This Premier League weekend includes 10 matches across Friday to Monday - and you can keep tabs on all the games across the BBC.

Manchester City are close behind leaders Arsenal and could go joint top with a game in hand if they beat Everton on Monday and the Gunners lose to Fulham on Saturday.

At the other end of the table, relegation strugglers Tottenham and West Ham will hope to earn vital points in their respective away fixtures at Aston Villa and Brentford to strengthen survival hopes.

Throughout the season, you can watch highlights from every game on Match of the Day, listen to all the talking points on Football Focus and keep across all the goals as they go in on Final Score.

Listen wherever you are in the UK via BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sounds app.

Live text commentary will also cover all of the weekend action, while digital highlights will be available on the BBC Sport website and app.
