This weekend promises to be a thrilling one in the Premier League, with several high-stakes fixtures that could shake up the table.



The standout clash of Matchday 25 sees Manchester City host Liverpool on Sunday, a game that could have huge implications for the title race.

Before that, Arsenal could momentarily open up a five-point gap over Liverpool if they defeat West Ham on Saturday. Meanwhile, Manchester United face a tricky test at Everton, adding more drama to an already unpredictable weekend.

Here are four matches where we could see major upsets unfold:

1. Everton vs Manchester United

This unexpected relegation battle sees two struggling giants face off at Goodison Park. Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Tottenham last weekend dropped them to 15th place, just one spot below Everton. If the Red Devils fall to David Moyes’ men in Saturday’s early kick-off, they’ll be in serious trouble as the season reaches its climax.

2. Arsenal vs West Ham

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are under immense pressure to secure three points at the Emirates. A draw simply won’t be enough if they hope to keep pace with Liverpool in the title race. However, this is exactly the kind of fixture that cost them last season. Despite lacking a recognized striker, the Gunners must find a way to break down a resilient West Ham side and grab a crucial victory.

3. Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Aston Villa return to Villa Park for another major showdown, having narrowly missed out on a win against Liverpool in midweek. Chelsea, struggling for consistency, arrive at a vulnerable time. Unai Emery’s side will be eager to claim three points and push for a spot in European competition next season. This could be another frustrating outing for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.

4. Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest

Newcastle were dismantled by Manchester City last weekend, with Omar Marmoush scoring a sensational first-half hat-trick that put the game out of reach early. The Magpies now need a strong response at St. James’ Park. However, Nottingham Forest arrive in impressive form and are firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish. This could be a tricky fixture for Eddie Howe’s side, with an upset on the cards.

As the Premier League enters a crucial phase, expect drama, surprises, and potentially season-defining results. Stay tuned for an electrifying weekend of football!
