The games are running out in the Premier League.
In less than one month, it will be all over – we will know the title winners, teams that have qualified for Europe and those going down to the Championship.
The games this weekend will go a long way in determining some of those destinies.
So, which matches could we see shock results?
1. West Ham vs Liverpool: Following a 2-0 defeat to Merseyside rivals, Everton in midweek, Liverpool’s title ambitions are hanging by a thread.
The Reds need a win at the London Stadium to remain in contention. It will be their third consecutive away fixture within a week and the Hammers will definitely be tricky customers.
2. Man Utd vs Burnley: Although United defeated Sheffield 4-2 on Wednesday, the manner of that win felt like a loss. The Blades, who are almost certain to be relegated, gave the Red Devils a proper fright at Old Trafford.
This weekend, Burnley who are also fighting to stay in the topflight, will be the guest at the Theatre of Dreams and you can expect anything.
3. Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Unai Emery’s men have emerged as one of the real surprises of the season. It is all but certain that they will finish in fourth place.
However, Chelsea have virtually nothing to play for this season and could instead be party poopers, as Villa try to hold off Tottenham for that final Champions League spot.
4. Nottingham vs Man City: Pep Guardiola’s men tripped up in this same fixture last season. The champions watched Arsenal come from behind to beat Villa while on their way to the Forest Ground and ended up dropping points.
It could be a game of deja vu, as the Gunners play in the North London Derby just before City kick off against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men.
