Midweek Special: Title Races Enter Crunch Time

City (67pts) head to Turf Moor. Just three points behind leaders Arsenal (70pts), there is no room for slips.

• With Arsenal three points clear and the season running out, anything less than a win leaves City's title hopes in tatters.
• Burnley sit 19th on 20 points. A result at Turf Moor against the defending champions would be a huge boost in their survival fight.

League leaders Barcelona (79pts) host Celta. Can they preserve their six-point cushion over Real Madrid (73pts)?

• Barcelona have been imperious at the top, but Real Madrid refuse to drop off. Every point now counts as the finish line approaches.
• Celta (6th, 44pts) are chasing European qualification. Expect them to come with attacking intent at Camp Nou.

PSG (63pts) lead Lens (62pts) by a single point. A home win over Nantes is non-negotiable.

• Lens have closed the gap to just one point in a surprise title race. PSG cannot afford to drop points against Nantes at home.
• Nantes, fighting relegation, will likely set up defensively and look for counters. If PSG struggle to break them down, an upset is in play.

Runaway leaders PSV (74pts) host PEC Zwolle. With a 19-point gap to Feyenoord, the title is within touching distance.

• PSV lead Feyenoord by 19 points and are on the verge of the title. Maximum points from remaining games will clinch the championship.
• Zwolle are fighting to stay up. Can they contain PSV's prolific attack and grab a potentially decisive point?

Unbeaten Kashima (7W 2D 0L, 23pts) travel to Hitachidai. Level on points with leaders Vissel Kobe.

• Kashima are the only unbeaten side in J1, level on points with Vissel Kobe. An away win at Hitachidai could lift them to the summit on goal difference.
• Kashiwa have struggled since the opening matchday. How they approach this home fixture against in-form Kashima will be revealing.
