There is a full Premier League schedule in midweek, including a certain match at the Etihad you might have heard about.
Beyond that potential title showdown, there is a big “Six-Pointer” at Elland Road, while Southampton face arguably a must-win match after their draw with Arsenal.
The latest interim Tottenham manager faces a difficult start, while the race for the European places continues at Villa Park, London Stadium and The City Ground.
Here is i’s rundown of all 10 Premier League matches, plus where and when to watch each game…
Tuesday 25 April
Wolves vs Crystal Palace – 7.30pm kick-off, BT Sport 3 from 7.15pm
Wolves’ run of seven points from three games was halted when losing at Leicester, but still they look set to join Crystal Palace in the realm of mid-table safety.
Six points separate Wolves from the relegation zone, but win on Tuesday and they can move level with Palace on 37 points – a tally surely enough to stay up.
Aston Villa vs Fulham – 7.45pm kick-off, BT Sport 2 from 7.15pm
Fortunes have changed for these two sides as the season has progressed, and now it is Aston Villa with European ambitions under Unai Emery.
Fulham have however who their last two games, and head to Villa Park with confidence as they look to do the double over Villa – victory in the reverse fixture was Steven Gerrard’s last match as Villa boss.
Leeds vs Leicester – 8pm kick-off, BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate from 7pm
Arguably the pick of the Tuesday matches is a relegation ding-dong at Elland Road. Leeds are 16th, while Leicester jumped to 17th with victory over Wolves on the weekend.
Three points here and one side will take a huge step towards safety.
Premier League table
Wednesday 26 April
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton – 7.30pm kick-off, BT Sport 4 from 7.15pm
Winless in 11, since a 5 February win over Leeds, Nottingham Forest are the league’s most out-of-form team and can ill-afford for this run to continue.
In Brighton, they face a side smarting from their FA Cup semi-final exit, with the Seagulls also in a strong position to finish fifth if they capitalise on their games in hand.
West Ham vs Liverpool – 7.45pm kick-off, BT Sport 2 from 7.15pm
Seven points from their last three games, plus a game in hand over those below them, mean West Ham could well have put their relegation fears behind them.
They will likely need another win, though, and the Hammers will look to check Liverpool’s progress of late – the Reds winning their last two to improve their chances of Europa League football next season.
Chelsea vs Brentford – 7.45pm kick-off, BT Sport 3 from 7.15pm
It has been a while since both Chelsea and Brentford won a Premier League game. Chelsea are winless in five and sit 11th, five points behind Brentford who themselves are winless in six and have seen there European ambitions take a hit as a result.
This one is tough to call, but pressure is on Chelsea not to lose the mini-West London battle, one that Fulham are currently winning.
Man City vs Arsenal – 8pm kick-off, BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate from 7pm
Not much to say about this one. Top of the table travels to second, the biggest Premier League match of the season, master hosts apprentice, an Arsenal side who have drawn their last three games somehow needing a result at Manchester City, who have won their last six league games on the spin and have the treble within their sights.
Yeah… It’s a biggun.
Thursday 27 April
Everton vs Newcastle – 7.45pm kick-off, BT Sport 2 from 7.15pm
The mood could hardly be more different within these respective camps. Everton have just slipped into the relegation zone and have a tough set of fixtures to end the campaign.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are flying high after demolishing Spurs and are close to sealing Champions League football for next season. That points the outcome of this match in one direction, but this is football, after all…
Southampton vs Bournemouth – 7.45pm kick-off, BT Sport 3 from 7.15pm
Southampton may have deserved their point at Arsenal but wins are needed to avoid becoming the first relegated team this season.
Four adrift of safety, they will look to drag Bournemouth back into the scrap, the Cherries having won three of their last five to open up a five-point gap between them and Everton in 18th.
Tottenham vs Man Utd – 8.15pm kick-off, BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate from 7pm
So long Cristian Stellini – now it’s Ryan Mason as interim after the previous interim was sacked.
Mason’s first task is to reignite Spurs’ slim top-four hopes against the side currently sitting fourth, with Manchester United also having two games in hand on top of a six-point advantage.
