Arsenal vs Manchester City
English Premier League, 18h30
It will be a game of great importance for Manchester City, as they are fighting for 4th spot. Arsenal have wasted their chance to go all the way for the title with a mind-blowing defeat at Wigan, after they were winning 2-0 after 80 minutes of play.
As I said Arsenal will play only for pride, whereas City will play for reaching Europe's elite competition for the first time in history. Adebayor is in the middle of controversy, as he acted savagely in the reverse fixture, both defying Arsenal supporters and stamping his ex-teammate van Persie.
I tip City not to lose this one, at 3/5.

Manchester United vs Tottenham
English Premier League, 13h45
Manchester United are battling out with Chelsea for the title, trailing by one point as it stands. They welcome 4th place Spurs today, in an attempt to gain an advantage on the Blues, which themselves lost a week ago at White Hart Lane, 2-1. United are without Rooney in this one and it will be a question of resilience if they are to beat a strong team that have all to lose.
For Spurs it will be a monumental feat to win today, as they have not beaten a Top Four side away in 66 previous attempts. Watch for the likes of Bale and Modric to perform.
I tip Spurs not to lose, at 6/5.
