Graham Caygill picks this weekend’s round of Premier League ties. Click or swipe through for each match. All times UAE.
Tottenham Hotspur 3 Watford 0
Saturday, 3.30pm
Why? Tottenham trounced Watford 4-1 on January 1 and will expect another emphatic win with Watford in a crisis in defence, with Younes Kaboul and Sebastian Prodl injured and Miguel Britos suspended. Though Harry Kane, who scored twice at Vicarage Road, is still out injured, Son Heung-min has proved an able deputy, scoring the winner in the 2-1 victory at Swansea City on Wednesday.
Manchester City 3 Hull City 1
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Hull are fighting for their lives in the relegation scrap at the foot of the table, but while they have won their past two games to get out of the bottom three, they will find things tougher at the Etihad Stadium. City, with Sergio Aguero having netted in his past three games, beginning to find his range.
Middlesbrough 1 Burnley 0
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Wednesday's defeat at Hull has all but consigned Middlesbrough to an immediate return to the Championship after just one season in the top flight. They have not won since December, but caretaker manager Steve Agnew's side will fancy their chances of ending their drought against a Burnley side who have picked up only three points on their travels all season and are yet to win.
Stoke City 1 Liverpool 1
Saturday, 6pm
Why? Stoke can be a formidable opponent on home turf and Marko Arnautovic and Saido Berahino can cause Liverpool's weak backline problems. Liverpool are definitely weaker without the injured Sadio Mane so the omens are not promising for Jurgen Klopp's men.
West Bromwich Albion 2 Southampton 2
Saturday, 6pm
Why? West Brom can start planning their summer holidays with the side on their own in the table in eighth, not challenging the top seven, but not getting relegated either. But Tony Pulis will want an improved display after their loss at Watford in midweek. Nathan Redmond continues to impress for Southampton, who still need a couple of points to be secure from the drop.
West Ham United 1 Swansea City 0
Saturday, 6pm
Why? West Ham have hit the skids at exactly the wrong time, losing their past five games. With Hull and Swansea improving, Slaven Bilic's side are in real trouble and they cannot afford to lose this six-pointer and need Andy Carroll to step up in attack and get the goals that will fire them to safety. Swansea are a tougher side under Paul Clement, but the late collapse against Tottenham will hurt them mentally and this could be more heartbreak for the Welsh side.
Bournemouth 0 Chelsea 2
Saturday, 8.30pm
Why? The league leaders demonstrated their mental toughness in midweek by overcoming Manchester City 2-1. Diego Costa and Chelsea's forward line will fancy their chances of taking a step closer to the title against a spirited Bournemouth.
Sunderland 0 Manchester United 2
Sunday, 4.30pm
Why? After two losses this week, it is now a case of when, not if, Sunderland are relegated. United need to return to winning ways themselves after two draws, and their top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic will expect to add to his goal tally against the worst side in the league.
Everton 2 Leicester City 1
Sunday, 9pm
Why? Leicester have won their past five games to bring back memories of their title winning campaign 12 months ago, with Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez refinding their best form. But they may make changes with one eye on their Uefa Champions League quarter-final first leg with Atletico Madrid in midweek, so Everton will be confident they have a strong chance of ending their run. They have picked up 24 points out of 36 in 2017, with Romelu Lukaku on the goal trail, and they can stop Leicester's momentum here.
Crystal Palace 1 Arsenal 1
Monday, 11pm
Why? A run of four wins in a row for Palace came to an end at Southampton on Wednesday, but with Christian Benteke finally becoming a consistent goal threat for the London side, they have genuine hope of beating the drop. Arsenal beat an out of form West Ham on Wednesday, but doubts remain over the mental toughness of Arsene Wenger's side and they will not leave Selhurst Park with all three points.
