Arsenal v Fulham

Sky Sports Premier League & Main Event, 1.30pm

Fulham have been put under severe pressure after Newcastle won on Saturday and they look too brittle to respond following a return of just five goals in the last nine games. There isn't much riding on the game for Arsenal, but they are being given encouragement in the hunt for a Europa League qualification spot.

Best bet
Arsenal to win to nil

Man Utd v Burnley

Sky Sports Premier League & Main Event, 4pm

Slow-starting Manchester United look worth backing to once more show their best in the second half against a Burnley side capable of holding firm for 45 minutes but unlikely to last the pace at Old Trafford. United have been ahead at the break in only three of their last 17 league games so they may take time to warm up again.

Leicester v Southampton

BT Sport 1, 6.30pm

Leicester have scored more goals (19) in the last 15 minutes than any other Premier League side and 60 per cent of their total have come in the second half. The Foxes are counter-attacking kings and could hit Saints as this FA Cup semi-finals opens up.

Corners bet of the day

Arsenal v Fulham 1.30pm

Bet365 may have overestimated the chances of corners at the Emirates. More Premier League games have had fewer than ten corners rather than more than ten this season, and this looks a fairly typical top-flight fixture.

Stat of the day

Leicester v Southampton 6.30pm

Leicester's Kelechi Iheanacho is the FA Cup's top scorer since the start of the 2015-16 season. He has also scored nine times in his last six outings and is 6-4 to notch against Southampton.
