THIS weekend is a special one. Not just because there is a raft of exciting football scheduled for all levels of the pyramid.
From the mouth-watering clashes Arsenal vs Manchester United and Liverpool vs Aston Villa on Sunday, following on from Brighton vs Newcastle and Manchester City vs Fulham on Saturday, to name but four matches in the Premier League.
