Premier League predictions: Manchester City and Liverpool share the spoils, more woe for West Ham and Bournemouth

The battle for a top-four spot and to avoid the drop hotting up in the latest round of matches

FA Cup - Quarter Final - Norwich City v Manchester United

TUESDAY: Brighton v Manchester United (Kick-off 11.15pm UAE time): Another vital game for United - unbeaten in 14 games in all competitions - and their quest for a top-four spot, especially with the likes of Chelsea and Wolves also in fine form. Brighton, though, will be a tough challenge. As their relegation rivals' form drops off a cliff, the Seagulls are unbeaten in three matches, all against sides in the top half of the table - drawing with Wolves and Leicester, while beating Arsenal.
