Aston Villa hosts Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park in a battle between sixth and 17th in the Premier League standings.
The Villains have won three of their last five matches, having beaten Newcastle United 4-1, as well as both Fulham and Bournemouth via 1-0 scorelines. Unai Emery’s men have suffered defeats to both Manchester City (2-1) and Crystal Palace (3-0) during this sequence of matches.
Tottenham were beaten 2-0 away at Crystal Palace after drawing 1-1 with West Ham and losing 5-1 at Liverpool. Ange Postecoglou’s men managed to qualify for the Europa League final as they thrashed Bodo/Glimt 5-1 on aggregate.
Chelsea goes head-to-head with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, in a game that the Blues are expected to win.
Enzo Maresca’s men suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss at Newcastle United last time out after earning victories over Djurgarden (1-0 & 4-1), while also beating Liverpool (3-1) and Everton (1-0).
Manchester United’s league form is dismal, as they have earned just one point from their last three matches, having drawn 1-1 with AFC Bournemouth prior to their recent losses at Brentford (4-3) and West Ham United (2-0). Their last two Europa League games resulted in solid 3-0 and 4-1 victories over Athletic Bilbao.
Walsall faces off against Chesterfield in the second leg of tonight’s League Two play-off.
The home side have managed to pick up form of late, as they beat Chesterfield (2-0) in the first leg after a narrow 1-0 away win at Crewe Alexandra. In the run-up to those games, the Saddlers had lost 1-0 at Accrington and drew 0-0 at Newport and 2-2 at home with Harrogate Town.
Chesterfield were unbeaten in their last four matches before their 2-0 first leg defeat, having previously earned victories over Accrington (1-0) and Morecambe (4-1) after drawing with Bradford City (3-3) and AFC Wimbledon (0-0).
In the League of Ireland Premier Division, fourth-place Bohemians meets sixth-place Shelbourne.

Ninth-placed Molde meets eighth-placed Kristiansund in the Norwegian Eliteserien.
Molde have finally found some form after a slow start, as they have recently earned victories against Bryne (3-0) and Haugesund (2-1) after drawing 0-0 at Rosenborg and 2-2 with Bodo/Glimt.
