LEEDS VS BURNLEY
FA Cup semi-finalists will be disappointed that they were unable to beat Chelsea last weekend but attention now turns to ensuring their Premier League status.
Prior to that narrow defeat, Leeds were unbeaten in six matches, having beaten Man United, Wolves and West Ham in the FA Cup. At home, they haven't conceded in their last three.
Burnley, who have let Scott Parker go, make the short trip to Elland Road having lost their last three away matches. It's been a dismal season for the Clarets - and now it's all about preparing for life back in the Championship.
Leeds may have to huff and puff tonight - but they've kept three clean sheets in a row at home, and BTTS No has landed in their last three meetings.
Betting Tip: BTTS No - 4/5 –
BetMGM
BRENTFORD VS WEST HAM
European hopefuls Brentford haven't won any of their last six Premier League matches and now face a West Ham side that will be fighting for their lives over the next few weeks.
Despite winless at home since the first week of January, the Bees haven't often struggled in front of goal this season. In fact, in their last five at home, they've found the back of the net against Arsenal, Wolves and Everton - it's more the fact they can't keep the ball out the other end.
West Ham are unbeaten in their last three - and will sense blood against a side struggling to get over the line. But with a fragile defence of their own, this fixture can see both teams score for the second time this season.
Betting Tip: BTTS Yes – 4/7 –
High Bet
NEWCASTLE VS BRIGHTON
Newcastle can't wait for their campaign to come to a close having lost their last five matches in a row. Technically, they can still be relegated, but fortunately for Eddie Howe there are a few more sides in more danger than the Magpies.
But that doesn't mean they are going to turn it around at any point soon - and they now face a Brighton side who have the best form in the league at present and are up to 6th place.
Having won four of their last five, including rescuing a point away to Spurs in the dying minutes of a huge match for the hosts, Brighton are a huge price to venture up north and take three points.
Brighton haven't lost to Newcastle in their last six meetings - and won the reverse fixture. Their Draw No Bet price is too good to ignore.
Betting Tip: Brighton Draw No Bet – 1/1 –
247 Bet
WOLVES VS SUNDERLAND
With Wolves preparing for life in the Championship and Sunderland trudging over the line, neither side can be backed with any kind of real confidence this weekend.
Wolves have lost four of their last five, while Sunderland have conceded nine in their last two. The Black Cats have had a wonderful first season back in the Premier League, but they've not shown much since beating Newcastle on the road back in March.
These two sides have shared two 0-0 draws in their last five meetings, and this is a match that doesn't look as though it will be first on Match of the Day on Saturday evening.
A low scoring affair awaits - and that offers plenty of value with the draw.
Betting Tip: Draw – 5/2 –
BetMGM
ARSENAL VS FULHAM
Arsenal have an opportunity to go six points clear with Man City playing on Monday and although they have a huge Champions League match to worry about next week, this fixture takes priority - for now.
Surprisingly, Arsenal enter this match having only won two of their last five matches at the Emirates - but the good news for the Gunners is that Fulham haven't won any of their last three on the road (D2 L1). And better yet for home supporters, Fulham have not scored in any of those matches.
The hosts have won three of their last five meetings against Fulham at home, but with Atletico Madrid waiting next week, Mikel Arteta will want to get a lead and rest key players if given the chance.
Arsenal can edge this - but there might not be many goals along the way.
Betting Tip: Arsenal and under 3.5 goals – 5/6 –

BOURNEMOUTH VS CRYSTAL PALACE
Bournemouth haven't lost since the 3rd January inside 90 minutes - a run that stretches over 15 matches across all competitions. Europe awaits if they secure a few more victories between now and the end of the season.
At home, however, five draws in a row have been slowing down their chances. The good news for the Cherries is that they come up against a Crystal Palace side perhaps looking elsewhere.
The Eagles have their second leg against Shakhtar midweek for a place in the Europa League Conference final - and they may choose to rest a few players ahead of that match.
If ever there was a chance for Bournemouth to bounce back, it could be this weekend.
Betting Tip: Bournemouth to win – 5/8 –
247 Bet
MAN UNITED VS LIVERPOOL
This heated rivalry often produces goals and that could be a theme that could continue. Their last five meetings have all produced over 2.5 match goals, a theme with both sides of late, too.
This bet has landed in four of Man United's last five matches, while this has also landed in three of Liverpool's last five away matches. They head to Manchester on the back of three Premier League wins - scoring at least two in each of those.
There's still so much at stake for both sides, but their attacking nature means we won't witness a chess match at Old Trafford. An early goal can set the tone - expect fireworks between these two rivals once more.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals - 1/2 –
247 Bet
ASTON VILLA VS SPURS
With Aston Villa having lost their Europa League semi-final against Nottingham Forest - and with Champions League football all but secured - Unai Emery may well choose to rotate heavily against Spurs.
That will be music to their ears as the visitors may need to win at least three of their four remaining matches if they are to stay in the Premier League.
A last minute winner vs Wolves last weekend kept them firmly in the running to achieve that - and while there's so much more work to do - Spurs have been given a golden opportunity to secure three more points.
If Villa rotate, this price may not last long.
Betting Tip: Spurs to win – 11/5 –
BetMGM
CHELSEA VS FOREST
By the time Forest get to play, they will know whether or not they can afford to rotate a little for their trip to Stamford Bridge. However, they have been playing a lot of matches of late, and although form has massively improved, Vitor Pereira will know what is at stake on Thursday evening.
Chelsea finally got back to winning ways - albeit in the FA Cup - but with Liam Rosenior now out of the picture we could see a reaction from some of their players.
The hosts have won three of their last five meetings against Forest, and although everything points towards the visitors getting at least a point, this might be the turning point Chelsea need and they can add fuel to fire in this massive relegation battle.
Betting Tip: Chelsea to win - 4/6 -
BetMGM
EVERTON VS MAN CITY
At the other end of the table, Man City are looking to breathe down Arsenal's neck with three huge points in Liverpool. And having won six in a row, Pep Guardiola's side are peaking at the right time.
The Toffees, who have lost three of their last five, are still in the hunt for a European spot but any attacking play could see them vulnerable on the counter.
This is the time of season where Man City often shine, and having won four of their last five against Everton, they can keep the title race going until the very end. Back the away win.
Betting Tip: Man City to win – 4/9 –
