. Don’t forget to set

The Manchester Derby
It’s Jose vs Pep
for the second time this season, and there’s plenty at stake for the old
sparring partners. With Manchester United on a run that has seen them avoid
defeat since October, and Manchester City rediscovering stunning form after a
winter blip, this fixture is set to be a cracker – and it could end up deciding
which of the Manchester rivals gets to enjoy Champions League football next
season. This fixture is currently postponed while Manchester United play in the
EFL Cup Final – set up notifications using sports reminder app SportApp to ensure you don’t miss this crucial match.
Liverpool vs Arsenal – 4th
March
The race for the
top four is hotting up, and this match could be vital. Both Liverpool and
Arsenal looked at one point as though they could be genuine contenders for the
title, but Arsenal’s annual post-Christmas capitulation and Liverpool’s
defensive injury issues have seen them dragged into the fight for Champions
League places. The reverse fixtures at the Emirates was a cracker, ending 3-4
to Liverpool – will Arsenal get revenge at Anfield?
Chelsea vs Man City – 5th
April
Can Chelsea be
stopped? As they hurtle towards a first title under new manager Antonio Conte, there
are just a few teams which stand a chance of taking points off the
champions-elect. Manchester City are one of them. They may even have the title
wrapped up by the time they welcome City at the beginning of April. With
Guardiola’s free-flowing philosophy and Conte’s defensive solidity, which team
will come out on top? Be sure to set up your reminders ahead of time, to avoid
missing this end-of-the-season show-stopper with SportApp, the football
reminder app.
Hull vs Sunderland – 6th
May
Hull have
enjoyed a renaissance under new manager Marco Silva, but don’t underestimate
Sunderland, who have proven they can knock plenty of goals past teams on their
day. This game could end up deciding which of the two finishes the season in
the relegation zone – and the knock-on effect of that could decide the future
of players like Jermaine Defoe and Tom Huddlestone, both of whom have had
excellent seasons. Don’t miss this bottom-of-the-table clash with SportApp, the
sports reminder app.
Spurs vs Manchester United – 13th May
This game falls in the penultimate weekend
of the season. The final position of the teams in the top four may already have
been decided by this point – or it could still be all to play for. Spurs have
one of the best defensive records in the league, and Manchester United have an
epic unbeaten run. A draw would undoubtedly suit the surrounding teams, but
both teams will be walking out at White Hart Lane to win.
