The 2021-22 Premier League season rolls on, this time with an early kick-off as Arsenal and Aston Villa meet at Emirates Stadium on Friday.
The rare Friday night football fixture follows the Gunners' 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Monday, giving the north Londoners a short turnaround to prepare for the team directly below them in the standings (the teams enter Matchday 9 in 12th and 13th, respectively).
Of course, Arsenal won't be the only team playing on short rest as several sides were active in Europe earlier in the week. Among them are Chelsea, which pummeled Malmo in the Champions League on Wednesday, and face cellar-dwellers Norwich City in the early Saturday (mis)match.
Two other teams featured in Europe midweek are Manchester United and Liverpool, each claiming a dramatic 3-2 victory in their respective games. Now the rivals come together for the marquee match of the weekend, with Liverpool eyeing first place while United urgently needs a win to avoid losing more ground in the title chase.
Here's the full schedule for Matchday 9 of the Premier League season, plus how to watch every game live.
