Liverpool are champions, Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich relegated, but there is still plenty to play for in Gameweek 37, the penultimate round of fixtures in the 2024/25 Premier League season.
With the FA Cup final taking centre stage on Saturday, GW37 spans five days starting at Aston Villa on Friday night and culminating on Tuesday with Crystal Palace entertaining Wolves and Manchester City shackling Bournemouth.

Just one win in their last six Premier League games has seen Nottingham Forest crash out of the Champions League places – and prompted an astonishing on-field bust-up between owner Evangelos Marinakis and boss Nuno Santo last week.
Clearly tempers were frayed at the end of the disappointing 2-2 draw with relegated Leicester, but Forest have not become a bad side overnight and can stay in the hunt for a top-five finish by winning at West Ham, whose form figures are even worse.
The Hammers, crushed 3-0 at Forest in November, were without a win in eight before Sunday’s 2-0 win at an abject Manchester United. Forest are 22 points better off than West Ham in the table and can stamp that gap by winning in East London on Sunday.
Jamie Vardy will play his last game for Leicester on Sunday with a full house at the King Power willing him to sign off by scoring his 200th goal for the club.
Given that he has found the net just once since the end of February he may not get the farewell he craves at home to Ipswich.
These are two sides heading back down after dismal seasons but, with the pressure off, expect them both to be positive.
Leif Davis, nicely rested after a ban, will come back in for the Tractor Boys and the attack-minded left-back can score or assist.
His one goal this season was in the previous 1-1 draw with Leicester and he is one of his side’s better attacking outlets.

Brentford are in the box seat to finish eighth and qualify for Europe (if Man City do them a favour by winning the FA Cup final).
Whether City deliver or not the fact is the Bees are flying with four straight wins and they can make it five in a row at home to flatlining neighbours Fulham.
Fulham have lost their way with five losses in seven since exiting the FA Cup and maybe they have simply run out of steam.
There will be a party at Goodison Park on Sunday with plenty of tears as Toffees’ fans say farewell to the old ground as a Premier League venue.
They would dearly love to sign off with a bang but Southampton, obstinate enough to hold Manchester City to a 0-0 draw last week despite being long since relegated, will not enjoy the role of fall guys.
No team has been involved in more 0-0 draws this term than Everton and this could easily be a game to forget, even if the occasion will not be.
