The next round of Premier League fixtures runs from Friday to Tuesday, with BBC platforms offering full coverage of every match.

The title race reaches a critical juncture for Arsenal and Manchester City. The Gunners could move eight points clear by beating Burnley, provided City lose to Bournemouth. Alternatively, City can cut the gap to two points with a game in hand on Tuesday, following their FA Cup final on Saturday, if they defeat the Cherries and Arsenal fail to beat the Clarets. At the bottom, the relegation battle may be decided: a West Ham loss combined with a Tottenham win would send the Hammers down with one game to spare.

Throughout the season, fans can watch highlights from every game on Match of the Day, catch all the talking points on Football Focus, and follow live goals on Final Score. Listen live across the UK via BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sounds app. Live text commentary covers all weekend action, and digital highlights are available on the BBC Sport website and app.
