Doha – Qatar: This weekend, football fans across the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region will get live-action access to two of the English Premier Leagues’ most anticipated matches as Everton face off Arsenal and Tottenham squares up against Manchester City.
Saturday’s (February 4) Everton v Arsenal clash will be the fans’ first chance to judge how the Toffees new manager, Sean Dyche, who has replaced Frank Lampard, will direct his side as it faces up to a potential relegation battle for the second straight season. The Gunners, currently topping the League, are favourites to win the game, which will be streamed live from an anticipated packed Goodison Park Stadium in Liverpool. But pundits are expecting Everton, lying 19th in the league table, to put up a tremendous fight with a wave of home support encouraging them on.
Sunday sees two of the Premier League’s Big Six go head-to-head when Manchester City, which is chasing the Premier League title, clashes with Tottenham who are pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification. Pep Guardiola has a poor recent record against Spurs, having lost 4 of his last 5 Premier League meetings against them. However, Tottenham go into the game without manager Antonio Conte, who’s taking a leave of absence from first-team duties to recover from surgery.
