EPL Fixtures: Everything you need to know about this weekend’s Premier League action

Brace yourselves for days and days of Premier League action with hardly any time to recover in between match weeks. We bring you all the details for the next 10 games as the season reaches its business end.

Premier League fixtures on Saturday, 14  April

All kick off times are SAST.

Southampton v Chelsea

The Saints and the Blues kick off the weekend’s action. Chelsea, who have lost sight of a top-four spot trailing Spurs by 10 points, will look to continue fastening their grip over Southampton who they have beaten in their last four Premier League games.

Kick-off: 13:30

Burnley v Leicester City

Seventh-placed Burnley are in line to clinch a fifth consecutive victory when they welcome the Foxes. The Clarets last achieved this feat in 1968 and although Leicester won their last encounter in December, the hosts will fancy their chances after coming from behind to beat Newcastle United last weekend.

Kick-off: 16:00

Crystal Palace v Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton will be well aware of Palace’s prowess when it comes to set-pieces. A total of 15 from 33 goals have come from dead-ball situations for the Eagles, the highest proportion in the league. Both teams will be desperate for a win following draws last weekend, Brighton sharing the spoils with Huddersfield, 1-1, and Palace with Bournemouth, 2-2.

Kick-off: 16:00

Huddersfield Town v Watford

The fight to beat the drop continues when 16th placed Huddersfield host the Hornets. The hosts are living dangerously and are only four points away from the relegation zone. Matters won’t be any easier for Watford who are targeting their first away goal under manager Javier Gracia in five matches.

Kick-off: 16:00

Swansea City v Everton

Swansea, like Huddersfield on 32 points, are looking to distance themselves from the bottom three starting with Southampton on 28. Everton, meanwhile, will rely on talisman Wayne Rooney to further his involvement with at least four goals and five assists against the Swans in his last eight matches.

Kick-off: 16:00

Liverpool v AFC Bournemouth

Life can’t get any better for the Reds right now after thumping log leaders City twice within six days during their Champions League quarterfinal. Liverpool are also unbeaten in 18 Premier League home matches, the longest current run in the competition. The Cherries will want to bounce back from their 4-0 thumping the last time these two met.

Kick-off:18:30

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Third-placed Spurs will be licking their lips as they welcome a battered Manchester City to Wembley Stadium. They have only lost one of their last five Premier League meetings with City, and have won the last two matches. But Spurs did lose 4-1 at the Etihad in December and now would be the perfect time to rub even more salt in the visitor’s wounds.

Kick-off: 20:45

Premier League fixtures on Sunday, 15  April

Newcastle United v Arsenal

The Gunners have won their last 10 matches against Newcastle and can equal their longest winning streak in the competition. Tenth-placed Newcastle will be buoyed by their comeback victory against Leicester away last weekend.

Kick-off: 14:30

Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion

Second-placed United welcome bottom-of-the-log dwellers West Brom who have only managed three wins this season. United are on a winning streak stretching five games with the comeback win over City still fresh in the memory banks.

Kick-off: 17:00

Premier League fixtures on Monday, 16 April

West Ham United v Stoke City

Only seven points separate the 14th placed Hammers from Stoke City, who are second last on 27 points. West Ham’s Javier Hernandez did well to equalise against Chelse at Stamford Bridge last weekend and are on course for a league double over the Potters following their 3-0 win late last year.

Kick-off: 21:00
