Brentford need the points as they seek to get into a European competition next season, while West Ham need the points to enhance their chance of remaining in the Premiership. Brentford's last five home Premiership games have been winless, with four draws and one defeat. West Ham have two wins, two defeats, and one draw in their last five Premiership games. Brentford lost their last game, which was away at Manchester United. Meanwhile, West Ham won their last game, which was a home win against Everton. With the fighting spirit that has come into the West Ham players, they are likely to take a very valuable three points.

Newcastle come into this game following four consecutive Premiership defeats. This was preceded by a humiliating defeat to Barcelona where they conceded seven times. Brighton left it very late in their last game to grab a point away at relegation-threatened Tottenham. Newcastle are fourteenth in the table and with Eddie Howe needing a response from his side, I’m backing them to do just that and dent Brighton's European aspirations for next season.

It appears Wolves are trying to give hope to their home supporters that they should be optimistic about a return to Premiership football after a season in the Championship. Prior to losing at home to Tottenham, they had beaten Liverpool and Aston Villa, and drew with Arsenal. If they can show that sort of form against Sunderland, who lost their last away game at Aston Villa, then there is every chance of another home win.

With Manchester City not playing until Monday, Arsenal will want to extend their lead to six points at the top of the Premiership before City play the first of their two games in hand. Fulham have only taken two points from their last three away games. Arsenal won at Fulham earlier in the season and also won their last home game.

With things so tight at the top of the Premiership, it is possible goal difference may decide who are crowned champions. Four of the last five times Arsenal have welcomed Fulham, the game finished with at least three goals. Arsenal will not only be looking for all three points but also to improve their goal difference.

Metz have taken just one point from their last five home games and currently sit bottom of the table, while Monaco are seventh. Monaco have won on their last three visits to Metz.

Bournemouth are higher than Crystal Palace in the table and still have aspirations of European football next season. Their last seven home games have seen them win two and draw five. Crystal Palace lost their last away game at Liverpool. A win today will keep the momentum moving forward for a shot at European football next season.

Both teams have played thirty-four games, with Manchester United one place and three points above Liverpool. Manchester United have improved under the guidance of Michael Carrick. They have won six of their last seven home games and stand on the cusp of Champions League football next season, which could be enough for the board to make Carrick's appointment permanent. In all competitions, Liverpool have lost four of their last five away games.

Tottenham have had a poor season and currently occupy a relegation position with four games remaining. Villa are currently fifth and in a Champions League spot for next season. Villa won this fixture last season and come into this game having won their last two home matches.

George Russell is currently second in the Drivers' Championship table. From the three Grands Prix this season, he has one win to his name. That was in Australia, where he started from pole position. He also had a runner-up spot in China. Now racing in Miami, he could return to winning ways, especially if things go well in qualifying.

Chelsea have been on a poor run of results and have recently got rid of their manager. They have lost their last five Premiership fixtures. Forest are lower in the table but appear to be the form team of the two. They have taken seven points from their last three away Premiership games and could well get the win at Chelsea.

This season Jack Lisowski finally won his first ranking tournament. If he can find that level of form and consistency in Sheffield, then Jack Lisowski could prove to be a lively outsider to lift the trophy. At the time of writing, he still has one more qualifying game to play. Providing he is successful in that match, I cannot see his price being as big as this once the World Championship starts at the weekend.

With first-time defending champions having a bad record at the Crucible, it could be Judd Trump who once again lifts the world crown. Provided he is happy with his cue and tip and finds consistency in his play, then the Ace in the Pack could go all the way.

Having booked their place in the FA Cup final by beating Southampton, Manchester City now turn their attention back to the Premiership. That win against Southampton was their sixth consecutive win in all competitions. As in previous seasons, it appears Manchester City are finishing the season strongly. Everton have lost three of their last five home games and look to be up against it today against a rampant Manchester City. Manchester City have beaten Everton on each of their last nine visits.
