Manchester United vs Manchester City Preview Draw or City win Over 2.5 goals A Premier League Manchester derby without title implications or top-four tension is a rare occurrence. But as Manchester United sit in the bottom half of the table and Manchester City begin the round outside the top four, this clash is about pride and bragging rights as much as points. For United, it’s a chance to regain momentum ahead of a crucial UEFA Europa League quarter-final against Lyon. For City, the derby could reignite their Champions League qualification hopes, with Pep Guardiola’s men in unfamiliar territory as they fight…

Fulham vs Liverpool Preview Liverpool to win Both teams to score Fulham welcome Premier League leaders Liverpool to Craven Cottage in a clash that holds significance for both ends of the top half. Marco Silva’s side are attempting to revive their European push, while Arne Slot’s men continue to march relentlessly toward a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title. Though the two sides enter this fixture on very different trajectories, Fulham have proven stubborn at home and boast players capable of upsetting the odds — especially in front of a Craven Cottage crowd that’s witnessed some surprise results this season. Fulham:…

Tottenham vs Southampton Preview Spurs to win Son to score Tottenham return to home soil under growing pressure after back-to-back defeats in London derbies against Fulham (2-0) and Chelsea (1-0) left their European qualification hopes in tatters and raised serious questions over the future of Ange Postecoglou. With reports suggesting his position may be under review, and with a crucial Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt looming, Spurs must find momentum — and fast. They host rock-bottom Southampton, who have shown minor signs of defensive improvement but remain all but mathematically doomed for relegation. For Tottenham, this fixture represents both an…

Brentford vs Chelsea Preview Draw or Chelsea win Under 2.5 goals Two London clubs with vastly different ambitions meet at the Gtech Community Stadium as Brentford host Chelsea in a capital derby. While Brentford are aiming to halt a worrying slide in form and end the season on a high, Chelsea arrive with renewed momentum after beating Tottenham and reigniting their push for a UEFA Champions League spot. Both sides are separated by several places in the table, but inconsistency and patchy form have plagued them at various points, making this a far-from-straightforward encounter. Brentford: Poor Home Form Undermining European Dreams…

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest Preview Draw or Villa win Both teams to score Two of the Premier League’s most in-form sides go head-to-head this weekend as Aston Villa welcome Nottingham Forest to Villa Park in what promises to be a high-quality and potentially explosive clash between two teams on remarkable winning runs. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are riding the wave of success, with six straight wins across all competitions placing them in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the FA Cup semi-finals, and right in the mix for European qualification through the league. Forest, however, are not far behind, unbeaten in…

Everton vs Arsenal Preview Arsenal to win Ødegaard to score or assist A tough 1-0 Merseyside derby defeat in midweek may have dented morale for Everton, but their ten-match unbeaten run prior to that result ensures that optimism still surrounds the club as they continue to pull away from relegation fears. Next up, however, is a significant test against title-chasing Arsenal, who arrive at Goodison Park needing to win to maintain any hope of catching Liverpool at the top. Both sides have points to prove and ambitions to keep alive, setting up an intriguing clash between two of England’s most…

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Preview Draw Both teams to score It’s time for one of the Premier League’s most underrated rivalries as Crystal Palace and Brighton clash once again at Selhurst Park, with both sides eager to bounce back from disappointing midweek performances. Palace needed a stoppage-time equaliser to rescue a point against Southampton, while Brighton were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Aston Villa, putting a dent in their European ambitions. This fixture has a reputation for being tightly contested, and history may repeat itself — especially given a remarkable recent pattern that continues to define this rivalry. Crystal Palace: Confidence…

Ipswich vs Wolves Preview Draw or Wolves win Over 2.5 goals Ipswich Town’s surprise 2-1 win away at Bournemouth in midweek offered a rare glimmer of hope in what has been a dismal return to the top flight. But with Wolves also collecting three points during the week, the gap to safety remains at nine points, making this clash a must-win encounter for the Tractor Boys. Anything less than a victory here, and their Premier League survival hopes will all but vanish. Wolves, by contrast, are trending upward under Vítor Pereira, and a win at Portman Road would virtually confirm…

West Ham vs Bournemouth Preview Draw Both teams to score As the Premier League season enters its final stretch, West Ham and Bournemouth both find themselves on the outside of the European race, yet far removed from relegation fears. This weekend’s clash at the London Stadium offers an opportunity for both clubs to steady themselves after disappointing midweek defeats, with pride, positioning, and form heading into the summer all on the line. West Ham: A Season of Missed Opportunity What began as a turbulent campaign under Julen Lopetegui has not seen significant improvement under Graham Potter, who continues to struggle…

Matchday 30 Awards The international break has come and gone, just like the FA Cup quarter-finals, and this midweek brought us matchday 30 of our beloved Premier League. Not too much has changed, in fairness, after this round of games, but we did witness some surprising results. Bournemouth lost at home to almost-relegated Ipswich, making it more difficult for themselves to jostle for a more favourable position in the race for European football. Even more shockingly, Crystal Palace, with their amazing away record, failed to beat Southampton at St. Mary’s, having to rely on an injury time goal to salvage…
