Premier League | Tue 22 Apr 2025 | 19:00 UTC
A tantalising clash awaits as Champions League contenders Manchester City host an in-form Aston Villa, who trail their hosts by a mere point in the Premier League standings.
Riding the momentum of a comfortable 2-0 away victory over Everton, Manchester City are unbeaten in their last five Premier League outings.
However, they face a formidable Aston Villa, who arrive at the Etihad on a blistering five-match winning streak, boasting an impressive three consecutive away wins without conceding a single goal.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Premier League | Wed 23 Apr 2025 | 19:00 UTC
Riding high on a commanding 4-0 away win against Ipswich Town, Arsenal has extended their unbeaten league run to seven matches, showcasing their strong current form.
However, with Liverpool widely expected to clinch the title, the Gunners will likely channel their focus towards solidifying their second-place position and maintaining their momentum as they look ahead to their upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
In contrast, Crystal Palace has struggled recently, failing to secure a win in their last three Premier League outings and unable to find the net in their previous two matches.
However, the Eagles can draw encouragement from their most recent fixture against Bournemouth, where they managed to secure a clean sheet despite playing the entire second half with ten men.
This display of resilience on the road against a team vying for a European spot will provide a glimmer of hope as they face two significant challenges this week: Arsenal in the league and Aston Villa on Saturday in the FA Cup.

Premier League | Mon 21 Apr 2025 | 19:00 UTC
Domination Index: 54/46
Nottingham Forest once again drew first blood, establishing a commanding 2-0 lead within the opening 16 minutes.
This marks the 24th occasion in their 33 league matches this season that Forest has opened the scoring, a Premier League-high this campaign.
Tottenham found themselves chasing the game from that point onwards and, despite Richarlison pulling one back with a header in the 87th minute, they couldn't muster an equalizer.
This result marks Tottenham's fourth defeat in their last five Premier League fixtures, a concerning trend they'll need to reverse quickly.
Their immediate schedule presents a daunting challenge: a trip to Anfield on Sunday to face a Liverpool side that will be eager to secure the title in front of their home supporters, followed by a crucial mid-week Europa League semi-final.
For Nottingham Forest, this hard-fought victory is a significant boost, breaking a two-game losing streak in the league and propelling them into 3rd place, one point ahead of Newcastle.
This 9th win in 17 away Premier League games this campaign will undoubtedly inject confidence into the squad as they prepare for their FA Cup semi-final clash against Manchester City on Sunday.
