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.

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”>The hosts have been in excellent form in recent weeks and Goal is backing them to secure a Champions League berth by recording a high-scoring win

Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield on the final day of the Premier League season with Jurgen Klopp’s men hoping to secure Champions League football.

A win for the Reds would book their place in Europe’s premier club competition, while they could even afford to drop points provided they match Leicester City’s result at Tottenham.

Palace, meanwhile, have nothing but pride at stake but will want to give retiring manager Roy Hodgson a perfect send-off at the ground where he was in charge for six months back in 2010.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Latest Odds

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last nine league matches, recording seven wins and two draws – a run which has seen them make an unlikely charge into the top four.

The disastrous home form of a few months ago has been put behind them and bet365 offer Sunday’s hosts at 7/50 (1.14) to claim a victory.

Palace can be backed at 14/1 (15.00) to spoil the party with a win or claim a creditable draw at 15/2 (8.50).

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Team News

Jurgen Klopp has serious doubts over Diogo Jota and Naby Keita, while his long-term injury list remains one of the longest in the division with Jordan Henderson, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk and Ozan Kabak among those who are still sidelined.

Palace also have numerous absentees with James McArthur, Connor Wickham, Eberechi Eze, and Mamadou Sahko all out and Christian Benteke, Luka Milivojevic and Scott Dann all doutbful. 

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview

The Reds’ strong finish to the season has seen them rediscover their goalscoring touch, scoring 11 times in their last four, and even goalkeeper Alisson got in on the act with a dramatic winner at West Brom.

Given that a place in the Champions League is on the line, they should be backed to put in another big performance against a Palace team whose season has been effectively over for a while.

The Eagles have one of the leakiest defences on the road in the division, conceding 32 times away from home, and backing Liverpool to maintain the good feeling by putting a few goals past Vicente Guaita makes plenty of sense.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Tips and Predictions

Liverpool to win and score over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/6 (1.66), while backing the hosts to win with a -2 handicap at 11/10 (2.10) looks like an appealing 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

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.

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.
