class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having looked very assured in big matches under Tuchel, Al Hain-Cole expects the Blues to prove too strong for Rodgers' men in the FA Cup final

Chelsea and Leicester City will go head-to-head for FA Cup glory when they meet at Wembley in Saturday’s final.

The Blues are taking part in their fourth final in five seasons, a run that has produced one win and two defeats – including last time out against Arsenal.

However, they are 10/11 (1.91) favourites with bet365 to bounce back by coming out on top to lift the trophy for a ninth time in their history.

In contrast, Brendan Rodgers’ men are appearing in the final for the first time since 1969 and can be backed at 3/1 (4.00) to secure their first ever FA Cup triumph with a historic victory.

Three of the last five encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them taking this game into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Chelsea vs Leicester teamTNews

Mateo Kovacic faces a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of the final, although Andreas Christensen is unlikely to feature after going off injured last weekend against Manchester City.

Jonny Evans will face a late fitness test after missing the last two matches due to injury, with James Justin, Wes Morgan, Harvey Barnes and Cengiz Under all ruled out.

Chelsea vs Leicester Preview

With a Champions League final still to come later this month and two matches away from securing a place in the Premier League’s top-four, Thomas Tuchel has done a remarkable job in transforming the fortunes of a team that was struggling for consistency under Frank Lampard.

The former Paris Saint-Germain boss has suffered just three defeats in 26 matches in all competitions, a run built on an impressive return of 18 clean sheets.

Having recorded big wins over the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Manchester City already, he will be confident the team will rise to occasion against a Foxes team that is inexperienced in showpiece finals.

Indeed, Leicester have looked short of their best in recent weeks, taking just four points from Newcastle and 10-man Southampton before only narrowly beating a significantly understrength Manchester United in midweek.

Chelsea vs Leicester Tips and Predictions

Considering their superior form, squad and record in recent big matches, Chelsea look well worth those 10/11 (1.91) odds to come out on top at Wembley.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>While Tuchel's men are not reliant on any main goalscorer, the Foxes will be looking to their in-form Nigerian striker for inspiration at Wembley

Chelsea and Leicester players will be hoping to write their names in the history books when they meet at Wembley for Saturday’s FA Cup final.

Timo Werner has endured an up-and-down first season at Stamford Bridge, helping his side to two major finals but scoring a relatively disappointing 12 goals in all competitions.

However, he can be backed at 5/1 (6.00) with bet365 to make himself a hero by opening the scoring in the final, or 7/4 (2.75) to strike anytime for just the third time since mid-February.

Christian Pulisic scored the opener in last season’s FA Cup final defeat against Arsenal and is priced at 21/10 (3.10) to mark the occasion with a goal once again this time out.

Mason Mount has been one of the standout stars of the team’s revival under Thomas Tuchel, and is available at 9/4 (3.25) to cap a successful breakthrough campaign with a memorable goal.

While Chelsea have shared their goals around this season, the Foxes have been fairly reliant on their prolific front pair of Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Despite a recent run of just one goal from the last 16 matches in all competitions, Vardy is his side’s 13/2 (7.50) favourite to break the deadlock in their first cup final since 1969, on offer at 9/4 (3.25) to score anytime.

However, Iheanacho looks a far better bet at those same 9/4 (3.25) odds considering he has scored 14 times in the last 12 fixtures – failing to fire just twice during that spell.

That price looks particularly appealing given his record in this season’s competition, hitting the net four times in his last three appearances.

The last of James Maddison’s 11 goals for the season came back in mid-February, although he can be backed at generous 9/2 (5.50) odds to make up for lost time by getting on a target against a team he scored past in Leicester’s 2-0 Premier League win at the King Power Stadium.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Late goals have been a feature of recent Premier League games between Spurs and Santo's men and Al Hain-Cole expects the action to unfold slowly

Tottenham will be hoping to keep their Champions League dreams alive when they welcome Wolves to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Spurs are nine points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea with just three matches left to play, although do have one game in hand on the Blues.

Tottenham vs Wolves Latest Odds

Having won five of their last six league matches on home turf, they are 1/2 (1.50) favourites with bet365 to retain some faint hope of Champions League qualification by coming out on top here.

However, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have won both of their last two away matches against this opposition and can be backed at 11/2 (6.50) to make it three in a row in this one.

The sides shared a 1-1 draw in December’s reverse encounter at Molineux, and you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them sharing the spoils yet again.

Tottenham vs Wolves Team News

Ben Davies is still ruled out with a calf injury for the hosts, who otherwise have a fully fit squad to choose from.

Willy Boly has returned to training after suffering from long COVID, while Owen Otasawie will be assessed and Marcal, Jonny, Pedro Neto and Raul Jimenez are all sidelined.

Tottenham vs Wolves Preview

Anyone tuning in to watch this match should be careful not to switch off too early, as late goals have been an often decisive feature of recent meetings between this pair.

Indeed, Wolves rescued a point with an 86th-minute equaliser in the reverse fixture, the fourth goal scored in the final 10 minutes in four encounters.

This trend for late goals could well be set to continue considering visitors have scored 10 of their last 12 goals after half-time, finding the net before the break in just one of the previous 12 fixtures.

What’s more, Ryan Mason’s team have only conceded seven first-half goals in their 19 home matches in all competitions this season, while scoring nine of their last 12 goals in the second 45 in their own backyard.

Tottenham vs Wolves Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 21/20 (2.05) seem generous on the majority of the action taking place after half-time for Spurs’ eighth home game in 11 and Wolves’ sixth in eight on the road.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Reds recorded an entertaining win over Manchester United on Thursday and our tipster is backing another open game when they travel to the Baggies

Liverpool will be aiming to move one step closer to the Premier League top four when they travel to The Hawthorns to face relegated West Brom on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds recorded a remarkable 4-2 victory over rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday night to ignite their challenge for a Champions League place.

West Brom vs Liverpool Latest Odds

Jurgen Klopp’s men still likely need to win their remaining three matches to reach the top four and are bet365’s overwhelming 2/9 (1.22) favourites to pick up three points here.

West Brom’s return to the Championship was officially confirmed after a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal last weekend but they can be backed at 11/1 (12.0) to record a famous victory in their penultimate home game of the season.

The last three Premier League meetings between these sides have all ended level and another draw is available at 11/2 (6.50).

West Brom vs Liverpool Team News

Ainsley Maitland-Niles should return to the Baggies’ starting line-up after being ineligible to face parent club Arsenal last week, leaving only Branislav Ivanovic and Robert Snodgrass on the injury list.

James Milner, Naby Keita, Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak all face late fitness tests but Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk are out until next season.

West Brom vs Liverpool Preview

Liverpool look to have regained consistency after a well-documented down period, with their last seven Premier League games producing five wins and two draws, including that impressive result on Thursday.

Those fixtures have also seen the Reds net 14 times – more than they managed across their previous 14 top-flight games – although they have conceded in four of the most recent five and will face a tough challenge to keep West Brom out.

Indeed, the Baggies have actually proven themselves to be regular scorers with 12 in their last six and, with nothing to play for here, could continue to play in an open style.

West Brom vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

It should be an entertaining affair at the Hawthorns and bet365’s price of 10/11 (1.91) on both teams finding the net looks far too good to pass up, having landed in four of Liverpool’s last five.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>There is nothing on the line in this Premier League clash and with both teams in good attacking form, Goal is anticipating a wide-open fixture

Leeds United can secure a top-half Premier League finish when they travel to Southampton for their final away game of the season.

It has been a remarkable first season back in the top-flight for Marcelo Bielsa’s men after 16 years away, with the Whites proving themselves to be one of the most entertaining teams in the league and knowing that a win at St Mary’s will guarantee they cannot finish lower than 10th.

Southampton vs Leeds United Latest Odds

Having seen off Burnley 4-0 at the weekend, bet365 make Leeds 7/5 (2.40) favourites to record a 10th away success of the campaign.

Southampton have won consecutive games for the first time since December and are 17/10 (2.70) to end their home campaign with another victory.

The visitors are yet to draw an away game this season and it is 11/4 (3.75) that their final one ends all square.

Southampton vs Leeds United Team News

Jan Bednarek faces a late fitness test for the Saints but Oriol Romeu, Will Smallbone and Ryan Bertrand are all out.

Robin Koch and Mateusz Klich have both been granted early leave ahead of Euro 2020 while Adam Forshaw and Helder Costa remain out, although Pablo Hernandez could feature.

Southampton vs Leeds United Preview

Despite having had little to play for except pride recently, Leeds are certainly not letting up as the end of a remarkable season approaches.

Their big victory at Turf Moor came one week after a comfortable 3-1 win over Tottenham and there is little reason to think Bielsa will change tack as the season winds down.

It has a been disastrous 2021 for Southampton which has seen them lose 13 of their 20 games, but a pair of 3-1 victories in the last two weeks means they should be at least able to contribute to a high-scoring game themselves.

Southampton vs Leeds United Tips and Predictions

Over 3.5 goals is offered at 13/10 (2.30) by bet365 and looks a well-priced odds-against selection for two teams in strong goalscoring form with nothing on the line.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Despite their poor form at Old Trafford this season, Al Hain-Cole expects the Red Devils to sign off with a comfortable win against Parker's men

Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Fulham to Old Trafford for their final home game of the Premier League season.

The Red Devils have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, although do have a Europa League final against Villarreal to look forward to next week.

Manchester United vs Fulham Latest Odds

Having won 11 and lost none of their last 13 games against this opposition, they are 1/3 (1.33) favourites with bet365 to give the returning supporters something to celebrate by coming out on top once again.

Scott Parker’s men are consigned to relegation after a run of just one point from the last available 24 but can be backed at 15/2 (8.50) to enjoy a memorable win here.

Seven of the guests’ last 12 away matches in the league have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 15/2 (8.50) on them collecting a single point from this one.

Manchester United vs Fulham Team News

Harry Maguire remains absent with an ankle injury as he races to be fit for the Europa League final, while Anthony Martial and Phil Jones are also ruled out and Daniel James is doubtful.

Antonee Robinson, Terence Kongolo and Tom Cairney are all sidelined, although Mario Lemina should return after being ineligible to face parent club Southampton last time out.

Manchester United vs Fulham Preview

The only club to avoid defeat away-from-home so far in the league, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team has lost six times in 18 matches at Old Trafford – having suffered just 10 home defeats in the previous five campaigns combined.

However, they will be determined to end on a high as they welcome fans back into the stadium, particularly given the need for a confidence boost ahead of the Europa League final.

They will back themselves to achieve just that considering the Cottagers have lost seven and won none of their last eight games, conceding 17 times and scoring just four goals.

Manchester United vs Fulham Tips and Predictions

With 24 goals to their name in the last six home matches in the league, United look well worth backing at 20/21 (1.95) to give their fans a happy send-off by consigning Fulham to their fourth consecutive defeat by at least two goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Champions League football potentially at stake, Al Hain-Cole is expecting another closely fought encounter between the Blues and Rodgers' men

Chelsea and Leicester City face a Champions League qualification showdown when they meet at Stamford Bridge in Tuesday’s Premier League clash.

The Foxes are two points ahead of their opponents in third place, with Liverpool breathing down their necks just a single point outside the top four.

Chelsea vs Leicester Latest Odds

Having pulled off a historic 1-0 victory against this opposition in Saturday’s FA Cup final, they are available at 4/1 (5.00) with bet365 to seal their place in the Champions League with another big win over the Blues here.

Defeat at Wembley was a second in succession in all competitions for Thomas Tuchel’s men, who can be backed at 7/10 (1.70) to get their season back on track by coming out on top.

Five of the guests’ last 11 away games have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 11/4 (3.75) available on this one also finishing up all square.

Chelsea vs Leicester Team News

Edouard Mendy, Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic could all be recalled after starting on the bench in the FA Cup final, although Mateo Kovacic remains an injury doubt.

Jonny Evans is unlikely to feature after coming off injured at Wembley, while Cengiz Under, James Justin and Harvey Barnes are sidelined.

Chelsea vs Leicester Preview

While a couple of weeks ago the Blues looked set to celebrate the return of fans with an FA Cup trophy, a top-four place wrapped up, and an upcoming Champions League final to look forward to, there are now sure to be plenty of nerves among the Stamford Bridge crowd.

This match will therefore feel like another cup final in terms of significance for the home team, with proceedings likely to follow a similar path to the tight and tense affair that took place at Wembley.

Indeed, just one of the last nine encounters between this pair have produced more than two goals, with only 13 goals scored in total during that spell.

Chelsea vs Leicester Tips and Predictions

Considering under 2.5 goals have been scored in 23 of Chelsea’s 27 matches under their current boss, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem generous on no more than two going in once again when Leicester come to town.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Premier League winners boast an extraordinary away record this season and Goal is backing them to record another success in their final such game

Premier League champions Manchester City play their last away match of the season on Tuesday evening when they visit the Amex Stadium to face Brighton.

Pep Guardiola’s men have already wrapped up their third title in the last four years but they showed last Friday night that they remain serious competitors, producing a fine comeback to beat Newcastle 4-3.

Brighton, meanwhile, have nothing at stake after securing their top-flight status for another season after one win and three draws in their last six.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Having won 12 consecutive away games in the Premier League, bet365 offer City at 9/20 (1.45) to extend that successful run on the south coast.

The Seagulls can be backed at 6/1 (7.00) with the draw at 7/2 (4.50).

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester City Team News

Brighton are without suspended duo Neal Maupay and Lewis Dunk, while long-term injury absentees Tariq Lamptey and Solly March are also missing.

The champions will give late fitness tests to Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne, who are both pushing to be involved but the latter may not be risked ahead of the Champions League final.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester City Preview

Guardiola rested a number of key players against Newcastle but the starting eleven was still extremely competitive and it could be a similar scenario on Tuesday evening.

City have the first ever Champions League final in the club’s history coming up and while they will want to avoid injuries, they will also want to head into the showpiece with some momentum.

Their away form has been exceptional this season and even with a rotated team, the visitors should be able to rack up another victory against a team that has been treading water at the Amex Stadium.

Indeed, Brighton have won just three of their last 22 league games at home and another home defeat for Graham Potter’s men looks on the cards against the runaway champions.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

Manchester City to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at 8/11 (1.73) and has paid out in each of City’s last 11 league matches on the road.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having made life difficult for the Reds in the past, Al Hain-Cole expects Dyche's men to put pressure on the weakened visiting defence at Turf Moor

Liverpool face another must-win match in their quest for Champions League football when they travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley on Wednesday.

Alisson’s dramatic last-minute winner at West Brom put the Reds just a point adrift of the top four ahead of the penultimate round of fixtures, with third-placed Leicester’s game against fourth-placed Chelsea on Tuesday leaving everything to play for.

Burnley vs Liverpool Latest Odds

Having won six and lost none of their last eight Premier League fixtures, they are 1/4 (1.25) favourites with bet365 to move into the top four by coming out on top once more.

Sean Dyche’s men have gone 10 games without a win on home turf but can be backed at 9/1 (10.00) to give the returning fans something to cheer about by signing off with a shock victory.

Five of the hosts’ last eight home league matches have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 11/2 (6.50) on them earning a creditable point yet again.

Burnley vs Liverpool Team News

Nick Pope and Dale Stephens are both doubtful, while Kevin Long, Phil Bardsley and Robbie Brady are definitely sidelined.

Ozan Kabak and Diogo Jota have joined Caoimhin Kelleher, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita on an extensive injury list, although James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be in contention following injury and illness respectively.

Burnley vs Liverpool Preview

While Jurgen Klopp will be grateful that his side’s Champions League fate is in their own hands, he will not be taking anything for granted at Turf Moor.

The Clarets have taken four points from the last two encounters between the sides and are under no pressure as they look to put in a strong display for the supporters finally back in the stadium.

Having found the net in all but one of their last 10 fixtures, they will back themselves to pile pressure on an inexperienced visiting defence that has kept just one clean sheet in six league matches.

Burnley vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

With Liverpool forced to push forward in search of victory, odds of 7/10 (1.70) offer decent value on both teams getting on target against a Burnley side that has scored in eight of the last nine meetings.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Gunners are on the verge of their best Premier League winning streak in over three years and Goal is backing them to record another success

Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening for their final away game of the Premier League season to face Crystal Palace in a London derby.

The Gunners triumphed in another all-capital clash at the weekend, beating Chelsea 1-0, and Mikel Arteta’s side are aiming to finish the campaign strongly in an attempt to secure some European football for next season.

Palace have little but pride to play for but will want to continue their impressive run against their rivals from the north of the city, against whom they are undefeated in their last five meetings. 

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Latest Odds 

Arteta’s men have won their last three league matches and are aiming for four straight top-flight wins for the first time since October 2018.

The visitors are offered at 1/2 (1.50) with bet365, while the hosts are priced at 5/1 (6.00) and the draw at 7/2 (4.50) . 

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Team News 

Palace were without Luka Milivojevic and Patrick Van Aanholt at the weekend but both could return on Wednesday, while Nathaniel Clyne could also feature, but James McArthur, Nathan Ferguson, Connor Wickham and Mahmadou Sahko remain long-term absentees.

David Luiz and Granit Xhaka face late fitness tests for the Gunners although Hector Bellerin is likely to miss out. 

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Preview

The Gunners have the possibility of salvaging a spot in Europe from what has been a disappointing season and Arteta’s side have been playing with real purpose in the last couple of weeks.

Against a Palace outfit with nothing to play for, the Gunners should have enough to to claim a win – not least when considering the Eagles’ home defensive record.

Only two sides have conceded more goals in their own stadium this season than Roy Hodgson’s team and while Arsenal have been far from rampant this term, they have shown a more clinical edge with six goals in their last three Premier League games. 

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

Backing Arsenal to win and score over 1.5 goals is priced at 4/5 (1.80) and should be of interest.

The Gunners have scored at least twice if four of their last six away games and should be able to do so once more against a Palace side who have conceded more than once in each of their last three at Selhurst Park.
