Arsenal vs Bournemouth Preview Draw or Bournemouth win Both teams to score With just four rounds of Premier League action remaining, Arsenal welcome Bournemouth to the Emirates Stadium in between two legs of a UEFA Champions League semi-final against PSG. A narrow 1-0 loss in the first leg could prompt Mikel Arteta to rotate his squad, but the Gunners have a strong record of bouncing back in the league after European action, losing just one of their last 35 post-European fixtures (W24, D10). Dominant at home in this H2H Arsenal will be confident of securing three points, especially given their perfect…

Aston Villa vs Fulham Preview Villa to win Over 2.5 goals Villa look to bounce back on home turf After suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals and a 2-1 loss to Manchester City in their last Premier League outing, Aston Villa now see their Champions League ambitions hang in the balance.

Everton vs Ipswich Preview Everton to win Under 2.5 goals Historic afternoon at Goodison Park This weekend marks a sentimental occasion for Everton supporters as they witness the final 3pm kick-off at Goodison Park before the club’s move to a new waterfront stadium this summer. While recent home form hasn’t delivered much to celebrate – Everton are winless in five home games (D4, L1) – the gravity of the occasion may provide the extra motivation needed to sign off in style. Notable stalemates in that run include results against title contenders Liverpool and Arsenal, but a win over relegated Ipswich will…

Leicester vs Southampton Preview Leicester to win Under 3.5 goals A game stripped of meaning When the Premier League calendar was announced last June, this clash between Leicester and Southampton looked destined to be a high-stakes relegation decider. Fast forward to May, however, and both clubs have already been relegated. Leicester enter the match with only half as many points as West Ham in 17th, while Southampton have already sunk to rock bottom of the table. Another historic low for Leicester? Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to depart at the end of the season, and there’s little left for the…
