Going into the last couple weeks of the season there are still places to play for at the top and bottom of the Premier League table. Arsenal and Manchester United will still have faint hopes of making the top four, while Swansea and Hull seem to be battling to stay out of that last dreaded relegation place and Crystal Palace still not out of the woods yet. I will be previewing and giving predictions for all the games over the weekend.
Everton vs Watford
Everton have been strong at home this season minus the blip they had against Chelsea and fully expect them to beat a Watford side who already seem like their on there holidays. Score Prediction: Everton 3-0 Watford
Chelsea vs West Brom
Chelsea can clinch the title with a victory and although the pressure will be on them I expect Conte side to rise to the challenge and turn over West Brom. Pulis’s side have had a great season but I can’t see them raining on Chelsea parade. Score Predictions: Chelsea 2-0 West Brom
Man City vs Leicester
City have still not guaranteed a place in next years Champions League and I can see Leicester giving them a real shock at the Etihad this weekend where their home record has not been the strongest. Leicester have gotten the upper hand on City in their recent results against them and I envisage Vardy giving the City defence a torrid time again. Score Predictions: Man City 2-2 Leicester
Bournemouth vs Burnley
Burnley will be buoyed with getting their first away result against Palace but I think this will be a harder test for them down the south coast. Bournemouth are playing well at the moment and I see them winning comfortably with Joshua King on the scoresheet. Score Predictions : Bournemouth 3-1 Burnley
Middlesborough vs Southampton
Although Middlesbrough have been relegated they will want to perform for their supporters who have been behind them all season. Southampton have dried up in terms of scoring goals, having said that they had a positive result away at Liverpool but could not capitalise against Arsenal. I’m going for low scoring draw here. Score Predictions: Middlesbrough 1-1 Southampton
Sunderland vs Swansea
With Sunderland being relegated it seems they are playing with more freedom and got a shock result last time out against Hull, this is how they should carry on until the end of the season to give their fans optimism going into the Championship. Swansea need to win this game to put pressure on Hull and widen the gap between the two before Hull play on Sunday. Score Predictions: Sunderland 0-1 Swansea
Stoke vs Arsenal
Stoke have historically been Arsenal bogey team and it is never easy going to the bet365 stadium. However, with momentum and a top four finish to chase I see Arsenal winning this one just about with Sanchez playing a key role for them again. Score Predictions: Stoke 1-2 Arsenal
Crystal Palace vs Hull
This is a real relegation six pointer and if Hull were at home this week I would have swayed towards three points for them, however I just do not see them turning over a Palace team who although are short on confidence still need a win to secure Premier League survival. Score Predictions: Crystal Palace 2-2 Hull
West Ham vs Liverpool
This is a huge game in the season for Liverpool, depending on the Arsenal result they could find themselves only one point ahead of them. So it is imperative that they collect all three points here. The only question is which West Ham team will turn up? If it is the side that beat Tottenham last week I can see them beating Klopps side. Or will it be the team that has been so poor the majority of the campaign at home. Score Prediction: West Ham 1-1 Liverpool
Tottenham vs Manchester United
Tottenham should not be to disappointed with their season they run Chelsea close and finally have the bragging rights over Arsenal this season finishing above them. They will want to give their fans a good send off being the last game ever at White Hart Lane. I can not see anything other than a weakened side that Mourinho will field, but I still expect them to have enough quality to create chances and test Tottenham who have been flawless at home so far this season. Score Predictions: Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United
