Manchester United v Norwich (6pm): Old Trafford is not a happy place at the moment. Down in seventh and six points off the Champions League places. At least this will provide some respite for United's interim manager Ralf Rangnick. Prediction: Man United 3 Norwich 0. AP

Southampton v Arsenal (6pm): It was all going so well for the Gunners and manager Mikel Arteta before the international break, but successive defeats to Crystal Palace and Brighton have made the run-in that much more difficult. The Saints lost 6-0 to Chelsea last time out, and will want to salvage some pride. Prediction: Southampton 1 Arsenal 1. Reuters

Watford v Brentford (6pm): Perhaps Watford's problem is that they haven't tried enough managers. Only three this season is conservative by their standards. Whatever the approach, it hasn't worked and the Championship looms. Again. Prediction: Watford 1 Brentford 3. PA

Newcastle v Leicester (Premier League, 5.15pm): Eddie Howe has done enough to ensure Premier League football at St James' Park next season - almost. He'll want to nail it for certain here against a Leicester side with no interest in the domestic run-in. Prediction: Newcastle 2 Leicester 0. Getty
