Liverpool appear to have the Premier League title wrapped up with a 13-point advantage over second-placed Leicester but the fight to avoid relegation looks like being a down to the wire tussle.
Just nine points separates ninth-placed Crystal Palace and third from bottom Aston Villa.
Here AFP Sport picks out three pivotal matches in Wednesday's action:
Arteta needs to get Gunners firing ==================================
Hammers pray Moyes delivers in second coming
============================================
"I feel like I've got unfinished business."
Watford's revival faces stern Wolves test =========================================
Pearson for his part will be looking for more of the same of what he witnessed against Villa: "We showed good intensity. We showed incredible unity on the pitch and bench. We have to make sure that remains high on our agenda -- to keep the players together."
