Manchester City are going for an incredible 18th win in succession in all competitions when they visit Arsenal on Sunday, a remarkable record-breaking run.

They have established a ten-point lead in the Premier League, as all the challengers fail to find any consistency. With only 14 games remaining, it looks like Pep Guardiola will be strolling to another trophy.

After Wolves' 1-0 win over Leeds on Friday night, the Premier League action continues on Saturday with Chelsea's trip to Southampton, followed by Burnley v West Brom, a humdinger derby in Liverpool v Everton, and Fulham v Sheffield United.

On Sunday, West Ham take on Tottenham, and Aston Villa are up against Leicester City, before City's bid to extend their record. The day's events conclude with Manchester United against Newcastle.

The final game of this round is on Monday, when Brighton face Crystal Palace.
