Premier League matchday 31 picks for April 10-11: Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in top-six clash

Premier League matchday 31 features a massive top-six clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. The fixture will have direct implications on the league title.

Will Liverpool Finish In The Champions League Positions?

The 2020/21 Premier League season is 65 percent completed and Manchester City look nailed on to secure their fifth Premier League title. Defending champions Liverpool look a shell of their former selves and face the prospect of not even qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
