Premier League: Five talking points ahead of the weekend's action

Everton welcome Champions League hopefuls Arsenal to Goodison Park on Sunday.

With the FA Cup semi-finals taking centre stage this weekend there are only a handful of Premier League games on the fixture list for Saturday and Sunday.

The pick of them comes on Sunday when Champions League-chasing Arsenal head north to face a rejuvenated Everton, who are hoping to build on back-to-back victories over Chelsea and West Ham.

Here Press Association Sport looks at five talking points for the weekend's games.

Can Arsenal prosper on the road?

With the four-way battle for the final two Champions League berths hotting up, it is Arsenal who have moved into pole position with seven wins from their last nine. They begin the weekend in fourth place, but Sunday's match against Everton is their game in hand on third-placed Tottenham, who are only one point above. However, in order to capitalise Arsenal must show they are over their inconsistency away from the Emirates, having won just five of 14 of their matches on the road.

Can Toffees find their sweet spot?

Relegation was confirmed with six games to spare, and looked inevitable for much longer, so Huddersfield at least have plenty of time to prepare for their return to the Championship. Ahead of Saturday's clash with Leicester, captain Christopher Schindler has told his colleagues they are all playing for their futures at the John Smith's Stadium, with manager Jan Siewart no doubt needing to make budget cuts once they drop down a division.
