Here's what to look out for this week with several Premier League matches, Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League, the draw for the round of 16 in the UEFA Europa League and Europa Conference League and the EFL Cup final between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Monday

Matchweek 25 continues with a key encounter as Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park at 20:00 GMT aiming to move out of the bottom three with a first Premier League win in eight matches.

Sean Dyche's Toffees, who are looking to complete their first league double over Palace since 2004/05, face an Eagles side that has lost their last three away Premier League matches during which they have conceded 11 goals.

Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington will lead Palace's team at Goodison Park after Monday's announcement that Roy Hodgson has stepped down as manager at Selhurst Park.

Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola and Thomas Frank will provide the latest team news updates in their press conferences ahead of Manchester City's home match with Brentford on Tuesday.

Tuesday

Man City could leapfrog Arsenal and move up to second in the table with victory against the Bees (19:30 GMT).

A Phil Foden hat-trick secured a 3-1 win for City in the reverse fixture two weeks ago, and success at the Etihad Stadium would take Guardiola's side to 56 points, one point off leaders Liverpool.
