10 Crucial Questions Ahead of Matchday 38 As the Premier League approaches its thrilling conclusion, EPLNews explores the defining narratives of this weekend’s matches. From potential Champions League qualifiers to teams striving for pride or avoiding ignominy, each game has its own story. Here’s an in-depth analysis of what’s at stake and the key tactical battles to watch. Will Forest or Chelsea Claim the Champions League Spot? A mere three points divide third and seventh position on the final day – a scenario previously unseen in Premier League history. With five clubs still in contention for a UEFA Champions League…

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea Preview Draw or Forest win Both teams to score Few matches on the final day of a Premier League season have carried more significance in the race for UEFA Champions League (UCL) qualification than this high-stakes encounter between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea at the City Ground. For Forest, European football is already guaranteed next season, but an extraordinary opportunity remains: a chance to dine at the top table of European football for the first time since 1980/81, when they were the reigning champions of Europe. Sitting in seventh place and trailing Chelsea by just a single point, Forest…

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview Liverpool to win Over 2.5 goals A monumental occasion awaits at Anfield as Liverpool prepare to lift the Premier League trophy in front of their fans for the first time in 35 years. The Reds were crowned champions in 2019/20 but celebrated in a hauntingly empty stadium due to COVID-19 restrictions. That makes this final-day fixture against Crystal Palace not just a game, but a long-awaited celebration of dominance, resilience, and revival under Arne Slot. While results have dipped since Liverpool officially sealed the title with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Tottenham (D1, L2), few on Merseyside…

Manchester United vs Aston Villa Preview Draw or Villa win Both teams to score Manchester United saw their 2024/25 campaign come to a crushing conclusion in European competition on Wednesday night, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League final. It was a fittingly underwhelming end to what has been widely described as the club’s worst season in over 50 years. A disjointed display in Bilbao capped off a campaign marred by inconsistency, tactical confusion, and a record number of defeats across all competitions. After the loss, head coach Ruben Amorim addressed his future…

Southampton vs Arsenal Preview Arsenal to win Over 1.5 goals for Arsenal It’s been a season to forget for Southampton, and unfortunately for their fans, the curtain will fall at St Mary’s on Sunday with the club’s worst-ever Premier League campaign already confirmed. Relegation was sealed weeks ago, but this final-day encounter against Arsenal offers one last chance to salvage some dignity before dropping into the Championship for 2025/26. However, even that may be a tall order considering the Saints are now staring at the wrong kind of history. Rooted to the foot of the table, Southampton will finish bottom…

Tottenham vs Brighton Preview Brighton to win Over 2.5 goals Tottenham Hotspur ended their 17-year wait for silverware in midweek with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final. Brennan Johnson was the hero on the night, scoring the decisive goal to crown Spurs champions of Europe for the first time since their League Cup triumph in 2008. The result will bring enormous relief to under-pressure manager Ange Postecoglou, whose job security had come into question amid a disastrous domestic campaign. The win also means Postecoglou can now point to a major honour in just…

Wolves vs Brentford Preview Draw or Brentford win Over 2.5 goals Wolverhampton Wanderers head into the final day of the 2024/25 Premier League season aiming to avoid ending their campaign on a sour note. A 4-2 midweek defeat to FA Cup winners Crystal Palace saw Wolves slump to a third successive league defeat for the fourth time this season, a sequence that highlights the inconsistency which has plagued their campaign. That loss confirmed Wolves can finish no higher than 14th, and depending on results elsewhere, they could even slip to 17th if they fail to secure a positive result on Sunday.…

Fulham vs Manchester City Preview City to win Both teams to score Fulham may have seen their dream of qualifying for Europe fade after Brighton’s impressive 3-2 win over Liverpool on Monday, but Marco Silva’s men still have the opportunity to sign off what has been a record-breaking Premier League campaign with a flourish. Their 3-2 triumph over local rivals Brentford last weekend took them to 53 points, their highest ever tally in a single Premier League season. A second successive win to close out the campaign would be a fitting finale at Craven Cottage, especially with champions of recent years…

Newcastle vs Everton Preview Draw or Newcastle win Over 2.5 goals A place in next season’s UEFA Champions League is on the line for Newcastle United, who head into their final Premier League game of the season knowing that victory is the clearest path to glory. Eddie Howe’s side start Matchday 38 level on points (66) with two other top-four contenders, but with goal difference potentially decisive, they know only a win over Everton at St James’ Park will realistically allow them to control their own European destiny. Magpies Eyeing a Return to Europe’s Top Table Despite a 1-0 loss to Arsenal…

Bournemouth vs Leicester Preview Bournemouth to win Over 1.5 goals for Bournemouth The 2024/25 Premier League campaign has been one of progress and promise for Bournemouth under the guidance of Andoni Iraola. However, a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in midweek officially ended their faint hopes of securing a top-eight finish. Despite this disappointment, a top-half placing remains a possibility, with tenth place still within reach depending on other results. To stand any chance of finishing inside the top ten, Bournemouth must first address their poor recent home form, which has seen them win just one of their…
