Sorry to start off on a bad note but the Premier League final day is a bit of a damp squib. Considering that at one point we had what looked like a three horse race for the title on and points deductions at the foot of the table. Nevertheless, there is value to be had and we have seeked it out in this week’s tipsheet.
Kick-off: 16:00 Sunday, Sky Sports Main Event
Without their points deduction, Everton would be two points off the top half. The Toffee’s have won four of their last five and only lost one of their last eight.
It is worth pointing out that the defeat was a 6-0 thumping at Stamford Bridge. Having seen their recent form, I wanted to get Sean Dyche’s side onside at the Emirates but their record away to the big boys this term is atrocious.
In five games away to the top six, Everton are winless, conceding 16 and scoring once away at Tottenham.
With the title on the line, Arsenal will be strictly business and backing them to win to nil looks huge.
Prediction: Arsenal Win To nil @ 2.00
Kick-off: 16:00 Sunday, Sky Sports Main Event
Unlike some of the games, this one has a fair bit riding on it. After Chelsea beat Brighton in midweek, it means the Blues could still pip Tottenham to fifth spot although Spurs would have to lose at basement boys Sheffield United. This could be crucial in securing a spot in the Europa League if Manchester United win the FA Cup.
That Chelsea win on the south coast did Bournemouth’s hopes of securing a top half finish the world of good. The Cherries head to Stamford Bridge outside the top 10 on only goal difference and have already racked up the most Premier League points in their history.
I expect a ding-dong affair in the big smoke between two sides who are looking to end on a high.
Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals @ 2.14
Kick-off: 16:00 Sunday, Sky Sports Main Event
It is a shame Jordan Henderson is not still at Liverpool because I was thinking which player typifies Jurgen Klopp’s reign at Anfield ahead of his final game.
Mohammed Salah has made the most appearances under Klopp of the current crop, followed by Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold. I think the latter is as good a punt as any.
Nurtured from the unknown to one of the best right backs in the division, if not world on his day.
TAA has only scored three this term but I would really enjoy it if he signed this era off with one.
Prediction: Trent Alexander-Arnold Anytime Goalscorer @ 6.00
Kick-off: 16:00 Sunday, Sky Sports Main Event
Erling Haaland hat-trick at 5.7? Surely that is too short, right. You would like to think but just hear me out.
He already has three hat tricks in all competitions this season and six in two Premier League seasons.
In his last 13 games, he has hit a brace against Tottenham (last game), four against Wolves (MD 36) and five in the FA Cup at Kenilworth Road.
There is also the fact Man City need to win to guarantee this title, so will come out the traps flying.
Crucially though, Erling Haaland is three goals away from 30 EPL goals this term. He’ll want a nice round 30 for sure.
Prediction: Erling Haaland hat-trick @ 5.70
Kick-off: 16:00 Sunday, Sky Sports Main Event
Andy Madley has the whistle at Bramall Lane, a referee who has dished out an average of just under four cards a game. I fancy him to underperform that in S2 this Sunday though.
He has dished out two or less cards in four of his last six games, one of which saw none and another involving Sheffield United only had one.
Since the Blades were officially relegated, their cynical habits have tailed off, picking up one or fewer in four of six with this bet clicking on three occasions.
After defeat in midweek, Tottenham essentially have nothing to play for.
Prediction: Under 2.5 cards @ 1.90
Back Arsenal Win To Nil @ 2.00
Back Over 3.5 Goals in Chelsea vs Bournemouth @ 2.14
Back Trent Alexander-Arnold Anytime Goalscorer @ 6.00
Back Erling Haaland Hat-trick @ 5.70
Back Under 2.5 cards @ 1.90
