Every week is important in the Premier League title race, and Matchweek 35 features a huge North London derby that could make or break the season for the title contenders.
Both teams are down on their luck ahead of Sunday’s monster clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, but there is enough to see West Ham United host Liverpool on Saturday morning at the London Stadium. There is a great chance.
West Ham have lost their last two league games and are languishing in eighth place in the table. A home win against Liverpool would be the ideal way to get them back on track and help them move up the table.
Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday, their first defeat in 14 years after being beaten by all sides. It’s disappointing to lose in the rivalry, but this result was a huge blow to their title chances. They are currently three points behind Arsenal and two points behind Manchester City, but Jurgen Klopp’s side are focused on their job and are looking to secure a penultimate bid for the title. We need to hope that we can do well elsewhere to take on the challenge.
As always, Man City picked up the pace in the final stages of the season and are in the strongest position to win the title once again. They trail Arsenal by one point but have a game in hand and their next challenge will be against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Forest’s Premier League lead over 18th-placed Luton Town is in jeopardy with just one point. It will be a daunting challenge to get a result against Pep Guardiola’s City at home, but pulling it off could be a season-defining moment for Forest. Cityzens have scored 17 goals in their last four Premier League games and will continue to focus on winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
