    Man City v Aston Villa (16:00 BST)

    Manchester City

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will win his fourth Premier League title in five seasons if City beat Aston Villa.

    It would be his ninth major trophy with City, but he was keen to play down the drama of the title going to the wire.

    "We know what we have to do. I said to the players: 'It’s just a game, don’t think of the consequences.' We do what we have to do to beat Aston Villa.

    "Two similar games never existed - it’s nice to have a chance to win at home. It’s different, we are different people. It's important to win but we cannot control everything.

    "If we are better, we are going to win. It is just a football game, we are not going to do something different."

    Brentford v Leeds (16:00 BST)

    Lawro's prediction: 2-1

    To stay up, Leeds know they need a better result than Burnley manage against Newcastle - but I can't see them getting it.

    Jesse Marsch's side kept going last time out and nicked a vital point against Brighton in injury time - but getting anything at all at Brentford is a big ask.

    The Bees are in great form and there is no point saying they have got nothing to play for because this is going to be one of the best seasons in their history. Their highest-ever position is fifth in the old First Division, in 1936, and they could still make ninth this year.

    The impetus Christian Eriksen has given them since signing in January has been sensational. You would almost give him player of the year, his impact has been that big.

    I just fancy Brentford to get goals on Sunday - far more than I do Leeds, even though they won't lack any effort because they play at 200mph anyway.

  5. Lawro's predictionpublished at 13:42 British Summer Time 22 May 2022

    Burnley v Newcastle (16:00 BST)

    Mark LawrensonImage source, BBC Sport

    Lawro's prediction: 1-1

    Burnley started playing with freedom when they sacked Sean Dyche and they won a few games that way.

    The way they were playing was the way you can when there is no expectation or pressure on your shoulders, but it was a different story once they gave themselves a chance of staying up.

    It was no surprise to see them tighten up again recently, because teams always revert to type. The Clarets are determined - which helped them get a point against Aston Villa on Thursday - but they have gone back to how they were playing previously, which is with an element of fear.

    Newcastle, meanwhile, have done a lot of hard work since the turn of the year and had some excellent results.

    I'd be surprised if they left Turf Moor empty-handed... so the final relegation place could be in the balance until the very last kick of the campaign.

    Norwich v Tottenham (16:00 BST)

    Mark LawrensonImage source, BBC Sport

    Lawro's prediction: 0-2

    I know there is this perception that Tottenham can always slip up, but not this time.

    I am expecting Norwich to give them a game but Spurs have got Dejan Kulusevski now as well as Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and I don't see the Canaries holding out, let alone beating them.

    Spurs have fought so hard to get into this position, where they just need a point to get back into the Champions League after two seasons away. I don't see them falling at the final hurdle.

  8. Lawro's predictionpublished at 13:36 British Summer Time 22 May 2022

    Arsenal v Everton (16:00 BST)

    Mark LawrensonImage source, BBC Sport

    Lawro's prediction: 2-1

    Everton are safe after their thrilling comeback from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace on Thursday, and their fans are probably still getting their breath back now. Some of them might only just be getting home.

    It's just as well Everton have got the job done already, really - I wouldn't exactly be confident about their chances of staying in the Premier League if Frank Lampard's side had to get anything at Emirates Stadium to avoid the drop.

    So, the best news for the Toffees is that this result doesn't matter. Arsenal are hardly reliable themselves at the moment but they are at home and, although Everton won at Leicester at the start of May, their record on the road is still very poor indeed.

    All of this means I am expecting the Gunners to win - but I don't think they can rescue their hopes of making the top four from here.

    Given the position they were in a few weeks ago, Mikel Arteta's side should already have secured a spot in next season's Champions League, but they have been so bad that it is not even in their hands with a game to go.

    That must hurt, especially because they had another blip just before that and it appeared they had recovered.

    I don't think the Arsenal players will get too much sympathy from their fans, either. The mood at the ground will probably be along the lines of 'you have messed this up, there is no-one else to blame'.

    Man City v Aston Villa (16:00 BST)

    Mark LawrensonImage source, BBC Sport

    Lawro's prediction: 3-0

    We've seen in the past few weeks how good Manchester City and Liverpool are when they go behind in games, not just when they are bossing them and in front.

    City have lost once in the Premier League since the end of October - that's how good they are. It's a similar story with Liverpool too, and both teams are simply miles ahead of everyone else.

    So, if there is any sort of setback for City or indeed Liverpool during Sunday's games - let's say one of them is a goal down at half-time - you know they are both capable of recovering from it and finding a response.

    I don't see even that scenario happening though. We know how good this City team is, and I fully expect them to clinch the title without another wobble like the one we saw at West Ham.

    Liverpool v Wolves (16:00 BST)

    Mark LawrensonImage source, BBC Sport

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

    Liverpool's win at Southampton on Tuesday was such an impressive result after Jurgen Klopp made nine changes from the side that won the FA Cup on Saturday.

    It was the performance that really stood out for me, because after going a goal behind early on, Liverpool just got better and better. They were completely on top by the end.

    The big guns will be back for Liverpool for this game and I just cannot see Wolves being a threat. They seemed to sign off for the season a few weeks back.

    A win won't be enough for the Reds to win the title unless Manchester City drop points against Aston Villa, but I don't think the mood will be low at Anfield if they miss out - in fact, there is no chance of that happening.

    No-one expects them to win the title, and they will get a brilliant reception on their lap of honour for winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. The main thing, though, is the send off they will get before the Champions League final in Paris the following weekend - everyone knows that is the chance to end a brilliant season on a massive high.

    Lawro's best bits on Football Focus

    After more than 20 years, legendary BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson is making his final set of Premier League predictions this weekend.

    Lawro first started the weekly feature, which would become a fixture on Football Focus, BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC Sport website, way back in 2000.

    Since then, he has made more than 8,000 predictions, taken on hundreds of celebrity guests who have given their own scores, been sent a rude message by dozens of them - including Arnold Schwarzenegger [see video below] - and even got one or two results right along the way.

    "My average score is not too bad actually," Lawro said. "But lots of people have asked me about my predictions down the years, good and bad - well, mostly bad.

    "The time I always remember is one unbelievably cold February a few years back, after a night match at Aston Villa.

    "I was walking out of the ground and a fella stopped me, very politely, and said 'Mr Lawrenson, I follow all your predictions, and you are not doing very well, are you?"

    "I said 'OK, fair enough, but do you know what... if I honestly thought I could accurately predict the results of football matches, I wouldn't be here, freezing my backside off. I would be in Barbados, in Sandy Lane hotel.

    "I think he understood where I was coming from."

    Everton's remarkable comeback win over Crystal Palace leaves Burnley and Leeds to duke it out for survival on the final day.

    The pair are level on 35 points. However, the Clarets have the edge courtesy of a vastly superior goal difference, meaning they only need to match Leeds' result on the final day to stay up.

    Mike Jackson's side also have home advantage on Sunday, albeit hosting an in-form Newcastle side hoping to seal a top-half finish.

    Jesse Marsch's Leeds travel to Brentford, who haven't conceded in their last four home games and where the Whites have failed to win since 1950.

    It promises twists, turns, fans celebrating or sweating over goal alerts and two benches frantically checking the score elsewhere.

    Tottenham's hard-fought win over Burnley on Sunday, followed by Arsenal's deserved defeat at Newcastle the following day, means Tottenham go into the final day two points ahead of their fierce rivals.

    With their vastly superior goal difference, Antonio Conte's side can afford a draw at relegated Norwich.

    Only a win will do for Arsenal, who are at home to an Everton side now assured of Premier League football next season.

    If the Canaries can provide a dead cat bounce at Carrow Road and beat Spurs, a win will see the Gunners nick it.

    Manchester City hold a one-point advantage at the top of the table after their draw at West Ham and Liverpool's victory at Southampton in the penultimate round of games.

    Pep Guardiola's men host Aston Villa on Sunday, knowing a win would make Liverpool's result at home to Wolves academic and seal a fourth league title of their Spanish manager's six-season reign.

    City claiming the league crown would deny Jurgen Klopp's side a shot at a historic quadruple, with the Carabao and FA Cups already in the Anfield trophy cabinet and the Champions League final to come.

    All Liverpool can do is beat Wolves at home and hope Villa can do them a favour at the Etihad, with a draw no good for them because of their goal difference, even if City lose.

    Here we are then - 370 games over nine months and it all boils down to 10 matches on a lively (hopefully sunny) Sunday afternoon in May.

    Today, we will find out which of holders Manchester City and quadruple-chasing Liverpool will be Premier League champions?

    We will discover which of the north London sides - Tottenham or Arsenal - will be playing Champions League football next season?

    And we'll discover which of Burnley or Leeds will be saying farewell to the English top-flight and heading to the Championship for 2022-23?

    Oh, and there's more. West Ham and Manchester United will both be playing on a Thursday night next season, but in which competition? There is a Golden Boot award to decide. And a few players will be bidding tearful farewells to their current clubs ahead of moves to pastures new.
