With only eight rounds of games left in the Premier League season, teams are starting to gain clarity on their potential finishing positions, making this weekend’s matches crucial.
Everton vs Arsenal: A Potential Upset
Everton, under the guidance of David Moyes, has become a formidable team, and their recent 1-0 loss to Liverpool was a close call, with Beto hitting the post in the first half; they could pose a significant challenge to Arsenal, who might be distracted by their upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid.
Brentford vs Chelsea: A West London Derby
Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Tottenham on Thursday was not particularly impressive, and Brentford, playing at home, could give Enzo Maresca’s team a tough match, especially considering the rivalry between the two West London teams.
Fulham vs Liverpool: A Potential Banana Skin for the Champions-Elect
A trip to Craven Cottage could be a challenging match for Liverpool, who are expected to win the Premier League title this season, as Fulham looks to bounce back from back-to-back defeats.
Tottenham vs Southampton: A Match with High Stakes
Tottenham, under pressure with Ange Postecoglou’s job security in question, hosts Southampton, a team just a few places below them in the league table, making this match a potential trap for the North London side.
