  Southampton 0 Liverpool 3, Friday, 10.45pm UAE time. Liverpool are not at their best at the moment but have managed to keep the pressure on Manchester City. They continue that here as Sadio Mane, pictured, enjoys a productive evening against his former side to put the Merseyside club back at the top of the Premier League table. Getty

  Bournemouth 2 Burnley 0, Saturday, 6pm. Bournemouth's season has fallen away somewhat. But they will fancy their chances of avenging a 4-0 loss to Burnley earlier in the campaign here, with Callum Wilson, pictured, likely to be key their chances of success. Reuters

• 

  Huddersfield Town 0 Leicester City 3, Saturday, 6pm. Huddersfield are already relegated and their confidence is low. Leicester are performing well under Brendan Rodgers and Jamie Vardy, pictured, and James Maddison should have a very enjoyable afternoon. Reuters

  Newcastle United 1 Crystal Palace 2, Saturday, 6pm. Palace have been better away then at Selhurst Park this season and they could well pick up the three points, with Wilfried Zaha, pictured, likely to trouble the hosts with his pace and trickery. Action Images via Reuters

  Everton 0 Arsenal 2, Sunday, 5.05pm. Unai Emery believes if Arsenal are to finish in the top four this season they must be better away from home. This will be a tough one, given Everton have beaten Chelsea and drawn with Liverpool in the last month on home turf, but with Alexandre Lacazette, pictured, in good form this is a game the London side can win.

  Chelsea 2 West Ham United 0, Monday, 11pm. Both sides are inconsistent but Chelsea, with Eden Hazard back to his best in the win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday, to maintain their push for a top-four finish here. EPA

It is a smaller Premier League programme this weekend due to the FA Cup semi-finals also taking place.

There are only six games, with the focus on Friday night's clash between Southampton and Liverpool.

If Jurgen Klopp's side win they go back top of the table at the expense of Manchester City.

There are three games at 6pm UAE time on Saturday, with already relegated Huddersfield Town hosting Leicester City.

Arsenal travel to Everton on Sunday at 5.05pm, while Chelsea host London rivals West Ham United at 11pm on Monday.
