Southampton vs Fulham

Predicted outcome: Southampton win - 37%, draw - 26%, Fulham win - 38%

Predicted outcome: Arsenal win - 53%, draw - 20%, Brighton win - 26%

Arsenal remain in the chase for top spot along with Manchester City and simply need to win to keep up with Pep Guardiola’s side. The Gunners won away at Newcastle United in their last outing.

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest

Chelsea will be desperate for this campaign to end now and take on a Nottingham Forest outfit that are fighting for their lives. The Reds won 4-3 at home against Southampton on Monday.

Predicted outcome: Brentford win - 42%, draw - 25%, West Ham win - 33%

London pair Brentford and West Ham lock horns. The Hammers are pretty much safe now which is a relief for David Moyes.
