As the Premier League season edges toward its conclusion, all eyes will be on a pivotal weekend that could crown Liverpool as champions — or keep the title race alive a little longer.
Should Arsenal falter against relegation-threatened Ipswich Town and Liverpool claim victory over Leicester City at Anfield, the Reds will be officially confirmed as champions. However, with pressure mounting and plenty still to play for across the table, nothing is guaranteed.
Here are the key fixtures to watch this weekend:
- Everton vs Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are in unfamiliar territory, fighting for a top-five finish amid questions about a possible Europa League campaign next season. Speaking on Friday, Guardiola addressed growing speculation over their league position. Meanwhile, Everton, now nearly safe from relegation, will look to spoil City’s plans as they prepare for their final fixtures at Goodison Park. - Ipswich Town vs Arsenal
Arsenal could be heading for a third consecutive second-place finish. Manager Mikel Arteta has prioritized European competition in recent weeks, rotating heavily in the league. Ipswich, desperate for survival, will see this as a must-win clash at Portman Road that could dramatically impact both ends of the table. - Manchester United vs Wolves
After a dramatic 125-minute Europa League quarter-final thriller against Lyon on Thursday, fatigue may weigh heavily on Manchester United. They’ll host a confident Wolves side looking to complete a rare league double over the Red Devils. Viktor Pereira’s men will be quietly confident heading into Old Trafford.
4. Fulham vs Chelsea
It’s been a turbulent few weeks for Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, who suffered a midweek European setback with a 2-1 loss to Legia in the UEFA Conference League. Now sixth in the table and unsure of a Champions League return, they face a spirited Fulham side in the West London Derby. The Cottagers are on a strong run and keen to keep their own European dreams alive.
