Forest to test progress

Nottm Forest vs Man Utd - Tuesday, kick-off 8pm

Three games is more than enough time for a narrative shift around Man Utd but there are deeper, genuine positive signs that things are beginning to click for Ruben Amorim.

Whereas earlier positive performances against big rivals have proven false dawns, the hard-fought draw with Arsenal at the start of March appears to have cemented something in the Old Trafford psyche.

That night, even Joshua Zirkzee and Casemiro, so painfully out of form and favour at different points of the season, had a notable spring back in their step.

The signs are good, but no one can suggest thrashing a 10-man mid-table LaLiga side and then doing the same to a lifeless Leicester side is anything more than a positive base.

The improved patterns of possession and more settled floating No 10s will face a sterner test on Tuesday against a Nottingham Forest side who have kept the joint-most clean sheets in the Premier League.

Without the same big-game motivation as when United have impressed against Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea under Amorim it will be as much a test of mental mettle as any tactical understanding at the City Ground.

Emerge unscathed, and the next three upcoming matches with Newcastle, Lyon and Man City become a lot more appealing - and the Amorim era really might really be beginning to take off.

Saka is back… and Arsenal might need him against Fulham

Arsenal vs Fulham - Tuesday, kick-off 7.45pm

Arsenal received what Mikel Arteta described as a "massive boost" with news of Bukayo Saka's availability for their game against Fulham following a three-month injury absence.

The 23-year-old has not featured since suffering a hamstring tear in December but Arteta made it clear he will not hesitate to throw him straight back into his team on Tuesday, insisting he is ready to start having rejoined full training during the international break.

Kick off 8:00pm

Alexander-Arnold suffered a high ankle sprain in the club's Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain before the international break that will see him miss the visit of Everton, and with his back-up Conor Bradley also likely to be absent with a hamstring issue, Slot must decide who starts on the right-hand side of the defence as the Reds look to take another step closer to the title.

Central defender Jarell Quansah filled in for Alexander-Arnold as a makeshift right-back in Liverpool's most recent outing, their Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle United, and unless Slot opts to switch to three at the back, or to utilise one of his left-backs Andy Roberston and Kostas Tsimikas in the role, the England international should get the nod against the Toffees.

Is Mbeumo set for a Newcastle audition?

Newcastle vs Brentford - Wednesday - 7:45pm kick-off

The dust is starting to settle on Newcastle's Carabao Cup win.

Will he choose black and white or red all over?

The Cameroon winger has been one of the sharpest shooters in the Premier League this season and could well be into the final 10 games of his Brentford career.

Man City can go into top four as they host Leicester

Man City vs Leicester City - Wednesday - 7:45pm kick-off

How Leicester supporters would love a season of disappointment like the one Manchester City are 'enduring' - a FA Cup semi-final at Wembley to look forward to with Pep Guardiola's side still well placed to secure Champions League football next term.

City would move back into the top four with victory over Ruud van Nistelrooy's Foxes on Wednesday night and it will need a major improvement from the visitors to stop them.

They suffered injuries to Georginio Rutter and Adam Webster at the weekend, but are just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa have everything to play for with a Champions League quarter-final and an FA Cup semi-final to come and a European place to secure.

Marcus Rashford did his confidence no harm with his first goals for the club at Preston on Sunday, and Unai Emery has the luxury of his squad being almost entirely available for an exciting run-in.

Cherries must make Vitality a fortress again to achieve shock CL spot

Bournemouth vs Ipswich Town - Wednesday, kick-off 7.45pm

Bournemouth head into Wednesday's home encounter against struggling Ipswich Town with an unlikely Champions League qualification next season within their grasp, but Andoni Iraola's side will need to start making the Vitality Stadium a fortress again if they are to have any hope of making it into Europe's premier club competition.

The Cherries sit in 10th place in the standings, just four points behind champions Man City in fifth, with a top-five finish currently enough to earn a place in next season's Champions League given the impressive performances of English clubs in Europe so far this season.

A home clash against an Ipswich side heading for relegation would normally be just the recipe for a team in Bournemouth's position, but they have not won at home in the league since thrashing Nottingham Forest 5-0 on January 25, while they also lost at home to City in their FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday.

Iraola must now get his players up for the season run-in and will dearly want that winless run to come to an end against the 18th-placed visitors.

Can Spurs pounce on restless rivals?

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur - Thursday - 8pm kick-off

Despite their gradual fall from grace over recent seasons, Chelsea have still been able to rely on meetings with Tottenham to provide some light amid the gloom.

Mauricio Pochettino did the double over his former club, including the chaotic 4-1 win that knocked Ange Postecoglou's reign off course
