Gameweek 35 of the Premier League is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the cracking clash between Chelsea and Liverpool.
Manchester City vs Wolves
Manchester City will take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Friday, and they will look to continue to push for UEFA Champions League qualification with a victory at home.
The outgoing Premier League champions have picked up eight wins from their last nine matches against Wolves, and they will be confident of getting a good result here. However, the visitors have won their last six matches in the top flight. Manchester City cannot afford to underestimate the away side.
This is likely to be a close contest packed with goals. Both teams will look to grind out a good result here. 24 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between the two teams, and another high-scoring game is on the cards.
Probable bet: over 2.5 goals
Aston Villa vs Fulham
Aston Villa will host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to pick up a win at home. The Villans are seventh in the league table, and they are still very much in with a chance of securing UEFA Champions League qualification.
The West Midlands outfit are coming into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats against Manchester City and Crystal Palace. They will look to bounce back strongly. On the other hand, Fulham have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions.
The Cottagers will look to get their season back on track with a positive performance here. Aston Villa have won their last five matches against Fulham, and they will be the favourites here. They have scored at least twice in their last four matches against the West London club.
Probable bet: Aston Villa win
Everton vs Ipswich Town
Everton host Ipswich Town in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to get back to winning ways here. The Toffees have picked up just one win from their last six top-flight matches, and they are coming into this game on the back of two league defeats.
On the other hand, Ipswich Town are 18th in the league table and they have been relegated from the Premier League. They will look to salvage some pride with a positive performance here. Ipswich have failed to win 14 of their last 15 Premier League matches, and this will be a difficult outing for them.
Everton picked up a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town earlier this season, and they should be able to grind out another three points.
Probable bet: Everton win
Leicester City vs Southampton
Leicester City host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, and both teams have been relegated from the first division. They will look to put on a strong performance and give the fans something to cheer about. Both teams are without a win in their last six matches in all competitions.
This is likely to be a cracking contest between two evenly matched teams. 24 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between the two teams, and this one is likely to be a high-scoring contest as well.
Probable bet: Over 2.5 goals
Arsenal vs Bournemouth
Arsenal will host Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to pick up a win at home. The Premier League title has already been decided, and Arsenal have nothing to play for in the top flight anymore. The Gunners have drawn three of their last four matches in the top flight, and they will look to bounce back strongly.
Meanwhile, the Cherries are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games. However, they have drawn three of those. They picked up a win over Arsenal in the league back in October, and it will be interesting to see if they can pull off another upset.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last eight home matches against Bournemouth, and they are undefeated in their last eight Premier League games as well. A double chance on the home team seems ideal.
Probable bet: Arsenal win or draw
West Ham United vs Tottenham
West Ham United host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, and they will look to pick up a win at home. Both teams have been quite vulnerable in recent weeks, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Tottenham have picked up one win from their last six Premier League matches, and West Ham are winless in their six most recent outings. Games between these two teams are packed with goals and given the fact that they have been defensively vulnerable this season, this one is likely to be a high-scoring affair as well. 19 goals have been scored in the last six meetings between the two teams.
Probable bet: Both teams to score
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United
Brighton & Hove Albion host Newcastle United in the Premier League this weekend, and they will look to build on the win over West Ham United last time out. On the other hand, Newcastle are third in the league table, and they are pushing for UEFA Champions League qualification.
The away side cannot afford to drop points here. The Magpies have won five of their last six matches in the Premier League, and they will be the favourites here. Newcastle United have not won any of their last four matches against Brighton, and they need to raise their performance levels here.
Probable bet: Newcastle win or draw
Brentford vs Manchester United
Brentford host Manchester United in the Premier League at the weekend, and they will look to pick up a win against a vulnerable Manchester United side. The Bees are coming into this game on the back of a win over Brighton & Hove Albion, and they are unbeaten in four of the last five matches in all competitions (before the outing against Nottingham Forest).
Manchester United have picked up just one win from their last five matches in all competitions, and they are 14th in the Premier League standings. However, they have an impressive record against Brentford with four wins and a draw from the last six meetings. Perhaps a double chance on the visitors would be ideal.
Probable bet: Manchester United win or draw
Chelsea vs Liverpool
Chelsea will host Liverpool in the Premier League this Sunday, and they will look to continue their push for UEFA Champions League qualification with a win over the newly-crowned champions. Chelsea are undefeated in their last five league matches, and Liverpool have nothing to play for anymore.
It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. Liverpool are undefeated in their last six matches against Chelsea, and they are unbeaten in 29 of their 30 most recent Premier League games as well. A double chance on the visitors would be ideal here.
Probable bet: Liverpool win or draw
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
Crystal Palace will host Nottingham Forest on Monday night, and they will look to get back to winning ways. The Eagles are without a win in their last four league matches. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest are still pushing for Champions League qualification, and they are coming into this game on the back of an impressive victory over Tottenham in the league.
Crystal Palace picked up an impressive win in the FA Cup over Aston Villa as well. Both teams will look to grind out of positive result here. Three of the last four matches between these two teams have ended in a draw, and it would not be a surprise if they cancel each other out once again.
Probable bet: Draw
