EPL 2021-22, Gameweek 38 predictions: All eyes on Man City, Liverpool games for title-decider

It is judgement day, as the English Premier League (EPL) 2021-22 enters its final matchday on Sunday. The Gameweek 38 will end the season, besides determining and drawing curtains on the title race. With ten matches set to be played on Sunday, all the eyes will be on the clashes involving table-topper defending champion Manchester City and second-placed Liverpool. A point separates the two, and it could all change in a matter of loss and win for either side. Meanwhile, the race for top-four is also on between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, besides other European spots for grab. On the same note, we predict the winners of the top matches.

Manchester United desperate to thrash Crystal Palace
Sixth-placed United is eyeing the UEFA Europa League (UEL) berth and would be contained with a finish in the same spot. And, for that to happen, it will have to go past Palace in London. A win keeps it on fifth, while a defeat might drop it to seventh, resulting in the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL).
Prediction: United wins 2-1 draw

Arsenal has to topple Everton
Fifth-placed Arsenal is taking on 16th-placed Everton at the Emirates Stadium. The home advantage should allow the Gunners to see this through. However, the Toffees are unpredictable here, and the hosts need to be careful. A win could take Arsenal to the fourth, while a loss will have to make itself contained with a fifth spot finish.
Prediction: Arsenal wins 2-1

Chelsea least bothered by Watford
Third-placed Chelsea will be hosting an already-relegated Watford. While The Blues have sealed their third place, there is nothing to lose, as the game could see Chelsea potentially fielding uncommon faces. The result will keep Chelsea at third.
Prediction: Chelsea wins 3-0

Prediction: Leicester wins 2-1

Man City looking to rout Aston Villa
City has to win to seal its fifth EPL title and retain the crown, as it will look to rout 14th-placed Villa at the Etihad Stadium. A draw could also help the Cityzens, while Pep Guardiola will leave no stones unturned to allow his boys to emerge as champions. However, a defeat could hand the title to Liverpool.

West Ham United faces stern test against Brighton and Hove Albion
Seventh-placed West Ham is already assured of a UECL berth. But it will be eyeing a better league in the UEL. And, for that to happen, it has to outplay tenth-placed Brighton away from home, which will be a monumental task.
Prediction: 1-1 draw

Prediction: Liverpool wins 2-0
