Arsenal are five points clear of Manchester City at the top but have played a game more
Tottenham start the weekend just five points above the relegation zone
Wolves moved on to 10 points with Wednesday's draw against Arsenal
Another busy weekend of Premier League action is highlighted by the small matter of Sunday's north London derby between Tottenham, under new head coach Igor Tudor, and title-chasing Arsenal.
We have provided a score prediction for that game and all the matches taking place in the top-flight this weekend.
Aston Villa vs Leeds (Saturday, 3pm)
Aston Villa have lost three of their last five home matches, but they can get back on track against a Leeds team who, although hard to beat, remain among the poorest travellers in the division.
Villa are unbeaten in their last six meetings with the Whites, winning the two most recent head-to-heads by a 2-1 scoreline.
Score prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Leeds
Brentford vs Brighton (Saturday, 3pm)
Two sides in contrasting form meet at the Gtech Community Stadium as Brentford, who are pushing for Europe and have won eight of their last 12 across all competitions, face a Brighton side who have won just once in the league since November, with the pressure mounting on head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
Score prediction: Brentford 2-0 Brighton
Chelsea vs Burnley (Saturday, 3pm)
Chelsea have won eight in 11 under Liam Rosenior and should have no problems seeing off a hapless Burnley.
The Clarets took one step forward by winning at Crystal Palace in their last league fixture before taking two back with their FA Cup defeat at the hands of League One Mansfield.
Score prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Burnley
West Ham vs Bournemouth (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Two in-form sides will meet at the London Stadium and that could lead to an entertaining contest. The last two meetings between West Ham and Bournemouth have finished 2-2 and a similarly high-scoring draw could be on the cards.
Score prediction: West Ham 2-2 Bournemouth
Manchester City vs Newcastle (Saturday, 8pm)
Man City won home and away to Newcastle in the EFL Cup semi-finals last month and they should have no problem seeing off the Magpies, who have not taken so much as a point away from the Etihad Stadium since 2006.
Score Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle
Crystal Palace vs Wolves (Sunday, 2pm)
Crystal Palace's draw in the Conference League during the week means it is now just one win in 15 for Oliver Glasner's side.
They may also fail to beat an improving Wolves side that are fresh from Wednesday's eye-catching 2-2 draw with title-chasing Arsenal.
Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-0 Wolves
Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool (Sunday, 2pm)
Nottingham Forest were 3-0 winners at Liverpool in November and will be buoyed by their midweek Europa League success at Fenerbahce in Vitor Pereira's first match in charge.
That trip to Turkey may have taken a lot out of the Tricky Trees, however, and a fresh Liverpool may be able to edge to a City Ground success.
Score Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool
Sunderland vs Fulham (Sunday, 2pm)
Sunderland lost their unbeaten home record against Liverpool in their last league fixture and they may struggle to get the better of a Fulham side, who like the Black Cats, are out of form in the league but have progressed in the FA Cup.
Score prediction: Sunderland 1-1 Fulham
Tottenham vs Arsenal (Sunday, 4.30pm)
Arsenal's lead at the top could have been cut to just two points by the time they kick-off on Sunday and the Gunners have only won two of their last seven matches in the league.
Spurs are in need of the points to pull clear of the relegation zone, but should have a spring in their step under new boss Tudor. This fixture usually guarantees goals, but it could prove a frustrating afternoon for the league leaders.
Score prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Arsenal
Everton vs Manchester United (Monday, 8pm)
Manchester United's upturn under Michael Carrick could well continue at Hill Dickinson Stadium where Everton have failed to win in six matches across league and cup.
Score prediction: Everton 1-2 Manchester United
