Manchester City vs Crystal Palace – Etihad Stadium, Manchester (Wednesday 13 May 2026)
Manchester City are five points behind Arsenal, so the Etihad crowd will know exactly what a home win would do before the weekend fixtures arrive. Defeat or a draw would allow Arsenal to clinch the title with a win against Burnley. Crystal Palace, 15th on 44 points are now safe, may be looking forward to the UEFA Europa Conference League Final. Erling Haaland and Jérémy Doku should be central to City’s threat, while the Eagles have Ismaïla Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta as obvious attacking references. At the Etihad Stadium, longside seats will give you the clearest view of this decisive encounter.

Aston Villa vs Liverpool – Villa Park, Birmingham (Friday 15 May 2026)
Level on 59 points, Aston Villa and Liverpool meet at Villa Park with fourth place and fifth place separated only by the table order. Under the lights in Birmingham, this match could have massive repercussions for both teams. Villa should have Ollie Watkins and John McGinn involved, while the Reds can call on the likes Virgil van Dijk and Florian Wirtz. A win gives either side clear breathing space before the final round, while a draw keeps both looking over their shoulders at Bournemouth.
If you’re comparing prices and seat areas, it’s easier to compare available options in one place rather than opening tab after tab.

Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest – Old Trafford, Manchester (Sunday 17 May 2026)
There will be a gentler, end-of-season atmosphere at Old Trafford for this one: Manchester United are 3rd on 65 points, six clear of Liverpool and Villa, while Nottingham Forest are now assured of Premier League football next season. Forest are not far off mid-table, so could gain a couple of places by the end of the season . Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Šeško should be involved for United, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Matz Sels among Forest’s likely names. Get a shortside seat in the Stretford End at Old Trafford, to join the diehard Red Devils fans at the end of a rollercoaster season. .

Everton vs Sunderland – Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool (Sunday 17 May 2026)
The end-of-season atmosphere around Hill Dickinson Stadium gives this one a bit of extra pull, especially with Everton sitting comfortable in 10th on 49 points and Sunderland just one point behind them in 12th. The Toffees are close enough to Brentford and Brighton to perhaps look upwards, while the Black Cats have made themselves far more than promoted cannon fodder. Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite and Iliman Ndiaye should be among the Everton names to watch, with Granit Xhaka and Brian Brobbey give Sunderland plenty of personality through the middle and final third.
Leeds United vs Brighton – Elland Road, Leeds (Sunday 17 May 2026)
Now safe, Leeds United are 14th on 44 points, level with Palace and one ahead of Forest, so Elland Road has every reason to be loud. The Whites know a win could life them up the table, while Brighton, 7th on 53, are still close enough to Bournemouth to keep pushing for Europe. Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ao Tanaka should be involved for Leeds, with Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh likely to feature for the Seagulls. At Elland Road, the low, tight feel behind the goals is the place to be if you want atmosphere.

Wolves vs Fulham – Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton (Sunday 17 May 2026)
Wolves are long gone, so this is more about pride, home response and giving supporters something to take from the run-in. Fulham, 11th on 48, have the calmer position but are still close enough to Everton and Sunderland for places to shift. João Gomes, rumoured to be in the shop window, should be involved for the home side, while the Cottagers can look to Harry Wilson, Raúl Jiménez and Emile Smith Rowe to put some gloss on another respectable campaign.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace – Community Stadium, London (Sunday 17 May 2026)
A compact London ground gives this derby plenty of buzz. Brentford are 8th on 51 points, only two behind Brighton and four behind Bournemouth, so the Bees still have reason to treat this as more than a mid-table afternoon. Crystal Palace, 15th on 44, arrive after visiting Manchester City earlier in the week and may be rotating ahead of their European final. Igor Thiago and Nathan Collins should be involved for Brentford, while Palace's lineup should be much changed from Wednesday. At the Community Stadium, the corners and lower longside put you right in front of the action.

Newcastle United vs West Ham United – St James’ Park, Newcastle (Sunday 17 May 2026)
After a frustrating season, Newcastle United are 13th on 46 points, two behind Fulham and Sunderland, so a home win would pull the Magpies back towards mid-table respectability. For West Ham United, things are a lot more pressing, with the Hammers 18th on 36, just two behind Tottenham in 17th. They can make a big statement before Spurs' rescheduled encounter with Chelsea on the 19th of May. Bruno Guimarães, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes should be involved for Newcastle, while Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paquetá and Tomáš Souček remain important names for West Ham. The high tiers at St James’ Park, especially in the Milburn Stand, give a sweeping view, but the noise is usually at its best lower down, in the Gallowgate Stand.

Match of The Week: Arsenal vs Burnley – Emirates Stadium, London (Monday 18 May 2026)
Arsenal start this one top of the table on 79 points, five clear of Manchester City, so a home win at the Emirates Stadium would keep the title race firmly in their hands. Depending Man City's result vs Crystal Palace, it may even be enough to clinch the Gunners' first title for 22 years. Burnley are already down, but have shown a bit of life in recent matches and may want to have their say in the title fight. Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyökeres and Declan rice should be involved for the Gunners, while Lyle Foster, Marcus Edwards and Kyle Walker give Burnley experience and pace to lean on.
