The real action kicks off on Saturday morning (AEDT) as Leicester look to get back to winning ways when they travel to Norwich.
Elsewhere, Chelsea hopes to consolidate their spot in the top four against Bournemouth, while Wolves host Tottenham in a match that could prove pivotal in the race for European qualification.

After getting off to a flying start to the season the Foxes have limped to just three wins in their past 11 Premier League fixtures, slipping from eight to 29 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Brendan Rodgers has failed to cover the absence of holding midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, with clean sheets coming at an absolute premium.

The FA has stitched us Aussies up with the least anticipated footballing fixture since the Socceroos took on American Samoa in 2001, as Brighton host Palace in the prime-time 10:30 pm (AEST) slot.
Both sides meander into this fixture off the back of one win during the last eight weeks.
With neither side putting a strong case forward for victory, the Draw represents exceptional value at $3.10.
The Blues return to league action following a 0-3 humbling at the hands of German giants Bayern Munich in the UCL.
Chelsea has struggled to find any sort of continuity under Frank Lampard, with the inexperience of the young squad and manager proving problematic.

If you hadn’t already nodded off during the Brighton v Palace fixture, then this match will drop you faster than a bottle of Ambien.
Newcastle’s form has been nothing short of atrocious, with a single win in their last ten starts – so one can only wonder how they enter this clash as the bookies’ favourite.
Alternatively, Burnley are playing their socks off, undefeated in five with four wins and a draw.
The Clarets’ second-string strikers, Rodriguez and Vydra, have stepped up in the absence of Wood and Barnes and should cash in once again on the weekend.
West Ham is on a six-game winless streak, leaving them sitting a point inside the relegation zone with nine games to play.
The Hammers blew over 110 million Euros in the transfer market this season, in what can only be described as the worst investment since I purchased heavily in Blockbuster Video shares back in 2009.

The Saints have been particularly impressive on the road this season, with six wins and two draws from their 13 away fixtures and should prove too hot for the Hammers to handle.

Match of the round materialises when United travel to the Merseyside to take on the Toffees.
Both sides have been enjoying a healthy run of form with United keeping three clean sheets on the trot, while Everton has only lost two from their last 12 matches.
Bruno Fernandes has reinvigorated Ole’s squad since arriving from Sporting Lisbon, producing two assists and a goal in his first three league matches.
Ancelotti has instilled his young Toffees side with an attacking minded team ethos, imploring his players to spread the ball quickly and hit fast on the counter.

Things Tottenham Hotspur FC are without:
– Harry Kane
– Heung-Min Son
– A hope
The Spurs have their work cut out for them here. With both his top to goal scorers out for the majority of the season, Jose will have to lean on new signing Steven Bergwijn shoulder the attacking load.
Diogo Jota is riding a purple patch of form at the moment, scoring five goals in his last two matches to help the Wolves to two straight victories across the Europa and Premier Leagues.
Unlike Jose, Nuno Santo has a fully fit squad at his disposal and has no excuses not to find a result against the Spurs this weekend.
