The Premier League has officially released its TV fixtures for the month of February, promising a series of thrilling matches that could significantly influence the title race. The schedule includes high-stakes games involving toptier teams like Manchester United and Liverpool.
Liverpool currently lead the Premier League table, four points ahead of second-placed Chelsea with a game in hand due to the postponement of their match against Everton because of Storm Darragh. However, as we approach the festive period, other clubs are gearing up for matches that could potentially shake up this ranking.
Arsenal's home match against Manchester City on February 2nd is one such fixture. If Arsenal can recover from their recent draw at Craven Cottage, this game could be a turning point in their title bid.
Intense battle expected in second half of the season
Meanwhile, despite Chelsea's impressive run of five consecutive league victories propelling them to second place, coach Enzo Maresca insists they're not title contenders yet. This claim will face scrutiny when Chelsea takes on West Ham and Brighton in backtoback live matches on Sky Sports in February.
At the other end of the table, Southampton, Wolves and Ipswich find themselves battling relegation after 15 games. With plenty more football left to play this season though, these teams have ample opportunity to turn things around starting with some crucial fixtures in February.
Manchester United fans have three televised fixtures to look forward to in February Crystal Palace (Feb 2), Tottenham (Feb 16) and Everton (Feb 22). Liverpool will take on Wolves on Feb 16 before facing off against City seven days later both games will be televised live.
