The English Premier League heads towards the sharp end this weekend with a full set of fixtures between Friday and Monday, including the feisty delights of the North London Derby.
Arsenal and Tottenham resume hostilities on Sunday afternoon, with Jose Mourinho’s Spurs making the short trip down the road to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are picking up form but likely not quick enough, with seven points and three places separating themselves and their seventh-placed visitors.
Manchester United have top four rivals West Ham to deal with in the late Sunday kick off at Old Trafford, as the Red Devils attempt to eke out the EPL title race for as long as possible.
Leicester start the day in third and will go above Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, at least temporarily, if they can see off rock bottom Sheffield United a little earlier on at the King Power Stadium.
Southampton and Brighton complete Sunday’s fixtures, meanwhile, when they meet for a south coast derby at St Mary’s Stadium.
Capitulating champions Liverpool will spend the weekend consoling themselves with their Champions League quarter-final place, ahead of a Monday night trip to Wolves.
Saturday sees Thomas Tuchel’s in-form Chelsea kick off the day at Leeds in the lunchtime match, with third place in the table in their sights.
Premier League leaders Manchester City head to Fulham for the late game, with Pep Guardiola’s side smarting after neighbours United put paid to their record-busting winning run last weekend.
Everton are another side well in with a shout of European qualification under the wily charge of Carlo Ancelotti.
The Toffees welcome fellow north west side Burnley to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.
Crystal Palace are at home to Sam Allardyce’s West Brom, whose increasingly forlorn hopes of avoiding relegation to the Championship are fading fast.
Newcastle are firmly in the drop dogfight, too, but can steal a march on the rest if they come good against Aston Villa in the Friday night fixture at St James’ Park.
