Leicester City moved up to second in the Premier League after a 2-0 victory over Arsenal on Saturday, further denting the Gunners' hopes of a top-four finish.
Chelsea also secured a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, jumping above Manchester City into third place.
However, it was a disappointing day for north London's big two, as Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Sheffield United, slipping to 12th in the table.
League leaders Liverpool will host Manchester City in a highly-anticipated clash on Sunday, with the champions of Europe facing off against the champions of England at Anfield.
Leicester and Chelsea took advantage of kicking off a day earlier to move a point ahead of Manchester City and close to within five of Liverpool.
The Foxes' superior goal difference takes them into second place, as second-half strikes from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison piled more pressure on beleaguered Arsenal boss Unai Emery.
Arsenal are now eight points adrift of the top four and will fall even further behind should Manchester City avoid defeat at Anfield.
Chelsea's patient performance broke down a defensively dogged Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge, with Tammy Abraham opening the scoring and Christian Pulisic securing all three points with his fifth goal in his last three Premier League games.
"We won the game relatively comfortably," said Chelsea boss Frank Lampard. "A nice, solid win with a clean sheet."
Tottenham were lucky to escape with a point as Sheffield United impressed once more to move up to fifth place.
"The reality is that for different reasons we are not showing the performances that we expect," said Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino. "We are not in a good position in the table."
West Ham's woes continued as they were beaten 3-0 at Burnley, stretching their winless streak to seven games.
Everton moved six points clear of the relegation zone thanks to a 2-1 win at Southampton, easing the pressure on Marco Silva.
And Newcastle are now seven points clear of the drop zone after coming from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 at St James' Park.
