Premier League fixtures today - your guide to Tuesday's games

After a weekend of exciting FA Cup action, the Premier League returns to our screens on Tuesday with five games to follow.

Arsenal will be well-rested after their winter break and begin the evening's fixture list with their trip to Nottingham Forest, while the likes of Everton and Brighton also feature before Aston Villa host Newcastle in the late kick-off.

Here's how you can follow Tuesday's slate of matches in the Premier League.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal

• Location: Nottingham, England
• Stadium: The City Ground
• Date: Tuesday 30 January
• Kick-off time: 19:30 GMT / 14:30 ET / 11:30 PT
• Referee: Simon Hooper
• VAR: Jarred Gillett

Arsenal endured some turbulent times over the festive period, being top at Christmas before dropping to fourth by New Year's Day, so the 5-0 win over Crystal Palace and subsequent ten-day rest period will have done Mikel Arteta's squad the world of good.

The Spaniard will hope the chatter around Europe over his future subsides as the Gunners attempt to lift themselves up to second in the Premier League table when they visit Nottingham Forest in Tuesday's opener.

Nuno Espirito Santo has led Forest four points clear of the relegation zone and has already claimed a large scalp during his short time in charge thanks to the 2-1 win over Manchester United at the end of December.

Fulham vs Everton

• Location: London, England
• Stadium: Craven Cottage
• Date: Tuesday 30 January
• Kick-off time: 19:45 GMT / 14:45 ET / 11:45 PT
• Referee: Tom Bramall
• VAR: David Coote

Fulham have now gone four games without a victory, coming up fruitless in their two Carabao Cup semi-final legs with Liverpool while being beaten by Chelsea in the Premier League and Newcastle in the FA Cup. The upcoming visit of Everton could help the Cottagers refind some form.

The Toffees could do with a morale-boosting away win, especially with matches against Tottenham and Manchester City on the horizon as they attempt to crawl further towards safety, currently sat in 17th.

Luton Town vs Brighton

• Location: Luton, England
• Stadium: Kenilworth Road
• Date: Tuesday 30 January
• Kick-off time: 19:45 GMT / 14:45 ET / 11:45 PT
• Referee: Rob Jones
• VAR: Peter Bankes

Luton Town's dogged determination in fighting against relegation has been admirable in recent months. Rob Edwards' Hatters are only a point behind Everton and have given some of the big clubs of the division real contests.

Brighton will provide a different challenge, however. The Seagulls were at their free-scoring best at Bramall Lane in a 5-2 FA Cup success and boast a number of varying goal threats, though it's Joao Pedro who leads the way with 18 goals in all competitions.

Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United

• Location: London, England
• Stadium: Selhurst Park
• Date: Tuesday 30 January
• Kick-off time: 20:00 GMT / 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT
• Referee: Tony Harrington
• VAR: Chris Kavanagh

There's plenty of disgruntlement doing the rounds at Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace looking a little dishevelled of late, but their recent record against Sheffield United provides cause for optimism ahead of Tuesday's clash.

The Eagles are looking for their fourth consecutive win over the Blades, who have scored just two goals in their last six meetings.

Chris Wilder faces an awfully big task in attempting to steer Sheff Utd to safety, with his side currently marooned at the bottom of the league with only ten points from 21 games.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle

• Location: London, England
• Stadium: Selhurst Park
• Date: Tuesday 30 January
• Kick-off time: 20:15 GMT / 15:15 ET / 12:15 PT
• Referee: Tony Harrington
• VAR: Chris Kavanagh

The stats and form both point to one result when Aston Villa host Newcastle in Tuesday's late kick-off.

Villa are the most dominant team at home so far in the Premier League this season while the Magpies are the second-worst on their away travels, managing only five points in matches played away from St James' Park.

Eddie Howe still has a number of injury absentees to preside over, while Unai Emery is without some key personnel in defence.
