EPL: Three fixtures that could produce shock results in Match Day 34

The Premier League enters its decisive phase this weekend, with Match Day 34 set to feature several high-stakes encounters that could produce unexpected outcomes.

 

Chelsea and Manchester City will not be in league action as they focus on their FA Cup semi-final ties against Leeds United and Southampton respectively, leaving the spotlight on the remaining fixtures across the division.

 

Here are three matches where shock results could be on the cards:

 

1. Wolves vs Tottenham Hotspur

Wolves were confirmed earlier this week as the first side relegated from the Premier League this season. However, their final home games could still prove disruptive for visiting teams. Spurs, meanwhile, are under pressure in a difficult run of form and have struggled for wins in 2026. With Wolves playing without pressure and Tottenham lacking consistency, this fixture could swing either way.

 

2. Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

Liverpool remain in contention for a strong top-four or top-five finish and need maximum points to maintain their position. Crystal Palace, however, arrive at Anfield in solid form and still pushing for a higher league finish. With momentum on their side, Palace could test Liverpool more than expected and potentially cause an upset.

 

3. Manchester United vs Brentford

Brentford’s late-season surge has placed them in an unexpected battle for Champions League qualification. They travel to Old Trafford to face a Manchester United side that appears more secure in their league standing. With Brentford chasing vital points and United potentially rotating or easing off, the Bees could spring a surprise result.

 

As the season approaches its climax, fine margins and motivation could prove decisive in shaping outcomes across the league.
