Here's what to look out for over the next week as the Premier League's final fixture of Matchweek 21 concludes, the EFL Cup finalists will be determined and FA Cup fourth-round matches will be held, including Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City. And Premier League players' continued participation in the Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup will also be decided this week. 

Monday

Premier League Matchweek 21 finishes on Monday night when Brighton & Hove Albion host Wolverhampton Wanderers.

A win for the Seagulls would lift them above Manchester United and into seventh, but a Wolves victory would move them level on points with Roberto De Zerbi's side.

At the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the final round of group-stage matches get under way, with West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus among the players set to feature when Ghana take on Mozambique at 20:00 GMT, while Egypt will hope to qualify for the last 16 despite being without the injured Mohamed Salah.

Nigeria will also be in action against Guinea-Bissau at 17:00 GMT, Brentford's Frank Onyeka, Fulham's Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina, will hope to win their match to secure a spot in the round of 16.

Tuesday

Chelsea will be seeking to overcome a 1-0 deficit when they entertain Middlesbrough in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs midfielder Pape Sarr could be in action at AFCON, with Senegal hoping to extend their 100 per cent record as they face Guinea in Group C at 17:00 GMT.
