Chelsea
Ladbrokes previews the latest round of Premier League fixtures, with expert predictions and live odds for every top-flight match between April 18-20.
The action kicks off on Saturday lunchtime as European hopefuls Brentford host Fulham, before Leeds take on Wolves in a crucial 3pm game at the foot of the table. Newcastle also take on Bournemouth, before Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham - now in 18th - face Brighton at 5:30pm. Saturday's action then comes to a dramatic close as Chelsea host Manchester United at 8pm.
Sunday sees a handful of 2pm kick-offs, with the Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool the pick of the bunch, before Man City and Arsenal clash in what could be a title decider to headline the weekend.
The action continues into Monday as Crystal Palace welcome West Ham to Selhurst Park, before a sprinkling of midweek games see Brighton play Chelsea, Bournemouth host Leeds, and Man City travel to Burnley.

Prediction: Brentford 2-1 Fulham
Last weekend's draw with Everton was Brentford's fifth in a row across all competitions, but despite the struggle to pick up wins, Keith Andrews' side remain in the driving seat to snatch the Conference League spot - and a win this weekend should strengthen their position. Fulham's season is petering out after a period of real promise, with one win from five in all comps, and despite the Cottagers winning each of their last three meetings with the Bees, we're tipping the hosts to edge it this weekend.
Prediction: Leeds 3-1 Wolves
That famous win at Old Trafford on Monday night has gone a huge way to securing Leeds' Premier League status for another year, and at home to Wolves, Daniel Farke's side will be confident of earning back-to-back league wins for the first time this season. Wolves' last away day was a humbling 4-0 defeat at West Ham, and travelling to the home of another side with everything to fight for, we aren't giving Rob Edwards' team much hope of picking up any points here.
Prediction: Newcastle 2-3 Bournemouth
After throwing a spanner in Arsenal's title challenge last weekend, Bournemouth travel to St. James' Park on a 12-game unbeaten run in the Premier League - and against a bruised Newcastle team slowly slipping down the league, the Cherries look good for another result here. Back-to-back defeats for Eddie Howe's Magpies have left them stranded in the bottom half, and with Bournemouth now carrying renewed hope of a European charge, we're tipping the visitors to edge a thriller.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Brighton
Tottenham finally fell into the bottom three last weekend, and after suffering another defeat to extend their winless run to 14 Premier League games, that's where they remain ahead of kick-off here. Brighton arrive in the capital off the back of three straight wins - with five wins from their last six - and against their former manager Roberto De Zerbi, we're backing the visitors to clinch a hard-fought away win that pushes Spurs into even deeper trouble.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Man United
Three consecutive Premier League defeats have seen Chelsea slowly lose ground in the Champions League race, with the Blues now closer to Sunderland in 10th than they are to Liverpool in fifth. Man United are in an excellent position to bring UCL football back to Old Trafford despite their loss to Leeds, but their poor recent record at Stamford Bridge makes this difficult to call, so we're sitting on the fence - predicting a draw that doesn't particularly suit either side.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Sunderland
Aston Villa's Premier League form has been something of a worry in recent weeks, with Unai Emery's side winning just two of their last nine, but strong Europa League showings and a comfortable win over West Ham in March do suggest they're capable of regaining some momentum. Sunderland's victory over Spurs last week made it back-to-back wins for the Black Cats, and their sights are suddenly set on sneaking into the top seven, but with Villa having a real point to prove, we're backing the hosts to edge a tight affair.
Prediction: Everton 1-1 Liverpool
After being dumped out of the Champions League by PSG, Liverpool's sole focus now is to stay inside the top five of the Premier League - but they're unlikely to have it all their own way at the Hill Dickinson. Everton themselves have genuine aspirations of securing European football, and with just one defeat in five, they come into the weekend in positive mood. Goodison Park's last Merseyside Derby was a cracking 2-2 draw, and while we aren't anticipating the fireworks of that night, we do think the spoils will be shared once again.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-0 Burnley
Nottingham Forest were perhaps fortunate to take a point off Villa last week, but it was another point on the road to Premier League survival, and they shouldn't have any problems picking up all three against a Burnley side with just one league win since October. Vitor Pereira's team haven't lost in the league since March 1, but they also haven't won a Premier League game at the City Ground since December, so Burnley will arrive with a glimmer of hope - however, we are predicting a routine home win for Forest.
Prediction: Man City 2-1 Arsenal
Arsenal scraped through into the Champions League semi-finals, but with a tired performance and real lack of attacking threat, we fear for the league leaders at the Etihad this weekend. City are starting to put together one of their classic runs of form, and with Pep Guardiola's side knowing that a win takes them just three points behind the Gunners - with a game in hand - we're backing the hosts to show their class and grab all three points in the biggest game of the Premier League season.
Crystal Palace vs West Ham bet builder tips
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 West Ham
Monday night brings us a London derby between Palace and West Ham, and with the Irons fighting for their lives in the breathless relegation scrap, we're predicting an eye-catching away win - with Palace losing just their second league game since February. The Eagles have very little left to play for in the league, and with West Ham actually winning on three of their last five visits to Selhurst Park, we're tipping Nuno's Hammers to clinch another crucial three points.
