West Ham United vs Liverpool April 27 (Saturday) 19:30

In the 35th round of the Premier League this Saturday night, Liverpool will travel to London to challenge West Ham United. Liverpool fell out of the top three after losing the Mershire derby in midweek and are currently second in the table, three points below leaders Arsenal, while West Ham are currently eighth after being beaten 5-2 by city rivals Crystal Palace in the last round.

The Reds' attacking problems have been particularly serious recently, with three of their last five games keeping clean sheets, with both Mohamed Salah and Nunez in form slipping, and Jota's re-injury also reducing the finishing ability of the attack, and it will be interesting to see who can score for the team this game.

Since the FA Cup exit, Liverpool's fourth-tier title race has collapsed in a short period of time, the Europa League has stopped in the last eight, and the league has only won one of the last four rounds.

Manchester United vs Burnley April 27 (Saturday) 22:00

Manchester United will continue to play at home against promoted Burnley. The team completed their replay against Sheffield United this week and came back from behind to win 4-2, and back-to-back games against relegation may give them a respite. The Red Devils are currently sixth, with a midweek win putting the team's goal difference back on target, while Burnley are second from bottom, three points clear of the relegation line.

The win over Sheffield United was arguably the only game United had seen in recent times, following a run of four consecutive Premier League games without a win and three goals in a row in the FA Cup by Championship side Coventry, adding renewed pressure on Ten Hag. If they can retain sixth place, the Red Devils will secure a Europa League place next season, which is already the final bottom line for them.

Manchester United beat Burnley 1-0 in the first leg of this season, and Fernandes, who scored the goal, has become the team's top scorer despite being a midfielder, scoring seven goals in the last five games, and he is expected to continue his hot form this weekend.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Sunday, April 28 at 03:00

In the early hours of Sunday morning, Chelsea travel to Aston Villa. In the midweek rematch against local rivals Arsenal, Chelsea reversed this season's style of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and suffered a 5-0 bloodbath, which kept the team in ninth place and the hope of challenging for a European place is very slim, and Villa are currently in the critical stage of retaining the top four, with two games in hand six points more than fifth-placed Tottenham, and the position is not secure.

Despite their poor record, Chelsea sit in the Premier League's Golden Boot contenders for Palmer, who has scored 20 league goals this season and has been involved in 15 of his last eight games. Palmer's absence from illness last time left the Blues completely dumb in attack, and his return this weekend will be a key factor in the Blues' quest to win.

Chelsea have played Villa three times this season, losing 1-0 at home in the first leg of the league and drawing the FA Cup to a 3-1 replay.

Tottenham vs Arsenal April 28 (Sunday) 21:00

The Premier League's main fixture, the north London derby, will be played on Sunday night, with Tottenham hosting Arsenal in a derby that is both a title race and a race for the top four. Tottenham's 4-0 defeat to Newcastle slowed the race for a top four 15 days ago, while Arsenal slaughtered Chelsea 5-0 in a midweek stoppage, but the recent schedule of fixtures has inevitably brought physical exhaustion.

At present, Arsenal leads the standings with a three-point advantage, and the goal difference is also superior, and there is a lot of hope of winning the title. Tottenham are their strongest opponent in the remaining four rounds and taking the three points is a big step towards the throne. In addition, a derby win will undoubtedly give a morale boost, which is crucial for the Gunners who need to get a boost in action.

Tottenham's prospects for the top four are not promising, and although they are currently six points down from Villa with two games in hand, their next opponents are all heavyweights, taking turns against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, as well as Chelsea as city rivals and Burnley as they fight for relegation.

Tottenham caused some problems for Arsenal in the first leg of the season, with Son Heung-min's double help for White Lily to take a point away from the Emirates Stadium. Tottenham have failed to win three straight north London derbies since the rise of the Gunners last season, will they be a stepping stone to a title title win for their rivals?

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City April 28 (Sunday) 23:30

Manchester City will travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday night as the latest team to play in the last three of the title. Manchester City are currently four points away from Arsenal in two games less, and Guardiola will need to show consistent super-consistent performances if they want to win the title, while Nottingham Forest are in 17th place after being deducted four points, only one point above the relegation line, and the situation is critical.

Manchester City will be concerned about Haaland's form, with only one penalty against Luton Town in the last four games, and Real Madrid in the Champions League two-legged performance, which has raised questions about his ability to fight hard. Facing a relatively weak Nottingham Forest in this game, Haaland is expected to score goals and regain confidence.

Despite City's strength, Forest have had a number of points from strong teams this season. In the first leg, Forest had even more shots on goal than Manchester City, but the team ended up losing 2-0. In this encounter, can the Blue Moon Army take another steady step on the road to the championship?
