It’s the final day of the 2024/2025 Premier League season and what is one of the best spectacles in sport is lacking some of the normal fireworks.
All 10 games kick off at the same time, but only four are really worth watching with three Champions League qualification spots still to be resolved.
As it stands Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea all have their fate in their own hands, simply needing to win to ensure their participation in Europe’s top club competition.
Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are forced to scoreboard watch, needing to win their respective matches and hope that one or two of the aforementioned trio falter.
It makes Forest’s clash with Chelsea a de facto final and the headline clash this weekend.
Find our previews and best bets for every game below.
Bournemouth vs Leicester
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth 2 – Leicester 0
After losing to Man City during the week, Bournemouth will be playing solely for pride as their slim hopes of European qualification were extinguished.
Pride went out the window for Leicester a long time ago as they will commence a minimum 12 month Premier League absence down in the Championship on the full time whistle.
The Foxes have been in semi-decent form of late now they have nothing left to play for though, defeating the other two relegated sides as well as a draw at Forest.
Goals have been at a premium for both of these clubs and we could see this one played at a training session pace.
Which makes the price on the over seem awfully optimistic.
Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.50
Fulham vs Manchester City
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Craven Cottage
Fulham 0 – Manchester City 2
Wouldn’t it be fitting for Fulham to cap their most successful Premier League campaign by throwing a wrench in City’s Champions League ambitions.
Although thanks to their superior goal difference, a draw will almost certainly be enough for City as it would prevent Forest from catching them and require Newcastle to win by five, Chelsea by seven and Villa by 18 to knock them out.
While it would be amusing to see City get overtaken by dropping points at Craven Cottage, it’s not something I’d be willing to back.
Especially after City managed to win five of their last six Premier League matches and their only loss in all competitions since April coming in the FA Cup Final
Manchester City to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ $2.05
Ipswich vs West Ham
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Portman Road
This is one of those matches where chaos appears set to reign supreme with Ipswich hoping to end a miserable campaign on a high note.
Against most opponents that may be an optimistic belief but West Ham are not exactly covering themselves in glory lately.
The Irons’ only win in the last month has been over Manchester United, which was also their only clean sheet across March, April and May.
Ipswich’s defensive record is even worse, with their last clean sheet coming against Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup Third Round on January 13.
Someone is going to score in this game and the over looks like the best bet here.
Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.20
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Anfield
Liverpool 1 – Crystal Palace 1
On the final day of the Premier League season there is always one chaotic game and it has involved Liverpool more often than not over the last few seasons.
It will be party time at Anfield with the Reds set to hoist the Premier League trophy at full time having been crowned champions a month ago.
That celebratory atmosphere will extend to the other side of the stadium with Palace in party mode after their FA Cup triumph last weekend.
Not that it stopped the Eagles taking care of business against Wolves during the week and this has all the makings of a 4-3, 5-4 or even 6-5 match that dominates the Goal Rush broadcast.
Over 5.5 Goals @ $4.50
Manchester United vs Aston Villa
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 2 – Aston Villa 0
A season from hell surely cannot get any worse for Manchester United after their Europa League Final humiliation at the hands of Spurs.
Now they have to dust themselves off for one last Premier League outing against a Villa side that needs to win to keep its Champions League hopes alive.
With the very different motivation levels, this one could get very ugly once Villa gets going.
Aston Villa to Win -1 Goal @ $2.75
Newcastle vs Everton
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, St James’ Park
This match only matters to Newcastle who will lock up a Champions League spot with a win here.
Everton had their season finale last week as they bid farewell to Goodison Park and this just feels like it is superfluous.
Especially since that win combined with other results means that they will finish the day in 13th spot regardless of if they win, lose or draw here.
I’m expecting Newcastle to take an early lead and fly away from the Toffees with ease.
Newcastle HT/FT Double @ $1.95
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, The City Ground
Nottingham Forest 0 – Chelsea 1
Even though both sides are assured of European football next season, the one prize they really want is a place in the lucrative Champions League.
There is a scenario where both would miss out with a draw and an Aston Villa win, which is certainly possible given three of the last five matches have ended with a point apiece.
If this match was taking place earlier in the season you would give Forest a real chance of springing the upset, but their form in the run home has been spotty at best.
However Chelsea have not been all that strong on the road, with just 25 points from 18 games away from Stamford Bridge, so they are far from certainties.
There is always one strange outcome on the final day and the draw that helps nobody certainly falls into that category.
Draw @ $3.60
Southampton vs Arsenal
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 1 – Arsenal 2
Barring some sort of miracle defeat, Arsenal will finish in second spot yet again with a last day layup against Southampton.
They have plenty of experience with these last day dead rubbers and to their credit, they tend to win them more often than not.
While last season they went into the final day with a chance of stealing the title from Manchester City, they have won most of these matches in convincing fashion when they had nothing to gain under Mikel Arteta.
Two years ago, they belted Wolves 5-0 on the final day with nothing on the line, the year before it was 5-1 over Everton and in 2021 it was 2-0 over Brighton.
In fact, it has been over a decade since the Gunners lost on the final day of the season and taking on a relegated side that has not scored in their last three outings suggests this one is heading in one direction.

Tottenham vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Tottenham Stadium
It’s an old cliché in sports that certain teams play their final at different times but it is very true for Tottenham this week.
They not only played, but won their final in Bilbao on Thursday morning and it’s fair to wonder how motivated they will be for this clash with Brighton.
While the fan base will no doubt be jubilant at the prospect of winning any sort of European trophy, it does not erase the fact their Premier League campaign has been abysmal.
Why would it change now?
Brighton to Win @ $1.72
Wolves vs Brentford
Monday 26 May, 1:00am, Molineux Stadium
On their day, both of these clubs can score for fun, so expect plenty of goals in this clash.
Wolves were involved in a six-goal affair on the weekend, admittedly conceding four of those six didn’t help their cause but they have topped 50 goals this season.
Brentford have 65 goals for this campaign and are averaging over two goals per game across the last month.
Not to mention their first meeting this season was a 5-3 affair in favour of the Bees.
Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.25
2023/2024
We say it far more often than is necessary, but this year it is especially true, there is nothing like the final day of a football league season when the title is still on the line.
All 20 Premier League teams are in action at 1:00am Monday (AEST) for the final time and there is still a bit to be decided in these fixtures.
Let’s start at the top where Manchester City has to simply beat West Ham and they will be crowned champions for the fourth straight year.
Arsenal will be hoping to take advantage of any slip up by City when they host Everton who cannot be taken lightly with their recent form.
Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United will be battling for possible European placings in their respective matches, with the Blues capping a remarkable late run when they face Bournemouth.
Then in the relegation zone, to put it simply Luton need a miracle and then a little bit more help to avoid the drop, but they are for all intents and purposes going back down to the Championship.
It shapes up to be a dramatic final day once more so read on for our previews and best bets for this weekend’s Premier League action.
Arsenal vs Everton
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Emirates Stadium
If you want to know how much the Premier League has changed since Arsenal last won the league, that Invincibles side took 90 points from their 38 matches.
Meanwhile this current team has 86 points to their name and a win would give them their second highest ever Premier League points tally behind the Invincibles.
Unfortunately, history is very much against Arsenal, with the team leading heading into the final day of the Premier League season, ending the day on top of the ladder as well.
With City expected to make short work of West Ham in their match, it would render this result irrelevant in the title race but the Gunners should finish the season on a high with a comfortable win over the Toffees.
On the final day of the season two years ago, they blasted Everton 5-1 and while a similar scoreline seems a bit optimistic, they should still be able to win by a comfortable margin.
Just for reference as well, if the Gunners are to win the league, this is the bet to place on what needs to happen.

Brentford vs Newcastle
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford 2 – Newcastle 4
In games like this, motivation means everything and Newcastle simply has to win this game, while Brentford can only move from 16th up to 15th.
Even with the Magpies coming off short rest, they will be desperate to at least hold on to seventh place to give themselves a chance of featuring in Europe next season, albeit in the Conference League.
Despite some questionable away form including Thursday’s loss at Old Trafford, I like Newcastle’s chances in this game with much more to play for.
Newcastle to Win @ $2.00
Brighton And Hove Albion vs Manchester United
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Amex Stadium
Brighton 0 – Manchester United 2
Speaking of desperate, we have Manchester United hoping to capitalise on any slip up from Newcastle as they head to the south coast to take on Brighton.
It’s a bit of a surprise to find the Seagulls favoured in the market, especially with both teams coming off matches on Thursday morning but it’s also tough to work out how this is going to play out.
There is every chance that United opts to field a second string side to keep their key players intact for next week’s FA Cup Final against Manchester City.
Not to mention if Newcastle goes up early, then United will be locked into an eighth place finish.
That could open the door for Brighton to finish the season with a flourish and given the defensive woes on both teams, I’m happy to back the overs here and stay away from the result markets.
Over 3.5 Goals @ $1.75
Burnley vs Nottingham Forest
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Turf Moor
Burnley 1 – Nottingham Forest 2
While it is still technically possible for Forest to be relegated, it seems highly unlikely that they will lose by enough goals to Burnley that Luton could win and overturn the massive goal differential gap.
Not to mention, Burnley is not exactly lighting up the scoreboard most eeks, with the team only scoring more than one goal once since the start of April and that was against a historically bad Sheffield United team.
There really is not much to look forward to in this one, Burnley might want to go down to the Championship swinging but they aren’t really good enough to get the job done here.
Sitting on the fence and taking the draw looks to be the way to go in this market.
Draw @ $3.70
Chelsea vs Bournemouth
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea 2 – Bournemouth 1
Putting all punchlines aside, the late season run from Chelsea has actually been quite impressive considering how dysfunctional they looked for most of the season.
That has them up in sixth place and once again destined for European football, with a real chance of overtaking Tottenham if Spurs opt to roll over again.
Defensively the Blues still have some things to work out with just the two clean sheets from their last six, but they should be able to see off a Bournemouth side with little more than pride on the line.
Chelsea to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $2.20
Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 5 – Aston Villa 0
With Champions League next season locked in thanks to Tottenham’s midweek defeat, Aston Villa can head into this one with a sense of relief and joy.
It also means they can play with absolutely no pressure which might leave them vulnerable to Palace who are hoping to end their season on a high note and possibly sneak into the top half of the table.
Not to mention, Palace have been one of the Premier League’s form teams in the run home and will be one to watch heading into next season.
Crystal Palace to Win @ $1.85
Liverpool vs Wolves
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Anfield
Sometimes on the final day of the season, you have to back the storyline and with Liverpool at home to Wolves, bidding farewell to Jurgen Klopp, the party could be on early here.
The German will go down as one of the most popular managers in Merseyside history having delivered every trophy available to Anfield during his nine year run, and the team will be desperate to send him off on a winning note.
Wolves have not exactly been setting the world alight of late either, losing four of their last five, three of which were by multiple goal margins.
And with more than just Klopp potentially leaving Anfield after this match, this one could and probably should get out of hand.
Liverpool to Win -2 Goals @ $2.05
Luton vs Fulham
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Kenilworth Road
Everything about this match screams stay away, but for the sake of finding a tip in every game this season, there will be something to take.
Neither team is playing all that well, which is no surprise when you consider Luton is getting relegated and Fulham is most likely going to finish in 14th place.
Perhaps the Terriers will opt to throw caution to the wind and try to score a half dozen goals to give them an outside shot of Premier League survival, but having seen them give up some big scores at home, that tactic is far more likely to backfire on them.
Just about every season there is a wild match that finishes with seven or eight goals and this could be it as these teams go for broke.
Over 4.5 Goals @ $3.40
Manchester City vs West Ham
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 3 – West Ham 1
Considering City has not lost a Premier League match since December 11 and won their last eight fixtures in the league, you can feel pretty good about their chances against West Ham this weekend.
If that is not enough, consider that the last seven Premier League meetings between these clubs at the Etihad have all ended with City wins.
However there is still the small matter of finding value in the market, with the champions-elect at an unbackable $1.10.
It might not mean much in the grand scheme of things, but West Ham do have a cool £5m on the line if they can play spoiler and help Arsenal win the title, with that sum of money potentially set to come their way as part of the Declan Rice transfer last year.
However when they already took the Gunners for £100m in the initial sale, that is very much a drop in the bucket.
City should be able to win this one comfortably but West Ham have the attacking prowess to capitalise on any nerves from the home team and at least get one past the keeper, which is more than what Tottenham could muster.
Manchester City to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $2.25
Sheffield United vs Tottenham
Monday 20 May, 1:00am, Bramall Lane
Sheffield 0 – Tottenham 3
It is shaping up to be a very miserable ending for Ange Postecoglou’s first Premier League season, with Spurs sauntering to the finish line.
Wednesday’s loss at home to Man City was their fifth in their last six games and after spending the early part of the season being labelled as title contenders, potentially falling as low as sixth is going to be a pretty rough conclusion.
The only thing working in Spurs’ favour here is that while their form is poor, Sheffield’s is horrendous with the Blades locked in to last place on the Premier League table thanks to a historically bad defensive record.
Sheffield United has lost their last six matches, and 27 of 37 so far this season with 101 goals conceded.
Look for Tottenham to at least end the year on a high note by belting the Blades on their way back to the Championship.
Tottenham to Win and Over 3.5 Goals @ $1.95
2022/2023
It’s the final day of an eventful Premier League season, however it is shaping up as a relatively uneventful one in the grand scheme of things.
Manchester City are the champions (again), and they will be joined in the Champions League by Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United.
Aston Villa is in prime position to secure the Conference League place but there is at least some intrigue surrounding the relegation battle.
Two of Everton, Leicester and Leeds will go down to the Championship and whichever one survives will feel incredibly fortunate considering just how poor all three of them have been all season.
The tension will be high at the home grounds of each of those clubs ahead of their final match and we’ve got you covered with our final set of previews and best bets for the 2022/2023 Premier League season.
Arsenal vs Wolves
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Emirates Stadium
If it wasn’t so funny, you might almost feel sorry for the Arsenal fans that allegedly shelled out £28000 for tickets to this match a few months ago when it looked like the Gunners would be celebrating a Premier League title.
Now they have to watch a team locked into second spot and with little to offer in terms of final day excitement outside of the morbid curiosity to see if their collapse has one final act.
It would perfectly sum up their last six weeks which has yielded a grand total of two wins from eight matches.
However working in their favour is that Wolves will be the second least motivated opponent they will face in that run (after Chelsea), with the visitors unlikely to move that much on the final table.
Despite the Gunners being locked into second spot, this match should mean something to them as it would allow them to end the season on a high note after several low points.
Arsenal to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.83
Aston Villa vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Villa Park
Aston Villa 2 – Brighton 1
After Brighton’s point against Manchester City on Thursday morning (AEST), they are locked into sixth spot and can already chalk this season up as a massive success.
Villa has to win to ensure their European spot next season and their motivation will be the difference in this fixture.
They have also won the last three matches between the clubs including a 2-1 win on the South Coast prior to the World Cup break.
Aston Villa to Win @ $1.91
Brentford vs Manchester City
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Brentford Community Stadium
Brentford 1 – Manchester City 0
Brentford technically could pinch the Conference League place if they can win, plus Villa and Spurs both drop points.
Admittedly that seems unlikely, even against a City side that will have one eye on next week’s FA Cup Final against United.
Brentford will be happy to play out a tight match with neither side getting out of second gear and with all of the factors surrounding this one, the unders looks like the way to go.
Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.30
Chelsea vs Newcastle
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Stamford Bridge
As frustrating as it will be for fans of other clubs to admit, Chelsea is going to be a lot better next season than they were in this current one.
But that means the punters have one last opportunity to take on this massively dysfunctional ensemble before Todd Boehly takes a broom to his bloated squad.
Newcastle has not won at Stamford Bridge since May 2012 and they may never have a better chance to break that run of defeats than this weekend.
Take the visitors to complete their ascent to the Premier League’s top four with a comfortable victory.
Newcastle to Win @ $2.55
Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – Nottingham Forest 1
Forest are safe from the drop, Crystal Palace is going to finish 11th or 12th and this is a dead rubber in every sense of the word.
This is another match that is likely to be played at a snails pace with both sides having absolutely nothing to play for beyond pride.
It’s another one that seems destined for a low scoring affair and the unders is the way to go for this pick.
Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.30
Everton vs Bournemouth
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Goodison Park
Everton 1 – Bournemouth 0
In a weekend full of dead rubbers, Everton can end the relegation race with a win over 15th placed Bournemouth.
A draw is potentially not going to be enough for the Toffees if Leicester wins and/or Leeds wins by three or more goals.
Bournemouth have stumbled to the finish line, losing their last three matches and already look to be on holidays.
They should be able to score against an opponent that has not kept a clean sheet in a month but the desperation of playing for their Premier League survival should see Everton get the job done in the end.
Everton to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $3.00
Leeds vs Tottenham
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Elland Road
It sure seems like this will be Leeds’ Premier League swansong after two years in the top flight, they will have to go down swinging.
Having gone eight matches without a win, they probably won’t go down victorious but we should see a few goals at Elland Road.
We have seen at least four goals scored in six of their last ten and Spurs have had no shortage of goals in their fixtures as well.
That over has hit in five of their last seven and they may find a way to play with a bit more freedom considering they have not got a whole lot on the line.
Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.25
Leicester vs West Ham
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, King Power Stadium
Football fans at the King Power Stadium (as well as Elland Road and Goodison Park) will have their multitasking abilities tested as they watch the match in front of them and the results at the other grounds.
The 2016 Premier League champions need a miracle to avoid the drop and quite frankly, it’s not something I’m banking on occurring.
Anything less than a win will drop them to the Championship and unfortunately for them, West Ham have a reason to not roll over.
With a European final to prepare for, the Irons will be eager to keep their momentum going and if things go badly for Leicester at Goodison Park, they may drop their heads.
When they met at this venue in 2022 it was a 2-2 draw and backing the spoils to be shared looks like the way to go.
Draw @ $3.60
Manchester United vs Fulham
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 2 – Fulham 1
With United backing up from their Friday morning engagement with Chelsea, this doesn’t look like it will be the most intense of contests.
There has been no shortage of unders in United’s last few matches with two or fewer goals being scored in more than half of their matches this season.
As for Fulham, it’s going to be entirely possible that they fired their last shots in their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace and will just want to get through this game in one piece.
This has the makings of a low scoring affair and that’s where the value is in this market.
Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.65
Southampton vs Liverpool
Monday 29 May, 1:30am, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 4 – Liverpool 4
Even though this is shaping up as another dead rubber, there is one final day match every season where all hell seems to break loose and this is the one we are going to back that to unfold.
The Saints will bid farewell to the Premier League against the club they have provided so many first team players for over the last decade.
It has been a meek ending to their time in the top flight with five consecutive defeats and they have gone 12 matches without a win.
Liverpool had their winning run brought to a halt by Aston Villa but they should find a way to bounce back here.
The Reds have produced the third best goalscoring record in the Premier League heading into the final day and the Saints have one of the worst defences.
This might be the most entertaining game of the weekend and we’re going to back a very high scoring encounter for the final tip of the season.
Over 4.5 Goals @ $3.10
2021/2022
It’s a dream scenario for Premier League fans in the early hours of Monday morning with everything on the line on the final day of the Premier League season.
Manchester City needs to defeat Aston Villa, coached by former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard or the Reds can steal the title with a win over Wolves.
North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are both in the running for the final Champions League spot with the latter surely hoping that there is no lasagne on the menu the night before the game.
Then at the other end of the table, one of Burnley or Leeds will be sent down to the Championship alongside the already relegated Norwich and Watford.
It promises to be an eventful two hours in England as all 10 Premier League matches kick off simultaneously in a feast of football, it doesn’t get better than this.
We’re looking to end the season on a profitable note with our Premier League best bets below so read on and see who we are backing.
Arsenal vs Everton
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Emirates Stadium
Everton was the biggest beneficiary of their victory over Crystal Palace to secure Premier League safety, however the second biggest winner from that result was Arsenal.
While it’s admittedly unlikely that the Gunners will receive the help they need from Norwich, the fact Everton has nothing to play for in this fixture at least makes maintaining their end of the bargain a bit easier.
Put yourself in the position of an Everton player, you’ve put everything into a Thursday night game to get the result you need and all you can get from this trip to London is an ego boost.
Not that an Arsenal win will matter if they can’t have Norwich upset Tottenham as well but I’ll back the Gunners to get the three points they need.
Back Arsenal to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.95
Brentford vs Leeds
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Brentford Community Stadium
It’s shaping up to be a sad ending to Leeds’ second season back in the Premier League, needing to better Burnley’s result to secure an unlikely survival.
Perhaps the only reason for hope is the fact they drew with Brentford in early December and Burnley is taking on a Newcastle side that is going to give them a real workout.
As for this match, a draw might be the best Leeds can hope for having taken just two points from their last five matches.
Desperation does funny things to teams and a draw might just be enough for them to stay up, but I can’t back Leeds to come away with the win.
Back the Draw @ $3.50
Brighton And Hove Albion vs West Ham
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Amex Stadium
Here we encounter our first instance of a dead rubber with West Ham travelling to Brighton to finish off the season.
The hosts can still move around the Premier League ladder depending on this result but it won’t mean much other than in terms of pride.
West Ham on the other hand have European football confirmed for next season and could potentially leapfrog Manchester United into a Europa League spot if they can better their result.
However Brighton have been in impressive form lately, unbeaten in their last four and showcasing the stubbornness that has shocked both opponents and punters alike.
Best case scenario both clubs decide to go for it here and we have an end to end battle, but this has the makings of a dour draw.
Back the Draw @ $3.40
Burnley vs Newcastle
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Turf Moor
It’s a simple equation on the surface for Burnley, win and they will be playing Premier League football next season.
Slightly complicating the matter is the opponent who have been one of the toughest teams in 2022.
Even before their cash injection, Newcastle had won the last three league meetings between the sides and their squad is much stronger after their January reinforcements including former Burnley striker Chris Wood.
With the likes of Bruno Guimaraes controlling the midfield and difference makers up front, it’s tough to see how Newcastle drops this match.
While Burnley has been made favourites likely because they are the more desperate side, Newcastle is well over at their current price and I’ll take them as a value option.
Back Newcastle to Win @ $3.25
Chelsea vs Watford
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Stamford Bridge
This is one of those fixtures we can pretend doesn’t really exist outside of helping out fantasy teams and whatnot.
Chelsea should take care of business and do it very easily.
If they get on a roll, the rout could be on.
Back Chelsea to Win and Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.38
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – Manchester United 0
Manchester United can warm up for next season in the Europa League against a Palace side on very short rest.
With both clubs likely only fielding obligatory lineups considering the hosts are on a short turnaround and United just want the current campaign to end, this may amount to little more than a training run.
If it meant something we might see some goals but a dour draw seems very likely, perhaps an accidental winner might sneak over the line.
Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.10
Leicester vs Southampton
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, King Power Stadium
This is the second of two fixtures with absolutely nothing on the line, so we can only hope for a little bit of chaos to unfold.
Leicester’s free scoring ways were halted a bit in their draw with Chelsea but they will surely want to end the season on a high note, ideally by blitzing a Southampton side that is more than capable of scoring plenty on their day.
Those days have been few and far between of late though, with the Saints taking just five points from their last 11 Premier League matches.
Back Leicester to Win and Over 2.5 Goals @ $2.50
Liverpool vs Wolves
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Anfield
What could have been a routine final day on Merseyside all of a sudden has taken on new meaning with Liverpool now a chance of pinching the Premier League title off Manchester City.
All that they can control is what unfolds at Anfield against a Wolves team already guaranteed a top half finish and hope that City slips up.
Considering they will also be preparing for the Champions League Final the following weekend, don’t be surprised if Jurgen Klopp opts to deploy a relatively full strength side, however the injury clouds over Mo Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Fabinho mean the rest of the team will have to step up.
Those players stepped up during the week in a testament to the depth that Klopp has accumulated and it’s why they are at such short odds to get the job done.
There is no question that the message for the Reds will be win this game and hope for the best and that is what I’ll back them to do.

Manchester City vs Aston Villa
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 3 – Aston Villa 2
With all due respect to Aston Villa, the outcome of this game will come down to how well City responds to their shock draw against West Ham on Sunday night.
Had they completed their comeback, all they would have needed here was a draw to secure another Premier League title.
Not that Pep Guardiola is the sort of manager that would settle for a draw in any instance, especially on the back of a disappointing result.
We saw a similar scenario unfold on the final day of the 2018-2019 Premier League season where City needed a win to claim the title and after a very nervous 60 seconds where they trailed Brighton they went on and left the viewers in no doubt, winning 4-1.
If they get off to a fast start it’s tough to see Villa offering a whole lot of resistance here and City will no doubt want to have a part in front of their fans.
Back Manchester City to Win and Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.35
Norwich vs Tottenham
Monday 23 May, 1:00am, Carrow Road
Of all of the races on the final day, this looks like the most foregone conclusion, even a draw away to relegated Norwich would see Tottenham return to the Champions League.
However up until the last few years, days like these are why the phrase “full Spurs” was invented with many infamous collapses as they tried to establish themselves among the Premier League’s elite.
If they were playing against an opponent that had looked even the least bit competent this season then I might be able to make a case for pure and unadulterated chaos but even if Spurs show up with food poisoning (again) they should still be able to dispatch a side playing their last Premier League fixture until August 2023 at the earliest.
It’s just a case of Tottenham by however much you feel confident backing them by.

2020/2021
The final day of the English Premier League season always delivers drama as the final 10 fixtures are played simultaneously.
In 2021, the title race is decided and we know who will be getting relegated, but that just allows all of the focus to be on the dramatic battle for European places.
Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester are battling for two Champions League berths next season with the odd side out qualifying for the Europa League.
West Ham is the odds on favourite to round out the top six and holds a three point advantage on Tottenham and Everton.
Read on for our final preview of the 2020/2021 Premier League season below.
Arsenal vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Emirates Stadium
Arsenal will wrap up its worst season in over two decades by hosting Brighton at the Emirates Stadium.
While admittedly unlikely, they can still secure a berth in the new third tier Europa Conference League by bettering the results of Tottenham and Everton thanks to four straight Premier League wins.
Brighton certainly enjoyed their home finale, stunning Manchester City in a 3-2 victory.
While neither of these sides will be overly happy with where they have finished the season, they certainly will be looking towards ending their campaign on a high note.
Neither side has offered a whole lot of defensive solidarity in recent matches and Both Teams to Score has hit in four of the last five head to head contests.
The Gunners won the last match in Brighton and I’ll back them in a SGM to sweep the Seagulls.
SGM: Arsenal to Win & Both Teams to Score @ $3.45
Aston Villa vs Chelsea
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Villa Park
Aston Villa 2 – Chelsea 1
Villa is one of just four teams that is locked into its final position heading into the final day while Chelsea can lock up Champions League football with a win.
It’s no surprise then that with this match only having meaning for one side that I’ll be backing that team to come away with a victory.
The Blues may have conceded in their last four matches, including the FA Cup Final, but their rise under Thomas Tuchel has been on the back of a resolute defence.
I’ll back them to get things back on track with a clean sheet victory ahead of the Champions League Final.
Back Chelsea to Win to Nil @ $2.60
Fulham vs Newcastle
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Craven Cottage
Fulham will exit the Premier League with a whimper having taken just two points from their last nine matches.
It does not seem overly likely that they will add to that tally with Newcastle representing an excellent value play here.
Despite careful examination of the stats, form lines and players, it just does not make sense for the hosts to be favourites here.
The Cottagers last three losses have all been by two goals so I’ll go for the massive value of Newcastle to win by at least two goals.
Back Newcastle to Win -1 Goal @ $7.00
Leeds vs West Bromwich Albion
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Elland Road
Leeds continued its remarkable run with another convincing victory during the week, this time over Southampton.
It was their third win in a row, which guaranteed a top half finish in their return to the Premier League.
As for West Brom, I’ve been backing against them for most of the season, so why turn down one last opportunity to do it before they head back to the Championship?
Back Leeds to Win -1 Goal @ $2.20
Leicester vs Tottenham
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, King Power Stadium
Leicester 2 – Tottenham 4
It would not be the final day of the Premier League season without Tottenham having something riding on the outcome of their match.
Unfortunately for them, Leicester has much more to gain (and lose) from this fixture so the FA Cup champions will not want to do them any favours.
With Spurs coming off a rough home defeat at the hands of Aston Villa and star striker Harry Kane seemingly on the way out, this has all the makings of a bad spot for the London club.
Leicester handled them 2-0 just before Christmas and another big win for the home side to keep their Champions League hopes alive seems like the most obvious outcome.
Back Leicester to Win -1 Goal @ $3.70
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Anfield
Liverpool 2 – Crystal Palace 0
Unfortunately for the punters, there is not a lot of value to be found in this market if you like Liverpool to win.
The Reds are $1.16 favourites, having won their last four matches and now just need to win to finish in the top four once again.
Perhaps Crystal Palace will have one final twist in store, handing Liverpool a seventh home defeat of the season but I can’t bring myself to back them, even at $17.00 head to head.
One of the high points of Liverpool’s season was a 7-0 demolition of Palace in December and while that scoreline likely will not be replicated, I am expecting a comfortable win.
SGM: Liverpool HT/FT & Mo Salah First Goalscorer @ $5.02
Manchester City vs Everton
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 5 – Everton 0
Despite having already been crowned as champions, Pep Guardiola will not be impressed with how his side has gone in their last three fixtures.
A loss to Chelsea was followed by a fortunate escape against Newcastle before blowing a 2-0 lead and losing to Brighton.
In what will be their final hitout before the Champions League Final, you would expect an improved effort in this match.
Considering Everton’s struggles in front of goal, this is the perfect opportunity for the City backline to get some confidence.
The Toffees have scored just 10 goals over their last 14 matches and only managed two goals in a fixture just once in that run.
City took the FA Cup match between these sides 2-0 in late March and will be hell bent on another clean sheet.
Back Manchester City to Win to Nil @ $2.50
Sheffield United vs Burnley
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Bramall Lane
Sheffield United 1 – Burnley 0
Since having their safety confirmed, Burnley have gone off the deep end, losing their last two matches by a combined score of 7-0 against Leeds and Liverpool.
Sheffield on the other hand will cap one of the least memorable Premier League seasons in recent memory, scoring just 19 goals to date.
When Burnley wants to play, they can beat up on bad teams and Sheffield United is the definition of a bad team.
With one last opportunity to back against the Blades before they drop to the Championship, I could not turn it down.
Back Burnley to Win @ $2.40
West Ham vs Southampton
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, London Stadium
West Ham 3 – Southampton 0
West Ham appears destined to play European football for the first time in five seasons, with a draw enough to secure sixth place and passage to the Europa League Group Stage.
They will want to end their most successful season since the 1998-1999 campaign on a high note and defeat a Southampton side that was at one point leading the competition.
Neither side has been overly stout defensively and both teams should be able to score.
I’ll take a same game multi here backing the Irons to win their season finale.
SGM: Back West Ham to Win & Both Teams to Score @ $3.17
Wolves vs Manchester United
Monday 24 May, 1:00am, Molineux Stadium
Wolves 1 – Manchester United 2
Even with all of the likely final day excitement, I’m not expecting a whole lot from this fixture.
United will have one eye on the Europa League Final while Wolves will just be happy to see the season come to an end.
Goals have been few and far between when these two meet and even with United’s makeshift backline I can’t see Wolves causing too much drama.
There’s value to be had backing a defensive fixture where both sides just want to get through it in one piece.
Back Under 1.5 Goals @ $3.40
2019/2020
The final day of the English Premier League season is always something a little bit special with all ten matches kicking off simultaneously.
When it comes to 38th game drama, nothing will top Sergio Aguero in 2012 winning the title with essentially the last kick of the match.
On top of that the race for Europe unfolded between both North London clubs and the relegation battle was also decided over those two hours.
Even with the title already awarded to Liverpool, this season still offers plenty of drama with some clubs still having everything to play for.
Manchester United, Leicester and Chelsea are competing for the final two spots in the Champions League next season while only one of Aston Villa, Watford and Bournemouth will survive the drop to the Championship.
With varying levels of motivation across the division this is a tough round for punters but we’re confident in our picks for this weekend.
Arsenal vs Watford
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, Emirates Stadium
In a vacuum you would back Arsenal to win this match but you have every reason to be a bit cautious after the loss to Aston Villa.
Watford will have just as much, if not more motivation than Villa, knowing they need a win to have any hope of survival.
With the Gunners probably keeping a little bit of their powder dry ahead of the FA Cup Final and no hope of reaching Europe, this could be a match where the fringe first team players get a run.
The value in this market is on Watford picking up a win and giving themselves some hope.
Back Watford to Win @ $3.60
Burnley vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, Turf Moon
This is going to be one of the matches you don’t need to give a second thought to, Burnley will be happy with a top ten finish while Brighton will just be glad to finish above the bottom three.
Neither side has a great deal of scoring prowess, with Burnley only scoring more than one goal once in its last ten fixtures while Brighton have done it once in their last 12.
We’ll back a low scoring contest here that doesn’t have a whole lot of intensity to it.
Back Under 1.5 Goals @ $3.40
Chelsea vs Wolverhampton
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, Stamford Bridge
With their two rivals for a Champions League spot facing each other, a spot in Europe’s premiere club competition is on a silver platter this weekend.
Like Arsenal, the Blues will have to consider next weekend’s FA Cup Final but unlike their London rivals, they have a huge prize on offer should they finish in third or fourth place.
With that in mind, expect Frank Lampard to go all out here as the Champions League is probably more important than the FA Cup.
Wolves need to win to avoid falling to seventh but they don’t appear to have the firepower to keep up with Chelsea if they need to play catch up.
Bottom line here, Chelsea need the win more so back them.
Back Chelsea to Win @ $1.83
Crystal Palace vs Tottenham
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – Tottenham 1
There’s no need to make this pick any more complicated than it needs to be, Palace continues their pathetic run as they may be the worst football team in the world at the moment.
After resuming with a win over Bournemouth, Palace have lost their last seven matches including to lowly Aston Villa.
While their run has including some tough opponents, the fact they have not even scored a goal in six of those seven matches shows just how incompetent they have been in the last month.
Spurs would like to end what has been a rough season on some sort of high note and they have the perfect chance to do just that here.
Back Tottenham to Win to Nil @ $2.60
Everton vs Bournemouth
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, Goodison Park
Everton 1 – Bournemouth 3
There’s still hope for Bournemouth to play in the Premier League next season, albeit quite slim.
To avoid the drop they need to first and foremost defeat Everton in this match and hope that both Aston Villa and Watford lose.
Last week’s loss to Southampton might have sealed their fate but they at least head into this match with something to play for.
Traditionally the final day of the Premier League is built on miracle escapes like what the Cherries are hoping to conjure but it might be hoping for a bit much, especially if it looks like Villa and/or Watford are heading for at least a point in their respective matches.
There’s a good case to stay out of this one but there’s value to be had on an Everton victory.
Back Everton to Win @ $2.20
Leicester vs Manchester United
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, King Power Stadium
Leicester 0 – Manchester United 2
This time last month, Leicester looked destined for an easy path to the Champions League.
However just nine points from eight Premier League matches leaves them in an all or nothing proposition against Manchester United.
They need to win to overtake the currently third placed United and assure themselves of Champions League football although a draw and a Chelsea loss will also be enough to get them there.
Over the last four seasons United has been a real nightmare prospect for them however, losing six of the seven Premier League matches between the two sides.
If there was ever a time to break that drought however it’s this weekend as United has well and truly crashed in the last week.
The prospect of Jamie Vardy running rings around Harry McGuire is enough to swing me to Leicester here.
Back Leicester to Win @ $3.20
Manchester City vs Norwich
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 5 – Norwich 0
This is City’s last chance for a tune up before the intensity goes up a notch in the conclusion of the UEFA Champions League.
When they play next they will be defending a 2-1 lead against Real Madrid and Norwich will provide a perfect training intensity match.
All of this is padding to say that there isn’t a lot of value to be had in this market so don’t force a play on this one.
NO BET
Newcastle vs Liverpool
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, St James’ Park
Newcastle 1 – Liverpool 3
Speaking of a lack of intensity, Liverpool will have spent time between this and their previous match partying after raising the Premier League trophy.
Chances are they will be a bit off the pace but so will Newcastle as they are all but officially locked into 13th place.
Liverpool should win this match but we’ve seen them fail to turn up a couple of times this season.
Instead back a match that barely escapes a walking pace.
Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.45
Southampton vs Sheffield United
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 3 – Sheffield United 1
You have to give credit to Southampton, their late season rally has been enough to get them out of a possible relegation battle and comfortably safe.
Sheffield has struggled mightily on the road taking just two points away from home since the Premier League restarted.
A win would secure eighth spot while a loss could send them as low as tenth.
Neither side will be looking to drop points and that should lead to a cagey draw.
Back the Draw @ $3.40
West Ham vs Aston Villa
Monday 27 July, 1:00am, London Stadium
West Ham 1 – Aston Villa 1
Until West Ham nabbed a point from Manchester United, this match was billed as a potential battle for survival.
Villa will be looking to complete their own survival story, moving up to 17th on goal difference after a 1-0 win over Arsenal midweek.
It is a case of finding form at the right time having spent 17 weeks in the relegation zone including the last nine before the conclusion of Matchweek 37.
There’s a few different ways they could go down even with a win here and with West Ham already accomplishing their mission to survive, they may be below par in this match.
Villa goes into this as the more desperate side and that’s why we’ll back them to win.
Back Aston Villa to Win @ $2.20
2018/2019
For the first time since May 2014, the Premier League title will be decided on the final day of the season.
Much like five years ago, City holds the advantage over Liverpool and know that if they manage to beat Brighton, they will be the first team to defend their title in a decade.
Liverpool spent most of the season looking like it was their title to lose but now need to beat Wolves at home and home that City drops points.
Elsewhere the relegation battle is decided so all that remains for Fulham, Huddersfield and Cardiff is to try and end their respective tenures on a high note.
The top four race is also set, barring a Spurs collapse of epic proportions and Arsenal defying their recent history and playing well away from home.
With just ten games remaining in this season, there’s one last chance to enjoy a profitable weekend on the Premier League.
Brighton And Hove Albion vs Manchester City
Monday 13 May, 12:00am, Amex Stadium
Brighton 1 – Manchester City 4
There’s not much to overthink about this game, City can’t take it easy on Brighton, they need to win to secure the Premier League title.
Brighton are pretty much locked in to 17th place and haven’t got much to play for.
They did play spoiler for Arsenal’s top four hopes last week snatching a 1-1 draw at the Emirates so there’s a chance they give City a real scare here.
Pep Guardiola has his side too well drilled to let this opportunity slip and there is every chance they win the title with a huge win here.
Brighton have given up an average of over 1.5 goals per game and City have averaged just under 2.5 goals per game so I’ll back in a high scoring game.

Burnley vs Arsenal
Monday 13 May, 12:00am, Turf Moor
There’s not a lot of hope for Arsenal fans on the final day of the season, thanks to their draw at home to Brighton they are almost no chance of making the top four.
Now they are left to rely on their away form which has been poor at best over the past few seasons and hope Tottenham have a major collapse in their game.
On top of that they are backing up from a Europa League semi final in Spain so there could be a few fringe players.
Even the most ardent Gunners fans would have a hard time being optimistic about their chances here and with Burnley at that price it’s worth backing them in for an upset.

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
Monday 13 May, 12:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 5 – Bournemouth 3
This is another game that could see quite a few goals in it… if it meant anything other than deciding who finishes on top in this head to head battle.
One point is between them on the table and both are bringing pretty similar form to the final round of the Premier League season.
If you want to talk yourself into a play for this game then there’s value to be had but with too many variables in play it’s a stay away for me.
NO BETS
Fulham vs Newcastle
Monday 13 May, 12:00am, Craven Cottage
So long Fulham, it was (kind of) fun while it lasted.
The Premier League’s worst defence bids farewell to the competition but it has found some form as of late.
At one point it looked like they’d be setting the wrong sort of records but have conceded just once in their last four.
Newcastle gave everything they had against Liverpool but ultimately fell short however the Both Teams to Score market has hit in each of their last three.
With that in mind, I’m expecting a few goals in this game and a winner so I’ll back the total market straight up and throw the winner into a Same Game Multi.

Monday 13 May, 12:00am, King Power Stadium
Chelsea is locked into a Champions League spot, but still needs to finish ahead of Tottenham in order to avoid the qualifying rounds.
Leicester is locked into a top ten spot and is simply playing for pride.
There’s a real dilemma for Chelsea though, they need to manage their squad after their Europa League semi final just like Arsenal, and appear primed for an upset.
This has more to do with value than anything else, but why not take a flyer on Leicester here, stranger things have happened on the final day.

If you’re in the Champions League final, do you really need to worry about that little matter of the Premier League?
That sort of justification will be flying around Anfield on Sunday as Liverpool needs a miracle of similar proportions to the one they pulled off during the week against Barcelona.
Unfortunately it’s not all in their hands but there’s nothing stopping them taking care of what is in their control when they take on a Wolves side locked into seventh spot.
They have done very well against the big sides this season and should be able to put a scare into Liverpool but I’ll back the Reds to get the job done in the end.

Monday 13 May, 12:00am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 0 – Cardiff 2
The best case scenario for United this weekend is for them to snap a four game winless run in the Premier League and leapfrog Arsenal into fifth place.
It might just give them the buffer of avoiding the Europa League qualifiers during their preseason.
Three straight losses sees Cardiff bidding farewell to the Premier League 12 months after going up and perhaps Neil Warnock might bring out something special for this game.
Were United playing a side with anything on the line I would consider backing that opponent but not Cardiff, they’re going down for a reason.
There’s not a whole lot of value on offer for any likely outcome here so I’ll declare this as a stay away.
NO BETS
Southampton vs Huddersfield Town
Monday 13 May, 12:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 1 – Huddersfield 1
You could forgive the Huddersfield players for having their suitcases waiting outside the dressing room to go on holiday about 90 seconds after the full time whistle.
It’s been nothing short of a dreadful season for the Terriers and the sooner they can move on the better.
In all fairness it’s only been marginally better for Southampton, but at least they have been able to survive another year.
Neither side has been overly stout defensively so I like the potential of the Both Teams to Score market for starters.
Add in the usual “bet against Huddersfield” rule and that gives you a decent value play for this game.

As difficult as it will be for Liverpool to back up from their Champions League euphoria, it will be worse for Tottenham.
With 24 hours less rest, plus the travel back to London and a tough opponent, this has the makings of an upset.
Not that it will matter too much since they will be every chance of still finishing fourth even with a loss as long as Arsenal don’t beat Burnley and turn around an eight goal difference all in one afternoon.
With their focus on Madrid next month, I think we might see a below par Spurs performance and Everton would love to end their season on a high note.

It’s the FA Cup Finalists in their final clash before the biggest game of their season.
West Ham could leapfrog them on the ladder and have won their last two, but as is always the case with West Ham, you wonder when their bubble will burst.
The Hornets picked up the win back in December and I don’t have a lot of faith in West Ham away from home so I’ll follow those numbers and back a perfect warm up for next weekend.

One of the best days in all of sport is the final day of the English Premier League season, as all 20 teams take to the pitch and kick off simultaneously.
For some, such as Manchester City and Burnley, this is the conclusion of a memorable season.
For Arsenal it is a sad goodbye as Arsene Wenger farewells the club he has been at for 22 years.
West Brom and Stoke enter Sunday’s games knowing it will be their last Premier League action until August 2019 at the absolute earliest while Swansea are left to rely on a miracle to avoid being relegated themselves.
Read on for our previews and predictions for the final day of the English Premier League season.
Burnley vs Bournemouth
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, Turf Moor
While this game does not exactly have a lot at stake in terms of table position for its hosts, they will be wanting to mark their most successful Premier League season with a win here.
Surprisingly, their home form has not been that good overall, losing six times but where they have been successful, is keeping games tight, with just 15 goals scored and 15 conceded all season.
Bournemouth have picked up just 15 points away from home while scoring 17 goals in their 18 games played so far.
Such is the nature of the Premier League table this season that a win could see Bournemouth go as high as ninth or a loss could send them down to fifteenth.
This has the makings of a low scoring affair with not a lot of adventure as teams just want to get through the final day in one piece.
Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $1.73
Crystal Palace vs West Bromwich Albion
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, Selhurst Park
West Brom’s Premier League farewell takes place at Selhurst Park as they prepare to depart the top flight after eight seasons.
Palace are one of the teams in the quagmire of mid table teams that could finish anywhere from ninth to fifteenth.
They have lost seven games at home this season but have won their last two games at this venue, scoring a grand total of eight goals in those contests.
While not to kick a club when they are down, West Brom have been on fire since they installed caretaker manager Darren Moore but it is too little too late for them.
With their fate confirmed that run West Brom have been on should come to an end here.
Back Crystal Palace to Win @ $1.85
Huddersfield vs Arsenal
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, John Smith’s Stadium
What was initially earmarked as a Survival Sunday for Huddersfield, can now be a celebration after their midweek point at Chelsea secured Premier League football for another season.
Arsenal’s atrocious away record continued with another loss Thursday morning, this time to Leicester.
The Gunners ran riot at the Emirates but they are a totally different side away from home with a grand total of zero points outside of the Emirates Stadium
Backing against Arsenal has been quite a profitable play lately and why mess with a winning formula, even with this being Arsene Wenger’s last official game.
Back Huddersfield to Win @ $5.50
Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, Anfield
Liverpool come into this game as the last Premier League side undefeated at home and they will be very keen to keep that record intact through this game.
Brighton have picked up just 11 points on their travels so far and have scored just 10 goals in those 18 games so they are expected to offer little resistance here.
Expect a raucous Anfield as they prepare to send Liverpool off for the Champions League final on a high note.
Back Liverpool to Win to Nil @ $1.95
Manchester United vs Watford
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, Old Trafford
United have their final warm up ahead of the FA Cup final against a Watford side they have a good record against in the past three seasons.
Four of the five encounters have gone the way of the Red Devils with the most recent late November meeting being won by United 4-2.
Watford ended their winless run with a victory over Newcastle but only one side has anything meaningful to get out of this game.

Newcastle vs Chelsea
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, St James’ Park
Four straight losses for Newcastle have them limping to the finish line and very thankful this match does not have any potential relegation implications.
Chelsea have been one of the stronger teams away from home with 10 wins this season and a relatively solid defensive record.
They can still finish in fourth spot however they do require a Liverpool loss which seems rather unlikely.
Much like Manchester United, this is their final opportunity to prepare for the FA Cup Final so look for Chelsea to come out ready to play.
Back Chelsea to Win @ Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.50
Southampton vs Manchester City
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Despite sitting 20 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, Manchester City will not be taking it easy on Swansea as they look to become the first team to break the 100 point barrier.
They could set a number of records with a win in this game including most away wins, biggest title-winning margin and most away goals just to name a few.
That is not an encouraging sign for a team that is still in danger of being relegated with a goal difference turnaround and we know City are more than capable of piling on the goals if needed.
In terms of the market it looks just about right so I am going to stay out of this game.
NO BET
Swansea vs Stoke
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, Liberty Stadium
Swansea could not have asked for a better opponent in their bid for a miracle turnaround with Southampton potentially in line for a big scoreline.
To overtake the Saints, they need to win, have Southampton lose and have a net goal turnaround of ten.
Admittedly it is a big ask but they are facing a side already relegated and with literally nothing to play for.
Recent meetings have seen a nice mix of results but Swansea should have the edge here and put the pressure right on Southampton.
Back Swansea to Win @ $1.85
Tottenham vs Leicester
Monday 14 May, 12:00am, Wembley
A game that could have had a lot more riding on it had Chelsea beaten Huddersfield, Tottenham are now assured of Champions League football next season.
They do still need a win to qualify directly for the group stage and should take care of business against a Leicester side settled in the top 10.
Tottenham are famous for their end of season collapses however, with plenty of final day defeats giving opponents plenty of fodder.
Not this year however, I have them winning this and making it back to the Champions League.

Another game with very little on the line, West Ham and Everton head into this game with little more than pride on the line.
The Olympic Stadium has not been a happy hunting ground for West Ham this season for the most part with fans venting their frustrations throughout the season.
Everton’s away record is not overly impressive either with just three wins all season.
The last two West Ham home games in between these sides have ended in draws and that is the tip to repeat here.

2016/2017
It is the final round of what has been a typically lengthy English Premier League season.
The title has been decided as has the relegation battle, but there is a potentially intriguing situation emerging in the fight for places in the UEFA Champions League.
Arsenal vs Everton
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Emirates Stadium
This is an interesting game for Arsenal as a win will keep alive their chances of finishing in the top four.
Arsenal made it four wins on the trot with their midweek win over Sunderland and they really have finished the season with a wet sail.
Their form at Emirates Stadium has been strong all season long and they have won 12 of their past 15 games as home favourites for a clear profit.
Everton will finish seventh no matter what their result this weekend and it has been another solid season.
They really don’t have a great deal to play for in this clash and their form away from home has been unconvincing – they have won only one of their past eight games as away underdogs.
Arsenal really should win this game to keep the pressure on Liverpool, but their is no value at their current price and I am happy to stay out of this clash from a betting standpoint.
No Bet
Burnley vs West Ham United
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Turf Moor
There is only two points separating these two teams on the English Premier League ladder and a Burnley win would see them leapfrog West Ham.
Burnley’s form at home has been nothing short of outstanding this season and they will start this clash as clear favourites.
They have not lost a game as home favourites, but two of their four games in this scenario have ended in a draw.
West Ham suffered a poor 4-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last weekend and it has been a fairly inconsistent season for the London-based side.
The Hammers have taken at least a point from eight of their past 16 games as away underdogs and they have never lost to Burnley.
These sides are both very difficult to split and it is the draw at the quote of $3.25 that really does stand out in this fixture.

Chelsea vs Sunderland
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea are the 2016/2017 English Premier League champions and they are dominant favourites to finish their season with a win in front of their home fans.
Chelsea played out a surprisingly entertaining midweek clash with Watford and they were able to improve their record at Stamford Bridge this season to a most impressive 16-2.
Sunderland are resigned to a return to the English Championship and they will finish on the bottom of the English Premier League.
Scoring goals has been a huge issue for the Black Cats in the second half of the season and they have won just three of their past 17 games as away underdogs.
Chelsea should be able to win this game comfortably, but it is tough to find any value in this clash.

Hull City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, The KC Stadium
It has been a season to remember for Tottenham Hotspur and they will enjoy their highest finish in the top flight of English Football since 1963.
It is no surprise that they will start this clash as clear favourites and they really should be able to finish their season with a win.
They have won seven of their past 12 games as away favourites for a profit and they have comfortably won their past three games against Hull City.
Hull City showed plenty of fight in the second half of the season, but they were still unable to overcome the odds and were relegated following their loss to Crystal Palace last weekend.
The Tigers have proven tough to beat in front of their home fans and they have won four of their 11 games as home underdogs this season for a big profit.
In saying that, Tottenham are simply on another level from this side and do represent genuine value to finish the season with a win.

Leicester City vs Bournemouth
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, King Power Stadium
A top ten finish is on the line in this battle between Leicester City and Bournemouth.
They may not have defended their English Premier League title, but a strong second-half to the season has ensured a credible finish for Leicester City and they will start this clash as favourites.
Leicester City have proven tough to beat at King Power Stadium once again this season and they have won eight of their past 12 games as home favourites for a clear profit.
Bournemouth have flown under the radar in recent weeks, but their second half of the season has been nothing short of outstanding and they have won three of their past four games.
Winning away from home has been somewhat of an issue for Bournemouth and they have won only two of their 15 games as away underdogs this season.
Backing Leicester City in front of their home fans has been a winning betting play all season long and there is no reason to jump off this weekend.

Liverpool vs Middlesbrough
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Anfield
Liverpool currently sit in fourth position in the English Premier League and a win over Middlesbrough will ensure that they qualify for the Champions League, while a loss or a draw will give Arsenal the opportunity to leapfrog them.
Liverpool are clear favourites in this clash and they really should be able to secure their top four finish.
They have won 11 of their past 18 games as home favourites for a very small loss and they were far too good for Middlesbrough when these two sides met earlier this season.
Middlesbrough will return to the Championship after a very brief stay in the English Premier League and one of the main reasons for that has been their shocking form away from home.
They have won only one of their 17 games as away underdogs this season and it really is tough to see them taking anything from this clash.
Liverpool should win this clash and win comfortably.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Old Trafford
Manchester United’s recent form in the English Premier League has been very poor and Jose Mourinho has admitted that the Europa League Final is now their major goal.
The Red Devils will still go into this clash as clear favourites, but their record in this position has been poor all season long.
Manchester United have won just six of their past 17 games as home favourites and ten of these games have ended in a draw.
Crystal Palace secured their survival with a victory over Hull City and Sam Allardyce would love nothing more than to finish the year with a victory over Mourinho and Manchester United.
Winning away from home has not been an issue for Crystal Palace this season and they have won six of their past 16 games as away underdogs for a clear profit.
Crystal Palace are more than capable of taking something out of this clash and they can finish the season with an upset win.

Southampton vs Stoke City
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, St Mary's Stadium
It has been an up and down season for Southampton, but a victory over Stoke City will ensure that they finish in the top eight once again.
It is Southampton that will start this clash as favourites, but they have proven to be a tough side to trust from a betting perspective this season.
They have won only six of their past 12 games as home favourites and they have not beaten Stoke at St Mary’s since 2014.
Stoke City have been fairly poor in the second half of the season and they have won only one of their past eight games.
Winning away from home has been a particularly big issue for Stoke City and they have won just one of their past 16 games as away underdogs for a clear loss.
It is tough to get Southampton as short as their current price and the $3.40 on offer for a draw does stand out in this clash.

Swansea City vs West Bromwich Albion
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Liberty Stadium
Swansea City have secured their English Premier League survival and they will go into this clash with West Bromwich Albion as clear favourites.
Swansea have won three of their past four games to remain in the top flight and their form in front of their home fans at Liberty Stadium has been particularly strong – they have won six of their past 11 games as home favourites.
West Bromwich Albion can finish the English Premier League season as high as eighth or as low as 11th – depending on this result and other games.
The Baggies have been an excellent betting side so far this season, but their form has generally come in front of their home fans and they have won only three of their past 16 games as away underdogs.
Swansea City will be keen to send out their home fans with another home win and they are good value to come away with the victory.

Watford vs Manchester City
Monday 23 May, 12:00am, Vicarage Road
Manchester City are guaranteed to finish in the top four and they can secure a top three finish with a victory over Watford.
While they will likely finish in the top three, Manchester City have been a very tough team to trust from a betting perspective all season long and they have been a losing play across just about every metric.
Watford have lost five games on the trot, but they did push Chelsea in a genuine midweek thriller.
The Hornets have won three of their past eight games as home underdogs and they have proven tough to beat in front of their home fans this season.
Watford have very little to play for and it is tough to back them with any real confidence, but they are worth a very small gamble at the current quote of $8.50.
