Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace — Etihad Stadium, 12:30 PM
In an early kickoff, Manchester City will take on Crystal Palace in an attempt to improve on their recent patchy play. There is pressure on Pep Guardiola’s team to get closer in the race for Champions League qualification. With defensive problems brought on by suspensions, Crystal Palace, currently in mid-table, will try to break City’s rhythm with counter attacking play.
Arsenal vs. Brentford — Emirates Stadium, 5:30 PMÂ
With momentum on their side, Arsenal will take on Brentford after defeating Real Madrid 3-0 on the road in the Champions League. Before the second leg of the UCL, manager Mikel Arteta might decide to rotate his team. Brentford has shown itself to be a resilient team despite their injury woes, and they will be looking to take advantage of any signs of weariness in the Gunners’ lineup.
Brighton vs. Leicester City — Amex Stadium, 3:00 PMÂ
When Brighton takes on a struggling Leicester City team that has lost six straight games, they will be itching to get back to winning ways. While Leicester is battling to keep from falling further into relegation danger, Roberto De Zerbi’s team is hoping to rekindle their push for a European spot.
Nottingham Forest vs. Everton — City Ground, 3:00 PMÂ
The match between Nottingham Forest and Everton is a real relegation six-pointer because both teams are lingering near the bottom of the table. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin out, Everton’s problems persist, while Forest is dealing with a number of offensive injury concerns. The result might have a big impact on survival chances.
Southampton vs. Aston Villa — St. Mary’s Stadium, 3:00 PM BST
On the road, Aston Villa will take on Southampton, a team that has lost their last six Premier League games. Flynn Downes is suspended, so the Saints will be without him. Villa will try to take advantage of this and keep up their recent success as they aim to qualify for Europe.
With the league experiencing intense competition, today’s games are set to produce significant talking points and upend the standings ahead of the season’s last stretch.
