Today's big Premier League match
Tottenham vs Liverpool: By the time this game kicks off, Liverpool could be second in the EPL. That will raise the pressure on Arne Slot's side, who have drawn two league games in a row ahead of this trip to Tottenham, a team from whom you never know what you are going to get.
Spurs edged a topsy-turvy EFL Cup tie on Thursday, beating Man Utd 4-3. Ange Postecoglou never changes his approach, so expect the hosts to attack Liverpool in what looks set to be an end-to-end encounter.
What else should I know about the Premier League?
The Premier League (EPL) is the top tier of English football, established in 1992 after clubs broke away from the Football League First Division. It is widely regarded as the most-watched and lucrative football leagues in the world. It reaches 920 million homes in 189 countries.
The season runs from August to May. The league consists of 20 clubs, with each team playing 38 matches; two against each other team, one home and one away. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.
The team with the most points at the end of the season is crowned champions. The teams who finish in the bottom three of the Premier League table, are relegated to the Championship – English football's second tier.
The fixtures for the 24/25 season were released on June 18, 2024 and are listed on the official Premier League fixtures page. The schedule is compiled by a computer. In every five-game sequence there must be no more than three home games per team. Clubs are usually paired with their local rivals to avoid, say, Man City and Man Utd both playing at home on the same weekend.
Premier League matches are always subject to change, with TV companies often moving matches for live coverage.
When are the international breaks?
Premier League international breaks took place on September 1-9, October 6-14 and November 10-18, 2024 for England's Nations League campaign.
A further break is due to take place from March 20-25, 2025 to allow for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and UEFA Nations League quarter-finals.
When does the Premier League season end?
The final round of Premier League games will be played on Sunday, May 25. All matches will kick off at the same time.
