Prices are correct at the time of publication but subject to change.

 

All of Sunday's matches share the same kick off time (18:00 SA time), with it being the final round, let's have a bit of fun and try and land a couple of long shots to show a profit on the day.

 

Bournemouth v Leicester

 

Bournemouth will finish mid table whilst relegated Leicester have shown some spirit with 2 wins and a draw in their last 3, albeit, the wins came against fellow relegated sides. The authorities are currently drumming their fingers on the table waiting for revenge on Leicester after the clubs legal team got them off a FSP hook earlier this season and I wouldn't be backing them for an immediate return to the top flight. The home side's Evanilson has scored 10 goals this season but 4 have arrived in the last 8 and he is the 1st goalscorer pick.

 

Bet: 1st Goalscorer Evanilson at 38/10 with Betway

 

Fulham v Man City

 

Mid table Fulham have had a decent enough campaign whilst City need a point to guarantee UCL football next season. The home sides Antonee Robinson has 10 assists this season and although the most recent came back in Gameweek 24 his overall stats in that department meant the price caught my eye

 

Bet: Player assists Antonee Robinson at 7/1 with Betway

 

 

Ipswich v West Ham

 

Ipswich gave it a go, rolling the dice in the transfer market but they came up well short. They should be well placed to bounce back next season even though Delap will surely move on. Meanwhile West Ham have been a hard watch and it's tough to find anything that really appeals here although perhaps Niclas Füllkrug can end an injury hit season on a high.

 

Bet: Anytime goalscorer Niclas Füllkrug at 1.42/1 with Betway

 

Liverpool v Crystal Palace

 

The EPL Champions against the FA Cup winners in a mouth watering dress rehearsal for next season's Community Shield. It could be a farewell for more than one Liverpool player here but their line up has been hard to predict since they sealed the title so I'm looking more at Palace for a goalscorer and will side with Eze who came through for me last week.

 

Bet: Anytime goalscorer Eze at 32/10 with Sportingbet

 

 

Man United v Aston Villa

 

After defeat in the UEL final to Spurs in midweek United look vulnerable against a Villa side who are sixth and need a win to have any chance of a top 5 finish and UCL football next season. Even a victory for United would see them finish no higher than 14th and this Villa side have won 8 of their last 9. I'm with the visitors although United can also contribute.

 

Bet: Villa to win and both teams to score? (yes), boosted to 9/4 with Sportingbet

 

Newcastle v Everton

 

EFL Cup winners Newcastle kick off in fourth place in the knowledge victory here will seal UCL football next season. Everton's farewell Goodison Park win last week probably marked the end of their season and I'm not sure how much resistance they can put up here and I'll go with the home side by 2 or more.

 

Bet: Handicap, Newcastle -1 at even money with Sportingbet

 

Notts Forest v Chelsea

 

The game with by far the most hinging on it in terms of UCL qualification. Forest are 7th and have to win and hope either Newcastle or Villa drop points if they are to make it. A draw won't be enough for fifth placed Chelsea if Villa win their game and Newcastle avoid defeat and in circumstances such as these Forest's owner will believe he has a key role to play on and off the field. Both teams to score and either team to win is my play.

 

Bet: Both teams to score and either team to win? Yes at 5/4 with Sportingbet

 

Southampton v Arsenal

 

It's been a long season for Southampton who were relegated in September. Arsenal are assured of a top 2 finish but will finish without a trophy. I'll take my chances with Ross Stewart to nod a goal in for the Saints, he did get some game time last week and could be an important player for them in the Championship next season if he can stay fit and .

 

Bet: Anytime goalscorer Ross Stewart at 36/10 with Betway

 

 

Spurs v Brighton

 

At the time of writing the outcome of Saturday's promotion play off final between Sheff United and Sunderland is unknown although one of my horse racing buddy's by the name of John has been telling me on a regular basis that it would be a travesty if Sheff United miss out on promotion after they finished third with 15 points more than Sunderland in the regular season. Meanwhile hard core Spurs fan John will cheering his side on in the UCL next season even though they come into this game fourth from bottom, currently 28 points behind sixth placed Aston Villa who might have to settle for the Europa League!!!

 

Brighton have an outside chance of Europa Conference qualification but need a win, Spurs will want to celebrate in style in front of all their supporters and I'm going with a speculative 2-2 correct score play.

 

Bet: Correct score 2-2 at 11/1 with Betway

 

Wolves v Brentford

 

Wolves have done well to pull clear of trouble and Brentford can be more than satisfied with their season. This looks tricky in terms of calling the result but there is no pressure on and I'll give the thumbs up to a mini price boost for both teams to score in the first half.

 

Bet: Both teams to score in the first half? Yes) boosted to 5/2 with Sportingbet

 

Many thanks for those of you who have viewed the previews all season and especially to the legends who have contributed their own plays on our discussion forum.
