Leicester City vs Arsenal Preview:
Arsenal will be be aiming to put an end to their miserable run in the Premier League campaign when they visit King Power Stadium this weekend to lock horns with Leicester City today.
Leicester will be be heading into this tie after an agonising 2-0 defeat against Slavia Prague in their Round of 32 fixture of the UEFA Europa League. However, the Foxes have been mighty impressive in their league campaign this season and will be gunning to make a statement of intent on Sunday by bouncing back to winning ways.
Meanwhile, after a comeback victory against Benfica in their UEFA Europa League Round of 32 fixture, Arsenal will be hoping to maintain the rhythm for the upcoming games. More often than not, the Gunners have failed to find the element of consistency this term but will need to change that if they are to push for a European spot.
In the reverse fixture, Jamie Vardy’s sole strike was enough for the Foxes to beat the north London side at Emirates Stadium back in October.

James Maddison remains out with a hip problem and James Justin (knee), Dennis Praet (hamstring), Wesley Fofana (hamstring), Ayoze Perez (knee) and Wes Morgan (back) are all sidelined.
Arsenal should have a fully-fit squad to take to the King Power Stadium, but for one injured goalkeeper.

Chelsea vs Manchester United preview:
The Blockbuster clash in Matchweek 26 of the 2020/21 Premier League will come our way from Stamford Bridge on this evening as Chelsea get ready to renew their rivalries against Manchester United.
Following a turbulent period towards the end of Frank Lampard’s spell as manager, Chelsea have recovered well under new boss Thomas Tuchel, going unbeaten in each of their nine games under the German, winning seven of those, including a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League earlier in the week.
Currently fifth in the Premier League table, just two points below London rivals West Ham United in fourth, the Blues will be aiming to bag another victory on Sunday and enhance their chances of a top-four finish. However, things will be tricky against a Manchester United side that hasn’t lost a single away game in the league this season.
The Red Devils are unbeaten on the road in the league and head into Sunday’s game on the back of an impressive run of form that has seen them go unbeaten in eight games in all competitions, most recently playing out a goalless draw in the UEFA Europa League Round of 32 second leg against Real Sociedad.
The reverse fixture played at Old Trafford earlier in the season saw Chelsea and Manchester United share the spoils after a goalless stalemate.

Sheffield United vs Liverpool preview:
The Reds are still reeling from last weekend’s loss in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield. That 2-0 win for Everton was their first in an away derby since 1999.
Liverpool are currently sixth in the Premier League, with 40 points from 25 games so far. Everton or Aston Villa could still go above Liverpool with their games in hand.
However, to finish within the top four, Liverpool must start winning games immediately. They are currently five points off West Ham, who are in fourth place at the moment.
Sheffield United currently find themselves 14 points from safety and rooted to the bottom of the table. They have only 13 games to go, so it seems like an insurmountable task now for them to avoid Championship football next season.
It has been a season of everything that could go wrong actually going wrong for Chris Wilder’s side. In their last game, Sheffield United lost 1-0 to Fulham, with Ademola Lookman scoring the only goal of the match.

Sheffield United
John Egan, Jack O’Connell, Chris Basham and Jack Robinson are all injured, and that leaves Wilder ridiculously short of options at centre-back. Jayden Bogle is ruled out as well, as Sheffield United’s defensive injury crisis has begun to look a lot like Liverpool’s.
Sander Berge, Lys Mousset and Jack Rodwell are all ruled out as well.
Liverpool
Captain Jordan Henderson underwent surgery on an adductor injury, and is set to miss several weeks of action. James Milner and Fabinho haven’t yet returned to training, but Diogo Jota has. He could feature, if only from the bench. Ozan Kabak is expected to partner Nat Phillips in defence.
Alisson Becker lost his father to an accident in Brazil in midweek, but hasn’t traveled back to his homeland. Klopp was non-commital on whether Alisson would feature on Sunday night.
