Premier League Week 36 Predictions
—
Leeds United vs Newcastle United – Elland Road
Leeds United ($4.8)
Newcastle United ($1.73)
Draw ($4.33)
Sam Allardyce’s first home game in charge of Leeds, sees him take on former club Newcastle United. The whites were resoundingly beaten by Manchester City last weekend, despite only losing 2-1 and their performance level will need to improve here. Newcastle meanwhile fell short against Arsenal last time out and need to keep picking up points if they are to stay inside the top 4. This will be a nail biter, with both sides bang up for it but Newcastle should just about have too much quality when it matters.
Betting tip: Newcastle United to win the match ($1.73)
Newcastle to win 2-1
Manchester United vs Wolves – Old Trafford
Manchester United ($1.42)
Wolves ($8.50)
Draw ($5.25)
Manchester United need to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, as they take on Wolves. Back to back defeats to Brighton and West Ham United has left the Red Devils looking anxiously over their shoulder with just handful of games to play. Wolves meanwhile are mathematically safe, and they will be looking to make life as difficult as possible for United here. This won’t be as one sided as the odds suggest but Manchester United should get over the line here.
Betting tip: Manchester United to win the match ($1.42)
Manchester United to win 2-1
Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth – Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace ($1.91)
Bournemouth ($4.50)
Draw ($3.80)
Crystal Palace host Bournemouth, with both sides having displayed improved performances in recent weeks. Palace have perked up under Roy Hodgson and they are well clear of the relegation picture as a result. Bournemouth meanwhile are not mathematically safe but any sort of result from this game would see their Premier League status secured. There is plenty to play for here for both sides, but Palace should benefit from home advantage and could pick up a win here.
Betting tip: Crystal Palace to win the match ($1.91)
Crystal Palace to win 3-1
Southampton vs Fulham – St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton ($2.95)
Fulham ($2.52)
Draw ($3.51)
Southampton are hanging on for dear life at the bottom of the Premier League table and anything other than a win here against Fulham would see them all-but drop down into the Championship. Saints look low on confidence, and they won’t be relishing taking on a Fulham side that are banging the goals in for fun currently. This could be a tense one on the south coast, but Fulham are a very dangerous side, and they could pick Southampton off in this one.
Betting tip: Fulham to win the match ($2.52)
Fulham to win 3-1
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest – Stamford Bridge
Chelsea ($1.50)
Nottingham Forest ($7.20)
Draw ($4.60)
Chelsea will be looking to build on their first win in a while, as they take on Nottingham Forest. The blues have lacked confidence all season and their mid-table standing is representative of just that. They take on a Nottingham Forest side that climbed out of the relegation zone after beating Southampton last weekend and they will see this as a free hit. This probably won’t be as one-sided as the odds suggest but Chelsea should record a win in this one.
Betting tip: Chelsea to win the match ($1.50)
Chelsea to win 2-1
Aston Villa vs Tottenham – Molineux
Aston Villa ($2.30)
Tottenham ($3.15)
Draw ($3.75)
Aston Villa and Tottenham face off, in what should be an excellent game at Villa Park. Villa have been one of the in-form sides in the division in recent weeks and they will be desperate to push on and finish the season as strongly as possible. Tottenham meanwhile have huffed and puffed in recent months, dropping way off the top 4 chase and they look to be rebuilding for next season. This will be a very close game between two well matched teams and the draw looks favourite.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.75)
1-1 Draw
Everton vs Manchester City – Etihad Stadium
Everton ($9)
Manchester City ($1.37)
Draw ($5.40)
Everton will be hoping to build on their huge win at Brighton last weekend, as they host title-chasing Manchester City. Everton are in a relegation dog fight and Sean Dyche will be desperate to get his side ticking ahead of this huge game. City meanwhile remain in the mix for three trophies, but they know all too well how tricky a trip to Goodison Park can be. This will be super tight and with City perhaps having one eye on the Champions League, the blues could end up drawing here.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($5.4)
1-1 Draw
Brentford vs West Ham United – Gtech Stadium
Brentford ($2.11)
West Ham United ($3.70)
Draw ($3.65)
A London derby of sorts is next up, with Brentford hosting West Ham. The Bees have lost their way a little in recent weeks, but their impressive campaign will live long in the memory in West London and beyond. West Ham United meanwhile need one more win to make their league status fully secure and how they would love to box it off here. This should be an entertaining one and with West Ham continually improving, a draw could be the end result.
Betting tip: The match to finish as a draw ($3.65)
2-2 Draw
Arsenal vs Brighton – Emirates Stadium
Arsenal ($1.78)
Brighton ($4.50)
Draw ($4.35)
Arsenal will be looking to keep pace with Manchester City at the top of the tree, as they take on Brighton. The Gunners have been unrelenting this season and they will be hoping to pick up a win here and cash in on any City slip ups. Brighton meanwhile have a top 6 spot in their sights, despite losing 5-1 at home to Everton last weekend. Brighton will have a proper go here, but Arsenal should win comfortably enough at home.
Betting tip: Arsenal to win the match ($1.78)
Arsenal to win 3-1
Leicester City vs Liverpool – King Power Stadium
Leicester City ($5.50)
Liverpool ($1.62)
Draw ($4.35)
Leicester City will be looking to climb away from relegation trouble, as they take on Liverpool. The Foxes were thumped at Fulham, and they are in danger of slipping into the Championship, if results don’t turn around. Liverpool meanwhile are on a roll in terms of wins, and they are in with an outside shot of cracking the top 4. This will be a really good game in the East Midlands and whilst Leicester will be up for it, Liverpool should prevail in this one.
Betting tip: Liverpool to win the match ($1.62)
Liverpool to win 2-1
