Manchester City will hope to clinch a fourth league title in five seasons when Aston Villa comes to town on this final game of the season. The Citizens simply have to win to clinch another league title, but a slip up from them will see Liverpool crown champions if the Reds win their match. City were more than 10 points ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s men at the start of this year, but they remarkably closed the gap and just a point separates both clubs going into this final game of the season. Pep Guardiola’s men will go trophyless in this campaign if they fail to win this game and the Premier League and that is a prospect only a few people will believe can happen. Aston Villa has had a good season with former Liverpool player, Steven Gerrard as their manager and the former England captain will be looking to help his former club with some favour. Danny Ings and Philippe Coutinho are two other former Liverpool players in the Villa squad and they would be keen to ensure they get points from the defending champions to aid the Reds. Villa’s only loss in their last five matches was the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool, but they struggle in matches against City. The Villans have lost all their last five matches against the Champions and they will be desperate to ensure they end that terrible run in this fixture.

Liverpool will host Wolves in this final match of the season hoping to earn a win that could make them win the Premier League title for the 2022/2023 season. It is not as straightforward as that because Manchester City can win the title if they beat Aston Villa at home on the final day of the season too. The Reds have come a long way having already won two trophies in this campaign in their search for a historic quadruple. They also have a Champions League final to look forward to, but first, they have to beat Wolves in this fixture. the visitors come to Anfield on a poor run of form that includes no wins and three losses from their last five competitive games. They have also lost all their last five matches against Liverpool either home or away and these stats point to another home win for the Reds. But Jurgen Klopp’s men still have to be at their best if they are serious about adding the Premier League to their trophy cabinet.

Arsenal needs to beat Newcastle United to return to a place in the top four after Tottenham beat Burnley at the weekend. The Gunners could easily have secured a return to the Champions League with a draw in this game if they didn’t lose their last match to Tottenham. The Lilywhites have now cut down on their points lead and even a win for Arsenal in this match will be just enough to keep them ahead of Spurs until their final game of the season. Newcastle United have recovered from a very bad start under Steve Bruce to survive relegation. That they are now safe enough not to think about the drop means Eddie Howe deserves a lot of credit. His team is well equipped to do even better next season and perhaps qualify for a European competition. But they will want to end this season well and that might involve throwing spanner into Arsenal’s European dreams. Newcastle has lost their last two Premier League games, but they were against Liverpool and Manchester City, so this game might not be that tough. Arsenal will have to enter this match prepared to suffer to get their desired result because the Magpies will not make things easy for them.

Arsenal hosts Manchester United for this important Premier League game after their impressive 4-2 win at Chelsea in their last outing. After losing three consecutive games, we all thought Mikel Arteta’s men were dead and buried and will not challenge for a Champions League spot again. However, their win against Chelsea in their last game has renewed their push for the top four and they will look to beat a struggling United in this match. The Red Devils have some of the best players in the world on their team, but they cannot put results together and now risks missing out on a place in the top four. They were beaten 4-0 by Liverpool in their last game and that result makes this match a must-win for them. With Cristiano Ronaldo returning to training and available to play this game, they have a boost. However, he alone cannot get the team the win and the other players need to work hard to achieve that against a determined Arsenal side. Manchester United won the last time they met, but Arsenal had not lost any of the previous four encounters.

Arsenal will look to get back to winning ways when they face Aston Villa in the Premier League for this game. The Gunners have just been beaten 2-0 at home by Liverpool, but they will feel Liverpool is one of the most in-form clubs in the world now. Mikel Arteta’s side has done very well against lesser opponents, but can they beat Villa? They might not be playing against Liverpool, but they will face a former Liverpool star in hot form. Philippe Coutinho joined Steven Gerrard’s side at the start of this year and he has been lighting up the Premier League. The midfielder has 4 goals from 9 Premier League games and will be keen to improve on that tally when he visits Villa. Arsenal won the reverse of this fixture, but Villa had won the previous three matches between both clubs and would be fancying their chances of upsetting the odds in this game.

City will visit Palace hoping to keep the gap between them and Liverpool at the top of the league table at 6 points, before the Reds play their outstanding game. Pep Guardiola’s side are under a lot of pressure to keep winning matches and Jurgen Klopp’s men relentlessly pursue them. Both clubs will still face each other in the league this season in a game that could decide where the title ends, but City needs to keep winning. Palace has been an exciting club to watch under Patrick Vieira this season and they will put up a real show in London for this game. They have won so many matches, but they have done enough to secure a comfortable finish inside the top half of the league table. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last four matches and will not want to lose that record at home to City. City was beaten by Tottenham not so long ago, and they will be worry about losing to yet another London club. When both clubs met in the reverse of this fixture, City lost 2-0 at home to an unfancied Palace side, and a similar result will be disastrous.

Leeds United’s new manager, Jesse Marsch will look to get off to a winning start when he takes his side to visit Leicester City for this crunch Premier League game. The American will quickly want to plug holes in a very leaky defence that conceded 20 goals in last month alone. Leeds’ defence has always been poor, but this time they just concede and rarely score, which forced them to sack Marcelo Bielsa. Leicester City is recovering from a bad form which nearly cost Brendan Rodgers his job and they will want to get their three points from Leeds. They have won their last two matches against Randers and Burnley. The return of Jamie Vardy to full fitness means they will have a strong squad for this game. While Leicester have three wins from their last five matches, Leeds has lost their last four matches in all competitions and conceded 10 goals in the last two. This stat means Vardy could take good advantage of the Whites and score as many goals as he could in this game. Matches between these two sides have been close, but Leeds are unbeaten in the last two head to heads.

Everton faces the toughest test of the Frank Lampard era when Manchester City comes to town for this fixture. The Toffees have been inconsistent since the former midfielder became their boss and they would face a City side that needs to be ruthless. Tottenham beat Pep Guardiola’s side in their last league game to blow the title race wide open and Lampard can help Liverpool close the gap at the top. He played for Chelsea and now manages Everton, so he is the wrong person to help Liverpool, but his team needs a positive result more than the Reds do. Everton has lost two and won two of their competitive matches under Lampard, but they have lost two of their last three matches in the league. Before losing to Tottenham, City were on a splendid run of form and Pep Guardiola’s side is a well-oiled machine that can easily return to form. They would play under some kind of pressure in this game, but Everton would need to be at their brilliant best to stop the defending champions from winning.
