Manchester City 2 Stoke City 1
Why? Manuel Pellegrini's men may have one eye understandably on their Uefa Champions League semi-final tie with Real Madrid coming up, but with Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne on form they should have too much for Stoke.
Aston Villa 0 Southampton 4
Why? This could be ugly. Villa are already relegated and waved the white flag a long time ago, and Southampton have had a strong second half to the season. With Sadio Mane pulling the strings, this could well be as sizeable a win as Ronald Koeman's side want it to be.
Bournemouth 1 Chelsea 2
Why? There should be a real end-of-season feel to this match. Eddie Howe's Bournemouth have effectively secured their survival already, while Chelsea are rooted in mid-table. This should be a close affair, but the quality of Diego Costa will be the difference maker.
Liverpool 3 Newcastle United 1
Why? Four points in two games have given Newcastle hope of beating the drop, but they are up against an in-form Liverpool, who are really beginning to hit their stride under Jurgen Klopp, and they should have far too much for the visitors.
Sunderland 1 Arsenal 1
Why? This is turning into another classic season of missed opportunities for Arsene Wenger's Arsenal. The club's fans are getting restless and things are unlikely to get any better on Sunday as Sunderland need something from this game in their fight with relegation. In Jermain Defoe they have the goal threat to get at least a point.
Leicester City 1 Swansea City 1
Why? Leicester showed the first signs of edginess in drawing with West Ham United last week and how they cope without the suspended Jamie Vardy will be interesting. Swansea have little to play for, but Gylfi Sigurdsson could just do his former employers Tottenham Hotspur a favour with a vintage performance.
Tottenham Hotspur 3 West Bromwich Albion 0
Why? Tottenham underlined their title credentials with their 4-0 thrashing of Stoke City and there is no reason why they cannot keep that up against West Brom, with Harry Kane and Dele Alli in great form.
