EPL Week 31 Predictions

—

Everton vs Arsenal – Goodison Park

Everton ($5.50)

Arsenal ($1.80)

Draw ($3.50)

Even the most optimistic of Arsenal fans would probably think that their chances of lifting the Premier League trophy have gone for another year and they have a tricky looking tie on their hands at Everton. David Moyes has the hosts going well and while Liverpool outdid them in midweek, the Toffees are improving week in, week out. Arsenal meanwhile have a Champions League last 8 clash with Real Madrid on the agenda this week and may rotate here as a result. Everton will be up for this and could trouble the Gunners, making the draw a decent prediction.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.50)

1-1 Draw

Ipswich Town vs Wolves – Portman Road

Ipswich Town ($2.80)

Wolves ($2.70)

Draw ($3.40)

The bottom of the Premier League table is continuing to look desperate for Ipswich Town, but they host Wolves here, a side who are – in theory – catchable in their survival bid. A superb win on the road at Bournemouth should give all associated with Ipswich a huge boost but it does feel too little, too late for The Tractor Boys. Wolves meanwhile picked up another great win against West Ham last time out and are a side improving under Vitor Pereira. This could be tight and with not losing key for Wolves, this could be a draw.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.40)

1-1 Draw

Crystal Palace vs Brighton – Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace ($2.50)

Brighton ($3.00)

Draw ($3.60)

Two sides that famously don’t care too much for each other meet here, as Crystal Palace take on Brighton. The Eagles produced a very good result against Fulham in the FA Cup last weekend but had to dig deep to pick up a point against Southampton in midweek. Brighton meanwhile crashed out of the FA Cup on penalties before being well beaten by Aston Villa, meaning confidence shouldn’t be too high in the camp. Palace will be rocking at home here and they could pick up an important home win.

Betting tip: Crystal Palace to win the match ($2.50)

Crystal Palace to win 2-1

West Ham United vs Bournemouth – London Olympic Stadium

West Ham United ($3.10)

Bournemouth ($2.40)

Draw ($3.50)

It has been a tough couple of weeks for West Ham and Graham Potter and things shouldn’t get too much easier here as they take on Bournemouth. A limp loss at Wolves won’t do much for morale at West Ham and they have been way off the pace all season. Bournemouth meanwhile have also endured a couple of sticky results of late, dropping to 10^th in the table as a result but it has been a good season for them on the whole. Neither side is going too well here, bringing the draw very much into play.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.50)

1-1 Draw

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest – Villa Park

Aston Villa ($2.00)

Nottingham Forest ($3.85)

Draw ($3.70)

Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest meet, with both sides looking to strengthen their grip on a place in Europe next season. Villa have a Champions League last 8 tie on the horizon against PSG but for now, the Villains will be eager to show their quality and try and finish as high up the Premier League table as possible. Forest meanwhile sit 3^rd in the table, and they know that a couple of big results could see them over the line in the race to be playing in the Champions League next season. This should be another good game, with the draw perhaps the best prediction.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.70)

1-1 Draw

Newcastle United vs Brentford – St James’s Park

Newcastle United ($1.73)

Brentford ($4.40)

Draw ($4.75)

A carnival atmosphere looks to be on the agenda here in the North East, as Newcastle, fresh off their Carabao Cup triumph, take on Brentford. Toon have a place in the top 4 to play for this season and they know that they need to keep picking up Premier League points. Brentford meanwhile won well at Bournemouth last time out and as ever, are finishing very strongly under Thomas Frank. This will be a good one for the neutral, with Newcastle perhaps best placed to pick up all three points.

Betting tip: Newcastle United to win the match ($1.73)

Newcastle United to win 2-1

Brentford vs Chelsea – Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford ($3.25)

Chelsea ($2.15)

Draw ($3.80)

A West London derby between Brentford and Chelsea promises to deliver plenty of thrills and spills on Sunday and both sides will be bang up for this one. The Bees sit 11^th in the table, having picked up some decent results under Thomas Frank this season and they will be looking to put on a show for their home fans here. Chelsea meanwhile have a top 4 spot in their grasp, but they know that slip ups simply cannot be afforded. This will be a good one, which Chelsea should just about prevail from.

Betting tip: Chelsea to win the match ($2.15)

Chelsea to win 2-1

Tottenham vs Southampton – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham ($1.40)

Southampton ($7.50)

Draw ($5.50)

Tottenham will be looking to ease the pressure on Ange Postecoglou, as they take on Southampton in North London. A difficult defeat to Chelsea has left the Spurs manager under the pump but they remain a side capable of beating anybody on their day. Southampton meanwhile picked up a decent point against Crystal Palace last time out, but they are readying themselves for a return to the Championship, following a tough season. Spurs need a win desperately and they should get one here.

Betting tip: Tottenham to win the match ($1.40)

Tottenham to win 3-1

Fulham vs Liverpool – Craven Cottage

Fulham ($4.50)

Liverpool ($1.90)

Draw ($3.80)

Champions-elect Liverpool will be looking to take another step towards the Premier League title, as they travel to Fulham. The Cottagers have had a tough week, going out of the FA Cup and losing to Arsenal and this won’t be easy for them at all. Liverpool meanwhile remain the side to catch in the Premier League and with just one loss on their card all season, they will be ready to keep their strong record intact. This won’t be easy for Arne Slot’s side, but they should come out on top in this one.

Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($1.90)

Liverpool to win 2-1

Manchester United vs Manchester City – Old Trafford

Manchester United ($3.40)

Manchester City ($2.15)

Draw ($3.70)

The Manchester derby always gets juices flowing and Manchester United and City are set to square off again here at Old Trafford. United have been showing a few glimmers of hope under Ruben Amorim but are yet to fully ignite, with this game having the potential to change that. City have won their last 2 and are also looking a little better but they have really struggled in big games so far this season. The blues could find this one tough going again in Salford and United could come out on top.

Betting tip: Manchester United to win the match ($3.40)

Manchester United to win 3-2

Leicester City vs Newcastle United – King Power Stadium

Leicester City ($6.75)

Newcastle United ($1.50)

Draw ($4.70)

Leicester continue to struggle under Ruud van Nistelrooy and they take on Newcastle in a tough looking game for the Foxes. Finding form has been very hard for the side from the East Midlands this season and a return to the Championship looks to be very much on the cards. Newcastle meanwhile are still buoyant from their Carabao Cup win and a result here would boost their Champions League aspirations. This will be a good one, with Toon ready to pick up three more points.

Betting tip: Newcastle United to win the match ($1.50)

Newcastle United to win 3-0
