Written by Aviran Zazon
The Premier League run-in is getting intense at both ends, with Arsenal trying to protect a five-point lead over Manchester City and West Ham starting the weekend in 18th with almost no room for error.
This breakdown covers all 10 fixtures from Saturday 9 May to Monday 11 May 2026, including one Match of the Week pick, with a look at what each game means in the league table and where ticket interest is likely to sit.

Liverpool vs Chelsea – Anfield, Liverpool (Saturday 9 May 2026)
Anfield is the setting for a late-season test, even with Chelsea trying to make up ground from ninth after a disastrous few weeks. Liverpool are fourth on 58 points, six behind Manchester United after last week's defeat, while the Blues are 10 points further back on 48. Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and the fit-again Alexander Isak should help the Reds’ spine, with Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernández and João Pedro likely to be among Chelsea’s main names. Expect a noisy Kop end for the arrival of a bitter rival.

Fulham vs Bournemouth – Craven Cottage, London (Saturday 9 May 2026)
The Thames-side setting at Craven Cottage suits a match that could still make a big impact on the middle of the league table. Fulham are 11th on 48 points, four behind sixth-placed Bournemouth, so a home win would pull the Cottagers right back towards that tightly-packed cluster above them. Bernd Leno, Joachim Andersen and Raúl Jiménez should be involved for Fulham, while Evanilson, Justin Kluivert and the exciting Eli Junior Kroupi give the Cherries enough punch to make this awkward for the home side.

Brighton vs Wolves – American Express Stadium, Brighton (Saturday 9 May 2026)
Brighton still have European football to chase from eighth, sitting on 50 points and only two behind Bournemouth in sixth. That should keep the home crowd at the American Express Stadium engaged throughout. The Seagulls should have Carlos Baleba, Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck in the matchday picture, following news that boss Fabian Hürzeler has signed a new deal. Wolves are 20th on 18 points, so this is more about pride and giving travelling supporters something back. Mateus Mané and Tolu Arokodare are the names most likely to carry their attacking threat.

Sunderland vs Manchester United – Stadium Of Light, Sunderland (Saturday 9 May 2026)
The Stadium of Light should be lively for this one, with Sunderland 12th on 47 points and still close enough to the top half to have something to fight for. The Black Cats are four points behind Brentford in seventh, while Manchester United sit third on 64, six ahead of Liverpool. Granti Xhaka, Brobbey and Enzo Le Fée are the Sunderland players who can make a real difference, while Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo are sure to feature for the Red Devils. A United win would strengthen their grip on third; a Sunderland result keeps their late-season push alive.

Manchester City vs Brentford – Etihad Stadium, Manchester (Saturday 9 May 2026)
Manchester City are chasing from second on 71 points, five behind Arsenal with a game in hand, so there is no mystery about what they need at the Etihad Stadium following a slip at Everton on Monday. The champions’ home crowd will expect pressure, possession and lots of chances, with Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva and Rayan Cherki likely to provide that cutting edge. Never to be written off, Brentford are seventh on 51, which gives the Bees their own incentive for European places rather than making this a simple affair. Igor Thiago, Jordan Henderson and Damsgaard should be involved in a Brentford side with enough quality to make City work.

Crystal Palace vs Everton FC – Selhurst Park, London (Sunday 10 May 2026)
Selhurst Park can feel tight and noisy at any time, even for a match that appears to have little riding on it. Crystal Palace are 15th on 43 points and should be safe at seven points above West Ham in 18th. Still, the Eagles have a bit have work to do before they can fully relax. Everton are 10th on 48, level with Chelsea and Fulham, and the Toffees can still end a transitional season with a strong top-half finish. Ismaïla Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta should be key to Palace's threat, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Iliman Ndiaye give Everton plenty of invention.

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United – City Ground, Nottingham (Sunday 10 May 2026)
The City Ground always gives Nottingham Forest a 12th man, and they will need it for this clash following their Europa League exploits. Forest are 16th on 42 points, six above West Ham, and a win here could seal Premier League football for another year. Stuttering Newcastle United are 13th on 45, only three ahead of Forest, so the Magpies represent a decent target for the home team. Callum Hudson-Odoi, Taiwo Awoniyi and Chris Wood should be involved for Forest, while the returning Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Gordon give Newcastle enough quality to punish loose spells.

Burnley vs Aston Villa – Turf Moor, Burnley (Sunday 10 May 2026)
Burnley have had a tough return to the Premier League and are now down with just 20 points. Still Turf Moor can still make afternoons awkward for visiting sides, especially when the home crowd gets behind the Clarets early. Martin Dúbravka and Lyle Foster should give Burnley familiar names across the pitch. Aston Villa are fifth on 58, and need the points to secure Champions League football next season. Ollie Watkins, Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers are likely to feature for Villa, who will be taking this one seriously.

West Ham United vs Arsenal – London Stadium, London (Sunday 10 May 2026)
Match of the Week
A London derby with huge consequences at both ends of the league table makes West Ham United against Arsenal an obvious Match of the Week. The Hammers are 18th on 36 points, one behind Tottenham, so even a draw could matter depending on what Spurs do later in the round. Arsenal are top on 76, five points clear of Manchester City, and the Gunners make this trip to the London Stadium after a successful if draining semi-final in the Champions League. Jarrod Bowen, El Hadji Malick Diouf and Callum Wilson should be involved for West Ham, while the in-form Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyökeres and William Saliba give Arsenal plenty of star quality.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London (Monday 11 May 2026)
This matchweek stretches into Monday in north London, where Tottenham Hotspur start on 37 points, chased by West Ham. That makes the home fixture at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium very different from a typical end-of-season evening in N17. Spurs should have Richarlison, Mathys Tel and João Palhinha in the matchday conversation, while Leeds United arrive feeling safe, six clear of Tottenham and seven above West Ham. The Whites have Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor as useful names for a match where a point would suit the visitors far more than the hosts.
