The big Friday Premier League quiz

Leicester host Liverpool as Tottenham go to Manchester City, so get set with our Opta-powered weekly Premier League quiz!

By Ben Spratt
Brendan Rodgers at Anfield

London, February 12: Two of the Premier League's leading sides host struggling big-hitters as the latest weekend of top-flight action kicks off on Saturday.

Leicester City, in third, are only one place above champions Liverpool but will face a Reds side enduring a dismal run of form, grateful perhaps to get away from Anfield where their fortunes have taken a drastic turn.

Later in the day, leaders Manchester City welcome Tottenham, who were tipped as title contenders earlier in the campaign but have lost four of their past five games in all competitions.

FIXTURES | RESULTS | POINTS TABLE

Those two fixtures headline another exciting round of fixtures, so why not prepare with our Opta-powered quiz?
