Premier League Predictions: The title race takes another twist as Spurs continue to gather steam

Briefly

"After Manchester City were held by Everton, Arsenal are now in a superb position to claim their first Premier League title since the 'Invincibles' season of 2003-04. Meanwhile, at the other end, Tottenham now have a slight edge over West Ham after stunning Aston Villa last Sunday. As such, the defining game of this weekend's round of fixtures is likely to be at the London Stadium, where West Ham host leaders Arsenal on Sunday."

"City will hope to pile pressure on the Gunners by beating European hopefuls Brentford on Saturday. Liverpool kick off the weekend's action at Anfield as they host slumping Chelsea in a game that could see the Reds clinch Champions League football for next season. There are a host of other games with implications in the fight for Europe across the weekend, before a Monday clash between Tottenham and Leeds United in which Spurs will look to further their new-found momentum in the fight against the drop."

"Liverpool v Chelsea (12:30pm) The Blues finally ended their goalscoring drought with Joao Pedro's remarkable strike in consolation in their 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Monday. That was the lone bright spot from a dismal performance by Chelsea, who are unlikely to end their losing run at Anfield. Liverpool are another side who will be keen for this season to come to an end. The Reds are dealing with several injuries and coming off a largely underwhelming showing in their 3-2 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford."
