Four Premier League games kick-off at 3pm on a busy day in the top flight the relegation battle comes into full view, before Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are all in action.
With Burnley and Leicester already safe from relegation, the two sides battle it out at Turf Moor in the pursuit of European football this season, while Crystal Palace host rivals Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park in what is almost certain to be a feisty affair.
Swansea look to continue their climb up the Premier League table as they host an Everton side whose season is largely fizzling out, while Huddersfield Town take on Watford at the John Smith’s Stadium.
The evening kick-off sees Liverpool look to take momentum from their victory over Manchester City in mid-week as they face Bournemouth at Anfield, while a rare Saturday late game will headline the day’s action as Tottenham host City at Wembley.

Fans arrive at Selhurst Park ahead of Crystal Palace vs Brighton
Post-match reaction from Olivier Giroud
Giroud came off the bench to score twice as Chelsea came from two goals down to beat Southampton in the day's early game.
"In football you always have the opportunity to bounce back.
"We've shown great character, great spirit and I'm very pleased for the team today.
"I used to say that football is about new beginnings. You always need to question yourself. In tough moments it's important to show character. I've been through some difficulties in my career and it's important to come back stronger."
Quotes from Sky Sports
This is what Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson had to say this week ahead of his side's relegation six-pointer against Brighton at Selhurst Park.
"I expect them really to show that belief. The table affects so much, the pressures from the outside weigh on players, but as a football coach there's only so much you can really do about that.
"We are where we are and these last five games could be very nervy occasions. We're going to be very anxious and there's no doubt that the anxiety will find its way from the crowd out on to the field and all I can hope for is that the players show their experience and stand up to it.
"There's nothing you can do or say other than make it clear that you've got confidence in them."
