Premier League Fixtures: EPL Week 36 Schedule, Tickets and Score Predictions

James DudkoApr 26, 2016

One more win, three more points. That's what Leicester City will need to become Premier League champions when they visit Old Trafford to take on Manchester United this Sunday. 

A day later, Tottenham Hotspur will hope their ailing title hopes are still alive when they travel to Stamford Bridge to meet Chelsea on Monday night.

Those are the marquee fixtures at the top of the table. At the bottom, Newcastle United, Sunderland and Norwich City all face tough matches, with the latter unlikely to get much from a game with Arsenal, even at a fractious Emirates Stadium.

Leicester on the Verge of History

A first league title beckons for the Foxes, provided they can negotiate a tough away trip without help from Jamie Vardy. The start striker is still serving a suspension, so the Red Devils won't have to worry about his pace and tireless pressing in the final third.

But United will have to concern themselves with recently crowned PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian winger's form and performances had dipped a little recently, with the 25-year-old appearing tired in some games.

But Mahrez delivered a timely reminder of his class by opening the scoring for the Foxes in a 4-0 win over Swansea City last time out. That win, along with Spurs drawing 1-1 at home to West Bromwich Albion, has put the title within touching distance for the Foxes.

Mahrez was back to his best in the win over Swansea.

Yet, it may be too soon to start the celebrations just yet, as United are in a bit of a groove of their own. Manager Louis van Gaal's team recently reached the FA Cup final and remain just five points off the top four, with a game in hand on both Arsenal and neighbours Manchester City.

Van Gaal has stumbled onto a dangerous attack thanks to the pace and bravado of youthful trio Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard. With Wayne Rooney supplying the three from the midfield, the Reds now boast a potent combination where it counts.

Still though, expect defences to hold sway at Old Trafford, despite the attacking riches on show. The occasion and what's at stake will induce a sense of caution in both Van Gaal and Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri, two managers who need no invitation to play things close to the vest.

It's also worth remembering United and City own the second and third stingiest defences, respectively, in the division, per PremierLeague.com.

Leicester have plenty of men at the back who have a lot of motivation to keep a clean sheet on United's turf. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel would no doubt love to win the title on the ground his father, ex-Reds great Peter, once lifted so many trophies.

Meanwhile, former United players, defensive midfielder Danny Drinkwater and full-back Danny Simpson, have the chance to prove their old club wrong.

Drinkwater and Simpson will be ready for their old club.

Even a point can be enough for Leicester if Spurs are still too deflated by the time they visit the Blues. Chelsea haven't looked like finishing the season strongly, but they will be motivated by wanting to officially extinguish a London rival's title hopes.

If United have to settle for a point, they'll hope City and Arsenal have already slipped up in the top-four race. The former is the more likely, thanks to a tricky trip to Southampton, where manager Ronald Koeman can add to his burgeoning reputation by engineering another upset.

This looks like being the decisive week in settling the destination of the title. If it's Leicester, it will be a welcome break to the monopoly the traditional top four had enjoyed before this season.
