With the Manchester Derby confirmed once again in the FA Cup final at the end of May, the battle for the Premier League title comes to the fore. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are in the mix at the top of the tree with all EPL betting sites whilst Burnley, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest will be battling for their Premier League lives again this weekend.
EPL 2023/24 Matchweek 35
West Ham United vs Liverpool
London Olympic Stadium, 28th April 2024 – 00.30
The end of the season doesn’t feel as if it can come quick enough for West Ham, who have struggled for form since crashing out of Europe and Liverpool await next. The Hammers can be hugely proud of their efforts this season and David Moyes will be out to see if he can usurp Liverpool’s title push. Jurgen Klopp’s reds meanwhile returned to form with a bang on the road at Fulham last time out and they look ready to mount plenty of problems to Manchester City and Arsenal over the coming weeks, but they are outsiders for the title with many soccer betting sites. Liverpool need a win and they should get one here.

Manchester United vs Burnley
Manchester United vs Burnley
Old Trafford, 28th April 2024 – 03.00
Having reached the FA Cup final in bizarre fashion last time out, Manchester United will want to appease their itchy fan base here against Burnley. United survived a remarkable Coventry City comeback to reach their second successive FA Cup final but question marks continue to surround the club and their manager Erik ten Hag. For Burnley meanwhile, survival is key, and they have a glimmer of hope that they could manage to stave off the drop this term. Burnley will be bang up for this but Manchester United should have too much quality for them here.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace
Craven Cottage, 28th April 2024 – 03.00
Two teams looking to finish the campaign as strongly as possible in the mid-table shake up meet here, as Fulham take on Crystal Palace. The Cottagers have been ticking along nicely this term under Marco Silva and they will want to put on a good show for their fans with the end of the campaign approaching. Crystal Palace meanwhile look to be a side reborn under Oliver Glasner and they have been banging the goals in and picking up some super results of late. This should be entertaining, with a draw the potential outcome here on the Thames.

Newcastle United vs Sheffield United
St James’s Park, 28th April 2024 – 03.00
Newcastle United will be looking to continue their push towards a top 7 finish, as they host Sheffield United – a side they beat 8-0 earlier in the campaign. Toon have been rejuvenated in recent weeks, with a lighter schedule and key men back and they will want to build towards a busy summer of recruitment under Eddie Howe. Sheffield United meanwhile need to win here to stay in the Premier League, but the writing looks to be on the wall for Chris Wilder and his side. This should be one-way traffic in the North East, with Newcastle ready to put in a big performance.

Wolves vs Luton Town
Molyneux, 28th April 2024 – 03.00
The pressure continues to ramp up on Luton Town, as they look to mount their Premier League survival bid in the final weeks of the season. They travel to Wolves next, a side that look to have done their damage for the campaign and who are comfortably in mid-table, preparing for the summer ahead and next season. Luton, however, know that it is now or never for their Premier League survival hopes and this could be a game in which they target picking up a result. Wolves have been wracked by injuries and this could end up being a draw in the West Midlands.

Everton vs Brentford
Goodison Park, 28th April 2024 – 05.30
The basement battle is now in the hands of Everton, who have been fighting with points deductions all season and they will want to put in a strong performance here against Brentford. The Toffees won well against Nottingham Forest last weekend to strengthen their survival bid and they know that a win here could be a hugely significant step in the right direction. Brentford meanwhile assured their EPL status with a huge win at Luton last weekend and won’t fear this assignment. This could be very entertaining, and a draw could be on the cards at Goodison.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea
Villa Park, 28th April 2024 – 08.00
Aston Villa will be looking to take a big step towards a top 4 finish, as they take on Chelsea at Villa Park. Villa have been in decent nick all season and their wins in their last 2 games have seen them open up a bit of a gap to Tottenham below them in the Champions League race. Chelsea meanwhile are a side in disarray, losing the FA Cup semifinal to Manchester City before being mauled by Arsenal and the problems at Stamford Bridge are mounting up. This will be a big one for Villa, who should get the job done at home.

Bournemouth vs Brighton
Vitality Stadium, 29th April 2024 – 02.00
A south coast clash looks to be on the horizon here, as Bournemouth take on Brighton at the Vitality Stadium. The Cherries have been in fine fettle all season and will be eager to finish the campaign on a high and build towards next year. Brighton meanwhile have struggled for form a little of late, but they are a hugely dangerous outfit who always tend to raise their game in big matches. There is very little between these sides on paper and in the league table, making the draw a sensible prediction

Tottenham vs Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 29th April 2024 – 02.00
Tottenham and Arsenal look set to clash in one of the biggest North London derbies in years, in a fixture that could shape the respective seasons of both clubs. Spurs are behind Aston Villa in the race for the top 4 but they will be hopeful that a result here could help them turn the tide. Arsenal meanwhile look to be reborn following their Champions League exit and only having to focus on the Premier League from here on in looks to be a welcome tonic. Spurs won’t go down easily here but Arsenal should have way too much for them in attacking areas

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
City Ground, 29th April 2024 – 04.30
Having booked their place in the FA Cup final, Manchester City will be doing all they can to kick on for the domestic double here against Nottingham Forest. Forest were hard done by against Everton last time out and will be desperate for their luck to turn in their bid to stay in the division this season. Manchester City meanwhile are lacking their usual vim and vigour at this point in the season, but their track record has them as the favourites to win the Premier League title. City will be tentative here and Forest could manage to spoil the party and pick up a point, as they did in this fixture last season.
