The headline fixture is Arsenal — brilliant all season with 25 wins — making the trip to Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace, while Manchester City entertain Aston Villa at the Etihad in what looks like a crunch title-run day for both clubs.

Down at the bottom, the Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley clash at Turf Moor is an absolute relegation six-pointer: both sides have been shambolic all campaign, managing just three and four wins respectively, so a nil-nil draw is as good as a defeat for either. Manchester United heading to Brighton is also worth a watch, with United's decent form on the road running into a Brighton side who the bookmakers fancy to keep a clean sheet at the American Express Stadium.

The marquee matchup tonight is Seattle Sounders FC traveling to face LAFC at BMO Stadium, two of the West's stronger sides with the Sounders sitting a point ahead on form at 7-3-2 — expect a tight, physical game with LAFC installed as narrow favorites and the over-under sitting at just 2.5, so neither side figures to gift a sitter. Earlier in the evening, Inter Miami CF host a Philadelphia Union side that has been genuinely shambolic on the road this year, going 1-4-9 and looking short on ideas up top, so Miami should be able to keep a clean sheet if they stay organized.

If you watch one game, make it the late kick on the West Coast — both squads can find the net in bunches and the Sounders have the legs to press LAFC into mistakes.
