The Premier League continues with the dispute for the championship crown on this day 34. With only 5 days to play, the fight in each zone of the standings is becoming more and more intense and, unlike previous seasons, when the Manchester City at this point in the championship was already savoring its championship, now it has an excellent dispute with Liverpool for the first place in the table.
After Manchester City’s painful FA Cup loss to Liverpool and their 3-0 crushing win against Brighton earlier in the week, they are looking to stay top of the standings. While the Reds, their closest pursuers, will face Everton on Sunday, April 24.
On the other hand, at the bottom of the standings, we have Norwich City, Watford, and Burnley fighting each game to get away from relegation to the second division.

We start this Power Rankings of matchday 34 of the Premier League with the match between Southampton and Brighton, which will be played next Sunday, April 24, 2022, at the Falmer Stadium, home of Brighton.
Although both teams no longer play anything in the standings, since they do not have opportunities to enter international cup positions, they only have to continue fighting to add the most points to ensure their permanence in the first division of the Premier League.
Southampton is at #13 in the standings, with a very bad record of 9 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses. On the other hand, Brighton is coming off finishing a very good winning streak in their last game against Manchester City, where they lost 0-3.

The best game that we can enjoy on day 34 of the Premier League is, without a doubt, this one between Arsenal and Manchester United. These two teams are in a direct fight to stay in fourth place in the standings and, therefore, to be in the next UEFA Champions League. This match will be played next Saturday, April 23, 2022, at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal comes into this game with a tremendous boost after getting a magnificent victory in their last game against Chelsea. Against all odds and at Stamford Bridge, Arsenal managed to display their best game of the season and took some magnificent 3 points that serve to continue fighting for this fourth place.
On the other hand, Manchester United has been a very inconsistent team throughout the season. Although they had a very good winning streak at some point in the championship that allowed them to climb several positions in the table, they have fallen into a rut again and this is shown by the terrible defeat in their last match against Liverpool, with a score of 0-4.
Arsenal vs. Manchester United Betting Pick: Arsenal
Premier League Matchday 34: Chelsea vs. West Ham
When: Sunday, April 24 at 09:00 am ET

Although the match between Arsenal and Manchester United is extremely important in the aspirations of both teams to win the fourth and last place in the next UEFA Champions League, the one between Chelsea and West Ham is not far behind, since Chelsea wants to shake off the thorn of their painful defeat against Arsenal in their last game and thus remain comfortable in third place in the table. While West Ham wants to surprise and leave out one of the big teams in the European event.
Chelsea has had poor results in recent weeks, which has made the team’s overall performance questionable. After being eliminated from the Champions League, Chelsea has had many ups and downs that they must correct if they do not want to put the third place in the table at risk.
While West Ham wants to return to being that brave team that was at the top of the standings for several days, fighting with the big teams, if they achieve this victory, they could be getting fully into this fight for the fourth place in the standings and thus get closer to Chelsea.
Chelsea vs. West Ham Betting Pick: Chelsea
Premier League Matchday 34: Liverpool vs. Everton
When: Sunday, April 24 at 11:30 am ET
Moneyline odds: Liverpool -526 / Everton +1200 (Source: MyBookie.ag)
Draw Offs: +600

Finally, we close these Power Rankings with a very important match between Liverpool and Everton. This match will be played next Sunday, April 24, 2022, at Anfield, the home of Liverpool.
Liverpool is coming off an extraordinary victory in their game this week against Manchester United with a score of 4-0. That is why they arrive at this day 34 with tremendous confidence and with a desire to snatch first place from Manchester City.
On the other hand, we have Everton, a team that has surprised, but negatively, this season by being on the verge of the relegation zone. Everton is currently ranked #17 in the standings, with a record of 8 wins, 5 draws, and 18 losses. Everton has to play the remaining games as a grand final to avoid relegation to the second division of English football.
