Manchester City vs Tottenham 13:30

Manchester City and Tottenham contest a repeat of their midweek Champions League quarter-final clash when they reconvene at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday lunchtime.

The pair resume Premier League hostilities with City needing to keep the heat on Liverpool at the top of the EPL table.

Pep Guardiola's side boast a precious game in hand but sit two points behind the Reds in the two-horse race for the title.

The form guide says it'll go to the wire, with the defending champions having won a ridiculous nine on the bounce.

Crystal Palace were swatted aside 3-1 last Sunday as the title holders continue their quest for back-to-back crowns.

Tottenham start the weekend third having won back-to-back matches of their own in the league.

Spurs ran riot over relegated Huddersfield at their new stadium last weekend, nudging them ahead of the chasing pack in the jostle for the remaining two top four places.

West Ham vs Leicester 16:00

Leicester head to play West Ham at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Foxes are chasing a Europa League spot thanks to a strong finish to the campaign, although they tasted defeat at home to Newcastle last time out.

Manuel Pellegrini's Hammers have lost their last three but were unfortunate at Manchester United last Saturday, as Paul Pogba's penalty double sealed a 2-1 victory for the hosts.

Wolves vs Brighton 16:00

Wolves face Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday, with plenty of meaning attached for both at either end of the table.

The hosts kick off level on points with Leicester in the battle to finish seventh and Best of The Rest on their return to the top flight.

Chris Hughton's Seagulls, meanwhile, have been dragged into a battle to stay in the EPL with four straight losses leaving them a perilous two points above the drop zone.

Newcastle vs Southampton 18:30

Newcastle and Southampton have the chance to cement their Premier League status when they meet at St James' Park on Saturday.

Rafa Benitez's men will break the 40-point mark if they can seal a win on home turf, after beating Leicester in the last fixture.

Huddersfield vs Watford 16:00

Huddersfield continue their long goodbye to the Premier League at home to Watford on Saturday.

The Terriers can't buy a point, never mind a win, as they bring the curtain down on a miserable second season in the top flight.

Watford are slap-bang in mid-table, albeit still in with a shout of seventh place if they put a strong finish together.

Bournemouth vs Fulham 16:00

Bournemouth take on relegated Fulham at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, as both sides finish the Premier League season with the shackles off.

The Cherries are safe enough in mid-table and walloped struggling Brighton 5-0 at the AMEX Stadium last weekend.

Scott Parker's Londoners were also winners, with a 2-0 home success over Everton ending a wretched losing sequence.
