Premier League Fixtures: Live Stream, TV Schedule and Week 38 EPL Predictions
The 2015-16 Premier League season will come to an end in Week 38, and while Leicester City have already been crowned champions and Aston Villa can no longer avoid the drop, there is plenty still at stake for a number of teams on the final matchday.
Manchester United and West Ham United still have to play out their match in hand, with both teams still in the running for a European ticket, and if the Red Devils beat the Hammers at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday, they’ll play Bournemouth with a UEFA Champions League ticket at stake on the final weekend of the campaign.

Preview
The relegation scrap could end before Week 38 even begins, as Sunderland will be safe if they can beat Everton on Wednesday. The Black Cats will enter the match in solid form, having won two of their last four, while the Toffees have lost two of their last three.
Even if Sunderland lose, they’ll still have the advantage going into Week 38, with a trip to Watford on the schedule. Regardless of the result of Wednesday’s clash between Norwich and the Hornets, the Black Cats will lead the relegation battle by at least a point.
Per the club’s official Twitter account, manager Sam Allardyce warned fans not to assume Sunderland have won the battle, however:
Norwich have lost four in a row, and their late-season form has all but doomed the Canaries. Even a home win against Watford seems unlikely, and if they manage to win Wednesday’s match, they’ll still have to get past Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday and hope both Sunderland and Newcastle come up short.
Like Sunderland, the Magpies have been in better form of late, going unbeaten in their last five. But a scoreless draw against Villa couldn’t have come at a worse time, and Newcastle will host Tottenham Hotspur on the final matchday, with Spurs looking to stay ahead of rivals Arsenal in the standings.
All seems to be in favour of Sunderland, which doesn’t come as a surprise to ESPN FC’s Mike L. Goodman:
Further up the standings, Manchester United will be alive in the top-four race regardless of the result of Tuesday’s tussle with West Ham, but the Hammers’ final match at the Boleyn Ground will have major implications regardless.
The hosts would move past Southampton and within a single point of the Red Devils in the standings should they win, and with a visit to Stoke City on the schedule for the final matchday, UEFA Europa League qualification would be within reach.
United would pass rivals Manchester City in the standings with a win, with just the single match against Bournemouth left on the schedule.
The Manchester Evening News’ Samuel Luckhurst doubts whether the Red Devils can win both matches, but that may not be necessary:
City face a difficult trip to Wales to take on Swansea City on the final matchday, and the team have grabbed just one point from their last two matches and are finishing the season in dreadful form.
