The Premier League Returns Exactly One Week Today

This time next week the Premier League will finally be back in our lives as Aston Villa and Sheffield United kick-off the first game after the mid-season break followed by a huge clash at the Etihad between champions Man City who host Mikel Arteta's 9th-placed Arsenal.

Despite only 92 Premier League fixtures remaining this season, there's still plenty to be decided at both ends of the table.

League leaders Liverpool are looking to end 30 years of hurt with their first ever Premier League trophy and could secure the title at local rivals Everton's Goodison Park if results go their way ahead of next Sunday evening's derby day clash.

At the bottom end of the table, there are still plenty of teams fighting for their survival and Aston Villa's first game back at home to Chris Willder's high-flying Sheffield United could prove pivotal in their task to avoid dropping back down into the second tier of English football in their first season back in the big time.

How long do you think Liverpool will be made to wait to lift the title and which three teams will be going down to the Championship next season? Let us know in the comments!
