PREMIER LEAGUE fans of one club will be in for a treat this weekend with pints of beer and cans of wine being sold for less than the price of water.
However, fans will need to be quick with the deal only lasting until 2pm.

The scheme from Fulham was first revealed when they hosted Leicester at Craven Cottage on August 24.
It saw pints of beer, pale ale, Guinness and wine being sold for just £1 before 2pm in a bid to avoid stadium chaos after rolling out a new electronic ticketing system.
The club said they were anticipating “queues” while fans get to grips with the new system, and struck a deal to encourage fans to arrive early to minimise any teething issues.
And they have now confirmed they will be running the scheme once again when they host West Ham at 3pm today.
The club have confirmed stands will open up to three hours before kick-off.
The Riverside will open three hours before kick-off (12:00), the Johnny Haynes and Hammersmith Stands will open two hours before kick-off (13:00) and the Putney End will open an hour and a half before kick-off (13:30).
However, while their opening match saw soft drinks reduced to just 50p, journalist Jack Kelly has reported soft and hot drinks will return to their normal matchday prices for the London derby.
It costs £2 for a cup of tea, £2.50 for coffee, hot chocolate or a Bovril, while a can of Coke, Diet Coke, Fanta or water costs £3.50.

After 2pm a beer will return to its normal retail price of £5.50, while cider, Guinness and bitter will cost £5.
A can of wine will cost £5.30 once the early bird offer is over.
Fulham won their first home game of the season against Leicester courtesy of goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi.
They have also lost and drawn away from home in games against Manchester United and Ipswich respectively.
