Chelsea looks to thrash Wolverhampton Wanderers
Third-placed Chelsea will be up against eighth-placed Wolverhampton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. A win here will be highly crucial for The Blues to stay in the top-four race. The result in this clash will not affect its league positioning for now but will put its top four chances in serious jeopardy.
Prediction: Chelsea wins 2-1

Manchester United needs to be careful vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Sixth-placed United is nearly out of the top four race, while it is struggling for a European finish. Meanwhile, it travels to face ninth-placed Brighton, which has been decent at home this season. Thus, the Red Devils need to be a bit careful on Saturday, although the result will not affect its positioning for now.
Prediction: 1-1 draw

Liverpool battles Tottenham in a potential title-race decider
Second-placed Liverpool hosts fifth-placed Tottenham on Sunday. The Reds will be looking to stay alive in the title race, while the Spurs will be eyeing the top four. A win for Liverpool could take it to the top, while a loss will keep it at the second, but could dent its title chances. Tottenham can rise to the fourth with a victory, while a defeat will keep it at fifth for now.
Prediction: Liverpool wins 3-2

West Ham United to rout Norwich City
Seventh-placed West Ham is travelling to take on an already-relegated Norwich in an away encounter on Sunday. The Hammers are fighting for a European berth, as it will desperately look to score big against the Canaries. The result is unlikely to affect West Ham's current positioning.
Prediction: West Ham wins 3-1

Leicester City might need to be careful against Everton
Eleventh-placed Leicester will be up at home against a relegation-threatened Everton on Sunday. Although the Foxes have the home advantage here, the Toffees are determined to survive and would give it all. A win for Leicester might take it to ninth, while a defeat could push it down to as low as 15th.
Prediction: 1-1 draw

Arsenal aims to hammer Leeds United
Fourth-placed Arsenal is well in the race for the top three. It hosts a relegation-threatened Leeds on Sunday. Both teams will be desperate to win here, while the Gunners will have the upper hand, thanks to its home advantage. A win for Arsenal will keep it at fourth, while a loss could see it dropping to fifth.
Prediction: Arsenal wins 2-0

Manchester City might find it tricky against Newcastle United
Table-topper defending champion Manchester City is fighting for the title, as it hosts tenth-placed Newcastle United on Sunday. Although it should be easy for the Cityzens, given the Magpies' recovery rate this season, it might prove to be tricky. A win for City keeps it atop, while a loss could drop it to second.
Prediction: City wins 3-1
