EPL Fixtures on 13 April *All times SAST

Tottenham 4-0 Huddersfield

Lucas Moura scored the first hat-trick at Tottenham's new stadium, as the hosts thrashed sorry Huddersfield to return to third in the table.

Kenyan powerhouse Victor Wanyama showed a delicate touch to put the dominant home side into a 24th-minute lead, taking Fernando Llorente's pass before rounding keeper Ben Hamer.

One became two three minutes later as Moussa Sissoko teed up Moura, who blasted in to double the advantage.

Llorente was reveling in his forward role with Harry Kane out injured and he nearly made it three when he headed a Christian Eriksen free kick narrowly wide.

The Spaniard came even closer the other side of half time, volleying against the crossbar.

Hugo Lloris was forced to tip Juninho Bacuna's wicked free kick on to his own cross bar in the 81st minute, before Eriksen immediately struck the post as Spurs countered.

But Brazilian Moura was on hand to add the gloss late on, first controlling Eriksen's ball before finishing with style.

And he snapped up the match ball in the third minute of stoppage time with another tidy finish to make it four.

Manchester United vs West Ham 18:30

Manchester United need to return to form at home to West Ham in the late Saturday game if they are to maintain their top four tilt.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suffered two defeats in three Premier League matches since being given the permanent job in the Old Trafford hotseat.

Wolves stunned the Red Devils 2-1 in their last league assignment, a week last Tuesday.

It means United start the weekend back where they started in sixth, albeit still well within reach of third as the run-in continues.

West Ham have suffered back-to-back 2-0 defeats as their campaign has hit the buffers.

The Hammers were booed off by their own fans in losing at home to Everton before London rivals Chelsea compounded the dissatisfaction by repeating the scoreline at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

Southampton vs Wolves 16:00

Wolves have the chance to return to seventh in the Premier League table when they go to struggling Southampton on Saturday.

The Black Country side stunned Manchester United with a 2-1 win at Molineux last time out.

Southampton's relegation-busting run went pop last weekend as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Liverpool, leaving the Saints hovering nervously above the drop zone.

Burnley vs Cardiff 16:00

Cardiff continue their battle to avoid an immediate return to the Championship away to improving Burnley on Saturday.

The Clarets have won their last two, against Bournemouth and Wolves, to pull away from the choppy relegation waters.

Cardiff, by contrast, remain right in the clarts after being diddled at home by Chelsea and overwhelmed at Manchester City.

Brighton vs Bournemouth 16:00

Brighton and Bournemouth contest a south coast tussle with the hosts still with work to do to ensure their Premier League survival.

Chris Hughton's men come into the game five points clear of the drop zone with a couple of matches in hand, but have lost their last two.

The Cherries are bumbling along in mid-table but haven't won in three.

Fulham vs Everton 16:00

In-form Everton go to relegated Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Toffees have won their last three in the EPL with a 1-0 home success over Arsenal last weekend back up victories against West Ham and Chelsea.

Fulham are heading straight back to the second tier and were walloped 4-1 by Watford in their last game.
