ASTON VILLA VS LIVERPOOL
A win for either side on Friday night guarantees Champions League football next season. Villa, who still have another potential route having reached the Europa League final, won't want to rely on that - and Unai Emery's side will fancy themselves at Villa Park under the lights.
That's because they have won three of their last five at home. In all three of those wins, Villa have scored four goals. Liverpool, on the other hand, arrive having lost four of their last five on their travels - conceding two in all of those.
Liverpool do have a good record at Villa Park of late (W3 D2) but this hasn't exactly been a good period for them, and the value is with the hosts.
Betting Tip: Aston Villa Draw No Bet - 1/1 –
BetMGM
MAN UNITED VS FOREST
Man United have banked 3rd spot while Forest secured safety last weekend and therefore this match may have a slightly more relaxed feel to it.
It won't be a formality for Man United, who have the 3rd best home form in the league, but Forest arrive with the 8th best on their travels and have enjoyed plenty of shock results on the road this campaign.
Forest have also beaten Man United in three of the last five meetings, although two of those came at the City Ground - and Michael Carrick's side are now very different to the teams Forest have previously faced.
Goals have been the theme in this fixture - and especially at Old Trafford - and this game could quickly open up.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 match goals – 3/5 –
High Bet
BRENTFORD VS CRYSTAL PALACE
Brentford will be desperate to win their final home game of the season as they try to finish with a European spot campaign. And although form has dipped of late, the incentive is there for them to beat a side that doesn't travel well.
At home, the Bees are unbeaten in four, and did manage to stick three past West Ham last time out. That ended a run of three straight draws - results Palace could only dream of on the road.
The visitors have lost four of their last five away from home, conceding at least two in all of them and three goals in three of those - including a recent 3-0 loss against Man City. Brentford can take it to the final day.
Betting Tip: Brentford to win – 7/11 –
247 Bet
EVERTON VS SUNDERLAND
Still in there pitching for a European spot, Everton will want to finish the season strong, although a winless streak of five has held them back of late.
At home, however, they have had difficult fixtures yet came away with solid wins vs Burnley, Chelsea and almost Man City in that wild 3-3 draw of late. Form has certainly picked up at their new stadium as the season has progressed.
Sunderland's season isn't ending all that well but their objective was to stay up - and with that achieved, they've taken their eye off the ball in the final weeks of the season. Winless in four, they appear unlikely to leave Liverpool with any points considering Everton's strong recent form on their final home day of the season. Back the Toffees to return to winning ways.
Betting Tip: Everton to win – 4/5 –
BetMGM
LEEDS VS BRIGHTON
With Leeds now officially safe for another season, attention turns to Brighton who may need another four points to secure European football.
Leeds, however, won't simply roll over, especially at Elland Road, who have only lost once their since the start of March.
Brighton's good form took a hit with a 3-1 defeat away to Newcastle, and they've only won once in Yorkshire since 2021. However, they brushed Leeds aside comfortably at home and with so much at stake, this could be where they put in another top performance to get over the line.
The visitors are odds-against, and that's too tempting with Leeds having secured their Premier League status.
Betting Tip: Brighton to win – 11/10 –

WOLVES VS FULHAM
Wolves will sign off their last home Premier League match for at least a season after what has been a dismal campaign.
Winless since February, not many fans will be expecting their team to finish the season on a high - especially having lost the reverse match 3-0.
But Fulham arrive out of sorts as well. With just one win in five, and their last away win coming back in February, Marco Silva's side aren't exactly flying at present.
Wolves haven't kept a clean sheet since their 2-0 win over Aston Villa in February, but this could be their best chance with Fulham up to 360 minutes without an away goal. The draw looks good value here.
Betting Tip: Draw – 14/5 –
247 Bet
NEWCASTLE VS WEST HAM
Newcastle will be looking to finish in the top half of the season but they will have to work hard for it with West Ham fighting for their lives.
However, since the Hammers beat Everton at home, they've lost 3-0 to Brentford and 1-0 to Arsenal, and in both matches they showed very little to suggest they have two more wins in them.
Newcastle surprised everyone beating Brighton 3-1 last time out at home and were unfortunate not to beat Forest on their travels last weekend.
West Ham have to show up - it's as simple as that - but they've not shown much to suggest they will. Newcastle's last two performances were far stronger, and they can secure another three points on Sunday.
Betting Tip: Newcastle to win - 11/10 –
247 Bet
ARSENAL VS BURNLEY
Arsenal can put one hand on the trophy on Monday night and they couldn't have asked for a more ideal fixture in which to do it.
Burnley have only picked up nine points from 18 matches on the road this season, scoring 20 and conceding 45 - the most out of all 20 sides in the Premier League.
Arsenal comfortably brushed Burnley to one side at Turf Moor 2-0 back in November, and how Mikel Arteta would rip your hand off for the same result.
But confidence is high. With four clean sheets from their last five, this should be a professional job from the hosts as they step towards their first league trophy since 2004.
Betting Tip: Arsenal to win to nil – 4/5 –
BetMGM
BOURNEMOUTH VS MAN CITY
Man City will be hoping Burnley can spring a huge surprise but all they can do is take it to the final day. However, a tricky trip to the south coast could undo them against a side that hasn't lost since the 3rd January.
There's often been goals in this fixture, with over 2.5 landing in four of the last five. The reverse fixture saw Man City win 3-1 at the Etihad, but it won't be that easy for them with the Cherries still fighting for Europe.
Man City's crazy 3-3 draw when last seen on the road against Everton showed not only their fight but also why they have potentially let the title slip this season, and goals can once again flow. This should make great viewing - and one we can profit from.
Betting Tip: BTTS Yes and over 2.5 - 4/5 -
BetMGM
CHELSEA VS SPURS
A fierce derby finishes round 37 and there's plenty at stake for both sides. Chelsea will not only want to keep their European chances alive - if still possible by the time they play - but also they will be very keen to keep Spurs in the relegation scrap come 90 minutes.
After Chelsea's incredibly poor 3-1 defeat vs Forest, they bounced back to claim a point at Anfield after falling behind after six minutes.
Spurs arrive at Stamford Bridge unbeaten in four and now with every chance of securing their status for next season. But with no win here since 2018, there's plenty of work to do - even with the hosts having endured a poor campaign.
This could be a match where cards come into play with so much on the line, and the over 5.5 line looks rather enticing.
Betting Tip: Over 5.5 match cards – 5/6 –
