Four fixtures you won’t want to miss this weekend

Among the fixtures you simply can’t miss this weekend is the hotly anticipated, first-ever top flight Wales derby between Cardiff City and Swansea City.

Arsenal v Liverpool (KO: Saturday, 17:30 UK time)

It’s first versus third here. Brendan Rodgers recently played down Liverpool’s title hopes, but a victory at the Emirates would provide a flicker of hope. They’ve actually caught Arsenal at a good time, as they’ve lost two of their last three games, both of them at home. What’s more, they’re undefeated in 16 of their last 17 matches in the league.

A blossoming Luis Suarez-Daniel Sturridge partnership would threaten to make it 17 undefeated. But Arsenal, despite their recent blips, are flying in the league and have a good record versus Liverpool. They’ve won seven of their last eight league games, and are undefeated in 15 of their last 16 home matches versus the Reds in all competitions. This will be an interesting match, one that would be pleasing on the eye, given the technical philosophies of both clubs.
