Just one more month of the Premier League season remains, yet the battle to avoid relegation does not look any nearer to being resolved.
Leicester City have won three games on the bounce to climb off the bottom of the table for the first time since November, and they can potentially pull themselves out of the drop zone this afternoon should they beat bottom side Burnley.
Fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers, Hull City and Sunderland take on West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Stoke City respectively, while Aston Villa are still not safe themselves as they prepare to face champions Manchester City.
Manuel Pellegrini's men have slipped well off the pace in recent months, meaning that Chelsea can move within three points of the title this weekend should they overcome Arsenal in the top flight's main event.
Elsewhere, Manchester United will be looking to find the winning touch once again when they visit Everton; Mauricio Pochettino will return to his old Southampton hunting ground; Newcastle United will hope that their six-game losing run ends when they host Swansea City; and Liverpool's hunt for a top-four spot continues with a trip to West Bromwich Albion.
