Manchester United will be bidding to give their top-four hopes a boost when they welcome Leicester City to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The Red Devils are currently sixth in the table, four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand, while Leicester sit 10th, 14 points behind their opponents this weekend.
Man United have not been in action since suffering a 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League on March 15, which saw them lose 2-1 on aggregate, but the Red Devils cannot afford to dwell on the disappointment, as they bid to salvage a top-four finish in the league.
Ralf Rangnick's side recorded a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in their last league match on March 12, with Cristiano Ronaldo netting three times, but the 20-time English champions are playing catch up, currently sitting sixth in the table, four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
The Gunners also have a match in hand, while Tottenham and West Ham United are also firmly in the picture, meaning that Man United face a serious scrap to secure Champions League football for next season.
Over the international break, the club have been working behind the scenes, interviewing Ajax's Erik ten Hag over the managerial position, but missing out on the Champions League for next season would be a huge blow when it comes to their plans for the summer transfer window.
A busy April will see the Red Devils take on Leicester, Everton, Norwich City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League, but the absence of European football means that Rangnick should be able to keep his players fresh, and it will be fascinating to see how the campaign finishes for the club
Seeking a seventh win on the bounce in all competitions, Chelsea resume Premier League action with the visit of Brentford to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon for a West London derby.
The Blues progressed in the FA Cup with a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough before the international break, while the Bees most recently lost 2-1 to Leicester City.
The continued uncertainty surrounding Chelsea's future off the pitch has appeared to galvanise Thomas Tuchel's troops, who have done a stellar job of focusing on their on-field matters as they continue to fight for success on three fronts this term.
Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku were both on target as Chelsea advanced to the semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Boro in the FA Cup last time out, with that result following Champions League success against Lille and a controversial top-flight triumph over Newcastle United.
Tuchel may already have one eye on the first leg of his side's Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid on Wednesday evening, but the Blues will not want to lose their grip on third place in the Premier League table, with the European champions comfortably five points clear of fourth-placed Arsenal.
Winning six on the bounce in all tournaments is just what the doctor ordered for Chelsea before the unforgiving April schedule begins, and the Blues also enter Saturday's game on a five-game victorious run in the Premier League - conceding just one goal in the process.
Tuchel's side have also gone 17 games unbeaten at their West London home since that 1-0 loss to Manchester City back in September, and only Liverpool (7) have conceded fewer top-flight goals on their own turf than Chelsea (10) this term, with the Blues seeking to make Brentford's short journey across the capital a miserable one.
With 16 places and 47 points separating them in the Premier League table, Liverpool and Watford resume top-flight action with Saturday's lunchtime kickoff at Anfield.
The second-placed Reds find themselves just one point behind Manchester City at the summit, while Roy Hodgson's side are three points adrift of safety in 18th.
Only a couple of months after Liverpool had seemingly conceded the crown to Man City once again, we have a title race on our hands, and Jurgen Klopp's side are showing no signs of faltering as they continue their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.
Diogo Jota's close-range effort against Nottingham Forest saw Liverpool advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup just before the international break - with the FA controversially refusing to move the fixture from Wembley despite travel disruption - and there is the small matter of next week's Champions League quarter-final first leg with Benfica to come as well.
With their only defeat in any competition since the turn of the year being that inconsequential loss to Inter Milan on their own turf, Liverpool are now within touching distance of Man City at the summit before the two heavyweights meet in a mouthwatering showdown on April 10 and would go top with a win here for at least a couple of hours before the champions meet Burnley.
It is now nine Premier League victories in a row for this rampant Liverpool outfit - who have kept clean sheets in each of their last four in the top flight and have scored 23 in their sparkling winning run - and Anfield is not often a happy hunting ground for visiting teams.
Indeed, Klopp's crop welcome Watford to Merseyside having won each of their last nine Premier League games at Anfield - where they are unbeaten domestically for over a year - and their tally of seven home goals conceded this term is unlikely to worsen against the goal-shy Hornets.

Affiliate Marketing has been around for donkey years, and we've been doing it consciously or unconsciously without even knowing. Take for instance, Property Rental Agencies. They Don't own any properties, their job is to connect property owners with accomodation seekers, and they get paid for doing just that. AirBnB is a perfect example of this business model. They don't own any property, but millions of people in search of short term apartment for rent flock to their website to find what they need. Jumia is another example of the affiliate marketing business model. They simply act as a middle man between product vendors and consumers, and they earn commission for every item sold via it's marketplace. Don't listen to naysayers, people who are quick to pass judgement. Alot of them speak out of ignorance and personal bias. You've take a decision to liberate yourself from the shackles of financial misery, and that's a step in the right direction. Feel free to reach out, I'll do my best to help you get started the best way I can. You can also check out this YouTube video, it will set you on the right path. To Your success in view

Your ilks are the reason why we have sexual predators( male/female) roaming amongst us since you saw nothing wrong in what she did. What has their upcoming career got to do with him being openly assaulted by a woman? No dey support rubbish make I no change am for you oh

Yusufisraelj: Na wa ooo, you and iyeabe just day make me think something now.
I know you've met guys with terrible past, but if you array 10 guys, those who have messy past can't be more than 4.
same cannot be said for ladies, it's like 6 out of every 10 ladies have a funny past.
So don't sit there and preach this fake gospel. And the way you two are talking about it makes it look like it's alright to mess around and just tell the guy, na fvck you fvck, you no kill person, what sick talk is that one?
My Comrade, U Sef See As The Matter Don Be. I'm Pretty Sure Say If Na Dia Brother Or Male Relative Dey Involved, The Narrative Go Change
Officiallyme: Hello guys, met this girl some time around January this year and asked her out and we started dating ever since
So recently, I got to know about her past. Her past was so reckless that it is giving me a second thought about everything, started having s*x at the age of 15 while in secondary school and travelling to see a lot of men whom she claimed was asking after her hand in marriage. This girl has slept with so many guys that it's freaking me out, funny thing is, she's been lying and hiding some things but as a smart guy, I've always had my way around her to tell me the truth.
She told me she did a "mistake" abortion for one of her boyfriends then and just last year December, she had s*x with a married man and she knew very well he was married. These are just few of the stuffs I recently found out about, I know it's all in the past and she claims she's changed and want a real relationship with me but I don't believe at all, she claims to love me so much and cannot do without me and honestly, I love her too but I'm scared this may just change a lot about everything.
I don't know what to do, I'm hurt and disappointed and I don't know what to do now. I just need someone to talk to me, please don't insult me, I just need some pieces of advise.
So I was going through a topic on the front page yesterday about a wife telling her husband that she isn't interested in the marriage again but the husband didn't want divorce.
Now for the Christians among us, you and I know that God hates divorce. No need to start quoting many scriptures you're already aware of but what happens when one of the parties in the marriage isn't interested in the marriage again??
Just to add personal experiences,
1. My ex-colleague's husband walked out of her marriage of 5 years because she couldn't get pregnant, the husband put another woman in the family way and told her people to return the bride price he paid. Guess what? She's just 31.. What would you advise her to do as a Christian? Remain like that because God hates divorce? At 31 years??
2. My former co-worker in campus fellowship walked out of her marriage because she was tired of hardship. She returned to her village and left the husband in Lagos. The marriage was just 3 years. All efforts to reconcile them didn't work. Another mutual friend called me last month that her husband is remarried, why would he do that? God hates divorce and all that... I had to ask her on phone that man isn't up to 35 years from what I know, what would you expect him do as Hanty no gree come back
Share your thoughts people of God.
Seems All Your Colleagues Love Jumping SHIP & Abandoning Their Marriages, Beware Of Bad Colleagues oOoOO.

Same thing Laurent Kabila did with Congo DR , his pikin Joseph Kabila took over from him. Perhaps Yusuf Buhari is already warming up to take over from his Papa Muhammadu "Jibrin" Buhari, abi no be so?

Michelle55: I'm a thousand sure you ain't the new guy she described in her post because you're an opposite of the gentleman she is madly in love with, the comment of you conniving with her ex to be straffing her on a lowkey is the most childish thing I've ever seen.
Move on and concentrate more on developing yourself mentally, financially, and psychologically. You are the opposite of your name bro! Shioor!!
