It is expected to be an entertaining weekend as the 2021-22 English Premier League (EPL) conducts its Matchday 29 commitments this weekend, starting Saturday. A couple of big matches have been scheduled, while the top sides would aim for wins as they race for the European spot, besides some aiming for a top-four finish. Here are the previews involving the big teams.
Manchester United faces tricky task against Tottenham Hotspur
Fifth-placed United will look to get back to winning ways as it hosts seventh-placed Tottenham on Saturday, with the latter being highly unstable of late. While the hosts lost against Manchester City last week 1-4, the visitors are coming off a 5-0 win over Everton. Thus, the momentum is with the Spurs, as a win could take it to fourth, while a loss might see it falling to eighth. As for the Red Devils, a win could take it fourth, while a loss might push it down to seventh.
Chelsea aims to demolish Newcastle United
Third-placed Chelsea is in an unsettling situation after sanctions are imposed on its owner Roman Abramovich. Nonetheless, it would not look to get too much distracted as it hosts 14th-placed Newcastle United on Sunday. It should be a comfortable task for The Blues, while the result will not affect its standing.

Sixth-placed West Ham will be hosting ninth-placed Aston Villa on Sunday. While the hosts eye the top-four, the visitors hunt for a European spot. The match will be close, but the Hammers might squeeze through, possibly taking it back to fourth, while a defeat could push it down to eighth.
Arsenal faces Leicester in an interesting clash
Fourth-placed Arsenal will be involved in an engaging tie against 12th-placed Leicester on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium. Given the current situation, the hosts are the favourites. However, the visitors can spring in a surprise at any time. A win for the Gunners keeps it at fourth, while a loss might see it going down to seventh. As for the Foxes, a win could take it to ninth, while a defeat might push it down to 14th.

Manchester City to go all-out against Crystal Palace
Defending champion and table-topper Manchester City still has some job to do to retain the title. As it travels to take on 11th-placed Palace on Monday, it would aim to go all-out against the hosts. The result will not currently affect the Cityzens stand in the table but might pile pressure on them in the title race.
