The weekend sees Premier League title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool clash again, this time in the FA Cup semi-finals.
After the pulsating 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium last Sunday left the title race wide open, it's a one-off with the victors playing for silverware next month against the winners of Sunday's other semi-final between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
Mixed in with the two glamour ties is some important Premier League business. Tottenham get that action underway against Brighton in Saturday's early kick-off. And while City and Liverpool recommence their rivalry, other league matches will be fought out between Manchester United and Norwich City, Southampton v Arsenal and Watford against Brentford.
Sunday starts with the Premier League, with Newcastle United up against Leicester City and West Ham hosting Burnley. The FA Cup match between Chelsea and Palace brings the weekend's proceedings to a close.

Children who witnessed blood bath want to help others
Aged just 11, Khulood Al Najjar’s daughter, Nora, bravely attempted to fight off Philip Spence. Her finger was injured when she put her hand in between the claw hammer and her mother’s head.
As a vital witness, she was forced to relive the ordeal by police who needed to identify the attacker and ensure he was found guilty.
Now aged 16, Nora has decided she wants to dedicate her career to helping other victims of crime.
“It was very horrible for her. She saw her mum, dying, just next to her eyes. But now she just wants to go forward,” said Khulood, speaking about how her eldest daughter was dealing with the trauma of the incident five years ago. “She is saying, 'mama, I want to be a lawyer, I want to help people achieve justice'.”
Khulood’s youngest daughter, Fatima, was seven at the time of the attack and attempted to help paramedics responding to the incident.
“Now she wants to be a maxillofacial doctor,” Khulood said. “She said to me ‘it is because a maxillofacial doctor returned your face, mama’. Now she wants to help people see themselves in the mirror again.”
Khulood’s son, Saeed, was nine in 2014 and slept through the attack. While he did not witness the trauma, this made it more difficult for him to understand what had happened. He has ambitions to become an engineer.
