Premier League predictions: Gameweek 35

Alexis Mac Allister

The football continues to come thick and fast with more twists and turns expected this weekend in Gameweek 35 of the 2023/24 Premier League.

The title race provided more drama in midweek as Arsenal and Manchester City picked up three more points each, but Liverpool stumbled dramatically in their 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat. Another underwhelming loss would almost certainly end any lingering aspirations for more silverware under departing boss Jurgen Klopp.

There’s also the possibility of a first confirmed relegation of the top-flight season down at the bottom, where others will be hoping to stay alive before the campaign concludes. Throw in a north London derby on Sunday and the stage is set for a mouthwatering slate of fixtures.

Here’s how 90min sees Gameweek 35 playing out.

Liverpool may have relinquished top spot in the Premier League table for the last time this season. Losses to Crystal Palace and Everton have seen them lose ground on their title rivals and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Reds drop more points at West Ham United in Saturday’s early kick-off.

Fulham and Crystal Palace sit 13th and 14th respectively and are separated by three points before their meeting at Craven Cottage, where the home side have picked up most of their victories. However, the in-form duo of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise could prove inspirational once again for the Eagles on their travels.

Manchester United‘s season has descended into utter chaos, with their last six matches returning scorelines of 1-1, 4-3, 2-2, 2-2, 3-3 and 4-2. Burnley will hope to hurt the perennially open Red Devils, but whether they have the star power to get a result is another matter.

Sheffield United‘s relegation will be confirmed if they are beaten by Newcastle United at St James’ Park. The Magpies dismantled Tottenham at home last time out while the Blades have recouped only six points from 17 away trips in 2023/24 so far.

18th-placed Luton Town are still alive and kicking but consecutive 5-1 losses mean their goal difference is significantly worse than Nottingham Forest’s in 17th. Saturday does present them with a clash with a Wolves side without a victory in seven games, but Gary O’Neil’s Wanderers might instead return to winning ways at Molineux.

Everton managed a monumental success in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool, all but securing their place in the top flight next season. The Toffees might…
