We look at the big questions surrounding this weekend's Premier League matches.
A full set of midweek fixtures has set us up perfectly for the weekend, with four games live on Sky Sports 1 HD.
It all kicks off with Tottenham hosting Watford as Mauricio Pochettino's men look to put pressure on league leaders Chelsea, who are currently seven points clear at the top.
A Super Sunday sees Manchester United travel to basement club Sunderland before Leicester look to make it six league wins in a row when travelling to Everton.
And the action doesn't stop there, with Arsenal heading to south London to take on Crystal Palace on Monday Night Football.
Watford will be glad to see the back of White Hart Lane, having lost on their last six league visits to the stadium.
They have also never managed to score more than once in any of their previous seven top-flight meetings.
That could be a problem considering Tottenham have averaged more than three goals per game since being held scoreless at Genk and Liverpool in back-to-back matches in February.
Troy Deeney looks like the Hornets' best bet. He has reached double figures for the second season in a row and has six goals in his last eight league appearances.
The bad news? He's scored against 41 different teams during his Watford career but not Tottenham.
The gap to fourth place could be seven points by the time Manchester United kick off on Sunday afternoon.
Mourinho's side hold Champions League aspirations but three consecutive draws at Old Trafford have dented their hopes.
They have been much better away from home, though, scoring three goals in wins over Leicester and Middlesbrough.
Add to the mix Sunderland's woeful home form - they are winless in six league games, failing to score in their last four - and United will fancy their chances of getting back on track.
Craig Shakespeare will join exulted company with a win at Goodison Park on Super Sunday.
The Foxes boss could equal the Premier League record for consecutive wins from the start of his managerial career with a sixth straight victory, matching Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti.
But Everton may well offer Shakespeare his toughest test since replacing Claudio Ranieri.
They have won their last six league matches at home, keeping clean sheets in five and scoring 22 goals in the process.
And in Romelu Lukaku they boast a striker most comfortable in his Goodison Park surroundings.
The Premier League's leading scorer has had a hand in 18 goals in his last 14 home appearances, finding the net 10 times in his last six.
Arsenal returned to winning ways during the week against West Ham, and they can ill afford to drop any points in the run-in as they look to claw their way back into the top four.
Crucial games at home to Manchester City and away to Tottenham are still to come this month, but first their attention must turn to Selhurst Park on MNF.
Palace themselves were enjoying a strong run until they were undone by Southampton, but Sam Allardyce will call on that spirit which saw the Eagles upset Chelsea last weekend.
Four league games without a win has seen Man City slip away from the title race - with the midweek loss at Chelsea seemingly the final nail in the coffin.
Now 14 points behind Chelsea, attention must turn to holding off Arsenal and Manchester United to secure a Champions League spot next season.
Pep Guardiola's side host a Hull side buoyed by two straight wins, but the Tigers remain 10 points off the magic 40 mark with seven games to play.
Middlesbrough had been teetering above the relegation zone for the majority of the season, but they now find themselves trapped in the bottom three.
A win against Burnley is essential, while Sean Dyche's side could all-but guarantee safety and condemn Boro deeper into the mire with one fell swoop at the Riverside.
Victory would move Burnley to 38 points, but that would require a first away win of the season for the Clarets.
It's an open secret that Liverpool's issue this season has been their propensity to concede goals.
They have kept one clean sheet in the league in 2017 and have particularly struggled on their travels, with just six clean sheets in Jurgen Klopp's 30 away games so far.
But Mark Hughes' Stoke have gone goal-shy in recent games, failing to net in three of their last four matches.
It's a key reason behind their three-match losing slump, which should offer Liverpool cause for optimism as they look to solidify their top-four credentials.
There's no prize for finishing eighth, but for West Brom and Southampton there's the opportunity to finish 'best of the rest' come what May, with Everton seven points clear in seventh.
Southampton head to The Hawthorns on Saturday seven points behind hosts West Brom, but crucially the Saints have two games in hand.
The Hammers are in freefall having lost their last five league matches, piling the pressure on manager Slaven Bilic.
If they lose again on Saturday and results go against them, they could find themselves just two points above the relegation zone.
But Paul Clement's honeymoon at Swansea looks over after their late collapse at home to Spurs condemned the Swans to a third defeat in four games.
It also sent them back into the bottom three, lending even greater importance to this potential six-pointer.
Five games without losing has helped Bournemouth move out of the relegation mix, but Eddie Howe won't be resting on his laurels just yet.
Sitting seven points above the drop zone, Bournemouth's tally of 35 points means they're almost there, but Chelsea arrive on Saturday with their own agenda - keeping Tottenham off their heels.
The league leaders recovered well from defeat at Palace to sink Man City, and Conte knows 18 more points - which would take them to 90 - will help them lift the league trophy on May 21.
