There are another two matches in the Premier League prior to the second FA Cup semi-final taking place on Sunday and they are fixtures which are likely to have a dramatic effect on the bottom end of the table.
The games might be spread out a fair bit this weekend but that doesn’t mean that like all games this season they won’t be on TV in the UK. Both games are on and neither of them clash and will be finished before the Wembley showpiece so there is no reason not to enjoy them both!
Where to watch
Both matches will be shown live and in full on the Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League channels. The lead up to the action begins at 12.30 with the matches kicking off at 1.30pm and 4pm.

Arsenal vs Fulham (13.30)
The action begins at the Emirates Stadium with a local derby as Arsenal look to condemn Fulham closer to relegation. The Cottagers now sit seven points adrift of safety after watching on as Newcastle won on Saturday so their need for all three points here is huge.
A couple of weeks ago I would have said Fulham would stay up comfortably but they got within striking distance of Newcastle and in position to come out of the bottom three and then they have stalled since then. They have now lost their last four matches and only have one win in their last seven which isn’t exactly form which is going to launch the great escape. Arsenal have been written off plenty this season, that is a regular occurrence these days, but the only game they have lost in their last six was against Liverpool and they will be buoyed by a big win in Europe in midweek. I expect Arsenal to have what it takes to put paid to an overall disappointing Fulham side.
Manchester United vs Burnley (16.00)
The second match of the afternoon comes from Old Trafford where Manchester United will look to pull further away in the race for second place when they host a Burnley side who sit seven points above the drop zone and can all but secure another season of Premier League football with a win here.
United go into this match with four wins on the spin to their name. They haven’t always been convincing in that time but they are winning. That is something Burnley haven’t been doing and leading Newcastle last week and then losing does not bode well for them. They are scrappers and fighters though and are sure to make this tough for United, but you would expect the class of the Red Devils to come through in the end, although the prices reflect that.
