First up sees a titanic battle at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City host Chelsea on Sunday afternoon in a battle between second and third in the Premier League.
There are just four points separating these two and with City looking like they are out of the title race, this is one of the biggest games of the season for both sides.
A home win would all but guarantee that the Citizens will land second place this campaign, but a Chelsea win brings them and even Tottenham Hotspur into contention.

City’s home form has been excellent once again this campaign, with United being the only side to claim all three points at the Etihad in the league.
Mancini will want that to still be the case come the final whistle here and if his men are at their best, they should come out on top.
They are however, on a three-game winless run in the top flight, something that has happened just once before since 2010, so it is not a situation that the champions often find themselves in.
As they come into this one on the back of an emphatic FA Cup win over Leeds United though, confidence should be high and a win for the home team is available at evens.
Mancini is sure to be delighted that Sergio Aguero has found some form in front of goal as he has scored three in as many matches for the Citizens. The Argentinean is the main striker for City and has to be firing on all cylinders this weekend. He looks to be decent value at 7/4 to score at anytime on Sunday.
As for Chelsea, they were only in action on Thursday evening as of course as they took on Sparta Prague in the Europa League.
It looked as though they were heading to extra-time at one stage – something Rafael Benitez would have been desperate to avoid – but Eden Hazard scored a last-minute equaliser to make it 1-1 on the night and sent Chelsea through 2-1 on aggregate.
Benitez will be pleased that his men are now in the final 16, but attention has to turn to the Premier League as they face one of the toughest games of the season.
The Spaniard gave Frank Lampard a rest during the week, so he is all but certain to come back into the starting line-up here and is a 7/2 to get himself on the score-sheet.
Also, after another poor performance in front of goal from Fernando Torres, Demba Ba might be given the chance to start this one and if he does, this is his opportunity to show what he can do in a Chelsea shirt.
In terms of Premier League form, the Blues are also struggling as they have won just twice in their last five matches. If results don’t go their way this weekend, Chelsea could drop into fourth, so it shows you what a huge game this is for them. The away team are at 10/3 to take the spoils.
It should be a fascinating encounter that gets underway from 1.30PM on Sunday.
