Burnley v Manchester City (11pm)
Second-bottom Burnley's 4-1 thrashing by Nottingham Forest means they will become the second team to be relegated this season, after Wolves, if they lose at Turf Moor.

Prediction: Sunderland 1 Forest 0
Saturday: Fulham v Aston Villa (12.30pm)
Fulham's inconsistent form continues with the Cottagers having won two, drawn two and lost two of their previous six matches. Saturday's goalless draw at Brentford leaves them in 12th place but still in the mix for a European place.

Prediction: Fulham 1 Villa 2

Prediction: Wolves 1 Spurs 2
Arsenal v Newcastle United (8.30pm)
Arsenal's title charge has been brought to a standstill after two defeats on the spin against Bournemouth and then Manchester City, with the Gunners having won once in six games across competitions.
