Attention switches away from the title race on Easter Monday as both Chelsea and Manchester United play in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

Instead, the race for Europe and the battle to avoid relegation come to the fore as six games take place in England's top flight.

Bolton and Everton face off at The Reebok Stadium in the meeting of fifth and sixth, whilst Arsenal will be hoping to stave off the threat of both sides when they travel to Newcastle, live on PremPlus.

Portsmouth are still targeting Europe and visit Watford, who look to be dead and buried at the bottom of the table, in the early kick-off on Sky Sports 1.

Charlton have boosted their own prospects of survival with an improved run of form and will hope to continue their revival in a home game against Reading which is also live on Sky Sports 1.

The Addicks are only two points behind Wigan at present, and Paul Jewell's side are in desperate need of a result when they take on a resurgent Aston Villa in the Midlands.

Fulham are another side hoping to avoid being pulled into the drop zone and host Manchester City, who are just two points ahead of them in 14th.
