West Brom Vs Chelsea
West Bromwich Albion are mathematically safe from Relegation following their 1-1 draw at Newcastle in Gameweek 36. Tony Pulis can now look forward to planning the 2015/2016 Season at the helm following a difficult period. The Baggies have struggled at home lately with just a single point to show from their last three fixtures. Chelsea visit West Brom hoping to maintain their impressive record which has seen them lose just two Premier League fixtures this Season. The Blues may take the opportunity to integrate some younger squad members into the first team in an effort to encourage their development. Away win expected at The Hawthorns – Back a Chelsea victory here.
Prediction 1-3

Arsenal Vs Sunderland
Arsenal picked up a good point from their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday. The Gunners are now in pole position to secure 3rd place in the Premier League and avoid a potentially tricky encounter in the Champions League Qualification round early next Season. Sunderland would love to face the difficulty of a Champions League qualifier. The Black Cats are in the thick of the Relegation battle and are yet to secure safety with just two fixtures remaining. A single point from their trip to The Emirates would see them survive. Arsenal have failed to score in either of their last two Premier League games at home and Sunderland could capitalise. Home win expected – Back an Arsenal win here.
Prediction 2-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Southampton Vs Aston Villa
Southampton were the latest side to come unstuck against a resurgent Leicester City who are determined to retain their place in the Premier League. The Saints are on a poor run of form losing three of their last four fixtures. Aston Villa travel the South Coast looking for their third consecutive League win. The Villains sit on 38 points heading into Gameweek 37 but are not mathematically safe from Relegation just yet. Southampton will need to keep tabs on Christian Benteke who is in red hot form. Home win expected at St Marys – Back a Southampton win here.
Prediction 2-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Burnley Vs Stoke
Burnley have enjoyed a short stay in the Premier League and will be playing Championship football next Season. Despite picking up a much needed win in Gameweek 36, The Clarets offered too little, too late in order to preserve their Premier League status. Stoke made light work of Spurs dismissing the Top 4 hopefuls by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline at The Britannia. The Potters have struggled on the road lately and Burnley can rely on terrific home support which they have enjoyed all Season. All square at Turf Moor – Back a score draw here.
Prediction 1-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
QPR Vs Newcastle
Queens Park Rangers have officially been Relegated after a horror show at The Etihad on Sunday. Rangers lost by a 6-0 scoreline but the foundations for their demise were laid months ago with disastrous form away from home this Season. Newcastle United are another Club struggling at present but were able to stop the rot with a hard fought draw against West Brom on Saturday. The Magpies sit just two points above Hull in 17th place and need additional points to guarantee survival. Newcastle to take advantage of a demoralised QPR side – Back an away win here.
Prediction 1-2
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Spurs Vs Hull
Tottenham Hotspur have seen their Season unravel in recent weeks with just a single win from their last five Premier League matches. Spurs sit 6th in the Premiership heading into Gameweek 37 but could fall behind Swansea and Southampton unless their form improves. Hull face two huge matches to try and maintain their Premier League status. The Tigers sit in the bottom three and have a daunting match against Manchester United to end the Season. Steve Bruce’s side need a win in at least one match if they are to avoid Championship football next season. Home win expected at White Hart Lane – Back a Tottenham win here.
Prediction 2-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Sunderland Vs Leicester
Sunderland have given themselves an excellent opportunity to avoid the drop as they sit 16th in the Premiership with a game in hand over their Relegation rivals Newcastle and Hull. The Black Cats picked up a crucial away win at Everton last weekend and will be looking to make it three wins on the trot on Saturday. Leicester City sit at the top of the Premier League form guide with five wins from their last six fixtures. The Foxes have been terrific lately and will push Sunderland hard. A win for either side would see them guaranteed Premier League football next Season. Stalemate at The Stadium of Light – Back a draw here.
Prediction 1-1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
West Ham Vs Everton
West Ham United are limping towards the end of the Season in poor form which could see Sam Allardyce replaced during the Summer. The Hammers have registered a victory in just one of their last six Premier League fixtures and many West Ham fans believe it is time for a managerial change. Everton visit East London following a shock defeat at home in Gameweek 36. The Toffees remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table after a dismal start to the campaign and two consecutive defeats in recent weeks. Big Sam to mastermind a home win at Upton Park – Back a West Ham victory here.
Prediction 1-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Liverpool Vs Crystal Palace
Liverpool fans will be disappointed that their side could have been in the mix for a Top 4 finish had they not dropped points in games they were expected to win against lesser opposition. The Reds sit 5th heading into Gameweek 37 and will almost certainly be playing Europa League football next Season which could be detrimental to their domestic Premier League campaign. Crystal Palace seemed to be destined for a 1-1 draw before Fellaini found a winner at Selhurst Park. The Eagles have been a revelation since Alan Pardew was appointed as Manager and will look to build upon their progress next Season. Home win expected at Anfield – Back a Liverpool victory here.
Prediction 2-0
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Swansea Vs Manchester City
Swansea City have won three premier League matches in a row to ensure their Season ends on a positive note. The Swans have enjoyed an excellent campaign under Garry Monk despite losing Wilfried Bony in January. Manchester City have seen Chelsea win the Premier League title they were defending and are now fighting for second spot with Arsenal and Manchester United. Manuel Pelligrini could be replaced in the Summer with a squad overhaul looming. Sergio Aguero was razor sharp against a poor QPR side in Gameweek 36 and Swansea will need to be at their best to keep the Argentine forward quiet. Away win at The Liberty Stadium – Back a Manchester City victory here.
Prediction 0-2
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Manchester United Vs Arsenal
Manchester United host Arsenal looking to leapfrog the Gunners into 3rd place in the Premier League. The Red Devils picked up three points when they visited Crystal Palace which ended their 3 game losing streak. Finishing 3rd would earn United direct qualification to the Champions League Group Stage avoiding a potentially difficult qualifier early in the Season. Arsenal suffered a surprise defeat when Swansea visited The Emirates on Monday Night Football. Arsene Wenger’s side have a game in hand over United and would no doubt be happy with a draw from their trip to Manchester. Home win expected at Old Trafford – Back a Manchester United victory here.
Prediction 2-1
