Title Race: Manchester City vs Liverpool
The biggest prize of all is still up for grabs. Manchester City travel to Bournemouth knowing that only a win guarantees the title, while Liverpool host Brighton needing a favor from the Cherries.

Expect nerves, drama, and possibly late twists.
European Places: Top-Four Battle and Beyond
With the top three all but secure, the fight for fourth remains intense. Arsenal travel to Everton, while Tottenham visit Leeds.
