Chelsea Vs Leicester
Chelsea will form a guard of honour for the new Champions of England prior to Kick Off having won the title themselves just twelve months ago. The Blues have been well off the pace this Season and Guus Hiddink will manage his last game as Blues boss before Antonio Conte takes over in the Summer. Leicester have enjoyed a remarkable campaign and will be determined to finish on a high note. Claudio Ranieri visits his former Club and can expect a warm welcome from the Chelsea fans on his return to West London.

Everton Vs Norwich
Everton have sacked Manager Roberto Martinez following a hugely disappointing campaign. The Toffees have lost three of their last four matches but the manner of defeat at Sunderland must have been particularly worrying to those in the boardroom at Everton. Despite a mid-week victory Norwich were relegated on Wednesday evening. The Canaries had lost four straight games without registering a goal which left their fate in the hands of Sunderland. Both Clubs can expect an overhaul this Summer after falling short of expectations this Season. Bore draw at Goodison Park – Back a stalemate here.
Prediction 0-0

The Cherries did enough earlier in the Season to be assured of their Premier League status for at least one more year. United will be hoping Swansea can do them a favour against Manchester City.

Prediction 2-1

Newcastle Vs Spurs
Newcastle fans feared the worst when they were relying on other results in order to secure their Premier League survival. In a cruel twist of fate it was Newcastle’s arch rivals Sunderland who condemned them to Relegation following their win over Everton on Wednesday evening.

Swansea Vs Manchester City
Swansea City will be roared on by a vocal home crowd in addition to the Red half of Manchester who require a City defeat if they are to have any chance of a Top 4 finish. The Swans are in good form winning four on the trot on their own patch and will give City a tough match on Sunday. Manchester City have picked up just a single point from their last two fixtures which has opened the door for United to creep into the Top 4. Manuel Pelligrini takes charge of City for the last time on Sunday and will be keen to bow out with a victory following the disappointment of a 2-2 draw with Arsenal in Gameweek 37. Away win expected at The Liberty Stadium – Back a Manchester City victory here.
Prediction 1-2
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Watford Vs Sunderland
Watford were beaten on Wednesday night but had already done enough to secure their Premier League survival this Season.

Sunderland fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief following their 3-0 win over Everton on Wednesday evening. The Black Cats have avoided the drop and condemned fierce rivals Newcastle to Championship football in the process.
