Here's my few cents worth;
Palace v Everton - usually a great atmosphere at C Palace's stadium (small intimate, massive noise generated within the stadium), but at that stage of the season both teams may have little to play for. May not have much impact on the game's intensity, but something to consider for sure.
Fulham v Cardiff - Fulham play at Craven Cottage, a very friendly and welcoming stadium (voted best away day by premier league fans). Could be a relegation dogfight with these two teams by the end of April, and you would be pretty much guaranteed goals. The stadium is not in central London, but is easily accessible by train.
Spurs v West Ham - the winner in terms of prestige, Spurs may be in their new stadium at this point, and if not they will be playing in Wembley. It's also a london derby, so the intensity is sure to be there. Spurs will be favourite, but West Ham are a decent side who will give them a good game. Guaranteed Goals, and good quality of football.
Stadium capacity of Fulham & Crystal Palace is around 25-26,000. Spurs' new stadium (should be ready by March, but date keeps getting pushed out) will have capacity of 61,000. And Wembley holds 90,000.
My pick of the 3 fixtures would be Spurs v West Ham - best stadium (does not mean best atmosphere!), most prestige, and best in terms of the quality of football being played. However this will probably be the toughest game to get a ticket for, especially if Spurs are in their brand new stadium by then. Your best hope would be that Spurs are still playing their home games at Wembley, as these rarely sell out.
My second choice would be Fulham v Cardiff, as it's such an enjoyable day out at Craven Cottage, and these two teams could be fighting for their lives by the end of April, and in direct competition to avoid relegation.
You're welcome. Looks like Spurs won't be in their new stadium by then, so a ticket to see them at Wembley may be your best bet. AND they've put a few results together so may still be in contention for the league come the end of April. Good luck
I’d say Everton vs Crystal Palace should be a pretty exciting game with good atmosphere.Everton have a bit of flair about them and Crystal Palace are coming off the back of scoring 3 against Liverpool
Thanks!
What's the deal with tickets? Any idea when tickets for the April 27th games will be available to the public? Seems like they go on sale about 6 weeks out, is that right? For Crystal Palace do you think that I as a non supporter/club member/season ticket holder/whatever can expect to be able to purchase them through the team's site?
West Ham vs spurs as you’ll likely see some fireworks as both are London teams that dislike each other. Whatever game you go to, hope you enjoy it.

Just saw this reply. Really appreciate the detailed response. Thanks!

I would think West Ham vs Spurs at Wembley would be good. They’re both London teams, and you get to see them play in the biggest stadium in England.

Selhurst Park is a blast. I hope you score tickets.
