The end of the Premier League season is right around the corner, and with four games left for almost all teams, we can get a very good idea on which ones still have a shot at the title, which ones will enter European tournaments, and which ones will end up getting the drop to the EFL Championship.
After the past week, the title race seems to have been reduced to two teams: Arsenal and Manchester City. Untimely losses by Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool have seen the team's title hopes fade away, and only a miracle would see them lifting the trophy as a proper farewell to Klopp. The remaining spot in UEFA Champions League next season will be sorted out between Aston Villa and Tottenham, who are six points behind the Villains but also have two games in hand that could have a direct effect in this battle.
Newcastle, Manchester United, West Ham, and Chelsea are the other teams fighting to play in European tournaments, with six points between them and with Chelsea still having two games in hand.
When it comes to the relegation battle, Everton took a huge step to save themselves with their win against Liverpool, leaving the final drop spot to be sorted out between Luton Town and Nottingham Forest. There is only one point between these clubs, and with Sheffield and Burnley sitting way behind them, it seems that all relegation spots will be sorted out before the end of the season.
Let's have a look at what the weekend holds in store for all Premier League fans.

Top games to watch
West Ham vs Liverpool - The Reds play one of their final cards in terms of title hopes, and their match against the Hammers may not be as easy as some might think, since the hosts are still in the race for European spots. Liverpool have won nine out of their last ten games against West Ham across all comps, including a 3-1 win back in September. Nonetheless, with both teams struggling to win matches recently, it seems proper to believe this could end in a draw and effectivel end Liverpool's options to win the title.

Tottenham vs Arsenal - The Gunners make it to Spurs' stadium after winning four of their last five, including a five-nil win over Chelsea in their midweek match. Tottenham have only won one of their last three, and this game seems crucial for their options of a top-four finish, even with two games in hand. Prior to Sunday's game, Arsenal are undefeated in the last three North London Derbies, although their most recent game against Spurs ended in a 2-2 draw.

Nottingham vs Man City - Pep Guardiola and his team walk into City Ground hoping to extend their winning streak in the Premier League, which has seen them win four in a row. Manchester City has found the back of the net 17 times in those games, hinting that Nottingham's defense will have to put all their effort in to try and claim points. Meanwhile, the Tricky Trees have only won one of their last five matches, which has made their life a bit complicated while trying to avoid relegation. A loss here, combined with a win for Luton Town, would see Nottingham falling in relegation spots with only three matches to be played. We can expect the hosts to defend their ground relentlessly, but that may not be enough against Guardiola's massive attack.
