Aston Villa vs Newcastle Preview Both teams to score Over 3.5 goals With their UEFA Champions League dream now over following a 5-4 aggregate defeat to PSG, Aston Villa must quickly turn their attention back to domestic matters. Their 3-2 second-leg win on Tuesday proved in vain, and Unai Emery will be desperate for his side to respond positively in this crunch top-five Premier League clash.

Everton vs Manchester City Preview City to win Both teams to score Moyes’ Merseyside momentum builds David Moyes’ return to the Everton dugout has sparked a revival that many didn’t see coming. A dramatic late winner at Nottingham Forest last weekend saw the Toffees clinch a 1-0 victory, extending their impressive run under the veteran manager to just two defeats in 13 Premier League games (W5, D6). With 21 points collected in that time, only five teams have performed better across the same span – a sign that Everton have regained their bite and belief. This test will certainly be one…

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Preview Draw or Bournemouth win Over 2.5 goals Eagles reeling after back-to-back hammerings Crystal Palace appeared to be mounting a serious push for a top-half Premier League finish after a five-match unbeaten run (W4, D1), but that dream has been crushed by successive heavy defeats. A 5-2 home loss to Manchester City, despite going 2-0 up, was followed by a humbling 5-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle in midweek.

Brentford vs Brighton Preview Draw Both teams to score Brentford aiming to reignite European push Brentford’s European aspirations remain mathematically alive, but unless the Bees can rediscover their winning touch, those hopes will fade rapidly. With just one win across their last six Premier League outings (D3, L2), momentum has stalled at a crucial juncture in the season. A battling 1-1 draw away at Arsenal last Saturday offered some encouragement and kept them in touch with the top half, but victory against 10th-placed Brighton is imperative if they are to mount a serious late charge. Thomas Frank’s men have particularly struggled on…

West Ham vs Southampton Preview West Ham to win Under 4.5 goals Hammers slump towards the finish line Despite a brave performance at Anfield last time out, West Ham fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat against Liverpool, extending their winless run to five Premier League games (D2, L3). With safety long secured but no chance of European qualification, the Hammers seem to be drifting toward the end of a forgettable campaign. They enter this round in 17th place – their lowest position at this stage of a season since their eventual relegation in 2010/11. Manager Graham Potter has yet to leave…

Dominic Solanke’s first-half penalty ultimately proved enough to separate the two sides, as Ange Postecoglou’s men reached their first European semi-final in five years and kept alive hopes of claiming their first continental title since 1984.

Maresca Names Strong Lineup as Chelsea Look to Bounce Back After a disappointing 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town in the Premier League, which extended Chelsea’s poor domestic form, head coach Enzo Maresca made it clear he wasn’t taking any chances. Despite holding a…

Aaron Ramsdale Handed £25m Manchester United Transfer Boost Amid Arsenal Reunion Hints The former Arsenal goalkeeper has emerged as a surprise target for Manchester United this summer.
