The end of the Premier League season is right around the corner, and teams from all over the league are ready to enter the last two weeks of action with everything to play for.
When these next five days come to an end, there will only be one match left for all Premier League clubs. The following weekend could only be used to crown this season's champion and hand out any remaining spots for European tournaments. To top it all, the relegation battle could see its final moments this weekend if things continue with their current course.
Arsenal and Manchester City continue their battle to take the trophy home, with the Gunners clinging to the lead despite a game in hand for Guardiola's team. Liverpool still have some title hopes, but they still need to see the frontrunners losing two in a row for them to win both games and have any title hopes. Manchester's games this weekend will be crucial in the title race, as any loss of points would give Arsenal a major boost in their quest for silverware.
In the battle for other European tournaments, Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea, and Manchester United are still in the race to claim one of two existing spots. Tottenham's recent woes have harmed their Champions League hopes, but with three games left for each club, the struggle for those places will be really interesting in the next ten days.
The battle to avoid the drop seems to be a three-team race. Nottingham, Luton Town, and Burnley are close to each other with the Tricky Trees ranked 17th at this points of the season. A win here would automatically relegate Burnley, leaving Nottingham and Luton in the race. If the Hatters drop points this weekend, their Premier League adventure will come to a close after just one year.
Let's have a look at what the next five days hold in store for all Premier League fans.

Top games to watch this weekend
Fulham vs Man City - Dropping points with a game in hand is not an option for Manchester City, who need to beat Fulham to keep their title options alive. Thanks to their early kickoff match, the Cityzens will be able to put pressure on Arsenal, and with a win, Guardiola's men will effectively end Liverpool's title chances. The first game of the season between these teams ended in a 5-1 rout for Manchester City, who now hold a 15-game winning streak against Fulham across all comps.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea - This could be a crucial game for both sides, as the Tricky Trees can secure a spot in next year's EPL season with a win and Chelsea could get closer to nabbing a place in European competitions. Nottingham are unbeaten against Chelsea since their return to the Premier League (two draws, one win), and keeping that run would be ideal for their survival hopes.

Manchester United vs Arsenal - The clash that will decide everything at the top of the league will see Arsenal entering Old Trafford needing a win to keep the top spot of the standings. On the other hand, the Red Devils have a slight hope to finish among the top six, but with only one win in their last five games, that notion seems unthinkable at the moment. Arsenal have won two in a row against Manchester United, but Ten Hag's men defeated the Gunners in their last game at Old Trafford, making this a tough match to predict.
