As the Premier League season enters its closing weeks, attention turns to a crucial round of fixtures that could shape both the top and bottom of the table.
This weekend, Chelsea and Manchester City will not be in league action due to their FA Cup semi-final clashes against Leeds United and Southampton, respectively.
However, several other matches could deliver unexpected outcomes.
Wolves vs Spurs
Wolverhampton Wanderers have already been relegated from the top flight this season, but they could still influence the relegation battle. Their opponents, Tottenham Hotspur, remain in danger and are enduring a poor run, having failed to win in 2026. With Wolves playing without pressure and Spurs struggling for form, an upset is a real possibility.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace
Liverpool FC are currently well-placed to secure fifth position, especially after Chelsea dropped points in recent weeks. But consistency is key at this stage. Crystal Palace arrive at Anfield in solid form and are pushing to break into the top half, making this a potentially tricky encounter for the hosts.
Manchester United vs Brentford
Manchester United appear to have their Champions League qualification largely secured, but their visitors have plenty to fight for. Brentford FC are surprisingly in contention for a top-four finish with just five games remaining. A positive result at Old Trafford could boost their ambitions, and they will be aiming to take advantage of any complacency from United.
