- Villa, chasing the top-five spot, will welcome Europa League finalists Tottenham
- Arsenal to host third-placed Newcastle in a crucial match
- Champions Liverpool set to visit Brighton
With just two games remaining in this Premier League season, Liverpool has already been declared champions, and the three relegation spots have been secured. However, the race for European qualification is still wide open.
There are 10 matches scheduled from Friday to Tuesday, starting with Aston Villa facing Tottenham and Chelsea playing against Manchester United in a double-header.
Aston Villa vs Tottenham (Friday, 7.30pm)
Aston Villa has won eight of their last ten league games to stay in the top-five race and are favored to beat Tottenham, who might be unfocused due to the upcoming Europa League final next Wednesday.
Villa has had five clean sheets in their last seven league wins, while a weakened Tottenham team had only one shot on target in their recent 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Score prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Tottenham
Chelsea vs Manchester United (Friday, 7.30pm)
Similar to Tottenham, Manchester United might be distracted by the forthcoming Europa League final, and they could be outmatched by Chelsea, who have claimed victory in seven of their last eight league matches at Stamford Bridge, including a 3-1 win against Liverpool.
Score prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Manchester United
Everton vs Southampton (Sunday, 12.00)
In their final Premier League home game at Goodison Park, Everton will be looking to finish strongly against bottom-ranked Southampton, who have suffered defeats in 28 of their 36 matches. However, Southampton has scored in 11 of their last six league games.
Score prediction: Everton 2-1 Southampton
West Ham vs Nottingham Forest (Sunday, 2.15pm)
Nottingham Forest's drop to seventh place in the Premier League comes after only one win in six games. They may struggle against West Ham, who have drawn their last three home league games.
Score prediction: West Ham 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Brentford vs Fulham (Sunday, 3pm)
Brentford's four consecutive wins may give them the edge in a goal-filled match against Fulham, who have lost four of their last five away league games. Brentford has scored four goals against both Brighton and Manchester United in their last two home games.
Score prediction: Brentford 3-2 Fulham
Leicester vs Ipswich (Sunday, 3pm)
In a clash between two relegated teams, Leicester is expected to prevail, having won 2-0 in their last home game against bottom-placed Southampton. Ipswich has won only one of their last 17 top-flight matches.
Score prediction: Leicester 2-0 Ipswich
Arsenal vs Newcastle (Sunday, 16.30pm)
Arsenal's recent form in the Premier League has not been impressive, with only three wins in their last 11 matches. They face a tough task against Newcastle, who are just two points behind in third place and have won all three encounters this season.
Score prediction: Arsenal 0-2 Newcastle
Brighton vs Liverpool (Monday, 8pm)
Champions Liverpool, having won only two of their last six away league games, might struggle against Brighton, where both teams have scored in eight of their last ten matches.
Score prediction: Brighton 2-2 Liverpool
Crystal Palace vs Wolves (Tuesday, 8pm)
Crystal Palace may be vulnerable after their FA Cup final encounter with Manchester City when they face Wolves, who had registered six consecutive league wins before facing Manchester City and Brighton.
Score prediction: Crystal Palace 1-2 Wolves
Manchester City vs Bournemouth (Tuesday, 8pm)
Manchester City, unbeaten in eight league games, should have enough in the tank to overcome a fatigued Bournemouth side, who have won only three of their last 13 league games.
Score prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Bournemouth
