This slate of games gets underway at Villa Park on Saturday lunchtime when a wounded Aston Villa try to bounce back from defeat at Arsenal at home to Nottingham Forest.
On Saturday night, league leaders Arsenal look to strengthen their title bid away to AFC Bournemouth, who could have Antoine Semenyo in the line-up for the final time as he closes in on a move to Manchester City.
Sunday brings a wealth of intriguing match-ups, not least Ruben Amorim‘s Manchester United travelling to bitter rivals Leeds United at 12.30pm.
Elsewhere, Everton host Brentford, Liverpool travel to west London to face Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur welcome the surprise package of the season so far in Sunderland, and managerless Chelsea travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.
Daily Mail Sport’s NATHAN SALT is the expert for you to try to beat this time around in our Predictor game after Kieran Gill’s effort last time out.
‘I am confident that Aston Villa will put their hammering away at Arsenal behind them and immediately bounce back at home against a Nottingham Forest side that won just two of nine away from home.
‘Bournemouth are not the same side they were last season but they still pack a punch and I think should Semenyo get one final outing before joining Manchester City, that could help inspire a crucial point for the Cherries.
‘Arsenal won’t be flawless between now and the final day and I think after beating Aston Villa, they’ll be narrowly pegged back here.
‘Similarly, I’ve been really impressed by Fulham whenever I’ve covered them live and I’m backing them to take a point off Liverpool at Craven Cottage.
‘Brentford rank 17th in away form in the Premier League so expect a routine home win for Everton, while more home misery is on the horizon for a Tottenham Hotspur side that won just twice on their own patch all season. I expect Sunderland to beat Spurs.
‘The two most intriguing games of the weekend involve the Manchester clubs with Ruben Amorim, once again under fierce scrutiny, travelling to a Leeds United side that have shown they can score goals.
‘But Amorim has a knack of getting results at crucial moments and I think Manchester United will narrowly edge to victory at Elland Road. For Manchester City they are taking on a Chelsea side that just split with boss Enzo Maresca so I’m expecting that off-pitch chaos to spill onto it and City will comfortably ride to victory.’
