The Premier League returns this weekend with the penultimate round of fixtures for the 2024/25 season, as clubs across the table continue to battle for European qualification, top-four finishes, and survival from relegation. With just two matchweeks remaining, every point is now crucial.

At 8:15 PM, Chelsea host Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in a clash between two giants looking to finish the campaign strongly after inconsistent seasons.

At 2:30 PM, West Ham United host Nottingham Forest at the London Stadium, with both sides hoping to end the season on a high.
Two matches begin at 3 PM: Brentford face local rivals Fulham at the Brentford Community Stadium, while Leicester City take on Ipswich Town at the King Power Stadium. Both games could prove pivotal in the race for a top-half finish.
The day’s headline fixture comes at 4:30 PM, as second-placed Arsenal take on third-placed Newcastle United at the Emirates Stadium. With both teams pushing for Champions League football and Arsenal still chasing Manchester City at the top, this promises to be a thrilling encounter with major implications for the title race.
The final match of the gameweek takes place on Monday night, as Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Premier League champions Liverpool to the AMEX Stadium. Kick-off is at 8 PM, with Brighton aiming to test the champions and finish their season with a statement performance.
With drama at both ends of the table, this weekend’s matches are set to shape the final-day storylines in what has been another unforgettable Premier League season.
