Chelsea vs. Swansea
Before Paul Clement's arrival as Swans boss, the Liberty Stadium outfit appeared destined for relegation after a horrendous run of results.
However, the 45-year-old coach has breathed new life into the Welsh team, and they currently reside 15th after months in the bottom three.
Swansea have performed wonders against superior opposition in recent weeks, and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will not take his latest opponents lightly.
The Blues have been a revelation this term, recovering from a calamitous season that saw Jose Mourinho sacked as manager.
Diego Costa and Eden Hazard have both recovered consistency and form that had deserted the pair last year, and Chelsea are now the runaway favourites to scoop the title.
Despite the difference in league position, the visitors have been refuelled by Clement and will be searching for the win at the Bridge.
However, if Costa maintains his ferocity as the lone striker, the Swans will struggle to maintain a clean sheet.
Prediction: Chelsea win 3-1
Leicester vs. Liverpool
The Reds have had more false starts this season than any other team challenging for a top-four berth at the top of the league.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has watched his side fail to win 11 games in the Premier League, but the Anfield giants remain just a point outside of the UEFA Champions League places.
Liverpool now travel to Leicester, who have performed well below the standard of defending champions—a trait replicated by Chelsea last season.
The game will be a very sad occasion for home supporters after Ranieri was shown the door on Thursday night.
Europe has turned into a distraction for the Foxes, and their Premier League survival is at stake as the campaign rushes towards the latter stages.
Jamie Vardy found his scoring boots as his side lost 2-1 against Sevilla in the Champions League, but the England international has been firing blanks this term after a breakout season—a major factor in Ranieri's dismissal.
BBC Match of the Day highlighted the striker's lack of potency before his vital strike in Spain:
Leicester will have another chance to rescue their ambitions in Europe when they host Sevilla in the second leg, but if Liverpool arrive with the intent to attack—as they usually do—it could be a painful match for the hosts.
The Foxes have neither the defence nor the confidence to deal with the Reds in full flight, and Klopp could hammer another nail in the coffin for the champions.
Prediction: Liverpool win 4-1
Spurs vs. Stoke
The Lilywhites have been Chelsea's most consistent challengers this season, but they have flattered to deceive after the Christmas period of games.
Manchester United's form has locked up the top six teams in the league, adding pressure to Spurs, who collapsed last term when they should have been involved at the finishing post.
Stoke will bring a convincing rearguard action to the Lane as manager Mark Hughes continues to drive his team up the table after a terrible start to the season.
The Potters appeared to be relegation candidates but are now all the way up to ninth after finding ways to accumulate points.
This is now a match Spurs cannot afford to lose, especially as Arsenal, City and United will all gain a game in hand.
Harry Kane's scoring form should drag the hosts over the line as they continue to solidify a spot in the chasing pack behind Conte's men.
Prediction: Spurs win 2-1
