Preamble

We have three 2pm BST kick-offs in the Premier League. The most significant one comes at the Amex where Newcastle are aiming to boost their Champions League hopes. Victory over Brighton would move them above Manchester City into third, putting further pressure on rivals Chelsea and Nottingham Forest, who play later on Sunday and Monday, respectively.

Manchester United get to follow their barnstorming night in the Basque Country with a trip to the capital. Will Ruben Amorim rest players to ensure everyone is fit for the second leg against Athletic Bilbao? They have a three-goal lead in the Europa League but a picking couple of injuries at Brentford would give Ernesto Valverde a timely boost. The Bees have an outside shot at Europe, too, and after turning over Forest on Thursday will be in confident mood of defeating the 15th-best team in the Premier League.

It is 16th against 15th at the London Stadium, where West Ham and Tottenham are desperately waiting for the league campaign to finish. Spurs also have European glory in their sights and with a tricky trip to Norway to come, they might also wonder if it is time to take precautions. If the Hammers do win, they would leapfrog Spurs and go level on points with Manchester United, which would be a much-needed boost.

Let the fun begin!
