The momentum is shifting in the Premier League title race, with Manchester City able to move within two points of leaders Arsenal.
Meanwhile, West Ham face in-form Bournemouth, knowing a win would draw them level with Nottingham Forest in the fight to avoid relegation.
West Ham vs AFC Bournemouth – Saturday 5:30pm
Bournemouth have climbed up to ninth in the league after winning three of their past five matches, including a dramatic 3-2 victory over Liverpool.
West Ham are on a similarly positive run as they fight to avoid relegation. Their 3-2 defeat against Chelsea is their only blemish in recent weeks.
The Hammers will rely on in-form forward Crysencio Summerville. He has scored six goals in 2026 and is closing in on the club’s top scorer, Jarrod Bowen, who has eight goals this season.
Trips to the London Stadium haven’t been fruitful for the Cherries, who last won there in August 2018. West Ham remain unbeaten in nine league matches against their south coast rivals.
Prediction: Over 3.5 goals in the game

Manchester City vs Newcastle United – Saturday 8:00pm
Newcastle scored six goals midweek against Qarabag in the Champions League, with forward Anthony Gordon netting four to become the Magpies’ all-time top scorer in the competition.
Manchester City last beat Newcastle 3-1 on February 4 in the Carabao Cup semi-final, as Pep Guardiola’s side looks to maintain their strong form as they attempt to catch Arsenal at the top of the table.
City are unbeaten in their last 21 games at the Etihad against Eddie Howe’s side, winning the last 16 meetings. Newcastle, meanwhile, have managed just two wins in their last 10 matches against the Manchester side.
Harvey Barnes is aiming to become the first Newcastle player since Alan Shearer in 2004/05 to score home and away against City in a single campaign.
Prediction: Manchester City to win by more than 2.5 goals
Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – Sunday 2:00pm
Wolves will be confident heading to Selhurst Park after rescuing a point against Arsenal in the 94th minute.
It was the first time they had avoided defeat at home after trailing 2-0 since December 2019, when they beat Manchester City 3-2.
Crystal Palace’s recent form is a concern, particularly after conceding three first-half goals against relegation-bound Burnley.
However, they will take confidence from the Wanderers’ poor records at Selhurst Park, with the visitors having not won there since October 2018.
Jørgen Strand Larsen faces his former side, Wolves, following his January departure, and could play a key role, especially with Palace missing key strikers Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eddie Nketiah due to injury.
Prediction: Crystal Palace to win 2-1

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool – Sunday 2:00pm
Nottingham Forest have equalled Watford’s Premier League record for the most permanent managers in a season (4) after they announced Vitor Pereira as head coach.
Liverpool will aim to capitalise on their instability, with Dominik Szoboszlai returning from suspension. He has been an influential figure in helping the team score 15 goals in their last five matches.
Forest registered 35 shots in their 0-0 draw against Wolves and will look to replicate their impressive 3-0 win over the Reds in November.
Pereira’s side face a quick turnaround, with a Thursday evening fixture against Fenerbahçe in Turkey before Arne Slot’s side travel to Nottingham on Sunday.
Prediction: Liverpool to win and score over 2.5 goals
Sunderland vs Fulham – Sunday 2:00pm
Neither side is in strong form. Fulham’s last win came in a 2-1 victory over Brighton on January 24.
Sunderland, meanwhile, suffered their first home defeat of the season in a 1-0 loss to Liverpool. Their most recent league victory came on February 2 against Burnley.
The Black Cats haven’t beaten Fulham since 2017, when both sides were in the Championship. However, this may represent their best opportunity as Marco Silva’s top scorer, Harry Wilson, hasn’t scored since their Brighton success, one month ago.
Prediction: Game to end in a draw
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal – Sunday 4:30pm
There’s “no time to find excuses,” said Tottenham’s new manager, Igor Tudor, when asked about the threat of demotion.
Spurs sit five points above the relegation zone and remain without key players James Maddison, Richarlison, and Dejan Kulusevski due to injury.
Arsenal cannot afford another setback after their disappointing 2-2 draw against Wolves, which reduced their lead at the top to five points, with City holding a game in hand.
Mikel Arteta’s side has kept the most clean sheets (13) of any team this season, but has failed to win three of the last five league games despite taking the lead.
Tottenham’s last league victory over Arsenal came in May 2022, when Harry Kane scored twice in a 3-0 win.
Prediction: Arsenal to win, both teams to score
Everton vs Manchester United – Monday 8:00pm
Two of the last three meetings between these sides have ended in a 2-2 draw, although the Toffees won the reverse fixture 1-0 earlier this season.
The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last five matches. They have scored 11 goals and dropped points only against West Ham in a 1-1 draw.
David Moyes’ side has lost just two of its last 10 games and is pushing for a late run at Champions League qualification, sitting eight points off the top four.
Prediction: Manchester United to win 2-0
