There are just a handful of Premier League games being played this weekend, with many teams playing in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Tottenham welcome West Ham in standout fixture

The biggest game of the weekend sees Tottenham take on West Ham, as both clubs continue their push for European football next season.

Antonio Conte’s side sit seventh while David Moyes’ team are sixth and only ahead of their London rivals on goal difference.

A win for either side would see them rise into fifth and just one point away from the top four, depending on Arsenal’s result.

Aston Villa host Arsenal

The Gunners travel to Villa Park for their clash against Aston Villa, looking to maintain their push for a Champions League spot.

The visitors have improved dramatically over the course of the season, while Villa have struggled to maintain any solid form and only just sit in the top half of the league.

Leicester City face Brentford

Another side who have struggled is Leicester City, who find themselves 12th in the table.

The Foxes take on Brentford in what could turn out to be a huge game in the battle for relegation, with the Bees sat just eight points above the bottom three.

Relegation-threatened Leeds travel to Wolves

Finally, there’s another big game in the battle for survival as 16th-placed Leeds United play Wolves.

Leeds are just four points clear of the relegation zone but have started to improve under new manager Jesse Marsch, while their opponents are comfortably eighth in the league.

Elsewhere in the FA Cup…

In the FA cup, Chelsea play Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace host Everton, Manchester City travel to Southampton and Nottingham Forest look to overcome Liverpool.
