This Saturday could be a pivotal day in the Premier League title race, with both Arsenal and Manchester City both in action.
The Gunners are seven points clear of the Cityzens, albeit having played a game more, and face Everton at home while their title rivals travel to West Ham United.
Another pivotal match in the race for Champions League places sees Chelsea host Newcastle United, while the latter's North East rivals Sunderland welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Stadium of Light and relegation-threatened Burnley play host to Bournemouth.

Today's Premier League betting tips and predictions
Sunderland vs Brighton and Hove Albion (15:00)
Sunderland's impressive season is in danger of fizzling out and they need a lift when Brighton and Hove Albion come calling in the Premier League.

Tip 1: BTTS no
Neither side have been scoring freely of late and with the last meeting ending without a goal it could pay to bet against thrills in this one.
Under 2.5 goals only pays 4/5 at Bet365 but betting against BTTS is better at 19/20.
Tip 2: Half-time draw
The half-time draw also stands a good chance and that's priced at 11/10.
Tip 3: Omar Alderete to be carded
Sunderland stopper Omar Alderete doesn't hold back and has picked up five yellows this season. The Paraguayan is 3/1 at Bet365 to go into the book again.
Burnley vs AFC Bournemouth (15:00)
Bournemouth will look to continue their push towards European qualification on Saturday as they travel to Turf Moor to take on relegation-threatened Burnley.

Tip 1: AFC Bournemouth to Win
Bournemouth come into this clash as favourites to continue their fine run of form, with bet365 pricing an away success at 5/6.
Tip 2: AFC Bournemouth to Score Over 1.5 Goals
Bournemouth are amongst the highest away-scorers in the Premier League this season, firing in 23 goals across their opening 14 road trips.
The Cherries have scored 2+ goals in eight (57%) of those away matches – including in five of their last eight – and should possess too much firepower for their struggling hosts.
Tip 3: Marcus Tavernier to Score or Assist
Marcus Tavernier has had another impressive season for Bournemouth, scoring six goals and providing four assists across his opening 26 appearances for the Cherries this term.
The ex-Middlesbrough attacker has provided a goal contribution in four of his previous six appearances for Bournemouth, and the 7/5 on offer at bet365 for him to Score or Assist appeals to me.

Arsenal will look to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League table as they welcome away-day specialists Everton to the Emirates on Saturday Night Football.

Tip 1: Arsenal to Win & Under 3.5 Goals
Sandwiched between their Champions League last-16 tie with Bayer Leverkusen, this has the potential to be a tricky fixture for Arsenal, especially given Everton’s impressive away form.
However, the Toffees have an abysmal record away at Arsenal, and I’m backing the Gunners to edge a low-scoring encounter.
Under 3.5 Goals has landed in eight of Arsenal’s previous 10 Premier League victories at the Emirates – as well as in the reverse fixture in December – and a repeat pays an appealing 10/11 at bet365.
Tip 2: Viktor Gyokeres to Score or Assist
Viktor Gyokeres was the hero in the reverse fixture in December, as his first-half penalty was enough to secure all three points.
The Swedish international also has eight goals and two assists across his previous 15 appearances for the Gunners, and he is an appealing 4/5 at bet365 to Score or Assist at the Emirates on Saturday.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United (17:30)
Chelsea and Newcastle United square off in a potentially-pivotal Premier League fixture on Saturday evening.

Tip 1: Both teams to score
Newcastle have scored and conceded in their last 13 matches in all competitions, whereas Chelsea have done the same across their most recent five fixtures.
Tip 2: Newcastle to win and both teams to score
Chelsea have dropped 19 points from winning positions in the Premier League, 17 of which have come at Stamford Bridge.
Tip 3: Newcastle to win (draw no bet)
Three of Chelsea's last five Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge have ended in draws. One of their two wins came through overturning a 2-0 half-time deficit against West Ham United.
Two of Newcastle's three Premier League away wins have come in their last five such outings, against Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur respectively. Their two defeats during that time came at Liverpool and Manchester City.
West Ham United vs Manchester City (20:00)
Manchester City will be desperate to get their Premier League title bid back on track when they face West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday night.
Click here to read our full expert preview for this match
Tip 1: Over 2.5 Goals
Siding with over 2.5 goals at the London Stadium on Saturday night catches the eye at 4/5 on bet365.
18 of West Ham’s 29 Premier League matches this season have produced at least three match strikes, including nine of their 14 assignments on home soil.
Adding further weight to this selection is the fact that five of Man City’s last six top-flight fixtures have also featured over 2.5 goals.
Tip 2: Antoine Semenyo To Score or Assist
With an impressive return of five goals and one assist across his eight Premier League appearances since joining Manchester City, Antoine Semenyo offers value to register another goal involvement at the London Stadium on Saturday night at 20/21 on bet365.
Tip 3: Taty Castellanos To Commit 2+ Fouls
Taty Castellanos has committed two or more fouls in seven of his nine Premier League appearances for West Ham, making a repeat this weekend worthy of support at 4/5 on bet365.
