Arsenal host Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend in a game that could have a major bearing on who secures a coveted Champions League spot for next season.

Third-placed Tottenham, now realistically out of the title race, are just five points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea as the finishing line comes into sight.

Leaders Manchester City host Watford and Liverpool welcome Burnley to Anfield, while Spurs visit Southampton and Chelsea entertain Wolves.

AFP Sport picks out some of the main talking points ahead of this weekend's Premier League fixtures.

Will fixture pile-up and injuries cost City?
============================================
Will Klopp trust Shaqiri?
=========================
"He's still our fourth top scorer behind the front three. We're not getting goals from all over the place and he would give us another threat." Lethal Lukaku
==============
Lukaku has improved his shot conversion rate under Solskjaer and has given United an extra goal threat, either down the right or in the middle. Kane hunts Golden Boot
======================
With three goals in four games in all competitions since he returned from injury, Kane will fancy his chances against struggling Southampton. Arsenal's last big test?
