    The ePremier League is a competitive gaming tournament on Electronic Arts' Fifa 21, with players representing different teams from the Premier League.

    The current season reaches its conclusion with this week's ePL finals, when the UK's top 40 players will battle it out to be crowned grand champion.

    Competition is initially split between the Xbox and Playstation, with 20 players on each console competing in four seeded groups.

    The best two players in each group will progress to the knockout stages before the Xbox One and PS4 champions go head-to-head for the overall title.

    As well as competing for a share of the £40,000 prize pot, top-ranking players will also qualify for the European play-offs of Fifa's Global Series.

    The 2019/20 ePremier League champion Tom "Hashtag Tom" Leese, representing Tottenham Hotspur, is in Group A of the PS4 section.

    So is the player he beat in last year's ePL Grand Final, Brighton & Hove Albion's Marc "MarcMarleyyy" Marley.

    Marley was the 2019/20 ePL Xbox champion, then representing AFC Bournemouth, but is now on PS4.

    Donovan "Fnatix Tekkx" Hunt, representing Liverpool, will be one to watch out for in the Xbox competition.

    He was the inaugural ePL champion and will be hoping to go one better than last year, when he lost to MarcMarleyyy in the Xbox final.

  3. How does the competition work?

    Group games will take place on 23-24 March.

    The four groups of players on each console - Xbox and PS4 - are worked out on seedings based on this season's matches.

    A total of seven matches will take place in each group, culminating with two qualification games, the winners of which will make the knockout stages.
