"With just two weekends to go in the Premier League, we are approaching crunch time at the top and bottom. Manchester City are not in league action - they face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on Saturday - giving Arsenal the chance to solidify their hold on top spot. At the bottom, West Ham can pile the pressure on Tottenham with a result at Newcastle. Here, we take a look at the fixtures and offer up our Premier League predictions for this weekend."
"A big game in the race for Champions League qualification with the winner guaranteed to play in Europe's elite club competition next season. The loser will be anxiously looking over their shoulder to see how sixth-placed Bournemouth get on in their last two games. Villa, of course, have two avenues in: their league position or victory over Freiburg in the Europa League final. The latter may also open the door for Liverpool. It's complicated but both sides can eliminate doubt by winning this one. Therefore...Prediction: Aston Villa 2-2 Liverpool"
"Reports this week suggest Manchester United are willing to convert Michael Carrick's interim position into a full-time role. He can enhance his chances further by seeing off a Nottingham Forest side whose top-flight status is now secured. United will have to play better than they did last weekend when they were fortunate to escape Sunderland with a 0-0 draw.Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Nottingham Forest"
Two Premier League weekends remain, creating decisive pressure at both ends of the table. Manchester City are not playing in the league because they face Chelsea in the FA Cup final, allowing Arsenal to potentially consolidate first place. At the bottom, West Ham can increase pressure on Tottenham by securing a result at Newcastle. Aston Villa host Liverpool in a Champions League qualification battle, where the winner guarantees a place in Europe’s elite competition next season and the loser must watch Bournemouth’s final games. Manchester United play Nottingham Forest, with United needing a stronger performance than their previous 0-0 draw and Forest’s top-flight status already secured. Predictions are Villa 2-2 Liverpool and Manchester United 3-1 Nottingham Forest.
