The Premier League has finally announced the schedule for the penultimate gameweek of the season.
Chelsea and Manchester City are scheduled to face each other in the FA Cup Final on Saturday, May 16th, but neither side will play that weekend, instead rescheduled matches will be played on different days.
In fact, Chelsea are set to face relegation-threatened Tottenham, but the match will take place on Tuesday, May 19th at 8:15pm, five days before the final day of the season. This match could have huge implications for both sides, with the Blues fighting for Europe while Spurs are fighting to avoid relegation.
Meanwhile, City are in the race for the Premier League title, with games scheduled either side of the game against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium. They will host Crystal Palace on Wednesday 13th May before traveling to Bournemouth on Tuesday 19th May (before returning for their participation in the FA Cup final).
Elsewhere, City’s title rivals Arsenal are scheduled to play Burnley at home on Monday 18 May.

Elsewhere, changes to that weekend’s match between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are still being considered. This is because either side could qualify for the Europa League final on Wednesday, May 20th.
If Villa qualify for the final, the match against Liverpool on May 17 will be moved to Friday, May 15 with an 8pm kick-off on Sky Sports. Forest will also see their 12.30pm kick-off against Manchester United at Old Trafford moved to the same date and time.
Below are the penultimate weekend’s matches, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK ahead of the final day of the 2025/26 Premier League season next Sunday.
