With Liverpool already crowned champions and three teams relegated, the focus of Premier League Matchweek 37 shifts to the fierce competition for Champions League qualification. Five teams remain in the hunt for the four coveted spots behind Liverpool as the season nears its end.
The weekend’s fixtures are spread out, starting Friday with Aston Villa hosting Tottenham and Chelsea welcoming Manchester United. Both matches carry huge weight as these clubs fight to secure or improve their top-five standings.
Sunday’s slate features Arsenal hosting Newcastle in a crucial clash, with Arsenal aiming to solidify second place. Monday brings a tough test for Brighton and Hove Albion as they face league leaders Liverpool, hoping to keep their hopes alive for a spot in the Conference League. The action resumes Tuesday with Crystal Palace facing Manchester City, following their FA Cup final meeting on Saturday.
Predictions point to Arsenal securing a win against Newcastle to strengthen their position. Brighton versus Liverpool is expected to be a close contest, with Liverpool possibly dropping points for the third straight match. Home teams Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Everton are all favored to come away with victories.
Aston Villa have a strong chance to break into the top five if they can avoid defeat against Tottenham. Villa’s impressive unbeaten run of 20 home games across all competitions contrasts with Tottenham’s recent slump, having won only once in their last 10 league matches. The odds favor Villa with a 66.3 percent chance of victory.
Chelsea, aiming to recover from a recent setback, face a tough Manchester United side hungry to boost their Champions League qualification chances. With only two games left in the season, every point will be fiercely contested as these clubs fight to secure their place in Europe’s elite competition.
