Liverpool and Arne Slot are staring down their first chance to seal the Premier League title. Sitting 13 points ahead of Arsenal, the Reds could be crowned champions as early as Matchday 33. Salah and his teammates face already-relegated Leicester, while Arsenal travel to Ipswich. If Arteta’s side lose and Liverpool win, the title would officially head to Anfield.
Meanwhile, the battle for the remaining three Champions League spots is tighter than ever. From third to seventh, five teams are crammed within just five points.
The team to watch right now is Sandro Tonali’s Newcastle, on a red-hot run of five straight Premier League wins—six if you count their Carabao Cup final triumph. The Magpies, third with 59 points, face a direct showdown at Villa Park against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, currently seventh but only five points adrift. Also in the mix: Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Chelsea. Forest, coming off back-to-back losses, visit Tottenham on Monday. Guardiola’s City take on already-safe Everton, while Maresca’s Chelsea face a London derby away at Fulham.
The table reads: Newcastle 59, Nottingham Forest 57, Manchester City 55, Chelsea and Aston Villa 54. At the bottom, the situation is already defined: Southampton are mathematically relegated, while only the numbers are missing to confirm the drop for both Leicester and Ipswich.
Lastly, after their dramatic Europa League semifinal qualification, Amorim’s Manchester United return to Old Trafford to host Wolves. The Red Devils, stuck in 14th place with just 38 points, are desperate to climb the table in the final stretch.
