With the race for Champions League qualification heating up, this weekend could provide the biggest indication yet as to which team will snatch the final top-four spot in the Premier League.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea appear in pole position to wrap up the first three places, leaving West Ham, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United to battle it out for fourth.
On Saturday, United are set to welcome the Hammers to Old Trafford in what promises to be a fascinating shootout with their top-four rivals, before Tottenham gear up for one of their toughest tests of the season away at Chelsea 24 hours later.
The battle to secure Champions League football should take a significant turn over the weekend, and ahead of those fixtures Sportsmail has broken down West Ham, Spurs, Arsenal and United's chances of sneaking into fourth.
Manchester United's clash with West Ham on Saturday could be key in the top-four race
Tottenham also have a difficult outing in store away at London rivals Chelsea 24 hours later
How the race for the top four in the Premier League is shaping up ahead of the weekend
West Ham - Top-four odds: 15/2 (odds from Sportsbook)
While they currently occupy the all-important fourth spot, David Moyes' men only sit one point clear of Spurs, who have three games-in-hand on their fellow London club.
Arsenal, who have two-games-in-hand, and United, who have one, are also only two points behind.
As a result, defeat for West Ham at Old Trafford would prove a major blow in their bid for Champions League qualification. The bookies have them at evens to do so, 14/5 to claim a draw and 3/1 to come away with a win.
The Hammers are not in the best of form right now, having suffered two defeats in their last five matches heading into Saturday's match.
The odds are against David Moyes' Hammers winning the race for Champions League football
Injuries to key defenders have left them looking slightly more vulnerable at the back than usual in recent games, with only one clean sheet under their belt in the past six weeks.
They also have one of the toughest run-ins between now and the end of the season, with trips to Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea in store, as well as home fixtures against Arsenal and Man City.
Add to that the remainder of their Europa League campaign, which resumes in March, and the odds are somewhat stacked against West Ham keeping hold of fourth place.
Tottenham - Top-four odds: 9/5
Since his arrival at the start of November, Spurs have avoided defeat in each of Antonio Conte's first nine league outings, taking 21 points from a possible 27 and boosting their top-four chances in the process.
It has generally been an encouraging start for the Italian despite some wretched performances in the Carabao Cup and Europa Conference League, meaning if they come away from Stamford Bridge on Sunday with a result he will fancy his chances of taking fourth.
A victory at the home of their London rivals would drag Chelsea into the top-four dogfight, yet Conte will know a point is good enough for his side and likely set them up in a way to ensure they take it.
