Aston Villa vs Fulham
Aston Villa were on course for a brilliant 2024/25 season, with the Villans in the running for the Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League top four as the season entered into April, but recent results have significantly hampered their campaign.
The Villans crashed out of both cup competitions, while a defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League means they are three points behind fifth-placed Chelsea, leaving Unai Emery’s men needing to desperately pick up points to overturn that deficit in the final four games.
Similarly, Fulham have dropped to eighth and trail their hosts by six points, meaning they are also eagerly looking for all three points, leaving this game likely to be full of drama.
While Fulham will put up a formidable fight for the victory, with Aston Villa returning to Villa Park and still in contention for a top four spot, we believe the hosts will win this one.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth
Arsenal’s focus will certainly be on the Champions League, with the Gunners trailing Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 after the first leg defeat, leaving everything to play for when they travel to France next week.
That is another underwhelming result in a long line for Arsenal, who have now won only six of their last 13, alongside six draws.
As the Gunners are coming up against a Bournemouth side that have also recorded their fair share of stalemates this season, with 11 in 34 Premier League fixtures, this one could well end all square once again.

Brighton vs Newcastle
Alexander Isak is having the best season of his career, with the striker boasting 26 goals and six assists in 39 appearances for Newcastle United across all competitions, including four in his last seven games.
The striker has already netted against the Seagulls this season, in Newcastle’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton in the FA Cup fifth round, and given Isak’s remarkable record this campaign, we believe he will continue his scoring form and score once again.

Chelsea vs Liverpool
Liverpool wrapped up the 20th league title in their history as they hammered Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 last weekend, leaving nothing but pride on the line for Arne Slot’s side as they aim to end the season on a high.
However, their opponents, Chelsea, still have everything to play for, with the Blues battling tooth and nail for a top five spot to confirm their return to the Champions League next year.
With Liverpool’s season virtually finished and celebrations likely still underway, while Chelsea are still desperately in need of vital points, that could point to a narrow victory for the Blues.
