Chelsea’s visit to Aston Villa today has significance at both ends of the table, with the third-placed Blues looking for the win that would effectively seal their place in next season’s Champions League, while Villa can guarantee their survival with a victory.
Tottenham Hotspur cannot afford to drop points at Stoke City as Andre Villas-Boas’ fifth-placed side try to keep the pressure on Chelsea and fourth-placed Arsenal, who do not play this weekend due to Wigan Athletic’s involvement in the FA Cup final.
Newcastle United, three points above the bottom three, travel to already-relegated Queens Park Rangers in dire need of a win.
Norwich City, at home to West Bromwich Albion, and Sunderland, who host Southampton, are level on points with Newcastle and equally desperate for three points.
