Leeds vs Newcastle Predictions

Leeds come into this one knowing that it may be win or bust for them as their battle against relegation continues. The 30 points they have collected means they currently sit in 19th in the table, two points short of Everton and safety with three games left to play. While playing at home is ideal, they know they take on a Newcastle side in fine form.

The Magpies arrive for this one still fighting to ensure they secure a top-four spot this term. Liverpool in fifth are just three points behind them, although Newcastle will be confident they can see out the rest of the season in the top-four with a win here. Having been beaten by Arsenal in their last game, Newcastle will be aiming to get back to winning ways at the first time of asking. 

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest Predictions

Chelsea finally ended their woeful run as they downed Bournemouth in a 3-1 win. While few will cite that the 'old' Chelsea is back, this win should serve as a real boost for the players ahead of their final four games. The Blues sit in 11th in the table, 21 points behind Manchester United in fourth. With European football out of the question, Chelsea are now playing for pride and a top-half finish.

Nottingham Forest were given a huge boost in their last game as they defeated Southampton 4-3 in a thrilling clash. This win saw the side move up to 16th in the table, three points clear of Leicester and the relegation zone. A win in this one could see them go five clear of the relegation zone if result go their way, although they have it all to do in London. 

Manchester United vs Wolves Predictions

Manchester United have had to stomach two 1-0 defeats in as many games in the league as their place in the top-four has come under serious threat. United still hold the stronger hand right now, with a one-point lead over Liverpool with a game in hand. However, defeat in this one coupled with a win for Liverpool would see United slip down to fifth. Despite having a game in hand, questions will be asked of United if they are to lose three in a row. This one is a must-win. 

Wolves have managed to turn their season around in supreme style, with the side up to 13th in the table with 40 points. With a 10-point gap between themselves and Leicester in 18th with three games to go, the Wanderers have secured their place in the league for next season. While this would usually see a team lose some intensity, Wanderers will still want to give their hosts a real game, and they will not make this easy for the home team. 

Everton vs Manchester City Predictions

Everton

Manchester City

Everton sit two-points clear of the relegation zone, but they will know that there are plenty of twists and turns left in the final few weeks of the season. Their 5-1 win over Brighton was the biggest result of their season as not only did they secure three points, but they also proved to themselves that they can still match and beat the better sides in the league. It is unfortunate for the home side that this win will be followed by a match against a Manchester City side that are yet to secure the title. 

City know they need to win this one to keep full control of top-spot in the league. Their 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the Champions League in the week will have taken its toll on the side, which means Pep Guardiola may choose to rotate his squad. Despite this, City should still have more than enough to defeat their struggling opponents.

Arsenal vs Brighton Predictions

Arsenal
Draw
Brighton
53.90%22.83%23.27%

Arsenal arrive for this one knowing that if they lose, their battle to win the Premier League title will likely be over. They sit a point behind Manchester City having played a game more. Defeat here coupled with a win for City would see the league leaders go four clear with a game in hand and only two matches left for the Gunners. Simply put, it is win or bust for the Gunners. 

Brighton arrive for this one after stomaching a sobering 5-1 loss to strugglers Everton in their last game. Of course, defeat will not dampen their exploits across the season, but it will serve as a reminder that if their levels drop, then opposition across the league is good enough to beat them. While Brighton will give Arsenal a hard time in this clash, this doesn't seem like a match they will win. 


Leicester vs Liverpool Predictions

Leicester are edging towards slipping out of the Premier League after really struggling this season. Eight wins in 35 attempts is disappointing, and they are two points short of Everton and safety. While safety is not out of sight yet, defeat here and a win for Everton and Nottingham Forest above them would likely see Leicester's fate sealed. 

Liverpool arrive at the King Power Stadium a single point short of Manchester United and the top-four spots. With the promise of Champions League football so close, the Reds have been like a team possessed in their hunt to finish in the top-spots. While the Reds have not been perfect on the road, they will fancy their chances in this one.
