EPL featured matches – Gameweek 37
EPL predictions: Chelsea vs Manchester United [16th May, 19:15 GMT]
This is a must-win match for Chelsea in their bid for a Champions League place, with five teams effectively chasing the final three places. If the Blues win their final two matches, they will be assured of a top five finish. However, they will have to finish the season without striker Nicolas Jackson, following his straight red card in the 2-0 defeat away to Newcastle on Sunday. With Christopher Nkunku sidelined through injury, Chelsea’s attacking options are limited.
Best bets: Chelsea – Manchester United | EPL
- Chelsea to Win to Nil @2.52
- Chelsea to Win with Handicap (-1.5 goals) @1.97
- Chelsea to Lead at Half Time + Win at Full Time @1.78
Manchester United play Tottenham in the Europa league final next Wednesday, so they’re likely to rest many of their key players for this EPL match. Currently sitting in 16th place in the table, United have won just two of their previous 13 Premier League matches, with both of those victories against teams that have been relegated. United’s 2-0 home defeat against West Ham on Sunday extended their winless run in the EPL to seven matches, five of which have ended in defeat, and ensures the worst placing in the top division for the Red Devils in 50 years.
In a dramatic game at Stamford Bridge last season, Cole Palmer scored in the 100th and 101st minutes to give Chelsea a 4-3 victory. The previous three meetings in west London all ended in draws.
EPL Latest Odds: West Ham vs Nottingham Forest [18th May, 13:15 GMT]
West Ham broke an eight-match winless streak with a 2-0 away win at Manchester United on Sunday, albeit with the home side resting several players ahead of their Europa League final match. The Hammers’ manager, Graham Potter, has endured a difficult start since taking over the reins in January and will have next season in mind as he decides around which players to build his team. West Ham have drawn their previous three home matches in the Premier League.
Premier League odds selection: West Ham – Nottingham Forest | EPL
- Match to be Drawn @3.45
- Under 2.5 Match Goals @1.85
- Draw at Half Time @2.12
Although Nottingham Forest guaranteed themselves a place in at least the Conference League next season, that didn’t stop a heated discussion between manager and owner taking place on the pitch at the end of a 2-2 home draw against relegated Leicester on Sunday. That match extended Forest’s run to just one win from their previous six EPL matches, as they continue to watch what seemed, a few weeks ago, to be an almost certain Champions League place for next season drift away. With a final day showdown against Chelsea to come, the Tricky Trees will need all three points here to keep their UCL challenge alive.
Since Forest returned to the Premier League, they have lost both away matches against West Ham. Prior to that, they had lost five of their last six matches in London against West Ham, with their last victory back in 1996. However, they did win 3-0 at the City Ground earlier this season.
PL Betting Tips: Arsenal vs Newcastle [18th May, 15:30 GMT]
An excellent second-half performance saw Arsenal recover from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Whilst it wasn’t enough to assure the Gunners of a Champions League spot, just one more point will ensure their UCL place. However, it did extend Mikel Arteta’s winless run to five matches in all competitions. The battle for second place is also unfolding, as Arsenal face their nearest challengers. Newcastle will overtake them if they leave the Emirates with three points on Sunday.
Selected bets: Arsenal – Newcastle | EPL
- Score Draw @4.60
- Newcastle to Score First @2.49
- Over 1.5 First Half Goals @2.56
Newcastle took a giant leap towards a top-five finish with a 2-0 home victory over a 10-man Chelsea at the weekend. Sandro Tonali opened the scoring for the Magpies in the second minute and they could have been further ahead by half time. However, Newcastle had to work hard in the second half to keep the visitors at bay, before a last-minute goal sealed the victory. The Geordies have won eight of their previous 10 EPL matches as they have continued their climb up the table.
These sides have already met three times this season, with Newcastle winning on each occasion. They defeated Arsenal 1-0 in the reverse league fixture, before winning both legs of their League Cup semi-final encounter by a 2-0 scoreline. However, the last time Newcastle won at the Emirates in a league match was in 2010, 12 matches ago.
All the above prices were correct at the time of writing, but are suject to fluctuation thereafter.

Premier League 2024/25 – Race for the Champions League
Whilst the Premier League title has headed to Anfield, the other placings at the top of the table remain up for grabs. Arsenal had looked destined for the runners-up spot for much of the season, but a late stutter, combined with good runs from Newcastle and Manchester City, has left the Gunners with just a two-point cushion over third place.
There is also still plenty to play for as teams vie for a finish in a Champions League place, with just four points currently separating third and seventh place. With the top five finishers in the EPL earning a place in next season’s Champions League, there are plenty of teams fighting for those coveted finishing positions.
So, with so much still to play for in this season’s EPL, we’ve taken a look at the remaining fixtures for those teams fighting for the Champions League spots. Which teams do you think will qualify looking at their respective run-ins?

At the other end of the table, the relegation places are now confirmed, with the three teams who were promoted from last season’s Championship all making an instant return. As the gulf between the top two divisions increases, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for promoted sides to establish themselves in the top flight.
In fact, this season, Southampton set a new unwanted record as they became the first ever Premier League side to have relegation confirmed with seven matches of the season still to play.
