After the international break for the last couple of weeks, the focus now switches back to domestic and European competition for teams in the Premier League, with a clear run through from now until the end of the season in May.
While it is likely that Manchester City will claim the Premier League title at some point in the next couple of weeks (wins in their next two games at Everton and then at home to Manchester United will confirm them as Champions) there is still plenty to play for at both ends of the table with the race for Champions League places as well as the battle against relegation and both of these could well go down to the wire.

Big Match Previews and Tips
Crystal Palace v Liverpool
Liverpool will know this is a must win game, but they don’t have the best of records at Selhurst Park over the years and Jurgen Klopp will know that with Crystal Palace desperate for points too, this is going to be a real test of his sides top four credentials.
Palace, while not in the relegation zone, are worryingly close and they will know that home games are where they need to secure their safety. They have produced some good performances against top sides of late at home and Liverpool are unlikely to find it easy against a Palace side that will be keen to put one over the Reds again and who boast a number of former Reds players,.
I think 6/1 on Palace to win at home is a fantastic price, especially against a Liverpool side that doesn’t really perform well after an international break, but I think a the Reds will be up for this game knowing it could move them temporarily into second in the table. Hence I think I have found a better option bet.
Tip: Liverpool to win and both teams to score – 15/8 with Coral
Everton v Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s men can take themselves to just one win away from the Premier League title with victory at Goodison Park on Saturday evening, but this is a game which historically, Manchester City have not enjoyed the best of results in.
Indeed, Everton are the only team in the Premier League to have taken anything away from their clash with City on the road, earning a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium in August, albeit City played most of that game with 10-men after Kyle Walker’s controversial sending off.
This fixture is the start of a massive period of games for City with matches with Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham in the Premier League punctuated with their two Champions League quarterfinal ties with Liverpool. A win to start things off is vital for City, who have looked a little shaky in several away games in recent times.
Tip – Manchester City to win and both teams to score – 2/1 with Coral
Chelsea v Tottenham
Perhaps the biggest game of the weekend comes at Stamford Bridge with fifth-place Chelsea hosting fourth placed Tottenham in a game that could well go a very long way towards deciding who the top four teams in the Premier League will be this season. A win for Spurs puts themselves, Liverpool and Manchester United well clear of Chelsea, while a win for the home side pulls back three of the five point gap between Spurs and Chelsea as it stands.
As such, this is a massive game for Chelsea, but there is no doubt that all is not well at Stamford Bridge. Antonio Conte has had the look of a haunted man for the past few months and some of the recent form for Chelsea is very poor indeed. In contrast Spurs have been in superb form, with their one slip up coming in that loss to Juventus in the Champions League.
Chelsea won at Wembley earlier in the season to stun Spurs, but I can see a reversal of fortune here at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. I think Spurs are in form, a better side and far better motivated than Chelsea and given their odds, they are an outstanding bet to win this one.
Tip – Tottenham to win 21/10
