It promises to be a weekend of drama and emotion in the Premier League with two local derbies and the spectre of two tragedies that have helped shape modern football hanging over the weekend's action.

The derby that will have the biggest impact at the top of the table takes place at White Hart Lane as Arsenal and Spurs fight over vital European points as well as the all-important north London bragging rights. The other local showdown is at Goodison Park where Everton will unveil a memorial in honour of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster, almost 26 yers ago.
