Gameweek 38 of the Premier League is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the title-defining clashes involving Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal vs Everton
Arsenal host Everton on the final day of the season, and they will look to grind out a home win and hope to win the Premier League title. They will need Manchester City to drop points in their final game in order to win the elusive trophy.
Arsenal are in tremendous form right now, and they have picked up 15 wins from their last 17 league games. They have a formidable home record against Everton as well, winning nine of their last ten meetings at the Emirates.
Everton have shown an upturn in form, and they are coming into this game on the back of four wins and a draw from their last five league matches. However, Arsenal are fully motivated for the win, and they are the better team on paper. They should be able to grind out a victory here.
Probable Bet: Arsenal win
Brentford vs Newcastle United
Brentford host Newcastle United in the Premier League, and they will look to build on the win over Bournemouth last time out. They are 16th in the league table, and they will look to finish the season on a high with the win at home.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are still in with a chance of securing European qualification, and they will look to bounce back from the defeat against Manchester united. The Magpies have picked up four wins from the last six matches against Brentford, and they will look to complete a league double over the Bees this weekend.
This is likely to be a close contest. But Newcastle United will have a better team, and they are in better run of form as well. An away win is on the cards.
Probable Bet: Newcastle win
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United
Brighton & Hove Albion host Manchester United in the Premier League, and they will look to bounce back from the defeat against Chelsea with a win at home. Meanwhile, the Red Devils have been quite vulnerable defensively, and the home team will look to take advantage of that.
Brighton are undefeated in their last five matches against Manchester United, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form against the Red Devils. Brighton picked up a 3-1 win at Old Trafford earlier this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can complete a league double over Manchester United.
Brighton & Hove Albion have also managed to keep a clean sheet in the last three home games against Manchester United. A double chance on the home team seems like a safe bet.
Probable Bet: Brighton to win or draw
Burnley vs Nottingham Forest
Burnley host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, and they will look to and the season with the win and give the fans something to cheer about. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest have surely escaped relegation because of their superior goal difference over Luton Town. Even if they lose the last game, they should be safe from the drop.
Both teams will look to give the fans something to cheer about, and they have nothing to lose here. This could be an entertaining contest. Four of the last six meetings between these two sides have seen both teams get on the scoresheet, and another high scoring contest could be on the cards here.
Probable Bet: Over 2.5 goals
Chelsea vs Bournemouth
Chelsea host Bournemouth in the Premier League, and they will look to keep their Europa League qualification hopes alive with a win at home. The Blues have shown tremendous improvement since the turn of the year, and they have climbed to sixth place in the league table.
The West Londoners are coming into this game on the back of four consecutive wins, and they will be the favourite serial. On the other hand, Bournemouth are coming into this contest on the back of two consecutive league defeats, and they are 11th in the table.
Chelsea have been scoring goals freely as well with at least twice in 11 of their last 12 league games. They should be able to grind out all three points against the Cherries.
Probable Bet: Chelsea win
Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa
Crystal Palace host Aston Villa in the Premier League, and they will look to finish the season with an impressive result at home. They have shown tremendous form in recent weeks, winning five and drawing one of their last six league matches.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have nothing to play for after securing UEFA Champions League qualification, and it remains to be seen whether they can end their winless run with a victory on the final day. Aston Villa are winless in four of their last six league games.
This is likely to be a close contest between the two sides, and a high-scoring game could be on the cards here. 19 goals have been scored in the last six matches between these two teams and over 2.5 goals seem likely.
Probable Bet: Over goals/Both teams to score
Liverpool vs Wolves
Liverpool host Wolves in the Premier League on the final day of the season, and they will look to pick up a win at home and give Jurgen Klopp a memorable send-off. The Reds managed to beat Wolves earlier this season, and they will be the favourites heading into this game.
Liverpool have won ten of the last 12 matches against Wolves in all competitions. They have also scored at least twice in their last four home games against Wolves. Meanwhile, the visitors are coming into this game on the back of four defeats from the last five league matches. They are completely devoid of form and confidence right now and they are likely to crash to yet another defeat here.
Probable Bet: Liverpool win
Luton Town vs Fulham
Luton Town host Fulham in the Premier League, and they are likely to go down regardless of the result here. The Hatters will look to pick up a home win and give the fans something to celebrate.
They have failed to win 15 of the last 16 league matches, and this will be a difficult contest for them. Fulham are undefeated in their last five matches against Luton, and they will look to and they are winless run with a victory here.
The Cottagers have picked up just one win from their last six league matches, and it remains to be seen whether they can grind out a positive result here. 21 goals have been scored in the last five matches between these two teams, and a high-scoring contest is on the cards here. A double chance on Fulham would be a safe bet as well.
Probable Bet: Fulham or Draw/ Both teams to score/ Over 2.5 goals
Manchester City vs West Ham United
Manchester City host West Ham United in the Premier League at the weekend, and they know that a win here will win the title for them. They will be desperate to pick up a victory here, and they will be the firm favourites as well.
The defending champions have picked up eight home wins against West Ham in their last eight meetings, and they are on a six-match winning run in the Premier League as well. On the other hand, the Hammers have failed to win four of the last five Premier League games. West Ham have not beaten Manchester City in normal time in the last six meetings, and they are likely to come up short once again.
Probable Bet: Man City win

They have lost their last six league games, and they are completely devoid of confidence and form.
