Aston Villa Vs Chelsea
Due to The FA Cup Final, only one Premier League fixture takes place on Saturday. Aston Villa welcome Chelsea to Villa Park looking to secure safety with their third consecutive League win. Chelsea played out one of the games of the season when Spurs visited Stamford Bridge. The Blues are in pole position to secure 3rd place but any slip ups at Villa will be music to the ears of Arsenal and Spurs below them.
Prediction 1-2

Stoke Vs Tottenham
Super Sunday kicks off at The Britannia as Spurs look to boost their Champions League hopes with just two games to go. Stoke have put their wretched run of form behind them and are undefeated in their last 3 League games. Sitting on 41 points, a victory over Spurs would move The Potters into the top half. Tottenham could only manage a draw at Stamford Bridge and trail Chelsea and Arsenal heading into Gameweek 37. Huge game in terms of Champions League football next season.
Prediction 1-1

Everton Vs West Ham
Following a dramatic week, David Moyes will take charge of his last match as Everton manager at Goodison Park. The Toffees played out a 0-0 stalemate against Liverpool last Gameweek. West Ham United have assured themselves of top flight football next term. The Hammers failed to find the net last weekend and will struggle to break down a resolute Everton defence. David Moyes to leave Goodison with a win which guarantees Everton will finish above Liverpool.
Prediction 2-0

Fulham Vs Liverpool
Fulham have suffered a dip in form at exactly the wrong time. Despite sitting on 40 points, The Cottagers are not mathematically safe just yet. Liverpool failed to break down Everton at Anfield and had to settle for a share of the spoils on Sunday. The Reds have won 2 of their last 3 matches away from Anfield and given Fulham’s recent form Brendan Rodgers will hope to make it 3 wins out of 4 on the road.
Prediction 1-1

Norwich Vs West Brom
Norwich are in the thick of the relegation battle heading into Gameweek 37. The Canaries have lost two key games against fellow strugglers in their last matches. Depending on results elsewhere, Norwich could find themselves in the bottom 3 if they lose on Sunday. West Brom have lost two on the bounce and will want to finish their excellent campaign on a high note. Norwich have more to play for and I am backing them to lift Carrow Road with a victory.
Prediction 1-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
QPR Vs Newcastle
Queens Park Rangers have nothing but pride to play for having been relegated a few weeks ago. Harry Redknapp will turn his attention to next season and may experiment with younger players. Newcastle are hovering perilously one place above the drop zone. Should Wigan win their match and Newcastle lose, The Geordies will be heading into Gameweek 38 in the drop zone. Despite QPR having nothing to play for this game has huge implications.
Prediction 1-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Sunderland Vs Southampton
Sunderland enjoyed early success under Paolo Di Canio but are without a win in two League matches. The Black Cats need to register points here to ensure they don’t fall into the bottom 3 heading into Gameweek 38. Southampton have performed well this season and despite the change in management are just one victory away from safety. The winner of this match should be guaranteed Premier League football next season.
Prediction 2-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Manchester United Vs Swansea
Fans at Old Trafford will be bidding farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson as he guides Manchester United at home for the last time. Fergie has called time on his amazing career and will see his side lift the Premier League trophy before he departs Old Trafford. Swansea will feel that they are merely making up the numbers as all eyes will be on the outgoing manager in the home dugout. I expect United to give Sir Alex the send-off he deserves with a comfortable victory.
Prediction 3-0
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Arsenal Vs Wigan
Arsenal seem to have a great opportunity to cement their place in the Top 4 when Wigan visit The Emirates on Tuesday evening. The Gunners will benefit from additional rest and their opponents may suffer from fatigue following their FA Cup Final on Saturday. The Latics may be at a disadvantage following their impressive run in the FA Cup. Arsene Wenger will demand 3 points from this game as the Gunners face a tricky journey to Newcastle on the last day of the season.
Prediction 3-1
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Reading Vs Manchester City
Reading host Manchester City on Tuesday evening due to City’s FA Cup commitments on Saturday. Reading have been relegated for some weeks now and have nothing but pride left to play for. The Royals have only lost one of their last four League fixtures. Manchester City will be focused on finishing second in the table and will now be looking forward to next season. I expect City to show some signs of fatigue from the Cup Final.
Prediction 1-1
