Here's what to look out for over the next seven days, with clubs in midweek FA Cup fifth-round action and another big weekend of Premier League action ahead, including a mouthwatering Manchester derby between Manchester City and Manchester United on Sunday.
Monday
Matchweek 26 finishes on Monday night with a London derby between West Ham United and Brentford at London Stadium, which kicks off at 20:00 GMT.
Brentford have won all five of their previous Premier League matches against West Ham, who will be hoping to avoid a fourth successive defeat without scoring for the first time since 2006.
Tuesday
There are four Premier League sides in FA Cup fifth-round action. First, AFC Bournemouth host Leicester City (19:30 GMT), while Newcastle United travel to Blackburn Rovers (19:45 GMT) and Luton Town welcome holders Man City to Kenilworth Road (20:00 GMT).

19:45 Bournemouth v Leicester
20:00 Luton v Man City
Wednesday
The FA Cup fifth-round action continues as Chelsea face Leeds United (19:30 GMT), before two all-Premier League ties as Nottingham Forest face Man Utd and Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Brighton & Hove Albion, both at 19:45 GMT. EFL Cup winners Liverpool are at home to Southampton (20:00 GMT).

The draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals will take place at 19:45 GMT.
The FA Cup ties will also be of interest to Fantasy Premier League managers, given that the quarter-finals take place on the same weekend as Matchweek 29 in the Premier League. There are currently only THREE confirmed fixtures taking place in Blank Gameweek 29 (BGW29).
Burnley v Brentford
Fulham v Spurs
West Ham v Aston Villa

Friday
The remaining Premier League managers will hold their press conferences, providing the latest team news. We will be running a live blog where you can follow all the updates as they happen.
Saturday
The FPL deadline for Gameweek 27 is at 13:30 GMT, with FPL managers needing to make their transfers and confirm their line-ups before then.
There are seven matches taking place, with Brentford v Chelsea one of six 15:00 GMT kick-offs before Luton entertain Aston Villa at 17:30 GMT.
Sunday
The action continues with two more fixtures, starting at Turf Moor as Burnley face Bournemouth at 13:00 GMT, before the standout fixture of the weekend takes place at the Etihad Stadium between Man City and Man Utd (15:30 GMT).
