Man City To Go Back On Top

For the second time in a week there's a full Premier League programme on the same day.

These are the reverse fixtures from not that long ago and so rivalries will be fresh in the memory.

The Match of the Day is the meeting of Manchester United and Spurs in the 5.30 kick off at Old Trafford.

United have been running up a head of steam of late and this is the first real test of Tim Sherwood's new look Spurs with a double pronged strikeforce.

Manchester City should sit on top of the League for a few hours anyway.

The Sky Blues are in Wales to play a Swansea City side which has flattered to deceive this season.

This one's the early start at 12.45.

Tabletoppers Arsenal are also up against Welsh opposition as they bring a troubled Cardiff City to the Emirates.

Former Bluebird Aaron Ramsey excelled in the first meeting and is expected to turn it on again.

Chelsea are running through the gears and could heap more misery on a decent Southampton side which have had to put up with a dreadful run of tough fixtures.

Everton have surprised many with their excellent form this season but may come up against a stumbling block in Stoke City at the Britannia.

Revenge is the key word for Liverpool at Anfield against Hull City.

Not only do they need to get back on track after away defeats at Man City and Chelsea but they need to atone for that shock 3-1 loss at Hull four weeks ago.

Elsewhere there's a real six pointer at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace take on Norwich City - equally at Fulham where West Ham are the visitors - Sunderland bring Aston Villa to the Stadium of Light and it's West Brom against Newcastle Utd at the Hawthorns.

There's also a full set of matches in the Championship including leaders Leicester at Millwall.

And in the Scottish Premiership it's a Glasgow derby with Celtic taking on Partick Thistle at Parkhead.
