West Ham United 2 Arsenal 2
Why? West Ham have been one of the major revelations of the season, and Dimitri Payet one of the players of the season. Arsenal looked back to their best when they hammered Watford 4-0 last week, but ominously for them, West Ham usually raise their game against the best sides in the league.
Aston Villa 0 Bournemouth 3
Why? Villa are effectively relegated and are waiting to be put out of their misery. Bournemouth have been excellent this year, with Eddie Howe's vibrant side fully deserving to comfortably stay up, and they will seal their top flight status with an easy win.
Crystal Palace 1 Norwich City 0
Why? Palace have not won since December 19 in the league, but recent performances have been encouraging. Martin Olsson's last gasp winner for Norwich earned a 3-2 win over Newcastle United last weekend to give them some breathing space in the relegation fight, but they may well end up pointless at Selhurst Park.
Southampton 2 Newcastle United 1
Why? Last Saturday's loss at Norwich was a blow for Newcastle. Things are unlikely to get any better for Rafa Benitez's men on the south coast as Southampton have impressed of late and were unlucky to lose at leaders Leicester City last weekend.
Swansea City 1 Chelsea 3
Why? Now they have nothing to play for and Guus Hiddink is experimenting with his line-up, Chelsea look revitalised. Another comfortable win should be on here, with Alexandre Pato looking to build on his first Premier League goal last weekend at Aston Villa.
Watford 0 Everton 2
Why? Watford have slumped of late, with four successive losses, and more ominously have failed to score in six of their past eight games. Everton have been inconsistent this year, but play their best stuff, like a lot of sides, away from home, and Romelu Lukaku should enjoy a good afternoon at Vicarage Road.
Manchester City 3 West Bromwich Albion 0
Why? City have looked much more like the side expected to fight for the title since Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury, and the Belgian's skills, aligned with those of David Silva and the finishing of Sergio Aguero, should clinch an easy three points.
Sunderland 0 Leicester City 1
Why? Given Leicester have won their past four games by the same scoreline, this is the obvious prediction. Sunderland will be a handful on their home turf, but they rely heavily on Jermain Defoe for goals, and Leicester's backline should secure another shutout as Claudio Ranieri's men move ever closer to an improbable title win.
Liverpool 2 Stoke City 2
Why? Mark Hughes has brought together an impressive Stoke side, that on their day have shown they are capable of matching anyone in the league. With Liverpool having one eye on the Europa League, Stoke should get something from Anfield.
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Manchester United 1
Why? Tottenham cannot afford anymore slip ups, after failing to win at Liverpool last weekend, if they are to catch Leicester. This might not be the most fluent of United sides but they are still hard to break down. The quality of Harry Kane for Tottenham will be the difference.
