Premier League Table: 2017 Standings, Week 37 Fixtures After Week 36 Results

Chelsea moved within one win of being crowned 2016-17 Premier League champions after they defeated Middlesbrough 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening.

Diego Costa, Marcos Alonso and Nemanja Matic all contributed to the scoreline as Middlesbrough struggled to put up much of a fight against the best team in England at present.

That result means the Blues can seal this season's title if they beat West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns on Friday night, with second-placed Tottenham Hotspur trailing by seven points with three matches remaining.

Week 37 of the Premier League campaign will be the busiest of this term, with 15 matches scheduled across a span of only six days as teams across the country look to balance their fixtures ahead of the season closer on May 21.

Read on for a roundup of all the Week 36 results from the Premier League, as well as a look ahead to a jam-packed penultimate week of English top-flight entertainment.

West Bromwich Albion vs. Chelsea

It will all boil down to a Friday night fixture at the Hawthorns for Chelsea after Monday's one-sided thumping of a limp Boro team pushed the Blues within an inch of their second title in three seasons.

Stamford Bridge was abuzz with the sense that silverware was almost within its grasp once again, and while Middlesbrough effectively rolled over in their defiance, Chelsea were close to playing without error in their win:

The New York Times' Rory Smith illustrated the test that stands between the west London giants and a maiden Premier League trophy for manager Antonio Conte, who has settled with ease into his Chelsea role:

They'll encounter Tony Pulis' West Brom at the opportune moment, too, considering the Baggies have lost their last three home matches in succession, with each coming via 1-0 scorelines.

If the Blues get a head of steam on Friday, one feels Conte's cohorts will be looking to win by more than just a solitary strike, with plenty of motivation ahead of Chelsea as they stand 90 minutes away from Premier League glory.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United

While Chelsea may be able to finally put their hands on the Premier League trophy on Friday, Tottenham Hotspur know a tremendous task awaits them when they play host to Manchester United this Sunday.

Ahead of what will be their final game at White Hart Lane before moving into next season's temporary home, Wembley Stadium, Spurs' official Twitter account shared a statistical glimpse of what awaits United:

The north London outfit have been imperious in front of their own fans this season and can cap an unbeaten home campaign as long as they avoid defeat on Friday.

Tottenham are fortunate in that United have their attentions focused elsewhere at present, namely with Thursday's UEFA Europa League semi-final second-leg meeting against Celta Vigo.

Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho has already endured a glut of injury setbacks in recent weeks and will be hoping no more appear in the European fixture that could disrupt his side's busy May schedule.

That distraction may hand Tottenham the advantage they require to see out the unbeaten home record they've very arguably deserved, and United's 2-0 loss at Arsenal last Sunday may be just the start of their woes in north London.
