• Arsenal v Liverpool: This is a pivotal match to both team’s seasons, with just seven games left after this. Arsenal, six points ahead of Liverpool with better goal difference, would probably take a draw to solidify their top-four status, but they also have an outside title chance. A draw would also give Manchester United the chance to move third. Liverpool need a win, with United likely to beat Aston Villa at home. Anything else would see the gap between themselves and fourth move to at least six points, with 21 to play for. PREDICTION: 1-1 AFP PHOTO / PAUL ELLIS

  • Burnley v Tottenham: Fresh from their 1-0 defeat of Manchester City in their last home game, Burnley should be confident of more points against Tottenham. This could be a huge weekend for them, with Sunderland – a point ahead in 17th place – facing a local derby. With Danny Ings up front, Burnley should score and with a bit of luck will snatch a win.

  • Swansea City v Hull City: Hull are three points off the relegation zone and will probably set themselves up not to lose at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea aren’t quite the same side attacking wise since Wilfried Bony left for Manchester City and this could be decided by a single goal. PREDICTION: 1-0 (Photo by Nigel Roddis/Getty Images)

  • Manchester United v Aston Villa: United have momentum with four straight wins capped off by a superb display at Liverpool last time out. They also have a settled side although Louis van Gaal might bring Angel Di Maria back into the team. Even the most optimistic of Aston Villa fans would struggle to predict anything other than defeat – their team have scored eight times away from home all season, with half those goals came in one match.

  • Chelsea v Stoke City: This might be the game where Chelsea throw off the shackles of recent games and return to their dominant early season form. They’ve not won a game by a two-goal margin since mid-January, but an early goal against Stoke and we could see a hatful. PREDICTION: 4-0 Reuters / Andrew Couldridge

  • Aston Villa v QPR: Villa should be able to bounce back from a probable defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday with a comfortable win at home to QPR. As pointed out several times before – QPR are awful on the road. This is a match made for Christian Benteke. PREDICTION: 2-0 (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images)

  • West Bromwich Albion v QPR: West Brom have won their last three home games and shouldn’t have to many problems dealing with QPR and their atrocious away record of one win and 13 defeats. Charlie Austin is the wildcard - the QPR frontman only needs one chance to grab a goal and will keep West Brom’s defence honest. PREDICITON: 2-1 EPA/SEAN DEMPSEY

  • Crystal Palace v Manchester City: Palace have played some brilliant football recently, but this game is far too important for City to slip up. They will know how Chelsea have done on Saturday. Jose Mourinho’s men will probably have beaten Stoke, meaning the gap to City will be nine points. This is a must-win game for the champions, so expect their big-game players – Sergio Aguero in particular – to produce. PREDICTION: 1-3 (AP Photo/Jon Super)

  • Sunderland v Newcastle: Local derbies can be thrillers, but expect cards a lot of shouting and no goals in the north-east of England on Sunday. Sunderland haven’t won in seven and Newcastle have lost their last three. It could get very cagey. PREDICTION: 0-0 (Photo by Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images)
