Title rivals Arsenal and Manchester City are set to meet in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, which means only eight games, but fans won't be short of edge-of-their-seat action.
Each week, Radio Times Sport Editor Michael Potts and Sport Writer Ned Holmes present their Premier League predictions, including a selection for Upset of the Week, because football isn't played on paper after all.
Premier League predictions this weekend – Matchweek 31
Bournemouth v Man Utd (8pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
MP: Man Utd 2-0 win. A wobble against Newcastle has been quickly forgotten following a terrific win against Aston Villa that has secured United in third place for now. Bournemouth are lacking a killer touch at the moment, goals have been hard to come by, and United will be determined to make the most of their new-found scoring touch on the south coast.
Saturday 21 March
NH: 2-1 Liverpool win. Arne Slot and Liverpool really needed their midweek victory against Galatasaray, which has eased the pressure on them after a difficult few weeks. The Reds won't have it easy away at a Brighton side that are back on song but they have the quality to come away with three points.
MP: 1-1 draw. Neither side is easy to predict with each of them prone to a stumble or a masterclass out of the blue. Liverpool played very well during midweek but they've lacked intensity in the Premier League. I could see the Seagulls, who have won three of their last four, holding out.
NH: 2-0 Fulham win. It's fair to say Fulham have not capitalised on a run of games against teams floundering down the bottom of the Premier League, though Saturday's visit from Burnley may prove an exception. The Clarets are heading for relegation and a defeat at Craven Cottage will help them on their way.
Everton v Chelsea (5:30pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
MP: 2-1 Chelsea win. Liam Rosenior is demonstrating the perils of taking over a team in the middle of a season. He's a great coach and could yet prove to be a terrific Chelsea boss, but he needs a clean slate and a pre-season to fully integrate himself in this club. Everton never quite seem to win the game that would take them to 'the next level' so expect Chelsea to find a way here.
NH: 1-1 draw. Leeds have been unlucky in recent weeks but need to start winning games to stay, while Brentford are struggling a little to maintain the momentum that has them pushing for European football. Though both teams would love all three points to add to their cause, they'll have to settle for just one.
MP: 2-1 Brentford win. Both teams have stalled, but only one is in true danger. Leeds enjoyed a fruitful winter period but the goals from Dominic Calvert Lewin have dried up and wins are scarce. Brentford have toiled in recent outings, but they should get back on track here to pile the pressure on Daniel Farke.
Sunday 22 March
NH: 1-0 Sunderland win. The first Tyne-Wear derby at St James' Park in a decade will be quite the occasion but on the pitch, it might be one for those who prefer their football physical and cagey. The reverse fixture was decided by an own-goal and, with both sides desperate not to lose, we may see something similar play out on Sunday. The Black Cats' extra rest may just tilt the scales in their favour.
Tottenham v Nottingham Forest (2:15pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
MP: 2-2 draw. What a scrap this could be. It's tempting to believe that Spurs may be back on the rails following a spirited draw against Liverpool and victory over Atletico Madrid, but in reality, they should've won that game against the Reds and the tie against Madrid was virtually over before the second leg started. This is the match you'll learn whether Spurs have the guts to survive. A proper relegation six-pointer.
NH 2-2 draw. Aston Villa found form against Lille on Thursday but their dodgy domestic form may just strike again on Sunday. West Ham are fighting for their Premier League lives and have found some momentum, which was clear in last weekend's draw with Man City. The Hammers have players that can hurt opposition teams – a fact that Villa may discover firsthand on Sunday.
