We’re very much at the business end of the season, here

With just 12 rounds of EPL fixtures left to play, the season starts its hectic run-in schedule to separate the men from the boys.
Coming up this weekend are games with far-reaching consequences at both ends of the table. This is the Premier League: Whether it’s the race for the title, the top four, or to avoid relegation, we are never short of entertainment. Here’s what is coming our way on Saturday.
EPL Fixtures for Saturday 10 February
Tottenham Hotspur V Arsenal, 14:30
Just look at that beauty to start the day. The North London derby heads to Wembley and will be played in front of more than 80,000 fans. Spurs go into the game on the back of a dramatic point earned at Anfield, with one of the craziest endings ever seen in an EPL game. They are just one point off fourth-place Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Arsenal looked sumptuous against Everton last weekend. Inspired by Rihanna, the Gunners shined bright like diamonds to claim a 5-1 victory, and rejuvenate their push for a Champions League spot.
Everton V Crystal Palace, 17:00
The Sam Allardyce derby, perhaps? Big Sam was lauded by Palace fans for guiding them to safety last year, but he quit at the end of the season. He’s now in charge of Everton, where a mixed bag of results has hardly endeared him to the fans. Palace are three points off of relegation, but can jump into the top half with a win.
Stoke City V Brighton and Hove Albion, 17:00
Both sides are in desperate need of victory as they languish at the bottom of the table. Brighton may be in 13th place, but a loss to 18th place Stoke would see both teams level on 27 points. It’s ridiculously tight at the the bottom – 9th and 19th position are separated by just seven points.
Swansea City V Burnley, 17:00
Fresh from brutalising minnows Notts County in the FA Cup this week, a reborn Swansea side will be looking to fire themselves further up the table, after escaping the bottom three. Burnely are looking to reverse a run of form that’s seen them fail to win in 2018.
West Ham United V Watford, 17:00
The second London derby of the day takes place at the Olympic Stadium. West Ham have steadied their ship under David Moyes, and Watford have found their feet under new boss Javi Gracia. With both sides next to each other in the table, it’s not easy to predict how this one will finish.
Manchester City V Leicester City, 19:30
Surely this is just Manchester City’s victory procession, now? They are 13 points clear at gameweek 26, and Pep’s men simply aren’t capable of a meltdown big enough to cost them the league. Leicester will be looking to repeat their heroics from 2016, when they won 3-1 at the Etihad on their way to an unlikely title triumph.
How likely is each team to win their EPL fixtures?
