🗓️ Sunday, May 28

Arsenal vs Wolves

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 2-0

“Arsenal lost their way in the title race in the final few weeks but this is [a] chance for them to sign off with a positive performance, and I think that’s exactly what they will do.”

Mark Lawrenson: 2-1

“A win here would just underline Arsenal’s great season, which I expect them to do.”

Paul Merson: 3-0

“Arsenal need to win and send the fans home well as it’s been a bad end to a season that promised so much just a few weeks ago. They absolutely have to beat Wolves and I think they’ll do so comfortably, so I’m going for a 3-0 win.”

Aston Villa vs Brighton

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 1-1

“Villa beat the Seagulls before the World Cup, just after Unai Emery took charge, but I am not sure they will get the better of Roberto de Zerbi’s side again this time.”

Mark Lawrenson: 2-1

“Aston Villa have done great and if they win they’ll just be one point and one place behind Brighton. I’m going to go for that outcome.”

Paul Merson: 2-0

“I think [Unai] Emery and co will get the job done to finish what has been an outstanding second half of the season for them.”

Brentford vs Man City

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 1-2

“I am still going with a City win, but it is going to be close.”

Mark Lawrenson: 0-2

“I think Pep Guardiola will play a weakened side in this. Brentford have done brilliantly but I’ll go with City to win.”

Paul Merson: 2-2

“I’m going for a 2-2 draw here as Man City could once again play a much-changed squad, with one eye on the two cup finals they have on the horizon.”

Chelsea vs Newcastle

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 0-2

“Chelsea have been woeful for the entire campaign and the bottom four teams are the only ones to have won fewer home games than them this season. There won’t be much for Blues fans to smile about at Stamford Bridge on Sunday either.”

Mark Lawrenson: 1-1

“The mess at Chelsea just continues. Newcastle got the point they needed to qualify for the Champions League on Monday, they’re really strong and on a high. Might be a bit of a come down here, though.”

Paul Merson: 2-2

“The game against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge is the perfect chance for them [Chelsea] to sign off on a high. That said, it will depend a lot on what Newcastle do.”

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 2-0

“Whatever the future holds for Roy [Hodgson], he will want to end this season with a win and Nottingham Forest’s awful away record makes his side heavy favourites, especially with Eberechi Eze in such fine form for the Eagles.”

Mark Lawrenson: 2-1

“It’ll be a bit like a testimonial which could go either way.”

Paul Merson: 3-1

“There’s not much riding on this one, but I just have a feeling Palace will win as they are playing with a lot of freedom.”

Everton vs Bournemouth

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 1-0

“I actually feel like this is an awkward game for Everton. Their fate is in their own hands and I think they will stay up, but Bournemouth will make things difficult for them.”

Mark Lawrenson: 2-1

“I know there are one or two players missing but I’m going to go for them [Everton] to win and stay up.”

Paul Merson: 2-0

“That said, I don’t see Bournemouth turning up, as they don’t have much to play for. Everton, on the other hand, are heading into one of their most important games in Premier League history, so I fancy them to step up and get the job done to avoid relegation.”

Man Utd vs Fulham

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 2-1

“Erik ten Hag’s side have limped over the line a bit in the race for the top four, but their home form has been solid and they should have too much for the Cottagers again this time too.”

Mark Lawrenson: 2-1

“I think United will edge this.”

Paul Merson: 1-2

“Fulham have surprised me this season and they have players who can hurt Manchester United’s backline, so I think they could record a famous win at Old Trafford to cap off what has been a successful return to the top flight.”

Leeds vs Tottenham

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 1-1

“Leeds boss Sam Allardyce has been driven to despair by how bad his side are at the back and he’s only been in charge for three games. That’s why I can’t see Leeds winning this game. Tottenham don’t deserve many plaudits either, though.”

Mark Lawrenson: 1-2

“I was going to go for a draw but Leeds have to win so they’ll go all out in the final 10 minutes and I think Spurs might do them.”

Paul Merson: 2-2

“A draw is no good for either team, so I think this will be an end-to-end gung-ho football match. It’ll suit both teams and if you’re watching this game as a neutral, I think it’ll have bags of goals.”

Leicester vs West Ham

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 2-1

“West Ham may rotate a few players with the Europa Conference League final in mind, but their away form has been poor anyway. They went from the end of August to the start of April without managing a single league success on the road.”

Mark Lawrenson: 1-1

“West Ham have a couple of weeks until the Europa Conference League final so I think Moysey [David Moyes] will go strong and he’ll say to them, ‘You’re playing for your place in the final’. I think this might be a draw.”

Paul Merson: 3-1

“I think Leicester will win and stay up but if they don’t, the likes of James Maddison, Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes will leave as they are too good to be playing in the Championship.”

Southampton vs Liverpool

Pundits predictions

Chris Sutton: 0-2

“I am expecting Mohamed Salah to score and Liverpool to win.”

Mark Lawrenson: 0-2

“I think Liverpool will win this easily and Southampton are in disarray.”

Paul Merson: 0-4

“I think Liverpool will destroy Southampton to finish their season on a positive note, I’m going for a 4-0 win for the away side. On a hot summer’s day down at St Mary’s against a relegated team, they will finish on a blast. Mohamed Salah loves scoring goals and I expect him to play a big role.”
