Football fans in UK are looking forward to the Manchester derby between rivals Manchester United and Manchester City at the Old Trafford on Sunday.
Home team Manchester United, who are third with 62 points, are only one point ahead of Manchester City and neither team wants to drift away from the top of the league.
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw may be ineligible due to injury while his centre-back teammate, Jonny Evans, will be missing as he is suspended.
Manchester City have no suspended or injured players for the derby, which kicks off at 1600 GMT on Sunday.
Manchester United are on good form as the Red Devils won their last five matches in the league, while Manchester City are having an unsteady season since they lost three league matches out of the last five games, but managed to win the rest.
The last derby between the sides was played in City's home, Etihad Stadium, in November, when Man City won the clash 1-0 after Sergio Aguero found the net.
Manchester United lost their last four derbies against Manchester City in the Premier League, so the Red Devils will want to end their ill-fated run in the match as well.
Manchester United last toppled their Man City opponents in December, 2012.
The Red Devils edged out their rivals 3-2 at Etihad Stadium in a Premier League showdown.
Being in the second spot with 63 points, London team Arsenal will play away to Burnley on Saturday, with the game at Turf Moor starting at 1730 GMT.
The Gunners' regulars, Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, French centre-back Laurent Koscielny and English winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will probably miss the game because of injuries.
Leaders Chelsea will be hosted by Queens Park Rangers on Sunday. The match at QPR's home, Loftus Road Stadium will begin at 1330 GMT.
Chelsea, a.k.a. The Blues, will be out in force against QPR.
