We’ve got five Premier League predictions for Matchday 25 this weekend, with some fascinating ties scheduled.

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has sustained a hamstring injury and faces a period on the sidelines, in the wake of his Champions League suspension. The Brazil international was shown a red card during their 4-2 defeat to Benfica and will subsequently be absent from the rematch between the two sides.

Enzo Fernandez has hailed manager Liam Rosenior's impact since becoming Chelsea manager, with the Argentina midfielder hailing a new-found freedom in attack. The Blues currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, just one point behind fourth-placed Manchester United.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has sent a glowing farewell message to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after the 32-year-old trained with the club ahead of his move to Celtic. The former England international is set to seal his switch to Celtic Park as he prepares to undergo a medical and has been wished well by the Gunners manager.

Kylian Mbappe has sent a bailiff to Paris Saint-Germain to demand €5.9 million from his former employers, with the club now facing a deadline of eight days within which to pay the striker. The Ligue 1 giants have already paid out €55 million (£48m/$65m) of a €60.9m (£53m/$72m) settlement.

Chelsea Women have confirmed manager Sonia Bompastor has signed a new contract with the club which will run until 2030. The 45-year-old led the Blues to a domestic treble during her first season in west London, but this new deal comes despite her side sitting 12 points behind Women's Super League leaders Manchester City after Sunday's 5-1 defeat to their title rivals.

Sergio Ramos has reportedly offered himself to Marseille as he bids to find a new team. The former Real Madrid centre-back left Mexican side Monterrey on a free transfer after just 12 months with the club and is now seeking pastures new as he bids to continue his career elsewhere.

Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella was ambushed again by West Ham star Adama Traore after their fracas during the London derby at Stamford Bridge. The Spanish pair appeared on a chat show in their native country and an awkward reunion followed.

Minnesota United officially announced the signing of international star James Rodríguez, who will begin his first spell in Major League Soccer. Rodríguez will not occupy a Designated Player spot, and the deal is a short-term agreement set to run at least through the World Cup. The Colombian midfielder joins as a free agent after his contract with Liga MX side Leon expired in December.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been left out of Al-Nassr's squad for their clash with Al-Ittihad on Friday night. The Portuguese legend's relationship with the Saudi Pro League appears to be in ruins, with the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star reportedly threatening to quit and leave after the Public Investment Fund facilitated a transfer for Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal, the latter of whom are Al-Nassr's direct rivals for the league title this season.

"Football is a whole skill to itself. A whole world. A whole universe to itself. Me love it because you have to be skilful to play it. Freedom! Football is freedom."

Harry Kane is set to be available to play for Bayern Munich against Hoffenheim on Sunday after recovering from a cold, per a new report. There were fears over the striker's availability after he missed training in midweek but he appears to have recovered in time for this weekend's crucial Bundesliga encounter.

The jury has been out on Alejandro Garnacho among Chelsea fans and pundits alike since the divisive 21-year-old swapped Old Trafford for Stamford Bridge in the summer, but recent performances have cranked up scrutiny levels. A calamitous 45 minutes against West Ham last weekend prompted Gary Neville to point out that the winger looked like his confidence was "shot to pieces" - and it's difficult to argue with that observation.

Manchester United have been told to go and sign Jude Bellingham from Real Madrid to get back towards being a proper football team. Bellingham is having a difficult third season at the Bernabeu, receiving criticism for inconsistent performances under Xabi Alonso and successor Alvaro Arbeloa. And a former Red Devils defender believes they should try and bring him to Old Trafford.

Mikel Arteta has apologised to Liam Rosenior after the Chelsea boss complained that Arsenal's coaches were entering his side's half during their pre-match warm-ups. The two sides faced each other in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at the Emirates and the Blues boss was left fuming with the Gunners' behaviour.

Wayne Rooney has claimed he was involved in the best ever goal in Premier League history - although it was not one he scored personally. Rooney scored 208 goals in his 16 seasons in England's top flight for Manchester United and Everton but he believes the greatest strike ever was one by one of his Red Devils team-mates - which he helped set up with his finest ever pass.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has been discussing his retirement plans, with the Dutch defender being asked about whether he sees himself as a manager or pundit. There is still plenty left for the Premier League title winner to achieve before the day comes for boots to be hung up for the final time. He wants to continue inspiring the next generation across the present and future.

Walid Regragui has sent shockwaves through international football by offering his resignation just four months before the 2026 World Cup. The 50-year-old manager, who became a national hero during the 2022 tournament, is reportedly mentally exhausted following a heart-breaking African Cup of Nations final defeat to Senegal. His decision leaves the Atlas Lions in a state of total and sudden uncertainty.
