As you know, today the 22nd round of the English Premier League officially kicks off. The biggest highlight for fans is, of course, the Manchester derby: Manchester United and Manchester City go head-to-head. But today’s schedule isn’t only about the derby — there’s plenty of intrigue in London, on Merseyside, and at other grounds too.
Below is the list of fixtures and kick-off times:
17:30: "Manchester United" - "Manchester City"
20:00: "Chelsea" - "Brentford"
20:00: "Leeds" - "Fulham"
20:00: "Liverpool" - "Burnley"
20:00: "Sunderland" - "Crystal Palace"
20:00: "Tottenham" - "West Ham"
22:30: "Nottingham Forest" - "Arsenal"
It is reported that the remaining three matches of the round will be played on Sunday. So the intrigue of Matchweek 22 is split evenly across two days — some will celebrate today, others tomorrow.
Recall that ahead of this round, Arsenal top the table. The London side are six points clear of Guardiola’s Manchester City and Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. Fourth-placed Liverpool have 35 points.
In short, today on the pitches, “every minute is a storyline.” The derby, the battle for the top spots, and the race for European places — everything is packed into one day.
