Premier League: Matchday 38 Tips
The final matchday of the Premier League season arrives on Sunday, with all 20 sides kicking off at 4pm BST and with plenty at the top end still to play for.
The title is still up for grabs with league leaders Manchester City requiring victory at home to West Ham in order to claim a record fourth consecutive league crown.
A draw or defeat will open the door for Arsenal, though, who need to beat Everton at the Emirates Stadium in order to stand any chance of lifting their first Premier League trophy since 2004.
Jurgen Klopp’s final game in charge of Liverpool sees the Reds take on Wolves at Anfield, while Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea can claim European football for next season with a win over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
Tip 1: Manchester City to win and BTTS @ 5/4
After claiming a vitally important 2-0 win at Tottenham in midweek, City are in the driving seat to claim yet another Premier League title and home advantage should see them get over the line against West Ham.
The Citizens have won each of their last seven home meetings with the Hammers, however clean sheets have not always come easily in this fixture. Four of these encounters have seen the visitors find the back of the net, so do not be surprised if a West Ham goal adds extra drama to the title race.
Tip 2: Arsenal to win to nil @ 17/20
The Gunners hold a slender goal difference advantage over Manchester City, so should the reigning champions slip up and draw against the Hammers, Arsenal would claim the title with victory.
Mikel Arteta’s men have been defensively resolute this season - keeping four clean sheets across their last five games - and have been in free-scoring form, suggesting they should be able to comfortably see off Everton at the Emirates and do their part to keep the pressure on the Citizens.
Tip 3: Liverpool to win and over 3.5 goals @ 4/5
An emotional day is expected on Merseyside as Anfield bids farewell to legendary manager Jurgen Klopp and the perfect goodbye could be given with a high-scoring victory over struggling Wolves.
Each of Liverpool’s last three Premier League fixtures have seen winners in the over 3.5 goals market while the visitors have been in torrid form as of late, winning just one of their last 10 in all competitions and losing four of their last five.
Wolves have netted in each of their last three and could, at best, grab a consolation goal at Anfield. However, Liverpool have netted 12 goals across their last five league games and should be able to give Klopp a winning send-off.
Tip 4: Chelsea to win and over 3.5 goals @ 13/10
Chelsea can return to the European stage if they avoid defeat to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues are unlikely to settle for a draw and should win in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.
There have been over 3.5 goals in 12 of Chelsea’s last 15 matches in all competitions and the hosts should be able to create plenty of opportunities against the Cherries, who have lost three of their last five.
