Predicting Gameweek 37 in the Premier League
This weekend marks a crucial moment in the Premier League with many key decisions yet to be made, including who will win the title, who will secure a top-four finish, and who will be relegated. There are plenty of exciting matches to look forward to, with some potentially decisive outcomes, such as Newcastle vs Leicester, where a Champions League place and relegation spot are at stake. Below are 90min's predictions for the upcoming weekend:
Tottenham must beat Brentford to keep their Europa League hopes alive as they fight for a place in the top four. A high-scoring encounter may be on the cards before a raft of 3pm kick-offs, including Manchester United's trip to Bournemouth and Liverpool's home game with Aston Villa. The Reds are on a good run, and that is likely to continue at Anfield.
At the bottom of the table, Everton could all but secure their place in the Premier League with a win against Wolves, while Fulham's clash with Crystal Palace may end in a draw with nothing at stake. Arsenal must keep their faint title hopes alive with a victory against Nottingham Forest in the late game on Saturday.

Sunday kicks off with Sam Allardyce leading relegation-threatened Leeds to his former club West Ham, who are still riding high after reaching the Europa Conference League final. It could be a tense encounter with a draw the likely outcome while Brighton are expected to beat Southampton at the AMEX. The headline act of the day could see Manchester City crowned Premier League champions for the third consecutive season as they take on Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. Finally, Newcastle have the chance to secure a Champions League finish and relegate Leicester if they win on Monday – a tough task for Eddie Howe's side considering Newcastle's recent form.
