Why there are only three Premier League games today as Everton and Liverpool decisions explained

Both Everton and Liverpool are back in action during the May bank holiday - but neither side will be playing on Saturday afternoon with just three Premier League fixtures scheduled.

Eagle-eyed viewers looking to settle in front of the television on Saturday afternoon for extensive top-flight coverage will be in for a surprise when the early kick-off between Crystal Palace and West Ham is followed by just two 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League and no 5:30 kick-off.

On Merseyside, Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Sunday as they look to keep alive their faint hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Everton, meanwhile, travel to the East Midlands to face relegation foes Leicester City on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football slot.
