Premier League Game Week 38 Preview

The final set of Premier League matches of the season take place on Sunday, all kicking off at 4pm, with the battle for Champions League places going down to the wire.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea – Palmer to score and over four goals in game

An entertaining fixture seems likely at the City Ground as both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea chase a Champions League spot.

The Premier League table dictates that both sides need to target three points as they go up against Manchester City, Newcastle United and Aston Villa in a scrap for the last three remaining places.

Attacking intent seems likely from both sides as soon as the first whistle is blown. Expect plenty of goals and for Cole Palmer to get on the scoresheet for the visitors.

Palmer has rediscovered some form in recent weeks and the Blues will build their side around him, with the England international to score in a game which features five or more goals looks a juicy price at 7/1 with bet365.

Fulham vs Manchester City – draw half-time, draw full-time

While goals may flow at the City Ground, a less spectacular match may unfold at Craven Cottage, where Manchester City are looking to cement their place in the top five of the Premier League.

City have the luxury of knowing a draw against Fulham on Sunday would almost certainly be enough to secure Champions League football for next season.

Pep Guardiola seems likely to instruct his troops to make sure they leave no gaps at the back, retain possession for as long as possible, and play risk-free football.

The 13/2 about this game being a draw at both half-time and full-time looks great value and the Citiznes will probably only alter their disciplined tactics if they fall behind.

Bournemouth vs Leicester – Both teams to score and a drawn game

Bournemouth supporters were dreaming about European football for much of this season, but those hopes have ended.

The humble Cherries can still look back on a terrific campaign with pride and they can be fancied to put on a good show for their fans in their final match.

Expect a positive approach from the Cherries in their season finale – an attitude which will probably be matched by Leicester in the Foxes’ last outing before relegation back to the Championship. A score-draw seems a fair price at 11/2 with bet365.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace – Liverpool to win and over four goals

Crystal Palace’s FA Cup party has been understandably hearty and the Londoners may struggle to get back to business when they travel to Liverpool on Sunday.

The Reds have long been champions – those celebrations have eased – and the hosts will be eager to put the icing on the cake of a glorious campaign by entertaining their followers at Anfield.

A home win and five or more goals in the game seems a big price at 11/5 with bet365. 

Palace will probably have more appetite for attacking than defending, so may contribute a goal or two themselves.
