We've picked the key on-field battles from the weekend's big Premier
League fixtures. The winners of these head-to-head battles will be
influential on their team recording a victory, but who do YOU think
will be the winners?!
Saturday 6th February 12:45 - Liverpool v Everton
Liverpool host the 213th Merseyside derby as they welcome Everton to Anfield in the Premier League.
The encounter is one of the most hotly anticipated in recent seasons with both sides finally conjuring up some form heading into the game, Liverpool are undefeated in six Premier League games and Everton in nine!
STEVEN GERRARD
adidas Predator X football boots
This is exactly the type of game when the Liverpool team turns to their inspirational captain. We haven't really seen Gerrard at his powerful best recently, but wearing the adidas Predator X football boots he benefits from the PowerSpine, so if he gets the chance to unleash a big shot Gerrard will be putting all his power into it.

MAROUANE FELLAINI

Fellaini will be called upon to get heavily involved in this derby game, he will be putting hiimself about the pitch trying to break up attacks and create for his team. To perform Fellaini will be wearing the Tiempo Legend football boots, which will be soft and comfortable over the course of the ninety minutes whilst offering excellent ball touch and feel.

Saturday 6th February 17:30 - Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa
Top four hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa go head-to-head in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification spot. There is little to choose between the two sides heading into the game, with Tottenham having lost only one of their last eight fixtures in the league and Villa winning three of their last four on the road.
JERMAIN DEFOE
adidas F50i football boots
Defoe has switched back into his silver/red F50i football boots, and was instantly rewarded with a hat-trick against Leeds. The F50i is a direct competitor to the Superfly, but will it be Defoe who is at his sharpest and fastest this weekend to help his team keep hold of that fourth spot?

GABRIEL AGBONLAHOR
Nike Vapor Superfly football boots
Agbonlahor has been in great form recently, and must surely be pushing for a place in England's World Cup squad. Coming up against Defoe is a battle Agbonlahor must win if he is to prove he is good enough for Capello. And wearing Superfly football boots he is certainly equipped to be at his fastest, because as we know he has got lightning pace.

Sunday 7th February 16:00 - Chelsea v Arsenal
Arsenal are hoping to get their Premier League title bid back on track as they travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea.
With a potential gap of nine points on offer for table-toppers Chelsea, while a win for the visitors would shorten the deficit to just three, both sides will be viewing this clash as a six-pointer in the title race.

FRANK LAMPARD
adidas adiPure III football boots
Lampard is a very similar player to Fabregas, a playmaker in midfield who can make late surging runs into the box to score. But, interestingly Lampard's boot choice is very different to Fabregas, as he opts for the all kangaroo leather adiPure III football boots, which give him natural comfort and feel for the ball.

CESC FABREGAS
Nike CTR369 Maestri football boots
Fabregas is the Premier League's top scoring midfielder this season with 11 goals, and if he wants to maintain that record he will have to outplay Lampard in the midfield battle. This season Fabregas has debuted and championed the CTR360 football boots, and in this battle he will have to make the most of the total ball control technology.
