EPL Week 36 Expert Tips & Predictions

There is plenty to play for once again in the Premier League this weekend, as the pressure begins to ramp up at both ends of the table.

Arsenal still hold the advantage in the title race but any sort of slip up would see Manchester City reinvigorated once again.

Down at the bottom, Tottenham are beginning to make their moves under Roberto de Zerbi, with West Ham and Nottingham Forest looking the most in danger but nothing is finalised yet.

European places are still up for grabs for the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford and every one of the 20 sides in the league has plenty of financial rewards to battle for.

It is the business end of the campaign and here are our top Premier League tips for game week 36:

Liverpool vs Chelsea @ Anfield

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $4.00

BET NOW

Liverpool ($1.95)

Chelsea ($3.80)

Draw ($4.00)

It has been a very tough campaign for both Liverpool and Chelsea and the two lock horns here, chasing points in their scrap to finish inside the top five. The reds have huffed and puffed in defence of their title but have been underwhelming and their loss to Manchester United last time out is sure to hurt. Chelsea meanwhile are meandering towards the end of the season in the Premier League, but they do have a FA Cup final to look forward to against Manchester City next week. This may not be a classic and both sides may end up settling for a point.

1-1 Draw

Fulham vs Bournemouth @ Craven Cottage

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $3.70

BET NOW

Fulham ($2.70)

Bournemouth ($2.45)

Draw ($3.70)

Fulham and Bournemouth have both enjoyed very solid campaigns and they meet here, looking to end their respective seasons on highs. The Cottagers were no match for Arsenal last weekend, but their home form has been very different to their away showings, and they will be desperate to dig in for their supporters here. Bournemouth meanwhile have moved up into sixth place and are in the midst of a lengthy unbeaten run. Both sides will look to attack from the off here in West London and whilst Bournemouth perhaps have more to play for, Fulham should have enough about them to earn a point.

2-2 Draw

Sunderland vs Manchester United @ Stadium Of Light

Betting Tip: Manchester United to win the match @ $1.85

BET NOW

Sunderland ($4.10)

Manchester United ($1.85)

Draw ($3.80)

Two teams who have enjoyed excellent seasons meet here, as Sunderland host Manchester United. The Black Cats secured their Premier League status weeks ago and while performances have tailed off since, they remain a force to be reckoned with, especially at home. Manchester United meanwhile have secured Champions League football already for next season and are purring under interim boss Michael Carrick. There isn’t a huge amount riding on this, something that should suit United and they could pick up a good win on their travels here.

Brighton vs Wolves @ AMEX Stadium

Betting Tip: Brighton to win the match @ $1.30

BET NOW

Brighton ($1.30)

Wolves ($9.50)

Draw ($5.80)

Already relegated Wolves will be eager to play for pride here, as they take on Brighton down on the south coast. The Seagulls were undone by Newcastle last weekend, leaving their European football hopes for next season dangling and this feels like a chance for them to get back on track. Wolves meanwhile have been consigned to Championship football for a while, but this is a complete free hit for them. This feels like the perfect sort of game for Brighton, who look well placed to win at home.

Brighton to win 4-1

Manchester City vs Brentford @ Etihad Stadium

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $5.80

BET NOW

Manchester City ($1.40)

Brentford ($9.00)

Draw ($5.80)

Title chasing Manchester City will need to be at their best here, as they take on an in-form Brentford side at the Etihad. City continue to fight on two fronts and have been going well of late, but this is a tricky game, against an opponent who have given them plenty of problems previously. Brentford love to play on the break, something they will be able to do here against City, and they pushed the blues in both games played between the two teams this term. This is much trickier than the odds suggest for City and Brentford could pinch a point here.

2-2 Draw

Burnley vs Aston Villa @ Turf Moor

Betting Tip: Aston Villa to win the match @ $1.67

BET NOW

Burnley ($5.50)

Aston Villa ($1.67)

Draw ($4.20)

With Burnley already relegated, Aston Villa will be looking to press on with their own European football hopes this term, but recent performances have been a concern for Unai Emery’s men. Burnley have parted ways with Scott Parker, as they look to rebuild in the Championship next term and they will be eager to show they still have fight in the tank here. For Villa, managing the demands of multiple competitions at this time in the season looks to have taken its toll but they should come out on top here.

Aston Villa to win 2-1

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United @ City Ground

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $3.55

BET NOW

Nottingham Forest ($2.30)

Newcastle United ($2.80)

Draw ($3.55)

The Nottingham Forest story over the past few weeks has been remarkable, as the Tricky Trees push on with their Europa League bid and continue to scrap away in their fight for survival. They take on Newcastle United next, with Premier League safety still very much in their own hands and the City Ground should be rocking here. Toon have run out of steam this term under Eddie Howe, with a summer of change seemingly coming but they showed heart to beat Brighton last weekend. This will be an interesting one and both sides may settle for a point.

2-2 Draw

Crystal Palace vs Everton @ Selhurst Park

Betting Tip: Everton to win the match @ $2.70

BET NOW

Crystal Palace ($2.75)

Everton ($2.70)

Draw ($3.30)

Crystal Palace will be looking to press on with their Europa Conference League hopes but for the time being, they take on an Everton side that will be buoyant following their famous home draw with Manchester City. Palace have been stretched all season and know that Oliver Glasner is leaving in the summer, but they will be eager to finish the current campaign on a high. Everton meanwhile will be bang up for this one, after digging deep against City and with Palace sure to have their eyes on Europe, the Toffees could sneak this one.

Everton to win 2-1

West Ham United vs Arsenal @ London Stadium

Betting Tip: Arsenal to win the match @ $1.60

BET NOW

West Ham United ($5.30)

Arsenal ($1.60)

Draw ($4.20)

It is advantage Arsenal in the Premier League title race, and they know that three wins will see them crowned champions once more. Next up is a trip to West Ham, who are scrapping for their lives, but who currently occupy one of the three relegation spots. Arsenal have a Champions League semi-final to negotiate first against Atletico Madrid but there is a real sense of belief growing around the Emirates. London derbies are never easy, and West Ham will make this tough, but the Gunners look well set to get it done.

Arsenal to win 2-0

Tottenham vs Leeds United @ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Betting Tip: Tottenham to win the match @ $1.85

BET NOW

Tottenham ($1.85)

Leeds United ($4.20)

Draw ($4.20)

This meeting between Tottenham and Leeds has become a relegation six pointer, with Spurs needing to win to pull further away from trouble. Wins over Wolves and Aston Villa have lifted the gloom around Tottenham, but they still have work to do in order to be playing Premier League football next term. Leeds meanwhile are flying in the Premier League and have a six point buffer to Spurs but a loss here would obviously tighten things up a touch. This will be closely fought but Spurs look decent value to get over the line.
