Featuring the London derby, MatchDay 24 games played on Tuesday featured a number of interesting results. Despite playing three-quarters of the game with 10 men, Arsenal stole a point from Stamford Bridge. Of the six games played, both teams scored in four of them, with Southampton and Manchester City keeping clean sheets.
Of the four games left before the FA Cup weekend, the one between Wolves and Liverpool is the most anticipated one.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s men are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for a first Premier League title.
Thirty points separate both sides going into this fixture. But that’s just one of the many differences between both sides of this campaign.
