Fans might be wondering why there aren't any Premier League games this weekend after an exciting round of games on Wednesday.
Why Are There No Premier League Games This Weekend? Mar. 1-2
The FA Cup resumes this weekend with the full slate of fifth round games taking place. The Football Association in England set specific weekends for the fifth round and quarterfinals, so there will be no Premier League games while those rounds take place.
As such, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea won't be in action this weekend as they were already knocked out of the tournament.
Fans will have to wait until next weekend to see what twists and turns arise in the title race.
