Manchester United Vs Hull City
Manchester United went down to a shock 1-0 defeat when Sunderland visited Old Trafford on Saturday. A single Larsson goal was enough to send Ryan Giggs’ side to yet another home defeat this term. Wayne Rooney missed out at the weekend due to injury and is a doubt for this clash. Hull also lost at the weekend to a spirited Aston Villa side. The Tigers have had a good campaign overall and are mathematically safe in the top flight for another season. Steve Bruce will be encouraged by the number of sides have got points at Old Trafford this year. Home win expected.
Prediction 2-1

Manchester City Vs Aston Villa
Manchester City took a giant stride towards landing the Premier League crown by beating Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday evening. Manuel Pelligrini’s side sit one point behind League leaders Liverpool with a game in hand. Aguero limped off at the weekend and is doubtful for this match while Yaya Toure looks poised to start in midfield. Aston Villa secured their Premier League status with a big win over Hull at the weekend. An interesting Summer awaits at Villa Park with the owner reportedly considering his position at the Club.

Sunderland Vs West Brom
Sunderland are on the verge of making the great escape a reality. The Black Cats have now won three on the spin including trips to Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford – A remarkable run of form. Gus Poyet deserves tremendous credit for not accepting relegation when things looked bleak. West Brom sit one point clear of their hosts heading into this clash having lost at Arsenal on Sunday. Courtesy of their superior goal difference, The Baggies are all but safe for another season. Sunderland to extend their winning run to send Norwich into The Championship.
Prediction 2-0

West Ham Vs Tottenham
Gameweek 37 kicks off with a London Derby as West ham host Tottenham at Upton Park. The Hammers seemed 100% safe but have since lost four matches in a row to leave them stranded on 37 points with two matches to play. Tottenham Hotspur have won three of their last four but have failed to keep pace with Arsenal and Everton and will miss out on a Top 4 finish this season. Tim Sherwood seems certain to be replaced in the Summer but will want to bow out on a positive note. Away win expected.
Prediction 1-2
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aston Villa Vs Hull City
Aston Villa fans have seen their side fail to pick up a win in their last three matches at Villa Park. After a nervous climax last season the Villa faithful are seeing their nerves shredded once again. With Christian Benteke out through injury Paul Lambert’s side have struggled for goals. Hull City have had an excellent campaign under Steve Bruce and sit two points ahead of their hosts heading into this clash. Stalemate expected.
Prediction 0-0

Manchester United Vs Sunderland
Manchester United began the Ryan Giggs managerial stint with a crushing 4-0 win over Norwich at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney seems to be a late fitness worry and with nothing left to play for this season United will be reluctant to their talisman. Sunderland have produced a remarkable run of results culminating in their impressive win at Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 35. If the Black Cats can avoid the drop it would be a tremendous achievement from Gus Poyet’s side. Home win expected.
Prediction 3-1

Newcastle Vs Cardiff City
Newcastle United have had a miserable 2014 after a very impressive start to the campaign. Alan Pardew’s position is being questioned by a number of fans who have seen their side lose six matches in a row. Cardiff are also in poor form heading to the North East with just a single win in their last six Premier League outings. The Bluebirds sit bottom of the table heading into this fixture and are in desperate need of two wins from their last two matches. With Newcastle having nothing to play for I predict an away win at St James’ Park.
Prediction 0-2
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Stoke Vs Fulham
Stoke saw their winning streak at home come to an end when Tottenham Hotspur visited in Gameweek 36. The Potters have made The Britannia a difficult place to visit and Fulham will need to be at their very best if they are to leave with any points on Saturday. The Cottagers have picked up seven points in their last four matches to give themselves a chance of avoiding relegation. A Sunderland win and defeat at Stoke would send Fulham into The Championship. Home win expected.
Prediction 2-0

Swansea Vs Southampton
Swansea recorded a big 4-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend to make themselves mathematically safe. Premier League football is now guaranteed at The Liberty Stadium next season. Garry Monk deserves great credit for getting two crucial wins when the pressure was really on. Southampton visit South Wales having picked up a shock 2-0 win when Everton visited St Marys last weekend. The Saints could contribute a number of players to the England World Cup squad following an impressive campaign they will want to end on a high. All square.
Prediction 1-1

Everton Vs Manchester City
Saturday Night Football sees two teams desperate to secure three points for different reasons. The Toffees have suffered a wobble at exactly the wrong time in their quest to break into the Top 4. Two defeats have seen them lose ground on Arsenal and 3 points are essential on Saturday. City have been handed a huge boost by Chelsea who beat Liverpool last weekend to put Pelligrini’s men in pole position to win the Premier League. City will go top of the table if they win at Goodison Park. Away win expected.
Prediction 1-3
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Arsenal Vs West Brom
Arsenal secured a 3-0 win over Newcastle on Monday Night Football to put themselves in a great position to finish inside the Top 4 yet again. The Gunners have won three on the bounce and scored three goals in each of those matches at just the right time to ease Everton out of a Top 4 finish. West Brom are four points clear of the Relegation Zone but are not mathematically safe heading into Gameweek 37. The Baggies have been in good form lately with just one defeat in their last four outings. Arsenal to secure Champions League football with a win at The Emirates.
Prediction 3-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chelsea Vs Norwich
Chelsea put an end to Liverpool’s winning streak and gave the momentum to Manchester City in the title race last Sunday. The Blues played a tactically excellent game at Anfield but lost to Athletico Madrid on Wednesday night in the Champions League Semi Final. Chelsea would go to the top of the table with a win here but Liverpool and City could hit back with games in hand. Norwich are in the bottom three and face an uphill struggle if they are to avoid relegation to The Championship. Chelsea to pile the pressure on Liverpool and leave Norwich facing Championship football next season.
Prediction 2-0
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Crystal Palace Vs Liverpool
Crystal Palace were unable to provide another upset when a ruthless Manchester City side visited on Sunday afternoon in Gameweek 36. The Eagles have had a tremendous turnaround in fortunes since Tony Pulis took over and could yet finish in the top half of the Premier League. Liverpool suffered a crushing defeat which could see them miss out on the title when Chelsea visited Anfield with a supposedly weakened side with one eye on the Champions League Semi Final. Brendan Rodgers side will be hoping that Everton can do them a favour on Saturday evening by preventing City from picking up a win at Goodison Park. Away win expected.
Prediction 1-2
