Premier League predictions: Gameweek 33

The 2023/24 Premier League season continues to accelerate towards what is shaping up to be a truly epic finale.

The title race could yet deliver more drama in Gameweek 33 as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City all jostle for first place. With European qualification and relegation also still to be decided, there’s plenty for teams up and down the land to fight for this weekend.

Here’s 90min’s predictions for Gameweek 33.

Saturday 13 April

Tottenham return to the scene of one of their lowest points in recent memory when they take on Newcastle at St James’ Park in Saturday’s early kick-off. Spurs were battered 6-1 by the Magpies last season, but the visitors will hope to inflict some punishment of their own against Eddie Howe’s increasingly depleted playing squad.

Sitting nine points adrift of safety, it is truly now or never for Sheffield United if they are to compete in the top flight again next year. The Blades will be hit with a two-point penalty when they next drop into the EFL and defeat to Brentford could see them slip closer towards that fate.

Fellow relegation favourites Burnley have only been beaten once in their last four games but remain six points adrift of safety ahead of their clash with Brighton at Turf Moor. The Seagulls’ campaign is in danger of fizzling out but they should give their run-in a shot in the arm with a slender away victory.

Mass starting XI changes are likely from Pep Guardiola when Manchester City take on 18th-placed Luton Town. The Cityzens have a return leg against Real Madrid in the Champions League to think about, but a rotated team will still surely have too much quality for the resilient Hatters.

Nottingham Forest will hope to move three points clear of Luton with a win against Wolves. Nuno Espirito Santo’s outfit have struggled to get any momentum together but home advantage could work in their favour against a similarly inconsistent Wanderers outfit.

Saturday’s evening clash will see Manchester United travel south to battle Bournemouth. The Cherries won the reverse fixture 3-0 in December and may prove too tough an opponent to overcome again for the Red Devils.
