Because of the Club World Cup, one match (City-Brentford) is postponed. TBD as to when the Bournemouth-Luton match will be finished, if it will be. Now to the actual games. The jewel of the weekend is likely the top 3 matchup as Arsenal heads to Anfield. We also get a United derby, when West Ham hosts the Red Devils. Tottenham also faces a tricky challenge with Everton coming to town riding a hot streak.

Hopefully Arsenal's lack of finishing over the last few weeks has just been them saving goals for the Liverpool match.

With all the players Spurs will miss, Everton's form and the way they set up, I can foresee a very frustrating game.

Everton does have a match today in the quarterfinals against Fulham. Very curious to see who’s playing in each match they have

Man, another game v Palace where we look the better team and come away with a point a piece.

Palace keeps most games close and gets a lot of draws. They'd probably have a few more wins as well except they keep giving up late goals.

Villa player is obviously holding the keepers arm and it's a foul.

However, based on explicit VAR protocols, it's in a previous phase of play and thus VAR *cannot* intervene in it by rule.

I can understand them reversing it because you don't want those to stand, but it's actually an incorrect application of VAR.

Saw the replay at half and yea that's a pretty obvious pen. VAR failed to do their job.

yeah. if the guy who shoves Watkins is the one who gets the header, that should be a foul.

saw the hold and it's clearly a foul but then Sheffield gain possession and lose it.
