Good evening and welcome to The Independent's coverage of Leicester vs Brighton, Cardiff vs Everton, and Huddersfield vs Wolves.
We'll have the team news with you when it drops around 6.45pm. Make sure to tune in!
So that's all your team news for the 7.45 kick offs. Huddersfield, without a win in 14 Premier League games, will be hoping to do the double over an in-form Wolves side at the John Smith's Stadium.
In Cardiff, the Bluebirds are aiming to move clear of the bottom three. And at Leicester, the news of Brendan Rodgers' appointment as new manager will be the focus as the Foxes host Brighton.
Leicester will be boosted tonight by the news of Rodgers' arrival. He'll be watching on at the King Power, hoping that his new team can respond from the 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace that led to Claude Puel's dismissal.
Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert is still searching for an elusive first win. Since the German replaced compatriot David Wagner, he has seen his side slip to four successive defeats in the Premier League.
The Terriers now find themselves 14 points from safety and tonight face a Wolves side looking to finish as the best of the rest in what has been an excellent first season back in the top flight.
Newcastle and Burnley, who meet at St James' Park this evening, are both teams in form. Rafa Benitez and Sean Dyche have, over the last few weeks, expertly guided their sides away from the relegation zone.
Neither are safe yet, though. Burnley, after their shock win over Tottenham on Saturday, sit six points above the bottom three, while Newcastle are four points clear following their 2-0 win over Huddersfield.
The Magpies will be hoping for another impressive performance from new signing Miguel Almiron. The Paraguayan, who joined in January as the club's record signing, linked up well with Salomon Rondon on Saturday, and could cause Burnley's back four problems tonight.
This is a big game for Everton and manager Marco Silva. The Toffees have lost their last three in the Premier League and have not played a competitive game for two weeks.
That might give Cardiff the advantage. Neil Warnock's side will be looking for a response after Friday night's heavy defeat against Watford. And they will be fully aware, with the gap to Southampton in 18th just one point, of the need for wins.
