Really interesting game coming up at Wembley, with Spurs still in the title hunt and United resurgent since Skoljaer took over. The Red Devils have won their 5 games under the Norwegian, who has relied on Pogba as a linchpin while players like Lukaku, Rashford and even Alexis are playing like the start of the season never happened. For Spurs it's been a bit difficult, with injuries throwing obstacle after obstacle into Pochettino's plans, but somehow they are making do with Winks and Sissoko in the middle for now. The opening of the renovated White Hart Lane could be as close as 2-3 months away, so if they can manage to hang in there until then, we might be in for a great finish.

The early game has Arsenal going to the East End to take on West Ham, who haven't done too well against big sides at home this year, apart from a win against United in late September. Chelsea host Newcastle, and I think I can already hear the beeps from the Geordie buses backing up at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool are going to Brighton which can be tricky, as their Everton neighbors can attest from their late December loss there.

Real Madrid are showing the early optimism shown when Solari arrived was probably misplaced, and have to go to Real Betis who are only 4 pts behind them. Barcelona have a more than manageable game against Eibar
