It begins on Friday with a battle between two teams fighting for survival and ends Sunday with a showdown between the two teams that have combined to win the last eight Premier League titles.
Keep reading to get a closer look at some of the key games along with my Premier League predictions for the weekend.
Premier League Predictions: Matchweek 25
All soccer odds used for these EPL Matchweek 25 predictions are current as of Thursday, Feb. 5, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Manchester United vs Tottenham: Draw (+360)
On the heels of three straight wins, Manchester United finally has some momentum.
However, they’ve failed to beat Spurs in the last eight head-to-head matches between these teams, including a 3-0 defeat in Tottenham’s last trip to Old Trafford.
As for Spurs, they finally have some positive momentum, going unbeaten in four straight matches in all competitions, including last week’s draw with Man City.
After the fight Tottenham showed in the second half of that game, there is definitely value in believing Spurs can earn a road draw against United.

Burnley vs West Ham United: Over 2.5 Goals (-115)
Granted, neither team has a particularly potent attack, but keep in mind that these two teams have allowed more goals than any other Premier League sides this season.
Also, both are in the relegation zone and desperate for three points, so neither one is going to hold back.

There have been at least three goals in five of Burnley’s last seven games, while nine of West Ham’s last 10 games have ended with at least three goals.
The kicker is that these teams combined for five goals in a 3-2 West Ham win back in November, and I expect a similar scoreline on Saturday.
Liverpool ML (+135) vs Manchester City
After letting a 2-0 lead slip away last week against Tottenham, Manchester City can’t afford to keep dropping points and falling further behind Arsenal in the title race.
Unfortunately, Pep Guardiola’s team has been dreadful away from home lately, going winless in four away fixtures since the start of January.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is unbeaten in its last eight home matches since the start of December.
The Reds have also come alive offensively lately, scoring 15 goals in their last four matches across all competitions.
With the Anfield crowd behind them, they’ll be able to outscore City and take all three points, so I’m backing Liverpool with my soccer bet of the day.
