Chelsea v Everton Betting Preview
A final day match between two clubs who will be losing their respective managers at the end of the season. Chelsea will be brimming with confidence at home after winning the Europa League final in the week, and they are the ones with everything to play for. A win secures third place in the league for them, whereas Everton have to settle for nothing less and nothing more than sixth in the league. Will it be Rafa Benitez or David Moyes who signs off from their current employment with a win?

Chelsea v Everton Recommended Bet:
The Blues could end up in total tie with Arsenal, by finishing the season with exactly the same records. That will happen if Chelsea draw their match and Arsenal land a certain one goal win depending on however many the Blues net. If that happens, then Chelsea and Arsenal will have a one match play off to settle third place and a place in the group stage of the Champions League. Chelsea can avoid all of that hassle though by winning the match which will see them finish in third. A draw for Chelsea and a win for Arsenal by a two goal margin or greater would see the Gunners leapfrog the Blues. So one last effort from Rafa Benitez’s men is needed and they should be full of fire after beating Benfica to the punch in the Europa League final. Their European ventures aside, the Blues have been in good Premier League form as well so they are favourites to take the win they may need.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches, winning five of those. Their form against the other top six sides this season has been great, taking the most points off fellow top six sides than any of the others. The weight of Chelsea’s season can clearly be seen by this being their 69th match, whereas this will be just Everton’s 45th. Chelsea have lost just twice this season in posting a W11 D5 L2 record and they have scored at a rate of 2.17 goals per game and have conceded at a rate of 0.8 per game at home this term. This should set them up well for a win. Just 50% of their home games though have gone over 2.5 goals this season. Everton of course will pose their threats and they have won their last five matches on the final day of the day of the season (one of them a win over Chelsea back in 2010/11).

Everton’s form at Stamford Bridge hasn’t been great through, winning just one of their last twenty Premier League visits there. Steven Pienaar could be worth watching as First Goalscorer, as he has scored in the opening five minutes in the last two matches against the Blues in the Premier League. A reason why Everton have fallen outside of the European places is they they have taken just four points from eleven away matches against the current top five in the Premier League this season. In total in London, Everton have won just three of twenty matches in the capital since the start of the 2009/10 season. Everton are on a three match unbeaten streak at the moment, and have lost just one of their last ten in the top flight. Away from home, the Toffees haven’t recorded a win in their last seven though. In fact Everton have only recorded four away wins all season in a W4 D9 L5 record this term. They have scored and conceded 21 goals on their travels this season.

Six of the last 12 Premier League meetings between the two have ended in a draw, and they have split wins between them in the other six matches. So this could well be a tight match and three of the last four matches between them at the Bridge in all competitions have ended in a draw. Could be worth looking at a draw for value at 14/5 with online bookmaker BetFred.

Tottenham v Sunderland Betting Preview
Everything is on the line for Tottenham in this one and they really have to go for the jugular in this one. They have to do better than what Arsenal do on the final day of the season, in order to take fourth in the Premier League and get into the Champions League next season. They will go as hot favourites at home to put the pressure on the Gunners, going up against Sunderland, who are struggling for form.

Tottenham v Sunderland Recommended Bet:
Spurs start one point behind Arsenal going into Sunday. However, they are far worse off in the goal difference stats than the Gunners are. That means if Arsenal lose and Spurs only manage to draw, Andre Villas-Boas’s men will remain in fifth place. A draw for Arsenal and a win for Spurs would get Tottenham into fourth place. So plenty to play for and many will be getting behind them to deliver here. They are in good form at the moment, going unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches. They are actually on a sequence of WDWDWDW, so if that follows then they should draw. Tottenham have lost just one of their last twelve home matches in the Premier League and they have posted a very good W10 D5 L3 record at White Hart Lane this season. They have won their last two back to back on home turf as well, beating Man City and Southampton.

Spurs have actually come through a tough sequence of games without defeat, having faced up against Everton, Man City and Chelsea recently. So they have been showing a lot of fight as well and they have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven matches. Spurs have averaged just over one and a half goals per game this season at home, having conceded at a rate of exactly one per game. Spurs have lost just one of their last eleven home matches in the Premier League against Sunderland, winning nine of them too. At home, Spurs have won eight and lost one of their last twelve at home, so should be pretty solid in this one. Emmanuel Adebayor is hot at the moment, having scored five in the last six EPL appearances. With just one win in their last eight against Spurs, the Black Cats go as firm outsiders in this one. Under new boss Paolo Di Canio, they have posted W2 D2 L2.

No side has scored fewer goals in the opening and closing 15 minutes of matches this season than Sunderland have. On the road, the Black Cats have posted just a W4 D4 L10 record for the season, and they have recorded a draw in their last thirteen. They have scored in each of their last seven away matches though. The Black Cats head into this one on the back of two 1-1 draws, and they have scored at just a rate of 1.17 goals per game away from home this season. Spurs took a 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light earlier in the season and the Lilywhites won this corresponding fixture last season 1-0.

Newcastle v Arsenal Betting Preview
The Magpies can rest easy in their final match of the season, having warded off the demons of relegation which looked to be haunting them. Alan Pardew’s men will live to fight another season. So all of the pressure is on the visiting Arsenal for this one, who need to rattle off a win to be certain of finishing fourth and getting into the Champions League next season. The math is simple for the Gunners, do better than Spurs on the final day and they are in.

Newcastle v Arsenal Recommended Bet:
The Magpies found points just at the right time of the season, even though they have won one of their last five in the Premier League. That was an away win at QPR last week after falling behind from the penalty spot in the game. Newcastle are without a win in their last two home matches though, both ending in defeat, losing 3-0 against Sunderland in the Tyne and Wear derby, and then getting hammered 6-0 by Liverpool. Overall this season on home turf, Newcastle have posted a W9 D1 L8 record and there hasn’t been a league draw at St James Park in the last sixteen. Scoring from Newcastle at home hasn’t been great this season, they have converted at a rate of 1.3 goals per game, conceding at a rate of 1.6 per game. 72% of all of Newcastle’s home games have gone over 2.5 goals.

Newcastle suffered a massive 7-3 defeat at the hands of Arsenal earlier in the season. The Magpies have only won one of their last eleven Premier League matches against the Gunners (W1 D5 L5). They have failed to score in their last two home games as well, and the last time they went three in a row was back in 2007 (actually part of a six match no-scoring streak). Arsene Wenger’s men will be favourite for this one, not only because they have to push for a result to secure a Champions League spot, but because they have won their last four away matches in a row as well. A midweek win over Wigan, relegating the Latics, saw the Gunners leave themselves in fourth place, just a point ahead of Spurs, and only two behind Chelsea.

There is the scenario, that if Chelsea draw and Arsenal win by a one goal margin (all depending on how many goals the Blues score) that the Gunners and Chelsea would finish with identical records for the season and have to face in each other in a play off for third. Arsenal have been great in the second half of matches this season, if only second half results counted, they would be top of the league. The Gunners are currently on a nine match unbeaten streak in the Premier League, winning seven of them. With five wins in their last six away matches in the top flight, they are going strongly enough to return three points. Arsenal have scored at a rate of 1.3 goals per game on the road this season, but defensively they have been great, superb, conceding at a rate of just 0.8 per away game.

The Gunners have scored in each of their last eleven away matches now and have a good record going against the Magpies. Should be an away win at the end of the day and just worth rolling with the Gunners at 4/7 with online bookmaker Paddy Power

A massive game for both of these sides on Tuesday night. The Gunners slipped out of the top four on the weekend thanks to wins for Chelsea and Spurs. A win for the Gunners would put them a point ahead of North London rivals Spurs in fourth place with one game to play. As for Wigan, fans will be hoping that they won’t be suffering an FA Cup final hangover, because anything less than a win at the Emirates will see the Latics relegated.

Arsenal v Wigan Recommended Bet:
The Gunners still could yet claim a third place finish in the league, but would need to claim maximum points from their two remaining fixtures and have Chelsea drop points in their last game. All Arsenal can control now is their own wins, and if they keep winning they will be in the Champions League next season. That is all Arsene Wenger’s men can focus on. This could be a comfortable home match in which to get three precious points on the board in as well. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last eight matches in the Premier League now, winning six of those. There has only been one defeat in the last fourteen for them, so they are in the form to deliver. Defensively they have kept three clean sheets in the last four Premier League League matches, but have only scored three goals themselves in that run.

It was just a 1-0 win at the DW Stadium for the Gunners earlier in the season too, a penalty from Mikel Arteta sealing the points. Arsenal have posted a W10 D5 L3 record at home this season, and have scored there at a rate of 2.4 goals per game. That is why they are going as favourite, and their home form has seen them go eight matches at the Emirates without a loss. They have proven to be strong finishers this season, scoring 18 goals and conceding just two in the final fifteen minutes of play all season. The Gunners have drawn their last two home games though with three of their last four EPL matches going under 1.5 goals. So is there a window for Wigan? This is a tough game to play after the emotional FA Cup win at Wembley on the weekend. Interestingly, in their 34th match of last season, Wigan went to Arsenal and won (their only away win at the Gunners in the top flight) which helped them pull off their great survival act.

The Latics are struggling having taken just five points away from their last six games in the Premier League. There are only three teams who have taken fewer points in that same period. Wigan have won just one of their last four away games in the Premier League, and have, overall this season on the road, posted a W5 D3 L10 record. The Latics have scored two or more goals in each of their last three Premier League fixtures, but there have just been signs that their survival act has been running out of steam a little bit. Will they become the first ever side to win the FA Cup and get relegated from the Premier League in the same season?

The odds are really against Wigan in this one, given Arsenal’s good home form. Wigan have to keep things tight early on, but Arsenal should have enough to edge this. A Draw/Arsenal Half Time/Full Time bet is trading at a decent price of 3/1 at online bookmaker Bet365.

The impetus is all on Spurs for this one. A couple of weeks ago, survival was the order of the day for the Potters, but they have recovered well over the last few games to get to mid table safety. So all that is at stake in this one is the fate of Spurs in Europe next season. They need a win to keep themselves in the hunt for a Champions League spot. They head into the weekend in fifth, a point behind Arsenal and three behind third placed Chelsea. They need some help to squeeze in, but need to give themselves a chance by winning at the Britannia.

Stoke v Tottenham Recommended Bet:
After struggling for wins since the start of the year, Stoke suddenly turned things around, winning two of their last three. They came at the right time as well, because prior to that, running up seven defeats in eight matches had seen Tony Pulis’s men slumping towards the drop zone. Wins over QPR and Norwich helped pull them clear, and they earned a 1-1 draw at Sunderland last Monday as well. It could have been more as they were in front and the Black Cats were down to ten men early in the game, but the Potters took their foot off the pedal and paid for it. Still, they have conceded just one goal in their last three games now and it has been a welcome upswing for the Potters. They are safe up in eleventh heading into the weekend, six points clear of the drop zone but with a healthy enough goal difference to not worry about relegation.

Stoke’s form at the Britannia this season has seen them record a W7 D7 L4 record, but their goal scoring exploits haven’t exactly been overwhelming. They average just 1.11 goals per game at the Britannia this season, the exact same amount which they have conceded. Just 39% of their home games this season have gone over 2.5 goals. Stoke are unbeaten in their last three Premier League matches with Spurs, winning one and drawing two. All four previous meetings between them at the Britannia have ended in a 2-1 scoreline, with two wins apiece, so a good trend to ride perhaps. Will the defensive efforts of Stoke frustrate Spurs at a crucial time for the London side? Andre Villas-Boas’s men earned a late 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in the week, enough to keep them in the hunt for a Champions League place, but they really need to win this one. They only managed a 0-0 home draw against the Potters earlier in the season, they’ll need more than that.

Spurs have posted a W9 D4 L5 record on the road this season and they have scored in each of their last seven away from White Hart Lane. With a two goal haul against Chelsea in the week, Spurs have scored an average of just under two goals per away game this term. They have drawn their last two on the road though (both 2-2 draws) but have only lost one of their last ten away from home. Gareth Bale has scored in 10 of Tottenham’s 18 away games this season in the top flight and if Spurs score two at the Britannia, they will equal their record of two or more goals in six successive Premier League away matches. Spurs have scored twelve goals in their last six Premier League matches in total, and only Aston Villa have hauled in more during that time.

Spurs have the goals in them, that’s been proven, but Stoke can be such a stubborn side, they may take some breaking down. Spurs really don’t have any other option but to go hard for this and therefore would consider a Draw/Tottenham Full Time/Half Time bet for a price of 7/2 at online bookmaker Paddy Power.

Aston Villa v Chelsea Recommended Bet:
This will be a great chance for Chelsea to deliver so that they can be able to relax next weekend in their final fixture. They go into the weekend three points clear of fifth placed Spurs, but Chelsea have such a huge goal difference advantage over Tottenham that a victory over Aston Villa would secure them a place in next season’s Champions League. That has been the goal for a long time, since they really never got themselves in the Premier League title race. They have been doing it the hard way as well, having had to face Liverpool, Man United and Spurs in three of their last four matches and have come away unbeaten. After a 2-2 draw with Spurs at Stamford Bridge in the week, Chelsea stretched their unbeaten streak to six matches in the top flight.

On the road this season, Chelsea have posted a W9 D4 L5 record, with a 50% success rate and they have scored at a rate of almost 1.8 goals per game on the road. They are unbeaten in their last three away from the Bridge and two of them have come with clean sheets in tow as well, so they are shaping up quite well. Chelsea of course thumped Aston Villa just before Christmas 8-0 at Stamford Bridge at the back end of last year (that was the last match in which Fernando Torres scored a league goal too). The Blues have also won two of their last four Premier League visits to Villa Park (W2 D1 L1). Midfielder Oscar has scored three goals in his last four now in the Premier League for the Blues. They do have the distraction of the Europa League final in midweek to worry about. Will that set them back a bit on the weekend?

Aston Villa have not kept a clean sheet in their last 25 matches, so the chances are that the Blues will get on the scoresheet. Villa start eh weekend five points clear of the drop zone, so they have probably done enough to survive. They have been boosted massively by back to back wins in their last two matches, beating Sunderland and Norwich to give themselves some breathing space. Villa have only won five home matches this season in a W5 D5 L8 record and have only won one of the last three at Villa Park. Looking a little deeper they have three of their last six on home soil, crucial wins coming at the right time to avoid relegation. Villa have scored at a rate of 1.2 goals per game at home, and Christian Benteke has scored more Premier League goals during 2013 than any other player in the top flight. Gabriel Agbonlahor has been going well as well, scoring six in his last seven.

There should be goals in this one. Villa have conceded 13 times in the 15 minutes after half time this season. Therefore it could be worth looking at a Draw/Chelsea Half Time/Full Time bet for a price of 4/1 at online bookmaker Paddy Power.

Chelsea v Tottenham Betting Preview
The stakes couldn’t get much higher than for this London derby. Both sides are still in the mix for a place in the Champions League next season, along with Arsenal. But only two of them are going to get a spot. Both teams have been showing some good form and this has the makings of being a real classic. The Blues took an exciting three points away from White Hart Lane earlier in the season, winning 4-2. Doing the double over Tottenham would likely secure third place for Rafa Benitez’s men. Defeat for Spurs would leave their Champions League dreams hanging.

Chelsea v Tottenham Recommended Bet:
It is a massive week of action for both of these. Chelsea kicked it off well with a 1-0 at Old Trafford, a late strike by Juan Mata giving the Blues a crucial three points in their quest for securing a top three finish. If they do it, then they will certainly have done it the hard way. They have had the extra games in reaching the final of the Europa League on top as well, but somehow they are getting through it all. Their win at Old Trafford should have given them a massive boost and the Blues have been typically strong at home again this season, posting a W11 D4 L2 record. The goals have been coming steadily, at a rate of 2.18 per game at Stamford Bridge, while they have conceded at a rate of just 0.76 goals per game. That really puts them in good standing and Benitez has guided the Blues to six straight home wins.

The Blues have lost just one of their last eight in the Premier League all told, and they have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches, five in their last eight. It was Juan Mata with a double strike at White Hart Lane which helped Chelsea topple Spurs earlier in the season. There is the small matter of the Blues never having lost at home against Spurs in the Premier League either. But Spurs are just as desperate, if not more for the points. This is probably going to be pivotal game in their chase for a Champions League spot. It was that man Gareth Bale yet again who came to the rescue of Andre Villas-Boas’s men on the weekend, his 86th minute goal sinking the challenge of Southampton at White Hart Lane. That continued a streak of three consecutive Premier League games in which he has scored.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last five matches now, but they are on a trend of WDWDW, so there could be a draw up next for him. Spurs have posted a W9 D3 L5 record for the season and on the road, they have scored at a rate of 1.9 goals per game. Defensively, they haven’t been that sound though on their travels, conceding at a rate of 1.5 per game. They have also conceded in each of their last four away games, and they have scored in each of their last six. It is clearly the threat of Bale that Chelsea have to watch out for the most. But can Tottenham gain a win at the ground where they have struggled so much? They go into the game in fifth place, already two points adrift of fourth placed Arsenal. Defeat could be costly for Spurs here.

Chelsea have had a busy time of late and Spurs aren’t going to be a pushover. There shouldn’t be too much between them and a draw could be worth looking at in this one, but Spurs have lost four of their five away games against top seven teams this season and a Draw/Chelsea Half Time/Full Time bet at online bookmaker Bet365 for a price of 4/1 could be worth looking at.

Wigan v Swansea Betting Preview
Will it be a brave punter to go again Wigan pulling another win out of their hat? A repeat of their miraculous escape last season is on the cards for them, and with this being their game in hand, they need to deliver. After the weekend’s action, the Latics sat two points behind Sunderland in 17th, but a win for Wigan would pull them level with Norwich and Newcastle regardless of what happens with the Black Cats. Can they deliver at the DW Stadium? The winless form of Swansea could help the Latics along.

Wigan v Swansea Recommended Bet:
Roberto Martinez’s men still look to be cool under pressure when all around them seem to be sweating. They recorded a spirited win on the weekend, twice coming from behind to beat West Brom at the Hawthorns. Not an easy task, and that followed a 2-2 draw against Spurs in their last home match. The home form of the Latics has been pretty good, unbeaten in their last three, taking one loss in their last five. It is that kind of form which they need to keep going, and as good as it has read of late, they have only posted a W4 D5 L8 record at the DW Stadium this term. Following this crucial match in their fight for Premier League survival, Wigan will take a trip to Wembley next weekend to take on Man City in the FA Cup final, so they can’t get distracted by that. They are missing a couple of key pieces in Jean Beausejour and Maynor Figueroa.

Wigan have never beaten Swansea in the Premier League though, drawing one and losing two of their previous three encounters. It always seems a struggle for the Latics because they have conceded the opening goal 23 times this season, which hasn’t helped their overall cause. Wigan are going to have a busy time of things, and will have to face Arsenal and Aston Villa in their final two Premier League matches. This is probably going to be bigger than the FA Cup final for them. Swansea are slumping towards the end of the season after a promising start to 2013. They are without a win in their last seven matches now, taking only three points in that spell. Perhaps more worryingly, they have failed to score in four of those as well. They have gone their last three new without finding the back of the net and will likely miss top striker Michu for the rest of the season, as he limped off with a hamstring injury in their 0-0 draw against Man City on the weekend.

Swansea haven’t returned three points on the road very often this season, winning just four wins on the road. Michael Laudrup’s men have posted a W4 D5 L8 away record for the season and have scored just fifteen goals in those games, at a rate of 0.88 per game away from the Liberty Stadium. So they aren’t in the greatest form and that could be crucial for Wigan’s survival. The Swans have won only one of their eight games since they won the Capital One Cup, and they have lost their last six against clubs in the top half of the table.

The Latics are heavy favourites in this one and that speaks volumes about their character and the way they are playing. It could be worth backing a Draw/Wigan Half Time/Full Time bet for a price of 4/1 at online bookmaker 888Sport.

Sunderland v Stoke Betting Preview
The Black Cats are still nervously looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone. Wigan are just showing signs of survival and Sunderland can’t really afford any slip ups. Paolo Di Canio’s men need to show some fight following a 6-1 hammering from Aston Villa. Sunderland go into this game two points ahead of 18th placed Wigan, but like the Latics have a game in hand over teams above them, so could yet pull others into trouble. The Potters have finally discovered a bit of form though at the right time, pulling themselves away from the drop zone in 11th. But the margins are so thin, that a win for the Black Cats would put them level on points with the Potters.

Sunderland v Stoke Recommended Bet:
A win at this stage of the season would be huge for the Black Cats. Putting the poor performance at Aston Villa aside, they have won two of the last three and will look for some solace on home soil. Their form at home hasn’t been terrific though, winning just one of their last six at the Stadium of Light. That victory did come in their last match played there though, a 1-0 win over Everton. Overall this season, Sunderland have only posted a W5 D6 L6 record on home soil in the Premier League and problems can seen in the fact that they have scored just 18 goals at home this season and conceded 17. They are in decent shape against the potters though, winning three and drawing one of the last four at home against Stoke in the Premier League. More impressively is that Sunderland have kept clean sheets in each of those four matches.

When the two sides met at the Britannia earlier in the season, Sunderland failed to get a single shot on target. They haven’t exactly been helping themselves along this season, because they have conceded more free kicks in their defensive third than any other side in the top flight this season. Defeat here and the Black Cats would be sweating badly and their survival fate would be slipping away from their own hands. Stoke have posted back to back wins in their last two outings, beating both QPR and Norwich and keeping clean sheets in both of them. The away form of the Potters hasn’t been much to write home about this season, recording just two wins, along with six draws and nine defeats. If Sunderland’s scoring at home has been bad, Stoke’s goalscoring form away has been worst, averaging just 0.65 goals per game on their travels.

The two wins that Stoke have posted is the longest winning streak in the Premier League at the moment. Stoke have won just one of their last nine away from home (the victory coming against QPR in their away fixture). Of those nine matches, Stoke have lost six of them, so Tony Pulis’ men haven’t been backable with too much conviction. Given the circumstances of both, looking beyond a draw may not be too bad of an option in this one. With two low scoring sides, a 0-0 Correct Score is looking a decent option at 6/1 with online bookmaker Ladbrokes.

Man United v Chelsea Betting Preview
The Premier League champions are just seeing out the season, probably with nothing on their mind but a summer break. As for Chelsea, they have a big agenda at hand and a lot to play for. The Blues are battling hard to try and secure a top three finish, at worst a top four to try and enter the Champions League next season. They are having to do it the hard way, with the distraction of the Europa League as well as a really tough end of season fixture list to round out the Premier League campaign with.

Man United v Chelsea Recommended Bet:
The Red Devils have nothing left to prove in this one, but they may want some revenge after getting knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea. The Red Devils were in charge at Old Trafford going a couple of goals up early on, but then a superb second half fightback saw Chelsea take a draw and then beat United back at Stamford Bridge in the quarter finals. The league meeting between the two this season went in favour of Manchester United at Stamford Bridge back in October, taking a 3-2 win after the Blues on that occasion had fought back from two goals down to get to 2-2, before Javier Hernandez netted a winner fifteen minutes from time. The Mexican striker has netted six goals in his last eight meetings against Chelsea in all competitions, so could likely get a good run out on Sunday.

United are unbeaten in their last four Premier League meetings with Chelsea, winning three of them. The Red Devils have now scored in 66 consecutive Premier League home matches, a record in the EPL and in the last six clashes with Chelsea, there has been an average of 4.8 goals per game. So goals are on the cards. United’s home form has been superb this season, winning fifteen drawing none and losing just two with a 88% success rate. They have scored at a rate of 2.53 goals per game and that will make them an obvious threat. Especially with Chelsea having kept just one clean sheet at Old Trafford in their last seventeen visits there. It hasn’t been a particularly happy hunting ground for the Blues.

Rafa Benitez could yet finish the season with a bang, and no side in Premier League history who have amassed 65 points or more after 34 games, have ever finished outside of the top four. But Chelsea have to face Spurs and Everton in two of their last three matches after this one. So there is a huge amount of work to do. They have only managed one away win in their last six though, but overall in their last seven Premier League matches, they have suffered one defeat. Away from home Chelsea have posted a W8 D4 L5 record for the season and have scored at a rate of 1.8 goals per game, but have conceded at a rate of 1.3 per game. That may give United enough of a window to pinch this one.

The Blues are the ones with everything at stake here as they battle for a top four finish. There have been plenty of goals between the two sides lately and a simple Both Teams To Score bet for yes at 4/7 with online bookmaker Paddy Power should offer something.
