Arsenal v Watford: Two clubs set to sign off on disappointing seasons. Arsenal will be motivated by the prospect of potentially ending the season in eighth, but the stakes are much higher for 18th-placed Watford. However, goalkeeper Ben Foster has admitted confidence is at “zero” and the drop looks imminent. Prediction: Arsenal 2 Watford 0. AFP

Burnley v Brighton: One of four games with little on the line. Burnley have been in fine form since the restart while Brighton have done enough to secure safety. A game few outside the clubs’ fanbases will pay much attention to. Prediction: Burnley 1 Brighton 0. PA

Chelsea v Wolves: Chelsea ran out emphatic 5-2 winners in the reverse fixture and Frank Lampard would bite off his own arm for the same outcome. Both Chelsea and Wolves have been in mixed form, but the Blues should have just enough to claim a vital victory. Prediction: Chelsea 2 Wolves 1. AP

Everton v Bournemouth: Bournemouth are hanging on by their fingernails and nothing short of a win at Everton will keep them in the Premier League. Unfortunately for the Cherries, their five-year spell in the top flight looks set to be over. Prediction: Everton 1 Bournemouth 1. Reuters

Leicester City v Manchester United: It’s winner takes all at the King Power Stadium. Third-placed United lead Leicester, in fifth, by one point, but their form could not be more contrasting. Leicester have really struggled in recent months while United have surged. Injury problems have not helped the hosts and it looks like their top four bid will end at the final hurdle.

Southampton v Sheffield United: Liverpool aside, Sheffield United have been the success story of the season. Southampton, meanwhile, have done well to rebound from their early season setbacks. Two satisfying campaigns to end in a satisfying draw. Prediction: Southampton 1 Sheffield United 1. EPA

West Ham v Aston Villa: Aston Villa climbed out of the drop zone after their surprise win over Arsenal and will be safe as long as Watford lose at Arsenal. They will hope that’s the case, because West Ham are in good form and should have enough to win this. Prediction: West Ham 2 Aston Villa 1. AP

Strait of Hormuz

Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.

The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.

Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.
