It’s round 37 of an enthralling English Premier League season, and we are no closer to crowning a champion or finding three relegated teams. This campaign will go right down to the wire, and fans are all set for a grandstand finish with Arsenal and Man City fighting for the crown. Which team will get the win needed to boost their chances of landing the Premier League title next weekend? Saturday’s results will have a strong say in the destination of the EPL trophy.
Saturday’s schedule brings eight eye-catching fixtures, with the show opening at Craven Cottage, London, where Fulham host Man City, who are chasing a fourth title in four seasons. We focus on the main event of the day at the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest host Chelsea for a tussle you can follow live from 17:30 GMT.

Nottingham Forest has already proven an exciting addition to the English Premier League, but will their top-flight status last much longer? The Tricky Trees are in danger of being relegated to the Championship unless they can find their best form in the closing weeks. The locals know every point gained at this stage is vital if they are to remain clear of the bottom three and finish in 17th position. Luton Town is just three points behind in 18th and will remain dangerous until the season is over.
Forest is set to play this game after a strange run of form, which has resulted in two wins, three defeats, and a draw in their last six games. That sketchy spell sums up their season, and Forest has won just eight games in this campaign, which is two more than Luton. They’ve also drawn nine and lost 19, scoring 45 goals and conceding 63. They can’t finish any higher than their current position, but the threat of relegation is real.
It has been a season to forget for Chelsea and its fans, with the club falling well short of what the board and its fans expected. They were nowhere near as good as supporters had hoped, and this campaign will go down as a seriously poor effort from a high-earning squad that should be pushing for the title. Will they come back stronger next season? That remains unclear, but it’s obvious we’ll see changes in the summer as heads roll.
Chelsea enters this game with their season stats showing 15 wins, nine draws, and 11 defeats, 70 goals scored, and 59 conceded. In their last six outings, the Blues have won three and drawn two, claiming six points in their previous two games. They beat West Ham 5-0 at Stamford Bridge last time out to delight fans and hope to win again on Saturday to increase their chances of finishing above Man Utd and Newcastle.
Forest is the home team and has more to play for here, as they know another defeat would ramp up the pressure and keep them involved in a relegation dogfight. A rare win over Chelsea would likely be enough to keep them in the division for another season, meaning this is a cup final for Nottingham Forest. Do they have the skill and fight to secure their spot in the EPL and force down the Hatters?
Chelsea left it too late and won’t finish in the top four this term, meaning another season without Champions League football and the riches that it brings. But they will want to finish as high up the table as possible, securing a Europa League berth. Chelsea is six points behind the Spurs in fifth place and two behind Newcastle in sixth. If they’re at their best, the Blues should be good enough to grab an away win.
