Manchester United could close close the gap on neighbours and Premier League leaders Manchester City with victory on Tuesday evening.

United travel to Watford looking to avoid a third successive away defeat but they face a tough task at Vicarage Road. The Hornets know that victory would lift them into the top-six.

Tottenham travel to Leicester, knowing that three points at the King Power Stadium would take them into third place whilst the Foxes could move into the top-half of the table with the win.

Brighton entertain Crystal Palace in the M23 derby as the two big rivals meet for the first time since 2013. Bottom-of-the-table Palace would lift themselves to third from bottom with victory, whilst Brighton are looking to maintain their excellent form – which already sees them in ninth place.

West Brom, still under caretaker Gary Megson, entertain Newcastle – both of whom are looking for their first wins on over a month.

See below for a run-down on the games, including predictions from former England, Crystal Palace and Tottenham midfielder Andy Gray, our own Football Insider Graeme Bailey and bet365’s Steve Freeth.
