Manish Bhasin looks ahead to the weekend's football fixtures, including crucial fixtures at both ends of the table and Sunday's north London derby between Spurs and Arsenal.

Manish Bhasin, Mark Lawrenson and Lee Dixon preview the weekend's football fixtures.

With the Champions League and UEFA Cup knockout stages beginning in late February, it's a hectic month for many of the major clubs. Chelsea are the only team among the big four to play at home this round - the Blues are looking to do the double over Hull after winning 3-0 on Humberside earlier in the season.

Portsmouth's Peter Crouch will be hoping to dent the title hopes of one of his former clubs, Liverpool, as the sides meet at Fratton Park. Arsenal visit Tottenham for the north London derby - Spurs fans have happy memories of the trip to Highbury in October when their team scored twice in the last two minutes to earn a 4-4 draw.

Champions Manchester United are also in action, paying a visit to West Ham, who have proved one of their bogey sides in recent years.

In the Championship, there is a Sheffield derby at Bramall Lane while promotion rivals Reading and Preston meet at the Madejski Stadium. League One's fixtures include high-flying MK Dons hosting struggling Crewe. It is also the fifth round of the Scottish Cup - can Forfar cause a major upset by beating Rangers?
