Bournemouth v Crystal Palace (Tues, 19:45 BST)
Bournemouth host Crystal Palace tomorrow night at the Vitality Stadium with Bournemouth's boss Andoni Iraola looking ahead to a 'difficult' clash.
Since Oliver Glasner took over from Roy Hodgson he has picked up five points in four games.
Iraola led the Cherries to a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park earlier on in the season, "Names-wise they haven't changed a lot.
"It's true they've made a couple of good signings like Daniel Munoz and players in the middle who give them good options," said Iraola.
He added: "Tactically Crystal Palace are completely different. Glasner plays very well with the system he has, it's difficult to defend, players play in between positions and I think they are adapting really well.
"It will be difficult as always but we are in a good run and we need to keep pushing."
Burnley v Wolves (Tues, 19:45 BST)
Wolves manager Gary O'Neil expects Matheus Cunha to be involved against Burnley tomorrow evening.
The Brazilian forward has been out of action since injuring his hamstring earlier this season.
"I think we will see him on Tuesday. He will definitely be in the matchday squad barring anything going wrong between now and then," said, O'Neil.
"He's miles ahead of schedule. When the scan results came through for the injury, it was expected to be somewhere in the region of 10 to 12 weeks. He is just over six and he's doing absolutely everything."
Cunha has made 24 appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring nine and assisting six goals
O'Neil added: "He did a great session on the grass on Friday. Instead of risking him against Villa, he was able to really test his hamstring with a good session."
West Ham v Tottenham (Tue, 20:15 BST)
West Ham United
On opponents Tottenham, David Moyes said: "Tottenham have done well this season, so it's going to be a difficult game.
"The manager has been effective, but we believe in ourselves and we'll try to reproduce the performance we put in against them in December.
"We've tried over the last few years to challenge the big teams at home. There are a lot of big teams, and we always want to give our fans something to shout about.
"This is a big game and it's very important to us."

Reflecting on Saturday's defeat to Newcastle, David Moyes said: "I didn't think the second penalty should've been given. I think it was the wrong decision.
"We've had a few decisions go against us in recent games, but they have gone now and we have to move on."

On Kalvin Phillips, who was caught on camera swearing at a fan, David Moyes said: "Kalvin's a human being and what he needs is support and people to help him, which is what we'll do.
"We need our fans to give all our players the support they require.
"Kalvin's a really good player and I do believe we can still make something out of the time we've got with him here."
Back over to the press conferences now.

Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea: Emma Hayes and Jonas Eidevall clash at final whistle
Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall said it was "irresponsible" of Chelsea counterpart Emma Hayes to refer to "male aggression" when asked about an altercation between the two managers during the Women's League Cup final.
Hayes appeared to push away Eidevall at full-time of Arsenal's 1-0 victory. When asked what happened, Hayes said: "I am not down for male aggression on the touchline. I told him this."
Eidevall said he did not feel "comfortable with the label". The Swede had a brief altercation with Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert during the game, which he said arose because the teams had disagreed about whether there should be a multi-ball system when the ball went out.
"Chelsea wanted a one-ball system," said the Arsenal boss. "So we played with one ball, then in the final minutes they want another ball to play quickly. I said this and Erin was not happy in that situation."

Leah Williamson is still set to report for England duty and will be assessed after the Arsenal defender, 27, came off during Sunday’s Women's League Cup win over Chelsea.
The England captain, who returned from a serious knee injury in January, was replaced as a precaution as she was suffering from discomfort in her knee.

Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall said his team wanted to make Frida Maanum "a champion" after she collapsed on the pitch during the Continental Cup final on Sunday.
Play was stopped for seven minutes when the Norway midfielder went down off the ball in the Gunners' 1-0 extra-time win against Chelsea.
Maanum received medical treatment before being taken off on a stretcher.
She did not need to go to hospital and travelled home with her Arsenal team-mates.
Arsenal earlier said she was in a "stable condition" while Eidevall spoke with the 24-year-old after the match.
The Gunners boss said it was "very scary" when Maanum collapsed, adding: "Immediately after the game, we don't care about winning, we care about Frida – that is most important.
"But there was nothing we could do to control that situation, we can concentrate on football, and we wanted to make Frida a champion."
Ben Haines and Nedum Onuoha are joined by former Liverpool forward Natasha Dowie and former Arsenal defender Jen Beattie to dissect a huge day for the Premier League title race.
They discuss Manchester City’s goalless draw with Arsenal at Etihad Stadium on Sunday and Liverpool’s comeback win at home to Brighton that’s put them in pole position in the title race.
They also discuss Arsenal’s win over Chelsea in the women’s League Cup final and the disagreement between Emma Hayes and Jonas Eidevall over the Arsenal boss' behaviour on the touchline.

Burnley v Wolves (Tue, 19:45 BST)
Burnley
West Ham will be the next of today's news conferences. ICYMI, Burnley manager Vincent Kompany said earlier that the standard of refereeing in the Premier League this season "hasn't been good enough".
Kompany was shown a red card by referee Darren England during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Chelsea for protesting against a penalty decision which led to defender Lorenz Assignon being sent off.
Six Burnley players have been sent off in 30 games this season, the most of any Premier League team.
Kompany said he is "not shying away" from giving feedback to officials and does not have "any issues with being fined".

And the final question for today's Q&A comes from Alan: Why are Arsenal being lauded for a 0-0 result against a weakened Manchester City?
Phil McNulty: I think we have to remember how much they have suffered at Etihad Stadium in the past. They have not won there since January 2015 and have lost eight of their last nine games there, including a 4-1 thrashing late last season that was a massive blow to their title hopes.
Yesterday, they showed steel and resilience. It is a long time since I’ve seen City create so little against anyone, so for that Arsenal deserve praise in my opinion. Time will tell whether they should have shown more ambition and whether this was one point gained or two lost – but I think they deserve to be satisfied and praised for the manner in which they gave City virtually nothing.

Asim: Who do you make favourites for the Premier League title after the weekend fixtures?
Phil McNulty: Hello Asim. My tip has always been Manchester City so I have to stick with that but Liverpool have to be favourites because they are two points clear with nine games left. There will be lots of detours en route to the title but as you are asking me today, I will say Liverpool are favourites.
West Ham v Tottenham (Tues, 20;15 BST)
Tottenham Hotspur
More from Ange Postecoglou, on Brennan Johnson: "Brennan was super at the weekend and he is another one who is young and still developing. He moved to a big club with huge expectations.
"He did well against Villa, but not great against Fulham. But he come off the bench [against Luton Town] and made an impact. He is another one who is understanding more the way we want to play.
"It was always going to be a tough introduction when you are a young player. It is always harder when you're an attacking player."
On on-loan forward Tino Werner: "In terms of his future, like most players, the decisions will be made at the appropriate time. I think he's been great. He's been a really important part of our structure. I think he can also improve."
On Dejan Kulusevski: "He has done a good job. In general we have a young group and that is what we keep saying – my job is to keep pushing them.
"Kulusevski or Brennan, Micky van de Ven or Destiny Udogie, or Pape Matar Sarr. All these guys are in their early 20s, in their first or second year in the Premier League. Our job is to improve all of them."

West Ham v Tottenham (Tue, 20;15 BST)Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham go into the midweek games three points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, with a game in hand. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou added: "We want to finish the season strong and keep building on the foundation of being a team that hopefully in 12 months' time people are looking at us differently and talking about us differently.
"To do that it can't just be about where you finish and how many points you get, it's got to be more than that. Obviously if we finish strong then we'll finish in a decent position and we'll see where that takes us."
