Liverpool will return to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday if they avoid defeat at home to Bournemouth.
The Reds, who lost top spot to Manchester City for the first time since December in midweek, only need a point to move back to the summit but Jurgen Klopp will be looking for all three points at Anfield.
The weekend’s action begins with Manchester United travelling to second from bottom Fulham, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have the chance to move into the top-four with victory at Craven Cottage.
Arsenal, just a point worse off than United, will look to keep pace with them as they travel to bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield Town – who are in desperate need of a first victory under Jan Siewert.
Cardiff have the chance to move out of the relegation places for the first time this year as they travel to Southampton – who could find themselves in the bottom three if they lose. Cardiff will move above the Saints with the win.
Fourth from bottom Burnley travel to Brighton in the late kick-off and victory will see them move level on points with the Seagulls.
Crystal Palace are looking for back-to-back wins as they host West Ham at Selhurst Park, as Roy Hodgson’s men look to move further clear of the relegation battle.
The final game sees eighth place Watford host ninth placed Everton at Vicarage Road with Marco Silva and Richarlison looking for victory on their return to the club.
