Aston Villa vs Tottenham Preview:
 
This is a huge game for the home side and could really swing their chances of Champions League qualification in their favour with a win. At the same time if Unai Emery's side were to drop points it would hugely dent their chances. Form has got back on track with four wins from their last five games. Marcus Rashford could be missing but at home it's 4 wins in a row. Tottenham have now lost 20 games and are in 17th place. They are safe and all eyes will be focused on their Europa League final match next week. The club has picked up just 1 point from their last 15 away from home and have suffered news that Dejan Kuluevski will miss the rest of the season. 
 
Prediction: 3-1 to Aston Villa
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/Full Time: Aston Villa/Aston Villa at 1.91, Anytime goalscorer: Ollie Watkins at 1.66, Anytime goalscorer: John McGinn at 3.75
 
 
 
Chelsea vs Man Utd Preview:
 
Chelsea's Europa Conference League final is not for another 12 days and this means that it gives the Blues a chance to completely focus on their league games which they need to do in order to finish in the top five. Presently Enzo Maresca's side are in fifth with 63 points but only by goal difference over Aston Villa. The Blues did lose to Newcastle away last weekend but at home in their latest game showed up to beat Liverpool. Manchester United continue to be poor with 4 defeats from their last five games and will only be focusing on their Europa League final next week. Chelsea have no excuses not to win this match although forward Nicolas Jackson will be missing due to suspension. 
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Chelsea
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Correct Score: Chelsea to win 1-0 or 2-0 at 10.00 and 7.00, Anytime goalscorer: Cole Palmer at 2.00, Anytime goalscorer: Enzo Fernandez at 4.00
 
 
 
Everton vs Southampton Preview:
 
And so after 133 years Everton will leave Goodison Park in what will surely be one of the most emotional games in the clubs history. This season at least has seen the Toffees survive with ease in the end after David Moyes stepped in at the beginning of the year. Everton have only won 4 games at home but that's because of the amount of draws they have piled up which at 9 is the most for any home side in the league. Southampton will finish bottom of the league and have just 12 points. The Saints did pull off an incredible surprise as they managed to draw 0-0 at home to Manchester City last weekend but away from home they have won just 6 points from a possible 54. 
 
Key players out:
Everton: James Tarkowski, Jesper Lindstrom
Southampton: No players
 
Prediction: 3-0 to Everton
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Everton to beat Southampton at 1.44, Everton to score 3+ goals at 2.75, Anytime goalscorer: Dwight McNeil at 3.25, Anytime goalscorer: Beto at 2.00
 
 
 
West Ham vs Nottm Forest Preview:
 
West Ham are in 15th place with 40 points and whilst it hasn't been a good season for the Hammers every fan would have rejoiced in an excellent away win last weekend against Manchester United. The Hammers have been suffering at home though lately with no wins in their last 4 including three draws. Nottingham Forest certainly have bigger fish to fry and they must win this match to have any chance of qualifying for Champions League football next season. In fact lose here and those dreams are over. Forest have not won a game in almost a month but win here and they would set up a final day mouthwatering clash with Chelsea.
 
Key players out:
West Ham: Crysensio Summerville 
Nottingham Forest: Callum Hudson-Odoi, Murillo
 
Prediction: 2-1 to West Ham
 
Recommended Betting Tips: West Ham to beat Nottingham Forest at 2.75, West Ham to score 2+ goals at 2.50, Anytime goalscorer: Jarrod Bowen at 2.75
 
 
 
Brentford vs Fulham Preview:
 
Brentford have been the best form team in the league and have won 4 games in a row. They have climbed up to 8th place and have 55 points. The Bees are unbeaten for their last 3 at home and have only lost one in five. Fulham are in 11th but this is not a good moment for the Cottagers who have lost 4 games from their last 5, any type of European finish is now off the cards too and this should be a fairly tough away game for them to go to and we expect to see a home victory. 
 
Key players out:
Brentford: Vitaly Janlet
Fulham: Timothy Castagne, Reiss Nelson, Rodrigo Muniz
 
Prediction: 3-1 to Brentford
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Brentford to beat Fulham at 2.00, Both teams to score at 1.57, Anytime goalscorer: Bryan Mbeumbo at 2.50, Anytime goalscorer: Yoane Wissa at 2.40
 
 
 
Leicester vs Ipswich Preview:
 
These two clubs have already been relegated and it's fair to say that no one is expecting a vintage game. However with both sets of players freed up from pressure we may still see an interesting one. The biggest narrative will be around Leicester's Jamie Vardy with the club legend playing his final game for the Foxes. Ipswich have picked up just 2 points from their last 15 and with both sides on 22 points each there remains a mini battle to see which side can finish in 18th. 
 
Key players out:
Leicester: Bobby DeCordova Reid, Mads Hermansen
Ipswich: Conor Townsend, Nathan Broadhead
 
Prediction: 2-0 to Leicester
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Leicester to beat Ipswich at 2.25, Anytime goalscorer: Jamie Vardy at 2.20
 
 
 
Arsenal vs Newcastle Preview:
 
There is a worry for Arsenal who should qualify for Champions League football but could well finish below 2nd place. If this happens together with being knocked out of the Champions League this would represent a huge fall out in what looked like being a memorable campaign. The Gunners recent form has no wins in their last three games. Newcastle are in 3rd place and need to win to keep up their top five chances and have had good success over Arsenal already this season in the Carabao Cup. But the Magpies have failed to win their last two games away from home. 
 
Key players out:
Arsenal: Mikel Merino, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz
Newcastle: Joelinton, Kieran Trippier, Matt Targett
 
Prediction: 3-2 to Arsenal
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Arsenal to beat Newcastle at 1.91, First goalscorer: Bukayo Saka at 7.00, Over 3.5 goals at 2.75, Sending off in the game at 5.00
 
 
 
Brighton vs Liverpool Preview:
 
Even though Brighton come into this game 10 points adrift of a European place, more positions are opening up because of how well English teams are doing in Europe and the Seagulls have a very good chance of making Europe next season. They are unbeaten in their last 3 games and overcame Wolves last week. Liverpool are still enjoying their title win and have clearly slowed down in recent weeks with no wins in their last two games. Manager Arne Slot will want a good response in this game though and the Reds do have the best away form in the league having lost only two times. 
 
Key players out:
Brighton: Soloman March, Kaoru Mitoma
Liverpool: Joe Gomez
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Liverpool
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Liverpool to beat Brighton at 2.50, Anytime goalscorer: Mohamed Salah at 2.00, Anytime goalscorer: Luis Diaz at 3.00
 
 
 
Crystal Palace vs Wolves Preview:
 
Crystal Palace look like they will be finishing in 12th place this season. The Eagles will take that because all that matters is that they have finally won some silverware in their history. Palace historically beat Manchester City 1-0 in the final and in the league they are unbeaten in their last 4 games. Wolves are in 14th and trail their hosts by 8 points. This season looks like tailng off for them and they have lost their last two games in a row. 
 
Key players out:
Crystal Palace : Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton
Wolves: Hwang Hee Chan
 
Prediction: 2-1 to Crystal Palace
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Crystal Palace to beat Wolves at 2.50, Correct Score: Crystal Palace to win 2-1 at 8.50
 
 
 
Man City vs Bournemouth Preview:
 
This is a huge game for Manchester City who are in 6th place and won't currently qualify for the Champions League which would have been unthinkable at the beginning of the season. Just how will City get over losing the FA Cup final? Bournemouth are in 11th place but if they can win their last two games of the season they may just have an outside chance of Europe next season. The Cherries are unbeaten in their last four games away from home. 
 
Key players out:
Manchester City: Rodri, John Stones, Oscar Bobb
Bournemouth: Alex Scott, Ryan Christie
 
Prediction: 3-1 to Man City
 
Recommended Betting Tips: Half Time/ Full Time: Manchester City/ Manchester City at 2.20, Anytime goalscorer: Erling Haaland at 1.72, Anytime goalscorer: Kevin De Bruyne at 3.30
