Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton feature in Super Sunday triple bill

Super Sunday provides a triple bill of Premier League action featuring massive games for Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton, after six matches on Saturday which will help to shape the title race and battle to avoid relegation. Liverpool are currently two points clear at the top ahead of the latest round of fixtures and will be looking to make it 11 wins in a row when they travel to Norwich City, but Chelsea remain hot on their heels as they prepare to face bottom club Sunderland. Arsenal visit Hull City in a preview of next month's FA Cup final and Everton host Manchester United on what could be a pivotal weekend in the fight for fourth, while the scrap for survival is also entering its decisive final phase. Fulham can climb out of the bottom three, at least temporarily, by beating Tottenham Hotspur, while Cardiff City can boost their chances with a win at home to Stoke City. Elsewhere, Aston Villa will be hoping to put a difficult week behind them against Southampton, Newcastle United take on Swansea City and West Ham United meet Crystal Palace. Seven-and-a-half hours of live Super Sunday coverage on Sky Sports 1HD kicks off with Liverpool's clash away to Norwich, as Neil Adams' baptism of fire continues. Appointed in place of Chris Hughton for the final five games of the season, Adams' reign began with a 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Fulham which left Norwich just two points clear of the drop zone, and their remaining matches after this weekend are against Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Liverpool are not the side they would choose to face at this point, especially Luis Suarez, who has scored 11 goals in his last four appearances against the Canaries. Brendan Rodgers' Reds are four wins away from becoming champions for the first time since 1990 and have already claimed ten victories in a row after holding off Manchester City in a 3-2 thriller at Anfield. In a week in which football marked the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, captain Steven Gerrard was tearful as he gathered his team-mates in a huddle after the City success and told them to 'go again' against Norwich.

Psychological edge

Hull City and Arsenal will meet again in the FA Cup final in May but on Sunday it will be Premier League points up for grabs rather than a trophy. It has been a good week so far for the Gunners in the competition for fourth, after they beat West Ham United 3-1 and Everton slipped up against Crystal Palace. Arsene Wenger's side are now back in front of their rivals by one point and know they will clinch UEFA Champions League qualification for a 17th straight year if they win their remaining games. Hull will be seeking a psychological edge ahead of their return to Wembley, having overcome Sheffield United 5-3 in the semi-finals. Everton are now in the position of needing other results to go their way and their final four games also appear tougher than those awaiting Arsenal. Roberto Martinez's men surrendered their advantage when they lost 3-2 at home to Crystal Palace on Wednesday, which ended a magnificent run of seven straight wins. They will try to get back on track on Sunday and complete a double against Manchester United, who have not played since being knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern
