The early kick-off is not one for the purists, but a huge fixture in the relegation battle. Lose to fellow rivals for the drop and you can count Norwich gone...if you have not already.
The Canaries' thrashing at Arsenal leaves them bottom and seven points from safety with just six to go. It would be some great escape now. At the start of the season, even though they had some defeats, they still looked exciting and played some good football.
Since the break, they have looked incredibly flat and so has Daniel Farke. They are heading towards an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship. On the bright side, they will be in a division without VAR drama.
As they fail to pick up a point since the return, Brighton have collected five from four incredibly tough fixtures - Wolves, Arsenal, Leicester and Man United. Graham Potter's side have a nice six-point cushion over the bottom three but it is not time to ease off just yet.
While it would be typical of the relegation fight to see Norwich get a result and claw back some slight hope for the run-in, the game is so big for Brighton that it is difficult to see them coming away pointless. These games can always be cagey with both sides not wanting to take risks, but Norwich need to act and that could be where the Seagulls can pounce and edge it.
It is one we'd rather avoid in the staking plan, but draw no bet in Brighton's favour is a good option despite the odds-on price, with the added insurance in the event of the points being shared.
Prediction: Norwich 0-1 Brighton (Sky Bet odds: 13/2)
Best bet: Brighton draw no bet at 8/13
Of all teams to struggle for form since the return, few would have picked Leicester.
The Foxes in particular, are third and in with a great chance of securing Champions League football again and Brendan Rodgers spoke after their defeat on Wednesday about a reset in mentality that is required.
Jamie Vardy has been stuck on 99 Premier League goals for what seems like a lifetime.
He scored twice against Villa before the break and has not added to his season tally in the four games (including the FA Cup) since the return. He has had at least two efforts in three of them, none in the defeat to Everton, but he needs to get the supply from his team-mates.
You expect Leicester and Vardy to turn it around sooner or later and it could well be here, but the 6/5 anytime on the former England striker is just not appealing enough for this market.
Instead, a similar price that stands out more is in favour of the opposition, with Jordan Ayew in the shots on target betting.
Palace are not the most prolific side in the league, but they have got some excellent results to push on for the top half and Ayew's shooting statistics make interesting reading.
He averages 1.6 shots per game in the Premier League, with nearly half (23) of his 51 shots on target. In individual games, he had four against Burnley on Monday, one (a goal) against Bournemouth, three (one goal) against Watford and earlier in the season he had as many as seven in one game against Newcastle.
He is their top goalscorer with nine goals and often plays near-full 90 minutes under Roy Hodgson, usually leading the line or in a supporting role to the main forward.
The Ghanaian is 15/4 to score anytime, but 11/10 to have one shot on target against a Leicester team now lacking in confidence.
When he shoots, they often come in a flurry and one effort on goal, away from home or not when playing behind closed doors, is a realistic ask in a match where they will fancy getting their chances against an out-of-sorts top four side.
Prediction: Leicester 1-1 Crystal Palace (Sky Bet odds: 6/1)
Best bet: Jordan Ayew 1+ shots on target at 11/10
Manchester United were in great form before the enforced break and plenty wondered whether they would be able to continue that after such a long time out.
But Paul Pogba is back and looking interested, Bruno Fernandes is inspiring the team with an impact few would have expected and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's men are continuing to impress. They have scored six goals in their last two Premier League games without conceding and their unbeaten run now stands at 15 games in all competitions.
So, Bournemouth...at Old Trafford? Surely not.
The Red Devils have competition for places now and they look focused and are still making ground on the top four. With Chelsea facing Watford on Saturday evening, this is a great chance to leapfrog the Blues for a few hours at least and to really put the pressure on them and Leicester.
Finding value in games like this can be difficult. The Cherries were really poor in their 4-1 thrashing at home to Newcastle and such a turnaround would be a surprise here. An improvement? Maybe, but it is hard to see any more than that.
United are so well fancied in the markets that they are odds-on to score three or more goals. So instead, we will go for a small stakes shout at 9/1.
The Pogba-Fernandes combination is a narrative being picked up a lot and the latter was keen to play it down on Tuesday, but his arrival from Sporting Lisbon has given Pogba the kick he needed.
The Frenchman has shown glimpses of his old self again and it is a matter of time until he gets back on the score sheet as he finds his rhythm following an extended spell on the sidelines.
The 27-year-old is a shade under 3/1 to find the back of the net anytime but at a more appealing nines to score from outside the box. He teed up his new mate Fernandes on Tuesday and he could well return the favour.
Of Pogba's 16 shots in 10 Premier League appearances this term, eight have been from outside the area. We know he is not afraid of shooting on sight in and around the 18-yard box and with the freedom he has in this three-man midfield he could find the space to exploit a declining Bournemouth.
Prediction: Man United 4-0 Bournemouth (Sky Bet odds: 8/1)
Best bet: Paul Pogba to score from outside the area at 9/1
Two sides targeting a top-six finish, victory here would see seventh-placed Arsenal close the gap on Wolves above them to just three points.
Getting a result against Nuno Espirito Santo's side will be no mean feat though - they are on a three-game winning run and unbeaten in six games in total in all competitions. To say their season started last July, they have done brilliantly.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are continuing to improve under Mikel Arteta and are showing glimpses again after a difficult return with injuries and individual errors costing them against Man City and Brighton.
Both sides are dangerous on the attack, Wolves much more organised in defence, but we could see a close clash played out here. While the prediction is a draw, the preference is to back both teams to get on the score sheet in the second half at 13/5.
Wolves are a second half team, there's no doubt about it. They have conceded first in 18 of their 32 fixtures, coming from behind to save 20 points in those games (eight draws and four wins). They certainly do not make it easy for themselves.
They have scored 33 goals in the second half of games this season (vs just 12 in the first), while Arsenal have scored 27 and conceded 20 after the interval.
With the game expected to start a little cagey, as we have often seen since the restart as teams continue to adjust and regain sharpness, they can push on for a second-half spectacle.
With Arsenal's questionable defence, the Gunners may have to retaliate at the other end, so a small backing on goals in the latter half piques our interest.
Prediction: Wolves 2-2 Arsenal (Sky Bet odds: 14/1)
Best bet: BTTS in the second half at 13/5
Chelsea suffered a setback on Wednesday in their top-four hopes with a shock defeat at West Ham, so Frank Lampard will be demanding a reaction from his side when they host struggling Watford.
The Hornets showed promise in the months under Nigel Pearson leading up to the coronavirus crisis, but have collected just a point since the return. While all three points may be a tough ask here, they can get on the score sheet against a Blues side that has failed to keep a clean sheet in the league in their three games back.
With the way Tomas Soucek bullied Cesar Azpilicueta from set pieces at the London Stadium and the poor defending on show throughout, attacking midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is an excellent 8/1 to get on the score sheet anytime.
Hopeful yes, but worth half a point. Regular Sporting Life readers will know we are keen on the Frenchman, who now plays in a more advanced role thanks to Pearson and often supports Troy Deeney in the final third.
He consistently has at least two efforts on goal - in six of his last seven appearances and, in the game before that v Everton, he had four.
He is 5/4 with Sky Bet to register one effort on target, 5/6 to have 2+ shots. But 8/1 is a worthy shout against a leaky Chelsea defence.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Watford (Sky Bet odds: 15/2)
Best bet: Abdoulaye Doucoure to score anytime at 8/1
