Game Week-38
These final set of Premier League fixtures are the reverse of Game Week-9 which took place at the end of October 2025.
All of these games are shown live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and all kickoff at 16.00 in England.
BRIGHTON v MANCHESTER UNITED
16.00 in England
Brighton suffered late heartbreak against Leeds United at Elland Rd on Sunday.
With neither team finding the net and time virtually up, it looked like a goalless draw was about to happen, however, Leeds scored in the 96th minute to knock the stuffing out of the travelling Seagulls, who had made the long journey up North.
Brighton sit in 7th place with 53 points from 37 games played.
At the moment, that qualifies the Seagulls for the Europa League.
Any three teams from Bournemouth, Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford, and Sunderland will have a European adventure, whether that’s in the Europa League or the Europa Conference League.
It’s quite possible that all will need their Passports but that’s dependent on other factors after the final results are in.
Manchester United have no worries regarding Europe next season, the Red Devils will finish 3rd in the table, whatever happens on Sunday.
United currently have 68 points from 37 games, following the victory over Nottingham Forest.
Goals from Luke Shaw, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo gave Super Michael Carrick’s boys the win over Vitor Pereira’s Tricky Trees from a 3-2 scoreline.
Forest scored their goals when the score was 1-0 and 3-1 in favour of United.
It’s thought that Matheus Cunha’s goal shouldn’t have counted as it touched Bryan Mbeumo’s hand/arm.
The dreaded VAR advised the on-field referee Michael Salisbury to have a look at the monitor after Michael allowed the goal.
Once this usually occurs, the decision is changed, however, Mr Salisbury stuck with his original decision and gave the goal.
Rumours that Bryan Mbeumo has been offered a contract from the Harlem Globetrotters have been denied.
Whatever the result today, United can’t improve on 3rd place with a victory and won’t drop down following a defeat, so it’s the Champions League next season for the New Manager which hopefully will be Super Michael Carrick.
Manchester United secured a home win over Brighton when the two teams met at Old Trafford in October.
Matheus Cunha and Casemiro scored in the 1st-half to give United a lead at the break.
Bryan Mbeumo then added a 3rd on the hour mark, which should have given United a comfortable half hour until the end of the game.
However, that wasn’t the case as the ex-United Boy Danny Welbeck scored for Brighton to pull a goal back, before Charalampos Kostoulas made it 3-2 in the 92nd minute.
Unfortunately for the flying Seagulls in attendance at OT, Bryan Mbeumo scored a 4th for United to give the home team the win from a 4-2 scoreline.
The two teams then met again at Old Trafford in January for the 3rd-Round of the FA Cup where Brighton knocked out United.
Betfred offer Brighton at slight Odds On 19/20, the Draw at 3/1 and 12/5 for Manchester United to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 7/2 that Danny Welbeck Scores First and 11/4 that Bruno Fernandes Scores Anytime.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

BURNLEY v WOLVES
16.00 in England
This fixture could easily be billed as ‘El Rubbisho’ with the two teams currently sat in 19th and 20th respectively.
Burnley put in a solid performance against Arsenal at the Etihad on Monday Night Football but ultimately, like in most of their games this season, came up short, suffering another defeat, this time by a 1-0 scoreline.
There were a lot of Man City fans hoping that the Clarets could somehow pull off a miracle and prevent Arsenal from winning, even one City fan who was actually playing in the game, him being Kyle Walker.
Burnley stay in 19th place with 21 points from 37 games played.
Today’s opponents have 19 points, so if the Clarets suffer another loss, Burnley will finish at the bottom of the table.
Wolves head to Turf Moor knowing a victory would mean that the two swap places, leaving Burnley with the Wooden Spoon.
Whilst both are relegated, that’s probably the only motivation for Rob Edwards’ Gold and Blacks.
Wolves did manage a draw against Fulham at Molineux on Sunday.
Mateus Mane scored the opening goal for the home team to give Wolves a lead at the break.
Fulham replied in the 2nd-half leaving both teams with a point apiece from a 1-1 scoreline.
As mentioned, Wolves have 19 points and can jump above Burnley if a win occurs this afternoon.
A quick note regarding the Championship Play-Off Final which takes place on Saturday 23rd of May.
If one remembers, Rob Edwards left Middlesbrough to join Wolves.
Middlesbrough were at the Top of the Championship back then, so it appeared strange that Rob would leave ‘Boro and join Wolves knowing that the possibility of relegation was there.
Subsequently, Middlesbrough made the Semi-Final of the Championship Play-Off but lost against Southampton, with the Saints supposedly heading to Wembley to face Hull in the Final.
That hasn’t happened, Southampton have been expelled from the Final because one of their staff was caught spying on a Middlesbrough training session.
So Middlesbrough are going to take on Hull on Saturday, with the chance of promotion to the Premier League and for that matter, swapping places with Rob Edwards’ Wolves.
Football, it’s a funny old game!
At Molineux, Burnley gained the away victory over Wolves from a 3-2 scoreline.
Zian Flemming scored twice to give Burnley a lead after 30 minutes.
Jorgen Strand-Larsen pulled a goal back for Wolves via the penalty spot before Marshall Munetsi added a 2nd Wolves goal on the stroke of half-time to take both teams in level at the break.
When the clock ticked over the 90-minute mark it appeared that a draw was on the cards, however, Lyle Foster scored the winner for Burnley in the 95th minute.
Vitor Pereira and Scott Parker were in the dugout that particular afternoon but both have left their respective clubs.
It’s now Mike Jackson and Rob Edwards at the helm for this final Premier League game before both head down to the Championship.
Betfred offer Burnley at 6/4, the Draw at 13/5 and 13/8 for Wolves to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 10/3 that Zian Flemming Scores First and 11/10 that there are Under 2.5 Goals.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

CRYSTAL PALACE v ARSENAL
16.00 in England.
Both teams have a European Final to play in the week following this game, with Crystal Palace taking on Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday the 27th, in the Europa Conference League at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.
Arsenal then face Paris Saint-Germain in the Final of the Champions League at the Puskas Arena in Budapest next Saturday the 30th of May.
Arsenal have finally sealed the Premier League Title following Bournemouth and Man City’s drawn game on Tuesday,
Arsenal ticked off game 37, against Burnley on Monday Night Football, gaining a victory by a 1-0 scoreline.
Kai Havertz with the solitary winning goal just before the half-time break.
It was a nervy affair for all connected with the Gunners, knowing that anything other than a win would make the race for the Premier League Title a 2 horse one.
It was then a 24-hour wait to see the outcome from the Vitality with the Gunners knowing that anything other than a victory for Man City would mean the Title was going to the Emirates.
It’s now Arsenal’s after 22 years without winning the Trophy.
As it stands-
1- Arsenal- 82 points, scored 69 and conceded 26 (plus+43)
2-Man City- 78 points, scored 76 and conceded 33 (plus+43)
With Palace playing in the Final of the Europa Conference League 3 days after this game, it’s unlikely that Oliver Glasner will put out a strong first eleven and will probably play the fringe players and youngsters.
Now that Arsenal are confirmed Champions, Mikel Arteta might just do the same, meaning this afternoon’s fixture could be like an old Pontins Reserve League game.
Crystal Palace sit in 15th place with 45 points from 37 games played, with the penultimate Premier League fixture against Bournemouth producing a point from a draw by a 2-2 score.
Ismaila Sarr scored first in the 6th minute which Bournemouth equalised just before half-time to take both teams in level at the break.
Adam Wharton then scored his first Premier League goal in the 52nd minute to give Palace the lead again.
Adam’s celebration after the goal was superb, doing a ‘triple salchow back flick’
Let’s hope (for England’s sake) the lad can showcase his celebration after scoring for Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions at the World Cup this Summer.
Bournemouth scored an equaliser in the 88th minute to give both teams a point apiece from the Archbishop’s favourite scoreline.
Good luck to Arsenal in the Champions League Final and good luck to Crystal Palace in the Europa Conference League Final.
One slight negative to the three European Finals that have an English team in all three, is that the games are not shown live on terrestrial television (or the Council Telly as John Newsome knows it).
All three will be shown on TNT Sports in England which is a subscription service.
That is a shame for the folk who can’t afford the monthly subscription fee, which is around £35.
As a youth growing up in the 1970s and 80s, all of the European Finals were shown on the BBC or ITV, which was a luxury in itself for a mad football youngster.
TNT Sports were asked to show the Finals free to air and not behind the pay wall but refused.
Cheers TNT!
A single Eberechi Eze goal scored in the 39th minute (against his old employers) gave Arsenal the victory over Crystal Palace from a 1-0 scoreline, when these two teams met at the Emirates back in October.
Betfred offer Crystal Palace at 3/1, the Draw at 11/4 and slight Odds On 5/6 for Arsenal to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 5/1 that Gabriel Jesus Scores First and 7/2 that Arsenal Win Both Halves.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

FULHAM v NEWCASTLE
16.00 in England
Fulham sit in 13th place with the same 49 points as Everton and today’s opponents Newcastle following Sunday’s draw with Wolves at Molineux.
Antonee Robinson scored the Fulham goal on the stroke of half-time to cancel out Wolves’ opener and take both teams in level at the break.
With no further goals in the 2nd-half both teams gained a point apiece from a 1-1 scoreline.
Marco Silva is undecided about his future at Craven Cottage and most likely will decide once the season is over.
There was talk of him getting the Chelsea job but that has now been given to Xabi Alonso.
As mentioned, Newcastle have 49 points also and sit in 11th place following Sunday’s victory over West Ham at St James Park.
Nick Woltemade and a William Osula double gave Eddie Howe’s Magpies the win over Nuno’s Hammers from a 3-1 scoreline.
West Ham scored a late consolation goal when the score was 3-0 in favour of Newcastle.
Only one of Fulham and Newcastle can achieve 52 points, which could see a European adventure, however, it’s more than likely that neither will get a Top Eight spot.
Chelsea and Sunderland compete against each other for the chance to make Europe next season, however, again, only one will need their Passport.
Everton can also get 52 points with a win over Tottenham on Sunday but again it depends on other scores as to who finishes where.
The last 3 games between these two teams have finished in the same 2-1 scoreline.
One to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup (St James Park), one to Newcastle in the Game Week-9 encounter in October (St James Park) and one to Fulham in last season’s fixture at Craven Cottage.
At St James Park back in October, Jacob Murphy scored first to give Newcastle a lead at the break.
Sasa Lukic scored for Fulham, early in the 2nd-half before Bruno Guimaraes got the winner for the Magpies in the 90th minute.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if the score was also 2-1 today (to either team).
Betfred offer Fulham at 9/5, the Draw at 11/4 and 13/10 for Newcastle to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 5/1 that William Osula Scores First and 15/8 that Newcastle Score in Both Halves.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

LIVERPOOL v BRENTFORD
16.00 in England
Liverpool went early in Game Week-37, taking on Aston Villa at Villa Park last Friday.
In a disastrous performance against Villa, Liverpool suffered an away defeat by a 4-2 scoreline.
Probably the telling factor from that defeat was that Virgil Van Dijk scored both of Liverpool’s goals, meaning the Forward players had a bad night and couldn’t contribute to the scoreboard.
Liverpool swapped places with Aston Villa and now sit 5th with 59 points.
A victory today will confirm a Top Five finish.
A loss coupled with a Bournemouth win, will see Andoni’s Cherries and Arne’s Slots both with 59 points, however, Liverpool do have a better goal difference (plus+10) compared to Bournemouth’s (plus4) so it would leave Liverpool in 5th and the final Champions League place.
Brentford sit in 9th place with the same 52 points as Chelsea following Sunday’s draw against Crystal Palace.
Dango Ouattara scored the Bees 1st-goal just before the break to level things up following an early Palace strike.
Dango then added his and Brentford’s 2nd in the 88th minute to level things up again following another Palace goal, to leave both teams with a point apiece from a 2-2 scoreline.
It’s more than likely that 8th place will get a European place next season, however, there are quite a few teams in and around Brentford so it is important that the Bees can get something out of this game at Anfield.
When these two met at the GTech Stadium for the Game Week-9 affair, Brentford got the home win over Liverpool from a narrow 3-2 scoreline.
Dango Ouattara scored first for Brentford in the 5th minute before Kevin Schade added a 2nd on the stroke of half-time.
That wasn’t the end of the pre-break goals with Milos Kerkez halving the deficit for Liverpool 5-minutes into 1st-half stoppage time.
Igor Thiago added a 3rd for the Bees from the penalty spot on the hour mark.
Mo Salah pulled a goal back for Liverpool to make it 3-2 in the 89th minute, however, time ran out for the away team, leaving Brentford with the win from a 5-goal thriller.
Betfred offer Liverpool at slight Odds On 4/5, the Draw at 3/1 and 3/1 for Brentford to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 9/2 that Mo Salah Scores First and 3/1 that there are Over 4.5 Goals.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

MAN CITY v ASTON VILLA
16.00 in England
News broke late on Monday Night, just as Arsenal were beating Burnley, that Pep Guardiola has quit Man City and will leave the Etihad following this fixture against Aston Villa.
The 2025/26 FA Cup Champions host the 2025/26 Europa League Winners for this Premier League finale.
Man City come into this game off the back of a victory against Brentford, a victory against Crystal Palace in the official ‘game in hand’ and then winning the FA Cup last Saturday.
A single Antoine Semenyo piece of inspiration, saw a cross from Erling Haaland somehow flicked into the back of the net by Antoine and with no further goals, gave Pep’s High Flying Blues the win over Chelsea.
In truth, it was a terrible Final, from both teams, which didn’t really produce much but eventually saw Man City head back North with the Trophy.
It was then a trip to the Vitality to face Bournemouth, where unfortunately for everyone connected with the Citizens, Pep’s Blues could only manage a draw by a 1-1 score.
The result officially confirmed Arsenal as the 2025/26 Premier League Champions.
Congratulations Arsenal!
Man City stay in 2nd place with 78 points from 37 games played.
It’s now a Summer of Speculation as to who will be the next Man City Manager.
John Newsome thinks it will be Enzo Maresca.
Aston Villa not only surprised the watching football fans last Friday Night but probably surprised themselves by gaining a stunning victory over Liverpool at Villa Park from a 4-2 scoreline.
A 1st-half goal from Morgan Rogers, added to a couple from Ollie Watkins and one from John McGinn after the break, gave the Villains the points and a boost of confidence going into the Europa League Final.
Liverpool scored their two goals when the score was 1-0 and 4-1 in favour of Villa.
In truth, this EveryTip column did predict a Liverpool win, purely based on the fact that Aston Villa were in that Europa League Final on Wednesday.
However, not only were Villa brilliant on the night, Liverpool were poor, very poor, with no real chance of winning despite scoring twice.
The victory also sealed Villa’s Champions League spot for next season, with a guaranteed Top Five finish, currently 4th with 62 points going into the final game.
Liverpool can also get 62 points, if successful in their final fixture against Brentford on Sunday.
Liverpool do have a far superior goal difference of plus+10, with Villa having plus+6.
There is nothing to suggest Villa will lose today against Man City but because Villa were successful in the Europa League Final, then the professionalism might not be there.
There’s also nothing to suggest Liverpool will beat Brentford, however, Arne’s Slots will be going all out to win as the Reds are not guaranteed a Champions League place just yet.
There is a chance that the team finishing 6th will qualify for the Champions League, however, that will only happen if Aston Villa finish 5th.
If Villa finish 4th, then 6th won’t get that extra place.
So the possible scenario is, Aston Villa suffer a defeat today against City and stay on 62 points with a goal difference which will be less than the current plus+6, depending on how many Man City score.
If Liverpool win and Villa do lose, Liverpool will automatically go into 4th place with the same 62 points but a better goal difference.
The best scenario for all concerned is Liverpool beat Brentford and finish 4th, Aston Villa lose against Man City and finish 5th, which would mean Bournemouth finish 6th but get that vital extra Champions League spot.
The alternative to that is Villa get at least a draw against Man City today, meaning they finish 4th, so the team below in 5th which can only be Liverpool or Bournemouth and as mentioned, Liverpool have a far superior goal difference, are the ones who get the last Champions League place.
Sixth will go into the Europa League next season.
As it stands-
5- Liverpool 59 points, scored 62 and conceded 52 (plus+10)
6- Bournemouth 56 points, scored 57 and conceded 53 (plus+4)
A single Matty Cash goal, scored in the 19th minute gave Aston Villa the home win over Man City from a 1-0 scoreline, when the two met at Villa Park back in October.
Bear in mind before having a punt that Villa have just won the Europa League, are now already in the Champions League, so maybe won’t be fully committed to putting in a shift today.
Especially if a few drinks were partaken after the Europa League Final.
Betfred offer Man City at Odds On 4/9, the Draw at 4/1 and 5/1 for Aston Villa to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 9/2 that Antoine Semenyo Scores First and 21/10 that Ollie Watkins Scores Anytime.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

NOTTINGHAM FOREST v BOURNEMOUTH
16.00 in England
Nottingham Forest can consider themselves very unlucky following their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday.
Despite Morata and Morgan Gibbs-White scoring against Manchester United, United scored 3, to leave Forest with a defeat from a 3-2 scoreline.
The ‘unlucky’ bit comes from the fact that United’s 2nd-goal, according to the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited), should have been ruled out by VAR for a handball offence leading up to the goal.
That’s the problem with VAR, even though they admit they were wrong, it doesn’t change the result.
Nottingham Forest sit in 16th place with 43 points, knowing that whatever happens today, the Tricky Trees will be in the Premier League next season.
Bournemouth ended Man City’s Premier League title challenge on Tuesday with the Cherries gaining a point from a draw by a 1-1 score.
Eli Junior Kroupi scored a brilliant goal in the 39th minute to give the home team a lead at the break.
Man City scored the equaliser in the 95th minute to give both teams a point apiece and confirm Arsenal as the Premier League Champions.
As mentioned previously Bournemouth can finish in 6th place and get the extra Champions League spot, if Aston Villa drop down to 5th.
Marcus Tavernier and Eli Junior Kroupi scored the Bournemouth goals, both in the 1st-half, to give the Cherries the home win over the Tricky Trees from a 2-0 scoreline, when these two met at the Vitality for the Game Week-9 encounter.
Betfred offer Nottingham Forest at 21/10, the Draw at 11/4 and 11/10 for Bournemouth to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 4/1 that Eli Junior Kroupi Scores First and 13/8 that Bournemouth Score in Both Halves.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

SUNDERLAND v CHELSEA
16.00 in England
Sunderland gained a victory over Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.
Everton did score first just before the break but it was all Sunderland in the 2nd-half with goals from Brian Brobbey, Enzo Le Fee and Wilson Isidor giving the Black Cats the win over the Toffees from a 3-1 scoreline.
Sunderland sit in 10th place with 51 points and still have aspirations of getting into Europe which will be finalised on Sunday.
Following 7 winless games in the Premier League, Chelsea gained a victory over their London rivals Tottenham on Tuesday.
Goals from Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos gave the Interim Manager Callum McFarlane his first Premier League win of his reign from a 2-1 scoreline.
Tottenham scored in the 74th minute to halve the deficit after Andrey’s goal.
Fortunately for the Chelsea faithful, Tottenham couldn’t find a 2nd, leaving the home team with all 3-points.
The win lifts Chelsea above Brentford into 8th place with 1 game remaining, both having 52 points.
A quick note regarding the ex-Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham (and a few other clubs) and self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ Jose Mourinho.
The enigmatic Portuguese ‘Especial Um’ has just been given the Real Madrid Manager’s job.
Is it April the First?
If one remembers, Jose was Manager at the Bernabeu back in 2010 and lasted 3 years (after signing a 6-year contract) eventually leaving the club at the end of the 2012/13 campaign after falling out with several players.
All the best Jose.
Xabi Alonso, who parted company with Real Madrid in January 2026 after less than a year in charge, now becomes the Chelsea Manager, ultimately leading to Jose Mourinho’s return to the Bernabeu.
Chelsea sit in 8th place with the same 52 points as Brentford and just a point more than today’s hosts.
So basically, the winner today could gain entry into Europe.
Sunderland gained the away-day victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge back in October.
Alejandro Garnacho scored first for Chelsea in the 4th minute, which was equalised by Wilson Isidor 20 minutes later.
With no further goals before 90 minutes were up on the clock, it appeared a draw was on the cards.
That was until Chemsdine Talbii scored the eventual winner in the 93rd minute to give the Black Cats all 3 points.
Betfred offer Sunderland at 13/5, the Draw at 13/5 and Evens 1/1 for Chelsea to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 6/1 that Brian Brobbey Scores First and 21/10 that Enzo Fernandez Scores Anytime.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

TOTTENHAM v EVERTON
16.00 in England
After seeing West Ham suffer a defeat in their Game Week-37 affair against Newcastle on Sunday, Tottenham had the chance to cement their status in the Premier League by gaining at least a point against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
Unfortunately for the LilyWhite faithful in attendance at the home of the Blues, Tottenham suffered a defeat against their London rivals by a 2-1 scoreline, leaving the threat of relegation still on the cards.
Richarlison scored the Tottenham goal against Chelsea, when the score was 2-0 in favour of the home team.
That leaves Tottenham in 17th place with 38 points going into this finale against Everton.
West Ham have 36 points before their final game against Leeds United at the London Stadium.
So at least both teams are at home.
The problem there though is Tottenham haven’t a good record at their New Stadium.
As it stands-
17th- Tottenham 38 points, scored 47 and conceded 57 (minus-10)
18th- West Ham 36 points, scored 43 and conceded 65 (minus-22)
As one can see, the simple scenario is for Tottenham to avoid defeat (win or draw) and they will stay in the Premier League, sending West Ham back to the Championship, even if the Hammers win, as the goal difference is much higher.
Unless there is a 12-goal swing, which means Everton would need to beat Tottenham at least 6-0, added to Leeds losing against West Ham by the same 6-0 scoreline.
The odds of that happening are around 45,000/1, similar to winning the lottery.
Meaning, it’s not going to happen.
So as long as Tottenham don’t lose, Roberto De Zerbi will be in charge of Spurs in the Premier League and not the Championship.
Everton sit in 12th place with the same 49 points as Fulham and Newcastle going into Game Week-38.
The Toffees suffered a defeat against the Black Cats on Sunday.
Merlin Rohl did score first to give Everton a lead at the break.
It was then the Sunderland show, with the away side scoring 3 times to inflict the defeat on Everton from a 3-1 scoreline.
There is still the possibility of gaining 52 points but it’s now highly unlikely that Everton will be in a European Competition next season, so David Moyes will have to regroup his squad and go again.
It was mentioned in last week’s EveryTip column that a lot think Everton have had a good season and are doing well at the moment.
However, if one looks at the recent performances, Everton’s last 6 games have been Loss, Draw, Draw, Loss, Loss and Draw, which means the Toffees have only gained 3 points from a possible 18.
Just imagine if there were another 8 or 9 points from those remaining 15, Everton would have 57/58 points close to their Merseyside rivals’ tally.
So it can be argued that the Toffees could be doing better.
Tottenham gained a surprise away-day victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium back in October.
A couple of goals from Micky Van De Ven plus one from Papa Mata Sarr gave Thomas Frank’s Spurs the win over David Moyes’ Toffees from a 3-0 scoreline.
Betfred offer Tottenham at slight Odds On 9/10, the Draw at 11/4 and 11/4 for Everton to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 4/1 that Richarlison Scores First and 2/1 that Beto Scores Anytime.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)

WEST HAM v LEEDS UNITED
16.00 in England
It looks like it is the end of the Premier League adventure for West Ham, following Sunday’s defeat against Newcastle at St James Park.
Taty Castellanos did score a brilliant goal for the Hammers, however, for the Bubbles in attendance way up high in the away end at Newcastle’s home, the Magpies had already scored 3, leaving West Ham with a defeat from a 3-1 scoreline.
It’s still funny seeing ‘Taty’ on the back of a shirt.
In John Newsome’s world, ‘Taty’ means Potato!
The loss leaves West Ham in 18th place with 36 points, 2 adrift of Tottenham, going into the final game.
What that basically means, is West Ham need to win today against Leeds and hope Tottenham suffer a defeat against Everton.
A draw is no good to Nuno Espírito Santo.
Leeds United scored a 96th-minute winner against Brighton at Elland Rd on Sunday, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin getting the goal to give Daniel Farke’s Whites a victory from a 1-0 scoreline.
After a brilliant campaign from the Newly Promoted Team, it was fitting to get a win in front of the ardent fans in the last game of the season at Elland Rd, leaving the West Yorkshire Puddings all singing their famous ditty,
Marching On Together!
Leeds sit in 14th place with 47 points going into this final game, with only Crystal Palace able to overtake them if Leeds lose.
Considering Palace face Arsenal, that’s unlikely to happen, so Leeds should be 14th at worst with the possibility of going higher as the next 3 clubs all have 49 points.
When West Ham travelled up the M1 to face Leeds at Elland Rd back in October, it was the home team that got the victory.
Brenden Aaronson and Joe Roden scored in the 1st-half to give Leeds a lead at the break.
Mateus Fernandes scored a goal for West Ham in the 90th minute which turned out to be just a consolation, leaving Leeds with the win from a 2-1 score.
Betfred offer West Ham at slight Odds On 9/10, the Draw at 11/4 and 11/4 for Leeds United to come away with all 3-points.
Betfred offer 5/1 that Jarrod Bowen Scores First and 9/5 that Dominic Calvert-Lewin Scores Anytime.
(If your pre-match First Goalscorer bet scores First and then scores a Second, Betfred DOUBLE the odds.
If they score a Third, Betfred TREBLE the odds.)
