Due to being encompassed by the FA Cup semi-final matches, which are scheduled for 26-27
April, the Premier Leagues matchday 34 will spread over 10 days and will be headlined by an
encounter between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool would be crowned Premier League champions with a win or draw over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on April 27,after Arsenal drew against Crystal Palace.
“At our training ground, we are just focused on the training sessions we do and trying to prepare in the best possible way for Tottenham, which is a team where all the injuries are coming back and are a team that deserves our full attention,” Liverpool manager Arne Slot said.
“The boys also have one or two days off during this week because we’ve planned that already a long time ago and hopefully they will enjoy some time with their loved ones and be fully focused when we are back together to work towards Tottenham.”

At the Etihad Stadium on 22 April, outgoing champions Manchester City will be targeting a third successive win when they host their top-five rivals, Aston Villa, who are one of the most in-form teams in the Premier League right now, having won five matches in a row.
“Now it’s in our hands. A final on Tuesday [at home to Aston Villa], then two more games home and away. Hopefully, we can achieve the success of qualifying for the Champions League,” City manager Pep Guardiola said.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will be looking to consolidate their spot in the top five with a victory over Everton, who will be determined to bounce back to winning ways at Stamford Bridge on 26 April, after losing to Manchester City at home on matchday 33.
“This is a huge win for us because coming to Fulham is never easy. It can definitely give us confidence for the remaining games – both in the league and in Europe,” Chelsea defender Levi Colwill said.
“But we have to just keep taking each game as it comes. The focus now is on Everton in our next game, a tough fixture, but one we can take confidence into following this victory.”
On 27 April, Manchester United will be keen to avoid a third consecutive league defeat when they lock horns with a dangerous AFC Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium, where the Cherries overcame Fulham in their last home game.
“We created chances [against Wolverhampton Wanderers]. We were the better team on the pitch,” United manager Ruben Amorim said.
“That is a good sign, but it’s hard to take something positive in this moment. We need to win games and we should have more points.
“Now we are going to recover from this sequence and then we are going to return to prepare Bournemouth and also the Europa League.”
