Premier League predictions: Gameweek 34

·25 aprile 2025
In addition to a pair of intriguing FA Cup semi-finals, there are seven Premier League fixtures to enjoy this weekend.
The two midweek bouts were significant for multiple reasons, as Manchester City took a big step towards a top-five finish and Arsenal dropped more points in their bid to prolong a one-sided title fight.
The Gunners' 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace means Liverpool require just a point against a team that typically doesn't fare well at Anfield. Well, they haven't fared well anywhere domestically this season.
It's bound to be a decisive Premier League weekend, and here are 90min's predictions for each fixture.

Gameweek 34 begins with a crucial fixture for Chelsea in their pursuit of a Champions League spot. Their come-from-behind win at Fulham last weekend was huge, and this is another must-win game for the Blues given that trips to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are upcoming.
Everton visit Stamford Bridge with a wretched record in west London, but they have proven to be stubborn opposition home and away under David Moyes. Although, Man City struck twice late to beat them last weekend.
Ipswich Town are aiming to avoid the drop this weekend, but they have to win at Newcastle in order to extend their survival bid. The Magpies, who'll have Eddie Howe back on the sidelines, need to bounce back after they succumbed at Villa Park last Saturday.
Even if Ipswich somehow find a way to win at St James' Park, they'll be relegated on Saturday afternoon if West Ham muster a point at Brighton. Two of the league's most out-of-form teams collide at the Amex aiming to ignite something during the final month of the season. While the Hammers are aiming to steer clear of 17th, Brighton are still in the hunt for a potential European spot.
Elsewhere, Southampton are now just a point away from usurping Derby County's record low points tally of 11 after equalising late at West Ham last time out. Fulham once looked set to push for Europe but have lost three of their last four. Like Brighton, they're not out of it just yet.
Leicester's fate was sealed by Trent Alexander-Arnold last Sunday, and Jamie Vardy announced on Thursday that this will be his last season at the King Power. The travelling supporters will offer the Premier League hero a grand reception at Molineux on Saturday, with the Foxes facing a Wolves team that have won five straight games.

This could be the day Liverpool are crowned champions. It should be the day. Tottenham have little interest in spoiling the Reds' day given that it's only Arsenal who can catch the Reds, plus they've got a Europa League semi-final around the corner.
The Reds thumped their upcoming opponents 4-0 the last time these two sides met at Anfield just a couple of months ago in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. Arne Slot's side need just a point against Ange Postecoglou's visitors.
Before that, Manchester United, who enjoyed a midweek of respite, travel down to the south coast to face Bournemouth. The Cherries are in that cluster of teams in with a shot of playing European football next season, but they'll likely have to finish eighth to have a chance of earning their maiden continental berth.
Andoni Iraola's side currently occupy that spot with five games to go, and they'll fancy their chances against a United side with eyes on Athletic Club.
