The wait for Premier League football is over! The top flight returns after an extended hiatus and offers up four days of thrilling fixtures across the weekend.
Due to the international break and FA Cup quarter-finals, it's been three weeks without any action from the best league in the world.
On Saturday, all eyes will be on leaders Arsenal as they look to put a recent wobble behind them and close in on a first title in 20 years.
But surely the biggest game of the weekend comes from Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, when Chelsea host second-place Man City.
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.
How many picks will they get right in Matchweek 32?
Premier League predictions this weekend – Matchweek 32
West Ham v Wolves (8pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
NH: 2-1 Wolves win. Wolves aren't dead and buried just yet. Surviving the drop feels too much to ask but Rob Edwards' side may delay it with a victory at the London Stadium. Last weekend's FA Cup exit was a tough one to take and West Ham could feel the pressure in front of their home support, particularly if they go behind early.
MP: 1-0 West Ham win. Wolves are the form team, but if West Ham can't get up for a clash with the bottom team in the division, Nuno Espírito Santo's former club no less, they don't deserve to stay up. No excuses.
Saturday 11 April
Arsenal v Bournemouth (12:30pm) TNT Sports 1
NH: 2-0 Arsenal win. Tuesday's late victory at Sporting will have calmed the nerves for Arsenal and they can move one step closer to the title by snapping Bournemouth's unbeaten run. It may not be pretty but at this stage of the season, it's only the points that count and they'll get them against the Cherries, who have been short of goals of late.
MP: 1-0 Arsenal win. Crisis? What crisis? Arsenal have won four in a row in the Premier League and whatever the doomsayers may want you to believe, their title bid has rarely looked so rosy. They will find it tough against a good unit, but they will grind out another good result.
Burnley v Brighton (3pm) Not televised
NH: 3-1 Brighton win. Time is running out for Burnley. Scott Parker's side need victories now if they are to stay up and that will surely mean a more attacking game plan, which may play into the visitors' hands. Brighton have run hot and cold this season. They'll continue their sizzling run at Turf Moor.
MP: 2-1 Brighton win. Brighton have been lacklustre for most of the campaign but they're the form team in the mid-table mire and have timed their run beautifully going into the home stretch. Victory here would place them firmly in the mix for a European spot.
Brentford v Everton (3pm) Not televised
NH: 1-1 draw. The two Premier League disruptors are well matched, while both managers favour a structured setup and direct attack. That may mean they cancel each other out at the Gtech Community Stadium, with a point apiece for the two European hopefuls.
MP: 1-1 draw. A gritty draw is precisely what the rest of the teams around them would love to see play out at the Gtech Community Stadium this weekend. Brentford have drawn three in a row, while Everton have produced three wins in their last four.
Liverpool v Fulham (5:30pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
NH: 2-1 Fulham win. UPSET OF THE WEEK. A bad week for Liverpool could be about to get even worse. The Reds' softness has been exposed by both Man City and PSG. They may not be at that level but Fulham will arrive at Anfield with plans to attack them, which could pile more pressure on Arne Slot.
MP: 2-1 Fulham win. UPSET OF THE WEEK. Nope, this isn't a 'CTRL + C, CTRL + V' gone wrong. It seems easy to pile on Liverpool at the moment, but they were run ragged by PSG during midweek. Of course, that was PSG and this weekend's opponents are Fulham, but this was not a one-off.
Sunday 12 April
Crystal Palace v Newcastle (2pm) Sky Sports+
NH: 1-0 Newcastle win. It's been an underwhelming campaign for both Crystal Palace and Newcastle, who are playing catch-up in the race for European spots. The Eagles have a big game on Thursday, which nudges the scales in the visitors' favour and could kill off their hopes of surging into the top half.
MP: 1-1 draw. Newcastle have enjoyed a three-week break following European and domestic cup exits, but they should be desperate to get back out there following a last-ditch gut-punch in the Tyne-Wear derby. The problem is... will they be? The Magpies haven't looked motivated all season in the Premier League and may just want this season out of the way.
Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa (2pm) Sky Sports Premier League
NH: 2-1 Aston Villa win. There will be some tired legs at The City Ground, with both clubs in Europa League action on Thursday night. Aston Villa look to have rediscovered their best ahead of the international break and should have too much for a Nottingham Forest side that are fighting for their Premier League future.
MP: 2-1 Nottingham Forest win. Forest have recorded some excellent results in recent weeks and will sense a major opportunity to propel themselves away from the danger zone here. Aston Villa will have relished the rest, but relegation battles do strange things to teams. Forest would take a huge stride towards survival with a win.
Sunderland v Tottenham (2pm) Sky Sports Main Event
NH: 2-2 draw. This has the makings of a proper barnstormer. Things are never boring when Roberto De Zerbi is around and the Italian coach needs a fast start at Spurs but faces many of the same issues that proved too much for his predecessors. Expect twists and turns at the Stadium of Light against a Sunderland team with renewed confidence.
MP: 1-0 Sunderland win. Roberto De Zerbi is the manager you hire after growing tired of an effective pragmatist at the helm. He's an intense, attack-first coach who could do a tremendous job with most clubs given a pre-season to feed his methods into the team – and signings to suit his style. I can't help but feel De Zerbi is the right man at the wrong time. He faces an enormous task to shape a ragged squad in his image, while Sunderland, rested and fresh, know exactly how to grind out results.
Chelsea v Man City (4:30pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
NH: 3-0 Man City win. Man City's 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool last Saturday was ominous – both for leaders Arsenal and the rest of the Premier League. Chelsea could be the next victim for Pep Guardiola's side, who have clicked back into gear and can barely afford to put a foot wrong in the title race. The Blues put seven past Port Vale themselves but have had some glaring defensive vulnerabilities under Liam Rosenior, which may well be exposed again on Sunday.
MP: 2-0 Man City win. There has been nowhere near enough said about Chelsea and Manchester City's participation in the Club World Cup last summer. Both clubs barely had time to rest and prepare, and this is the stage of the season where the former is likely to bite hard. The Blues are coming off the rails, they're struggling with injuries and disciplinary issues, while City are clinging onto title hopes.
Monday 13 April
Man Utd v Leeds (8pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier League
NH: 3-1 Man Utd win. Clashes between these two historic rivals rarely disappoint. Man Utd will be well rested after three weeks off and are full of confidence after Michael Carrick's turnaround. Leeds can feel unfortunate to be so close to the bottom three but while they may hand the Red Devils a scare, the hosts will prevail.
MP: 2-0 Man Utd win. Stepping back, if they survive, it will be down to a single run of Dominic Calvert-Lewin form, rather than any sort of consistent quality across the season. They lack a killer touch, while United have increasingly discovered an edge of their own as the season has progressed.
