Five things you need to know ahead of this weekend's Premier League action

This weekend is a big one for the Premier League, with Leicester City in with a chance of securing the Premier League title. Here are five things you need to know ahead of the weekend's Premier League action.

1) Leicester's big weekend

The maths is quite simple: if Leicester beat Manchester United, they will be Premier League Champions. They would become the first team to win a maiden English top flight title since Nottingham Forest in 1978.

2) Spurs vs Stamford Bridge

Tottenham travel to Chelsea and, to stay in the title race,will have to do something they haven't done since 1990: win at Stamford Bridge. Both teams were in Division 1 at that time, and since then have played each other 51 times in the league.

3) Liverpool's struggle

Liverpool could be left to wonder what might have been. The Reds have surrendered 19 points from winning positions in the league this season – more than any other team. They have, however, had success in the Europa League, reaching the semi-finals where they face Villarreal.

4) Aguero's fine form

Manchester City star, Sergio Aguero continues his fine form with goals in each of his last five league outings. Should he register against Southampton, he would have netted in six successive games for the first time.

5) Ozil's unfine form

Unlike Aguero, the creativity appears to have dried up for Arsenal's Mezut Ozil. The German has not registered an assist in his last eight league games, although he still holds a season record of 18.
