There's a midweek slate of Premier League fixtures to enjoy off the back of what felt like a hugely significant weekend at both ends of the table.

Wolves' victory at Bournemouth saw them pull away from the three newly-promoted sides at the foot of the table, while Liverpool opened up an 11-point lead at the summit by winning at Manchester City having seen Arsenal lose 1-0 at home to West Ham.

It looks like the race for Europe will be the pressure point down the stretch, and another huge gameweek beckons in terms of shaping the division's top half.

Here's how 90min predicts all Premier League Gameweek 27 matches to pan out.

The action kicks off with four games on Tuesday night, with three games kicking off at 19:30 (GMT).

Brighton & Hove Albion enjoyed themselves in Saturday's all-south coast affair at Southampton, and they're taking on another neighbour in midweek. Bournemouth were beaten by Wolves at the weekend after going a man down, and head to the Amex with a makeshift defence.

Both of these teams are well in European contention, and a win for Brighton see them draw level with the Cherries on points.

Crystal Palace have turned things around after a horrid start to the season, and they currently occupy a familiar position in mid-table after winning at the weekend. However, they're back at Selhurst Park on Tuesday night with Aston Villa coming to town. Oliver Glasner's side have won just two Premier League games at home this term.

Fulham were beaten by the Eagles on Saturday which saw them lose ground in the race for Europe, and they've now got a tricky away day. Wolverhampton Wanderers may be 17th in the table, but they've impressed in recent outings and are undoubtedly trending in the right direction under Vitor Pereira.

The day's action concludes with an out-of-sorts Chelsea hosting the woeful Southampton. The Blues have lost four of their previous five in all competitions and are now seventh in the table. They were title contenders not so long ago, but they're suddenly outsiders for a Champions League berth. However, surely they'll have enough to beat the league's bottom dwellers under the lights.

Can Arsenal go again after a terrible weekend? / Julian Finney/GettyImages

Tuesday was a mere teaser for Wednesday's belting action, with all of the top five in action.

Arsenal couldn't have endured a worse weekend after losing at home to West Ham and seeing Liverpool win so comfortably in Manchester, with their unlikely title tilt collapsing in one fell swoop.

Can they go again on Wednesday evening with a tough challenge at the City Ground on the horizon? Nottingham Forest have lost back-to-back games, but they remain third in the table and have an excellent home record.

Liverpool will have an idea of what's gone down in Nottingham while they take on Newcastle United in a preview of next month's Carabao Cup final. The Magpies haven't won a league game at Anfield since the mid-90s, but they at least returned to winning ways at the weekend - holding on to beat Forest 4-3.

The Reds' Merseyside rivals, Everton, have enjoyed quite the renaissance under David Moyes, and they had a couple of points stolen from them by Manchester United at Saturday lunchtime. The Toffees have re-emerged as a mightily awkward opponent, but they risk snapping their unbeaten run at Brentford under the lights in west London. The Bees were rampant on Friday night as they put Leicester City to the sword.

Man Utd's point at Goodison Park was hardly an indicator of an imminent resurgence, but they do have a great chance of securing three points at home to Ipswich Town. Ruben Amorim's first outing as Red Devils boss came against the Tractor Boys, who have lost their way over the past few weeks having shown promise during the first half of the season.

Ipswich were thumped 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, and Spurs, who currently boast the longest winning run in the division (three wins), welcome Manchester City to N17. Ange Postecoglou's side have won both meetings with the Cityzens this term, memorably running riot in the reverse fixture, and City boast a wretched record at Spurs' luxurious home ground - they've won just twice since the switch from the old White Hart Lane.

West Ham ended their winless run at Arsenal on Saturday / Julian Finney/GettyImages

There's just one game for us to round off the gameweek on Thursday night, with a buoyant West Ham welcoming Leicester to the London Stadium.

The Hammers executed their game plan superbly at the Emirates on Saturday, limiting a lifeless Arsenal to a mere two shots on target in their 1-0 win. That victory snapped a four-game winless run, and they're now looking for back-to-back wins.

Leicester, in short, are bad, and they produced a shoddy defensive display on home soil against Brentford last time out. There are already questions surrounding Ruud van Nistelrooy's future, and a convincing defeat in east London could trigger more movement in the dugout.
