Arsenal, Manchester United in EPL action tonight
The English Premier League returns tonight with three fixtures set to be played across different grounds.
The league had taken a two-week break to allow for 2026 World Cup Qualifying fixtures.
21.45: Wolves V West Ham
21.45: Arsenal V Fulham
22.00: Nottingham Forest V Manchester United
Relegation batting Wolves host West Ham United at Molineux as they seek three points that can move them further away from the drop zone.
Currently 17th, Wolves have a nine point advantage over Ipswich Town and Leicester City who are both on 17 points with just nine matches left to play.
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira is looking forward to making the gap bigger tonight.
"We can only win our games and leave the rest to others," he told Premier League TV. "We know we have a decent gap but we must keep going."
West Ham on the other hand are just a place above Wolves in 16th but have an eight point gap on their rivals.
West Ham boss Graham Potter's arrival at London Stadium on a short term deal has seen the Hammers cement their position in the league and will be hoping to move above Tottenham and Everton who are just above them.
At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal will welcome back talisman Bukayo Saka, who returns to the squad following a serious hamstring injury that has kept him out of action since December.
A win will see them cut the gap between them and leaders Liverpool to nine points.
With nine matches left, it's tough to see the Gunners catch Liverpool, but manager Mikel Arteta isn't giving up until it's mathematically impossible.
"We will not give up yet until we have to. Liverpool have had a great season, but we are still here until it's over points-wise," he told Arsenal.com.
Fulham lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace in their FA Cup quarter-final over the weekend and will be keen to put that performance behind them as they take on their fellow Londoners.
In the day's final kick off, high flying Nottingham Forest host Manchester United.
Forest have had a wonderful season under Nuno Espirito Santo and qualified for the FA CUP semis over the weekend.
Despite the tough fixture list, Forest will be looking to continue their fantastic form and cement third place. They are five points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea.
"We played just recently, and they (United) have had 15 days rest. We don't find that as an excuse. We have targets for the season, and we will give everything to win," Santo told the press ahead of the clash.
United, who are currently 13th with 37 points, are seven behind tenth-placed Bournemouth.
United boss Ruben Amorim is happy to welcome back Harry Maguire and Lenny Yoro to the squad as they aim to build squad confidence ahead of the Europa League latter stages.
With United nowhere near the European places in the Premier League table, the Europa presents an opportunity to win a trophy and as well qualify for the UEFA Champions League playoffs.
"We have the opportunity to do something important in the remaining part of the season. We have the quality. We will go for it," Amorim stated in his pre-match press conference.
Amorim also stated that there is no chance Captain Bruno Fernandes will leave the club despite being linked with an exit consistently.
Amorim said, "I spoke to him. He knows I need him here. He is going nowhere."
