Premier League fixtures today – your guide to Tuesday’s games


The Premier League action continues to roll around in the wake of the March international break with four games taking place on Tuesday evening.

The apparent absence of a mid-table means there’s something on the line in every encounter right now. On Tuesday, the fight for survival and the race for Europe will be put in the spotlight.

A dramatic evening of midweek Premier League action awaits, and here’s our guide to each of the four games.

Two sides that barely have their heads afloat in the relegation dogfight meet at Elland Road in a huge six-pointer.

The hosts are perhaps a more wily outfit under Javi Gracia than they were with Jesse Marsch at the helm, and they did a good job of stifling Arsenal at the weekend before the Gunners turned it on in the second half.

This is the game Leeds have to win, and Gracia could welcome Wilfried Gnonto back to the fold.

Forest were pegged back by Wolves on Saturday, and those two dropped points could prove critical when it’s all said and done given their City Ground reliance. Steve Cooper’s side boast the worst away record in the Premier League having picked up six points and scoring just four times in 13 games. They’ve got to start collecting points on their travels otherwise the drop beckons.

Brighton & Hove Albion v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League

This Bournemouth side just keep finding a way, don’t they? The Cherries came from behind to beat Fulham on home soil at the weekend to bolster their survival bid.

However, they’re back on the road in midweek as they make the short trip across the south coast to the AMEX Stadium where the neutral’s favourite await.

Brighton played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with fellow European hopefuls Brentford last time out and are in an excellent position to claim their first-ever continental berth.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side sit sixth in the table having played fewer games than their rivals, and many will expect them to overcome a Bournemouth side that have lost ten of their 14 away games this season.

It was another miserable weekend for Leicester as they slumped into the relegation zone following their pitiful 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace.

The performance and result rendered Brendan Rodgers’ position at the club untenable, and the Foxes parted ways with their long-time boss on Sunday. Thus, they’ll be manager-less when they welcome Aston Villa to the King Power on Tuesday evening.

Unai Emery’s Villans are destined for a smooth conclusion to the season with their mid-table finish inevitable. They’re just here to mess up everybody else’s season now. Emery’s side outsmarted Chelsea at the weekend in a 2-0 victory and moved up to ninth as a result.

The visitors will be looking to avenge their 4-2 defeat at Villa Park in this one.

It was a rather depressing affair between these two sides in the reverse fixture at Anfield, as two of the Premier League’s behemoths played out a stalemate amid their wretched 2022/23 campaigns.

Chelsea’s woes sunk to even more miserable depths at the weekend as they were beaten at home by Aston Villa which cost Graham Potter his job. Thus, the Blues will be led by Brighton legend Bruno Saltor on Tuesday night as the Reds come to town.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were thumped by former title rivals Man City at the weekend as their bid for a top-four finish was dealt another blow. They’re four points ahead of 11th place Chelsea in eighth but are now eight points adrift of Man Utd in fourth.

This is a contest Liverpool simply have to win.
