10 MOUTH-WATERING FIXTURES 🤤 ⚽

Your Matchweek 26 preview and quiz Man City v Newcastle Saturday 4 March, 07:30 EST With just three goals scored across their seven Premier League matches in 2023 so far, Newcastle’s attack is misfiring ahead of their trip to Man City. Scoring has been an issue for Howe’s side, who have only registered more than a single effort in one of their last nine matches. This heaps greater pressure on Newcastle to maintain their outstanding defensive record, especially ahead of what is likely to be a testing encounter at the Etihad Stadium. Did you know? Following their 3-3 draw at St James' Park in August, Newcastle are looking to avoid defeat in both PL meetings with Man City for the first time since 2004/05 (W1 D1). Southampton v Leicester Saturday 4 March, 12:30 EST Southampton’s new manager Ruben Selles has reverted to a tactical approach that was long favoured by Ralph Hasenhuttl, the man who brought him to the club last summer. In both their 1-0 win at Chelsea and last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Leeds, Selles set Saints up in a familiar 4-2-2-2 formation. His predecessor Nathan Jones had flitted between a back three (for four matches) and a 4-2-3-1 (also for four matches), so Selles has immediately stamped his own identity on the team. Did you know? Southampton are looking to complete the league double over Leicester for the first time since 2007/08 in the Championship, while they last did so as a top-flight club in 1986/87. Liverpool v Man Utd Sunday 5 March, 11:30 EST World Cup winner Lisandro Martinez will relish the prospect of Manchester United's encounter against Liverpool on Sunday. The 25-year-old’s form is excellent coming into this crucial contest. Rugged, competitive, and full of defensive nous, Martinez has quickly become a popular figure at Old Trafford. Going toe-to-toe with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota, in a red-hot atmosphere, is a challenge he is likely to savour. Did you know? Man Utd have completed the PL double over Liverpool more than any other side (8), and are looking to do so for the first time since 2015/16 following their 2-1 win in August.
