The penultimate weekend of the 2023/24 Premier League season is here and it's very much all to play for.

The phrase 'crunch time' is typically thrown out like it's going out of fashion at this time of year, and the crunchiest of matchdays is now upon us.

While the title race will continue no matter how the weekend's results play out, there could be confirmations of the top four and those who'll be joining Sheffield United in the second tier next season.

It's a mammoth weekend ofPremier League footer, that's for sure — here's how envisages all the action playing out.

Manchester City have so often been playing catch-up in this title race, with Arsenal's string of victories forcing them to respond.

They've so far refused to blink, and now it's their turn to apply some pressure onto the Gunners as they kick off the weekend's action away at Fulham. A win will see Pep Guardiola's side take a two-point lead at the summit.

We're then treated to several huge fixtures down at the bottom of the table in the three o'clock slate. Anything but a win for Burnley away at Tottenham Hotspur will seal their fate, while Luton Town desperately need a result at West Ham United — spoiling David Moyes' farewell in the process — to preserve their survival hopes.

Brentford's form uptick saw them pull away from the drop zone weeks ago, and they're travelling to Bournemouth this weekend. The red-hot Crystal Palace, meanwhile can usurp Wolves in the table should they prevail at Molineux. Oliver Glasner's Eagles have won four of their last five.

Nottingham Forest will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on Saturday afternoon's events before they take on Chelsea in the evening kick-off. If Luton lose atWest Ham, a mere point will be enough to keep them up.
