THIS weekend offers a mixed programme of Premier League and FA Cup action. League leaders Chelsea are the only top four team in league action this week and that gives them the chance to extend the gap at the top of the table to seven points.

Liverpool have a week off, while Arsenal and ManCity are both in action in the FA Cup. Both are at home but City have the easier task, against Championship side Wigan, in a re-run of last season's final. City will see their game as an opportunity to avenge last season's defeat and take a step towards another trophy.
