EPL Week 38 Expert Tips & Predictions

With Arsenal crowned as the 2025-26 Premier League champions going into the final round of fixtures, all eyes are on the battle for survival.

Tottenham and West Ham are battling it out to stay in the division, with Wolves and Burnley relegated weeks ago.

Coming up from the Championship will be Coventry City and Ipswich Town, with either Hull or Middlesborough to join them, following one of the sporting stories of the year involving Southampton and ‘spy gate’.

Closing weekends are never easy to call, with the small matter of the World Cup starting in three weeks too and this should be an intriguing end to the campaign.

Here are our top Premier League tips for the final weekend of the season:

Bournemouth meanwhile have Champions League football in their sights, having already sewn up some European football next season. All the emphasis is on Bournemouth here and they should continue their impressive run and pick up a final day win.

Liverpool ($1.85)

Brentford ($4.25)

Draw ($4.00)

Liverpool’s official hold on the Premier League comes to an end this weekend, with Arne Slot and his side under pressure to perform a summer rebuild. It has been a very tough season for the reds, on and off the field and a refresh feels inevitable. Brentford meanwhile have belied pre-season fears and will end up finishing comfortably in the top half of the table. There isn’t much on the line here and with Liverpool saying goodbye to Mo Salah, it could be all about the reds on the final day.

Liverpool to win 3-1

Manchester City vs Aston Villa @ Etihad Stadium

BET NOW

Manchester City ($1.33)

Aston Villa ($9.50)

Draw ($6.40)

Manchester City saw their title race run out of steam in midweek, while their opponents here Aston Villa secured Europa League glory. City have picked up two trophies of their own this term and will be preparing to say goodbye to club legends John Stones and Bernardo Silva in this one. Villa meanwhile have been celebrating their European triumph since returning to the UK on Thursday and with City ready to potentially say farewell to their prolific manager Pep Guardiola, it could be a win and an emotional day in Manchester.

Sunderland vs Chelsea @ Stadium Of Light

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $3.80

BET NOW

Sunderland ($3.70)

Chelsea ($2.05)

Draw ($3.80)

Sunderland’s superb first season back in the Premier League sees the curtain call here, as they take on Chelsea. The Black Cats have surpassed expectation and will be looking to build on that over the summer for next year. Chelsea meanwhile will be under the stewardship of Xabi Alonso next term, with change on the cards at Stamford Bridge, following a forgettable campaign for the blues. This could be played with little edge, and the draw feels in play.

1-1 Draw

Fulham vs Newcastle United @ Craven Cottage

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $3.80

BET NOW

Fulham ($2.90)

Newcastle United ($2.40)

Draw ($3.80)

Another pair of clubs readying for a summer of change meet here, as Fulham host Newcastle United in West London. Marco Silva could be departing this summer, but he can reflect on a good job well done over the past few years and the framework is in place for the Cottagers to remain a solid Premier League outfit. Newcastle meanwhile have dropped off this season and Eddie Howe is anticipating plenty of change within his squad over the coming weeks. This is a complete dead rubber, making the score draw the sensible prediction.

2-2 Draw

Brighton vs Manchester United @ AMEX Stadium

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $4.30

BET NOW

Brighton ($1.90)

Manchester United ($3.80)

Draw ($4.30)

Brighton will be chasing European football here, as they host Manchester United on the south coast. It has been a super season for the Seagulls, who can secure at least a Europa Conference League place with a positive result in this one. Manchester United meanwhile have come on leaps and bounds under Michael Carrick, and they have Champions League football to look forward to next season. All of the emphasis will be on Brighton in this one but United are a vastly improved team, bringing the draw into play.

1-1 Draw

West Ham United vs Leeds United @ London Olympic Stadium

Betting Tip: West Ham United to win the match @ $1.90

BET NOW

West Ham United ($1.90)

Leeds United ($4.00)

Draw ($4.10)

Premier League survival is at stake here for West Ham, who know they need to beat Leeds, and hope results go their way to stay in the division. The Hammers have endured a mixed campaign and looked unlikely to even be in this situation a few weeks ago but with other sides hitting form at the right time, they now sit two points adrift going into the final day. Leeds meanwhile have found another gear in recent weeks and are now looking ahead to next season in the Premier League under Daniel Farke. This could be a home win for West Ham, but it may not be enough to keep them up.

West Ham United to win 2-1

Tottenham vs Everton @ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Betting Tip: Tottenham to win the match @ $1.95

BET NOW

Tottenham ($1.95)

Everton ($4.10)

Draw ($3.80)

A tetchy afternoon looks to be in prospect for Tottenham, who need a point or more against Everton to be assured of their Premier League status. It has been an abject campaign for the side from North London, but they can save their skin with a result here. Everton will revel in their role as party poopers and will make this very tough for the obviously anxious crowd in North London. However, Spurs have been digging in recently and they should get over the line.

Tottenham to win 2-0

Burnley vs Wolves @ Turf Moor

Betting Tip: Burnley to win the match @ $2.50

BET NOW

Burnley ($2.50)

Wolves ($2.90)

Draw ($3.60)

Two relegated sides meet here, as Burnley host Wolves at Turf Moor. The Championship beckons for both of them following tricky campaigns, but they will be looking to go out on a high. The Clarets are looking for a new manager over the summer and will be looking to have their house in order to boost their promotion bid. Wolves meanwhile will be under Rob Edwards’s watchful eye next term, and he needs to galvanise the troops. All three results are in play here on the final day, with Burnley looking decent value to win at home.

Burnley to win 2-1

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal @ Selhurst Park

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $4.20

BET NOW

Crystal Palace ($4.40)

Arsenal ($1.85)

Draw ($4.20)

Champions Arsenal will be crowned here but have the small matter of a Champions League final next weekend on the horizon too, with their trip to Crystal Palace an unwelcome distraction for both sides. Palace themselves have the Europa Conference League final next week, as they look to cap Oliver Glasner’s incredible tenure. Arsenal will also have their eye off the ball here and have been celebrating hard this week. This could be cagey, with players rotated in and the draw looks decent value.
