EPL Week 36 Predictions

—

Wolves vs Brighton – Molyneux

Wolves ($2.80)

Brighton ($2.50)

Draw ($3.60)

Wolves were very unlucky not to pick up any sort of result against Manchester City last weekend and they will be looking to get back on track here against Brighton. The visiting Seagulls pushed Newcastle all the way last weekend, picking up a point and they have work to do in pursuit of their European football aspirations next season. Both sides will play with freedom in this one, with Premier League survival assured and this could be an entertaining draw at Molyneux.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.60)

2-2 Draw

Ipswich Town vs Brentford – Portman Road

Ipswich Town ($5.50)

Brentford ($1.65)

Draw ($4.50)

Life in the Premier League has been increasingly tough for Ipswich, but they picked up a good point at Goodison Park last weekend against Everton, a result they will be looking to build upon here. The Tractor Boys are already planning for life in the Championship, and they have a young side, capable of bouncing back next season. Brentford meanwhile are in great nick under Thomas Frank, and they look to have their eye on European football next season. Ipswich will give this a go, but Brentford are in very good form, and they should outgun them here at Portman Road.

Betting tip: Brentford to win the match ($1.65)

Brentford to win 3-1

Southampton vs Manchester City – St Mary’s Stadium

Southampton ($14.00)

Manchester City ($1.22)

Draw ($7.50)

Southampton have really struggled to cope with the demands of the Premier League, but they will be looking to improve on their points tally of 11 here, as they take on Manchester City. Saints were undone by Leicester City last weekend and are sliding back into the Championship at a rate of knots. Manchester City meanwhile know that two wins will see them playing Champions League football next season and they will be targeting this one at St Mary’s. This won’t be as one-sided as the odds suggest and City may end up settling for a draw on the south coast.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($7.50)

1-1 Draw

Fulham vs Everton – Craven Cottage

Fulham ($1.95)

Everton ($4.60)

Draw ($3.60)

Fulham and Everton meet here, with very little riding on this one for either side. Fulham have an outside chance of cracking the European places but some poor showings in recent results could prove to be their undoing. Everton meanwhile have hit a bit of a wall under David Moyes and their 2-2 draw with Ipswich last weekend was representative of that. Calling this one is tough, with rotation expected in both sides but perhaps home advantage and a superior attacking line up could prove to be the difference for Fulham.

Betting tip: Fulham to win the match ($1.95)

Fulham to win 2-1

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa – Vitality Stadium

Bournemouth ($2.50)

Aston Villa ($2.75)

Draw ($3.75)

Bournemouth and Aston Villa lock horns down on the south coast, in what is an important game for both sides. The Cherries have been in excellent nick all season and they will be looking to keep pushing on with their top 7 aspirations and book their place in Europe next season. Aston Villa meanwhile are relying on a few results to go their way in order to finish in the top 5 this term but Unai Emery’s men won’t be giving hope just yet. These are two quality sides battling it out at the Vitality and this one could end up as an entertaining draw.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)

1-1 Draw

Newcastle United vs Chelsea – St James’s Park

Newcastle United ($2.20)

Chelsea ($3.25)

Draw ($3.80)

Newcastle and Chelsea meet here in the North East, in what feels like a huge game in the race to be playing Champions League football next season. Toon have enjoyed a fantastic campaign but are limping over the line a touch, with three tough games to end their season. Chelsea are trending in the opposite direction, with one foot in the Europa Conference League final and they have their top 5 destiny in their own hands. This should be a big one for both sides and it feels like they may both settle for a draw.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.80)

1-1 Draw

Nottingham Forest vs Leicester City – City Ground

Nottingham Forest ($1.37)

Leicester City ($9.50)

Draw ($5.60)

Nottingham Forest have been in fantastic form all season but a recent blip has given them work to do in order to finish inside the top 5. Forest have three games to be plying their trade in the Champions League next season, but they are now relying on other results to go their way. Leicester meanwhile are consigned to another season in the Championship, following a difficult year under Ruud van Nistelrooy but how they would love to spoil the party here. Forest do look a touch low on confidence, but they should manage to come out on top in this one at home.

Betting tip: Nottingham Forest to win the match ($1.37)

Nottingham Forest to win 2-1

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham ($2.55)

Crystal Palace ($2.70)

Draw ($3.70)

Two sides with ostensibly nothing to play for meet here, as Tottenham and Crystal Palace line up in North London. Spurs have one foot in the Europa League final and will be doing all they can to keep their squad fit and fresh of that one later in the month. The same could be said for Crystal Palace, who have the FA Cup final on the agenda next weekend and both teams could shuffle the pack heavily for this one. There is very little to split these two sides, especially with rotation expected in both squads and this could be an entertaining draw.

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

1-1 Draw

Manchester United vs West Ham United – Old Trafford

Manchester United ($2.00)

West Ham United ($3.75)

Draw ($3.85)

Two sides that have endured poor Premier League seasons meet here, as Manchester United take on West Ham United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have all eyes on the Europa League, but they know that they have been well below par in the league this term. West Ham meanwhile sit 17^th in the table and have struggled immensely all season, with no notable change since Graham Potter arrived. This could be any score line but perhaps the draw looks most likely.

Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)

1-1 Draw

Liverpool vs Arsenal – Anfield

Liverpool ($2.20)

Arsenal ($3.50)

Draw ($3.50)

Champions Liverpool take on their nearest challengers Arsenal, in what should be a fascinating dead rubber at Anfield. Liverpool remain in party mode and are enjoying all the festivities that come with winning a Premier League title. Meanwhile, Arsenal are fighting on in the Champions League but need to pick up the final points to secure second place in the Premier League. This one will have an exhibition feel to it, which should suit Liverpool’s fresher legs and more potent attacking prowess.

Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($2.20)

Liverpool to win 2-1
