The Premier League Big Six head-to-head table

Mikel Arteta reacts on the sideline

Big Six clashes aren’t the be-all and end-all; points are points. But defeating your direct rivals is, let’s face it, more important. We’ve still got some crucial top of the table clashes to come – the north London derby is looking particularly tasty – but we thought we would jump the gun and look at the Big Six table as things stand.

Were the season to stop now, and were it actually a six-team league, Manchester United would have qualified for the Champions League – congratulations, guys – with Arsenal rock bottom…
