class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In fine form going forward and in defence, Al Hain-Cole is backing Arteta's team to ease past a Seagulls side missing some firepower in attack

Arsenal will be hoping to finish their Premier League season on a high when they welcome Brighton to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta has endured a difficult first full campaign in charge, although comes into this final match on the back of a four-game winning streak in the league.

Arsenal vs Brighton Latest Odds

Three points adrift of Tottenham and European qualification, they are priced at 3/5 (1.60) with bet365 to potentially leapfrog their rivals with a victory in front of the returning supporters.

However, the Seagulls have won three and lost just one of the last six encounters between the sides and can be backed at 17/4 (5.25) to come out on top once again or 16/5 (4.20) to claim a creditable draw.

Arsenal vs Brighton Team News

Matt Ryan is ineligible to face his parent club, while Hector Bellerin and David Luiz are both doubtful due to injury.

Danny Welbeck is unlikely to feature against his former employers after going off with a hamstring injury in Tuesday’s win over Manchester City, with Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Solly March, and Davy Propper sidelined and Neal Maupay suspended.

Arsenal vs Brighton Preview

After signing off in style in front of their own fans by coming from 2-0 down to beat the champions 3-2, Graham Potter’s men will now be aiming to spoil the party as they travel to north London.

This challenge is made more difficult by the absence of both Welbeck and Maupay in attack, particularly given their struggle for goals on the road recently.

Having scored just seven times in their last 11 away matches, they will be up against it to overcome a Gunners backline that has only conceded twice in five fixtures.

What’s more, the hosts are in strong form and have the incentive of attempting to salvage some pride from a below-par season by finishing above Spurs and Everton in seventh – something that seemed unlikely for large parts of the campaign.

Arsenal vs Brighton Tips and Predictions

Considering Brighton have just five points to their name from the last available 21 on the road and have scored only five times during that run, odds of 7/4 (2.75) look like solid value on Arsenal making it five league wins in a row while collecting a third clean sheet in five.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Whites have been involved in a host of high-scoring Premier League fixtures this season and our tipster is backing another at Elland Road

Leeds United will be looking to round off a spectacular first season back in the Premier League when they welcome West Brom to Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men have exceeded all expectations by picking up 56 points so far, winning 17 games to secure a top-half finish after 16 years away from the top-flight.

Leeds United vs West Brom Latest Odds

Having won their last three games, bet365 make Leeds just 4/9 (1.44) to put on a treat for the returning fans by taking the points against relegated West Brom.

The Baggies will surely be hoping to at least end a thoroughly disappointing campaign with victory but they are out at 11/2 (6.50) to do just that.

All of the hosts’ five draws have come against teams above them and it is 4/1 (5.0) that they share the spoils against the team in 19th.

Leeds United vs West Brom Team News

Mateusz Klich and Robin Koch have both been given leave ahead of Euro 2020, which could also mean Liam Cooper, Diego Llorente, Rodrigo, Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford and Gjanni Alioski all get at least some rest ahead of their potential selections for the tournament.

Branislav Ivanovic and former Leeds winger Robert Snodgrass are both injured as Sam Allardyce manages his final West Brom game.

Leeds United vs West Brom Preview

Leeds United’s entertaining and open style of play has earned them plenty of plaudits this season, and Bielsa does not look like letting up as the campaign winds down.

Only Manchester United’s games have seen more goals than the Whites and the fact that Sunday’s hosts have scored nine times in their last three only serves to prove they will keep going until the final whistle blows.

Whilst Leeds have managed two clean sheets in their last two, West Brom have actually been surprisingly potent in the final third recently, despite being relegated, with 14 goals in their last eight – scoring in all but one of those matches.

Leeds United vs West Brom Tips and Predictions

Given the strong goalscoring form of these sides and with nothing to play for, backing both teams to score in a game which features over 2.5 goals at 10/11 (1.91) looks to be the best bet for this Premier League clash.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>A point will guarantee the Hammers' place in next season's Europa League and Goal is backing them to come away with an entertaining victory on Sunday

West Ham United are looking to confirm their place in next season’s Europa League when they welcome Southampton to London Stadium on the final day of this season’s Premier League.

There is no doubt that the Hammers are the surprise package, having gone from a 16th-place finish last term to within a point of qualifying for Europe this time around.

West Ham United vs Southampton Latest Odds

David Moyes’ men claimed a valuable 3-1 win at West Brom on Wednesday and are 13/20 (1.65) favourites with bet365 to follow that up with another victory this weekend.

A point would be enough for the hosts to secure sixth and it is 3/1 (4.0) that they play out a draw – as happened when these sides met in the reverse fixture in December.

Defeat would leave West Ham sweating on the results of both Tottenham and Everton, and the online bookmaker go 4/1 (5.0) that Southampton spoil the party in east London.

West Ham United vs Southampton Team News

Lukasz Fabianski and Manuel Lanzini are both injured for West Ham but Arthur Masuaku could return after six weeks out.

Ralph Hasenhuttl will be without Ryan Bertrand and Will Smallbone, while Oriol Romeu and Che Adams both face late fitness tests.

West Ham United vs Southampton Preview

Despite being in the top six almost every week since the end of January, two wins and three losses in their last six games have left West Ham with work to do on the final day.

Their 3-1 comeback success over West Brom in midweek should give them plenty of confidence though, especially against a Southampton side with nothing to play for and which has lost 14 of their last 20 in the top-flight.

That said, the Hammers have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 10 and may struggle to keep out their visitors, who have netted in eight of their most recent 11 Premier League matches.

West Ham United vs Southampton Tips and Predictions

Despite only needing a point, Moyes is unlikely to rest on his laurels given how leaky West Ham’s defence can be. With that in mind, the 11/5 (3.20) price on a home win in which both teams score at bet365 offers decent value for what should be an entertaining fixture at the London Stadium.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Red Devils look set to rotate ahead of the Europa League final but Goal still expects them to have plenty of joy in this Premier League outing

Manchester United will be hoping to end their Premier League season on a high note when they travel to Molineux to face Wolves.

Click Here: state of origin rugby jersey

Second place was confirmed for the Red Devils on Tuesday night and after three games without a win, will be looking to take some positive momentum into Wednesday’s Europa League final.

Wolves vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Given the likelihood of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer playing a rotated team to avoid any injuries for midweek, bet365 make United 17/10 (2.70) outsiders to pick up their 21st victory of an impressive season.

Wolves have won only three of their last 12 Premier League matches and can be backed at 31/20 (2.55) to secure 12th place with three points.

Four of the last eight meetings between these teams have finished in a draw and another stalemate is available at 12/5 (3.40).

Wolves vs Manchester United Team News

Jonny, Pedro Neto, Raul Jimenez and Daniel Podence are all out until next season and Owen Otasowie has a knock which may exclude him from Sunday.

Harry Maguire, Anthony Martial, Dan James, Scott McTominay and Fred are all set to be left out as they look to recover from their respective injuries in time for Wednesday, whilst the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani are unlikely to feature too heavily.

Wolves vs Manchester United Preview

United’s season is ending with somewhat of a whimper rather than a bang, although the hard work was done earlier on and Solskjaer can rest easy heading into the Europa League final.

Remaining unbeaten away from home will still be the goal for the Red Devils and even with a rotated starting XI, they should be able to put in a strong performance against a struggling Wolves side as they did against Leicester City only two weeks ago.

Indeed, the hosts are not only struggling for consistency as they have done for most of the season, but they are also fairly leaky at the back with 18 goals conceded in their last 12 in the top-flight.

Wolves vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Man United’s fringe players will be looking to make a case for being included in the Europa League final and bet365’s 5/4 (2.25) price on them scoring more than once at Molineux provides plenty of value.

This lineup is set to be somewhere between the eleven that started against Leicester and the Red Devils’ usual starting side, and that should be enough to breach Wolves’ defence multiple times.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having looked less stable at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole thinks the Blues will have to fight hard for victory against Smith's confident team

Chelsea will be aiming to secure their place in the Premier League’s top four when they travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa on Sunday.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are a point ahead of both Liverpool and Leicester in third place, meaning anything less than victory could see them drop out of the Champions League places on the final day.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Having won seven and lost none of the last eight games against this opposition, they are 9/20 (1.45) favourites with bet365 to make sure of third place by coming out on top here.

The Villans can finish no higher or lower than 11th place but are available at 11/2 (6.50) to give their returning fans a memorable send off to a successful season by pulling off a shock win.

These sides shared a 1-1 draw in December’s reverse encounter at Stamford Bridge, and you can get odds of 15/4 (4.75) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Team News

Matthew Cash, Morgan Sanson and Trezeguet are all ruled out due to injury, while Ross Barkley is ineligible to face his parent club.

N’Golo Kante is a doubt after being forced off in Tuesday’s win over Leicester with a minor injury, although Kai Havertz should return from the hamstring injury that he picked up in last weekend’s FA Cup final defeat.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Preview

Having scuppered Tottenham’s European qualification bid with a 2-1 away win in midweek, Dean Smith’s team will be looking to do the same against a team that must have one eye on their upcoming Champions League final.

Boosted by the return of fans to the stadium and Jack Grealish’s comeback from a long injury, they will go into this clash in high spirits and optimistic of getting on target for the ninth match in 10.

Indeed, the Blues’ previously watertight defence has now gone four matches without a clean sheet, having kept 18 in the previous 24 fixtures in all competitions.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Although likely to prove too strong as they push for a crucial three points, odds of 8/5 (2.60) seem generous on Chelsea coming out on top despite seeing goals at both ends for Villa’s ninth match in 10.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This fixture has produced plenty of goals over the last few years and Goal expects yet more entertainment on the final day of the Premier League

Premier League champions Manchester City welcome Everton to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon as Pep Guardiola’s men aim to round off a memorable campaign in style.

The Citizens have cantered to their third title in four years and with fans allowed into the stadium to see them lift the trophy this weekend, they will no doubt want to put in a strong performance.

There is also the small matter of City’s first ever Champions League final next weekend, so they are likely to keep something in reserve as they prepare to face Chelsea in that.

Manchester City vs Everton Latest Odds

City have lost three of their last six Premier League matches, although that run has not had any bearing on their season.

The hosts are priced at 4/9 (1.44) to claim a victory with bet365 while the draw can be backed at 4/1 (5.00).

Everton need to better Tottenham’s result against Leicester and Arsenal’s versus Brighton to have any chance of reaching the newly-formed UEFA Conference League, and they are offered at 11/2 (6.50) to give themselves the best chance of doing so by beating the champions.

Manchester City vs Everton Team News

It remains to be seen how many players Guardiola choses to rest ahead of next weekend’s Champions League final, but Joao Cancelo is suspended, while Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan are all doubtful and unlikely to be risked.

The visitors are without Jean-Philippe Gbamin who has a knee injury, although James Rodriguez could return after missing Everton’s last game with fatigue.

Manchester City vs Everton Preview

The hosts’ last few matches have been full of goals and excitement, with a 4-3 win at Newcastle followed by a 3-2 defeat at Brighton.

Something similar could unfold at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday with City hoping to entertain but also perhaps lacking full concentration at the back.

The previous league meeting saw them play out an entertaining encounter at Goodison Park where City eventually triumphed 3-1, and taking the tally of goals to 35 in the most recent 11 encounters.

Indeed, both teams to score has paid out in seven of the last nine league clashes and backing more strikes on Sunday makes plenty of sense.

Manchester City vs Everton Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/5 (1.80) and looks like an excellent selection, while combining this bet with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to 11/10 (2.10).

Five of the last six games between City and Everton have seen goals at both ends and at least three goals, making this a highly attractive option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Europa League finals tend to produce plenty of goals and Wednesday night's showpiece in Poland should prove to be another open and entertaining clash

Click Here: Russia soccer tracksuit

Manchester United face Villarreal on Wednesday evening in the Europa League final at the Gdansk Arena in a meeting of two sides with contrasting experience.

The Yellow Submarine have never featured in a continental showpiece, while the Red Devils won this competition four years ago and have also been European champions on three occasions.

With that in mind, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are clear favourites to triumph in Poland and claim what would be their first piece of silverware since 2017.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Unai Emery has an exceptional record in this competition, having won it three times, but his team are priced at 15/4 (4.75) to win in 90 minutes and at 2/1 (3.00) to lift the trophy with bet365.

United, meanwhile, are offered at 4/5 (1.80) to win without extra time and at 2/5 (1.40) to be crowned champions.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Team News

The hosts are likely to be without winger Samu Chukweze and midfielder Vicente Iborra is unlikely to feature despite returning to training last week after five months out, although on-loan Tottenham defender Juan Foyth has could be fit enough.

United captain Harry Maguire faces a late fitness test but does not look likely to play a part along with injured pair Anthony Martial and Phil Jones.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Preview

Villarreal are understandably big underdogs against one of the giants of world football, yet Emery’s team will be far from an easy prospect for United.

The Valencia-based side have an extremely strong scoring record, netting in 23 of their last 25 matches in all competitions, and in Gerard Moreno they boast one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe.

Man United have also been strong in the final third, scoring in 18 of their most recent 19 matches, while in the Europa League they have scored in every game they have played apart from the second leg of their clash with Real Sociedad where they already had a 4-0 aggregate lead.

Europa League finals tend to be open affairs, with the last six finals producing a total of 24 goals, and backing another entertaining encounter looks like a smart move. 

Villarreal vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is offered at the extremely healthy looking price of 19/20 (1.95), given both sides’ respective scoring records. 

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The final of this season's Europa League sees two attacking sides go head-to-head in Poland and Goal has taken a look at the likely goalscorers

Manchester United face Villarreal in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening in what promises to be an open and exciting showpiece.

Both sides boast excellent scoring records heading into the match in Gdansk and there are plenty of players who will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Latest Goalscorer Odds

Leading bet365’s anytime goalscorer market are Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes, with each offered at the very tempting price of  13/8 (2.62) to find the back of the net.

Those two players are United’s joint top scorers in the competition, having each bagged five Europa League goals this term and finished the domestic season strongly.

Mason Greenwood is also offered at the same price, although the teenager has only scored once in the tournament and may not be picked to start in Poland.

Villarreal’s shortest-priced players are Gerard Moreno and Paco Alcacer, who are both available at 12/5 (3.40) .

Of the two, Moreno is the much more appealing option at those odds because of how absolutely vital the Spain striker is for Villarreal.

Indeed, he scored nearly four times as many goals as Alcacer in La Liga this season, claiming 23 strikes to his partner’s six, although both do have six in Europe.

Elsewhere in the market, Paul Pogba scored in United’s 6-2 win over Roma in the semi-final and is offered at 9/2 (5.50) , while Villarreal’s midfield metronome Dani Parejo can be backed at 4/1 (5.00) to net what would be his first continental goal for the club.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

There should be plenty of interest in backing Gerard Moreno to score at 12/5 (3.40) given how generous this price looks for an in-form striker who has netted 29 goals this season.

The Yellow Submarine have scored in 23 of their last 25 competitive matches and if they are to do so once more in Poland, their most prolific player looks the most likely candidate.

For a value bet, backing Bruno Fernandes to open the scoring at 5/1 (6.00) could appeal with eight of the Portuguese’s 18 Premier League goals this term having broken the deadlock, while in the Europa League two of his four strikes have been the first of the game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Well rested and full of confidence, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to complete their treble when they face a Blues team that has lost its way

Manchester City will be hoping to land their elusive first Champions League title when they take on Chelsea in Saturday’s final at the Estadio Do Dragao.

Pep Guardiola’s men have dominated domestically since his arrival, winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four Carabao Cups.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Having reached the final of this competition for the first time, they are 5/6 (1.83) favourites with bet365 to finally translate that success to the continental stage by coming out on top in Porto.

However, the Blues have recorded two victories over this opposition within the last few weeks and are available at 18/5 (4.60) to make it three in a row to lift this trophy for the second time in their history.

Just one of the last 16 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them taking this clash into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Team News

Ilkay Gundogan should be fit to start after being kept on the bench in the 5-0 final day win over Everton, leaving Guardiola with a fully fit squad to choose from.

Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante will be optimistic of taking their places in the starting line-up after returning to full training following injury.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview

After setting down a marker with their 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium three weeks ago, Thomas Tuchel’s team now come into this final in far less intimidating shape.

Indeed, they were relieved to scrape into the Premier League’s top four despite losing against Aston Villa on the final day, a third defeat in a run of four matches that also included their upset against Leicester in the FA Cup final.

In contrast, the Citizens demonstrated their embarrassment of riches by thrashing Everton 5-0 in their last league game, having recalled the likes of Kevin De Bruyne to the starting line-up after largely resting key players since tying up the league title a couple of weeks ago.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Likely to come into the game feeling the fresher and more confident side, City now look well worth those 5/6 (1.83) odds to overcome a Chelsea team they finished 19 points ahead of in the league.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having played a key role in bringing the Citizens to their first ever Champions League final, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Algerian to star in Porto

While Sergio Aguero will be dreaming of firing Manchester City to their first ever Champions League win on his final appearance for the club, Pep Guardiola is likely to look elsewhere for inspiration against Chelsea on Saturday.

The Citizens’ boss has collected this season’s Premier League title and Carabao Cup trophy without really relying on any strikers, instead usually deploying a midfielder to lead the line.

Indeed, Ilkay Gundogan is the team’s top scorer this season with 17 goals in all competitions and can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) with bet365 to open the scoring at the Estadio Do Dragao.

However, having scored just one club goal since mid-March, the Germany international may not be the most tempting anytime bet at 2/1 (3.00) in the final.

Instead, Riyad Mahrez looks like excellent value at 12/5 (3.40) considering his form in this competition, having scored three times in the semi-final victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

In fact, the former Leicester City star has hit all four of his Champions League goals for the season in the last three fixtures and is certainly worth backing at those odds to get on target once again.

Having found the net in three of his last four appearances against his former club, Kevin De Bruyne also looks a strong option at 11/5 (3.20) to score for the fourth match in six in this competition.

At the other end of the pitch, Timo Werner will be hoping to end a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge on a high.

The German international has managed just 12 goals in all competitions since his big money move from RB Leipzig and is an 8/1 (9.00) long shot to break the deadlock and priced at 3/1 (4.00) to score anytime.

Similarly, Kai Havertz is yet to really live up to the record transfer fee the Blues paid Bayer Leverkusen for his services last summer but is available at 7/2 (4.50) to deliver on the biggest stage in Portugal.

On the scoresheet in both of Chelsea’s successive wins against City, Hakim Ziyech is a potentially lucrative 9/2 (5.50) anytime option to put one past them for the third meeting in a row.
