Brentford vs. Everton (Wednesday, 7.30pm)
In-form sides Brentford and Everton go head-to-head at the Gtech Community Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Brentford enjoyed a thumping 4-0 win over Leicester City on Friday to bolster their chances of European football, while Everton were impressive once again despite failing to see out their clash with Manchester United the following day.
We say: Brentford 1-1 Everton
Moyes has won both away games since taking charge of Everton against challenging mid-table opponents, and Brentford will provide a similar test, with the hosts now dreaming of Europe.
A win for either side would be important in moving them up the table, but it is a very tough game to call, with both in excellent form, and a draw could well be the most likely outcome.

Nott'm Forest vs. Arsenal (Wednesday, 7.30pm)
After suffering potentially the biggest blow yet to their hopes of Premier League glory, Arsenal bid to keep their increasingly thin chances alive when they tackle high-flying Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Wednesday.
The Gunners' January transfer gamble backfired again in Saturday's 1-0 derby loss to West Ham United, but their hosts also succumbed to defeat in gameweek 26, coming out on the wrong end of a 4-3 scoreline at Newcastle United.
We say: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Arsenal
Forest's defensive catastrophe at Newcastle should have little bearing on Wednesday's game, given the fact that Santo's men are back at their City Ground fortress and are facing an Arsenal side with a far less destructive attack if the weekend is anything to go by.
The Gunners are statistically still the best defence in the league and might not have too much trouble keeping their hosts at bay if Santo does indeed go rearguard-heavy, but their ravaged attack should come up short once again, and a frustrating 0-0 could all but spell the end of their title charge.

Spurs vs. Man City (Wednesday, 7.30pm)
A slice of English football history is on the line for Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening, when Ange Postecoglou's men host Premier League champions Manchester City in the pick of the midweek fixtures.
Having already slain the Citizens twice while defeating Manchester United three times in 2024-25, Spurs could become the first team to ever beat both Manchester giants on three occasions in a single campaign.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Manchester City
Tottenham have lit the blue touch paper in the final third once more and will be working with an additional day's rest than the champions, who should not head home without having conceded a couple of goals on the night.
However, even a City-less Haaland had their moments against Liverpool, and with all due respect to Spurs' centre-backs, they are no Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate, so Guardiola's men can bite back just as hard to claim a point.

Man Utd vs. Ipswich (Wednesday, 7.30pm)
Manchester United will look to arrest a woeful run of home form when they welcome relegation favourites Ipswich Town to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Ipswich were thrashed again at the weekend, edging them closer towards an instant return to the Championship, while Man United were fortunate to leave Goodison Park with a point in a game against Everton mired in controversy.
We say: Manchester United 3-2 Ipswich Town
Man United flattered to deceive once again at the weekend, and their form is even worse at home, but this would be the biggest shock yet against a club destined for the drop, and Amorim's men should have just enough.
Ipswich have only kept one clean sheet on the road this season, and that came in a goalless draw with Brighton early in the campaign, so they will need to have their shooting boots on if they are to have any chance in this one, and even then it may not be enough for the Tractor Boys.

Liverpool vs. Newcastle (Wednesday, 8.15pm)
Having now arguably reached the status of Premier League champions-elect, Liverpool hope to pass another challenging test of their title credentials at home to Newcastle United on Wednesday night, in a precursor to next month's EFL Cup final.
The Reds' lead at the summit stretched into the double figures when they overcame Manchester City 2-0 on Sunday, a couple of hours after the Magpies' absorbing 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest.
We say: Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle United
Clashes between Liverpool and Newcastle almost always promise a glut of goals, and Wednesday's affair should be no different, especially with the Magpies looking increasingly brittle at the back.
Howe's men are always a force to be reckoned with in the final third too, but we cannot envisage any other outcome than the Reds taking another giant step towards top-flight stardom.
