Manchester City avenge Tottenham loss as Everton shock Manchester United: Premier League predictions

Chelsea and Arsenal boost their top-four hopes as Liverpool stay in the title hunt by beating Cardiff are among the other forecasts for the weekend's action

Manchester City 3 Tottenham Hotspur 1, Saturday, 3.30pm UAE time. The luck of the fixture list is that Spurs have to face City again less then 72 hours after getting past them in their epic Uefa Champions League tie. City must rebound fast to keep the destiny of the Premier League title race in their own hands, and with Raheem Sterling, pictured, in great form they will do so. Reuters

Bournemouth 4 Fulham 0, Saturday, 6pm. Bournemouth put five past Brighton last weekend and they can score heavily again this weekend against already relegated Fulham to continue Eddie Howe's (pictured) side finishing the season on a high. Action Images via Reuters

Huddersfield Town 1 Watford 2, Saturday, 6pm. FA Cup finalists Watford have been hit by injury and suspension but should be too good still for bottom-placed Huddersfield. Goalkeeper Ben Foster, pictured, will be looking to make up for his error against Arsenal on Monday. Getty

West Ham United 2 Leicester City 1, Saturday, 6pm. Both teams are inconsistent so hard to know what to expect. West Ham were impressive in defeat against Manchester United last week and if the likes of Felipe Anderson, pictured, can maintain that form they can prevail here. Reuters

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 Brighton and Hove Albion 0, Saturday, 6pm. Brighton are in horrible form, losing their past four league games, and Chris Hughton, pictured, needs his side to avert that slide quickly. But Wolves, despite their own struggles despite losing their FA Cup semi-final, will take the points here. Reuters

Newcastle United 1 Southampton 0, Saturday, 8.30pm. Both sides on paper need more points to be safe from the drop, but are probably there already in reality. Newcastle have been great in terms of grinding wins out against sides around them and with Ayoze Perez, pictured, in good form they prevail here. PA via AP

Everton 2 Manchester United 1, Sunday, 4.30pm. Marco Silva, pictured, has every right to be confused. His side can be good enough on their day to beat Chelsea and Arsenal, but then lost to Fulham. But they can bounce back here and shock a demoralised United, who are coming into the match on the back of an emphatic loss at Barcelona. Reuters

Arsenal 2 Crystal Palace 0, Sunday, 7pm. Arsenal, buoyed by reaching the Europa League semi-finals, can keep up their push for a top-four finish here, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, pictured, set to have a profitable afternoon. Reuters

Cardiff City 0 Liverpool 2, Sunday, 7pm. You have to feel sorry for Cardiff. They win against Brighton to boost their hopes of survival but walk straight into a must-win game for their opponents Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's side should be too strong, with Mohamed Salah, pictured, having re-found his goal touch. AFP

Chelsea 2 Burnley 0, Monday, 11pm. Chelsea are another side needing points to stay in the top-four hunt. Burnley can be awkward opponents but in Eden Hazard, pictured, Maurizio Sarri's team should have the difference maker. EPA

The Premier League is beginning to glimpse its finish line with only four full match weeks left of the season.

This weekend's action is highlighted by Manchester City looking for revenge against Tottenham Hotspur, the match on Saturday at 3.30pm UAE time coming less than three days after Spurs won their Uefa Champions League quarter-final tie on away goals.

City need to win to keep the destiny of the Premier League title in their own hands, while Spurs need the points to stay on track for a top-four finish.

There are four 6pm games, with struggling Brighton and Hove Albion visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers the pick of the action, before at 8.30pm Newcastle United host Southampton.

On Sunday there are three games. Demoralised Manchester United visit Everton at 4.30pm, before Arsenal host Crystal Palace at 7pm.

Also at 7pm title challengers Liverpool visit relegation-threatened Cardiff City.

The concluding action on Monday sees Chelsea host Burnley at 11pm.
