Manchester City travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday knowing a win will seal their place in next season’s Champions League. Unbeaten in their last nine Premier League games, the Cityzens have already secured at least a Conference League spot, but with expectations far higher, they’ll be looking to lock in a top-four finish in style.

Fulham, meanwhile, have a torrid record against City. They’ve failed to win any of their last 20 meetings, and City have scored three or more goals in each of the last three encounters between the two sides.

With form, history, and motivation all in City’s favour, another comfortable result feels likely. A 2-0 or 3-1 away win is the most probable outcome.

Liverpool will be in high spirits on Sunday as they prepare to lift the Premier League trophy in front of a jubilant Anfield crowd, regardless of the result. With the title already secured, this match is less about points and more about celebration.

Crystal Palace, however, arrive with silverware of their own, having stunned Manchester City to claim their first ever major trophy in last weekend’s FA Cup final. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last five domestic matches, including a commanding 4-2 win over Wolves, and will be full of confidence heading into the final day.

With both teams riding emotional highs, this could be an open, entertaining affair. We’re leaning towards an outside pick here: a 2-1 win for Palace to end their historic season in style.

It’s a final day clash between two sides with vastly different outlooks: the Red Devils and the Villans, a battle of the anti-heroes, perhaps.

Manchester United arrive off the back of a crushing European exit in Bilbao, missing what many saw as a golden chance to salvage an otherwise dismal season. Morale will undoubtedly be low, and their winless run now stretches to eight domestic matches.

Aston Villa, by contrast, can look back on their season with pride. While they narrowly missed out on a Champions League semi-final, they still have everything to play for. A win here is essential if they’re to secure a place in next year’s Champions League.

Given the stakes, Villa’s sharper form, and an emotionally drained United side, a professional away win looks likely. A 1-0 or 2-0 victory for the Villans is our prediction.

The Champions League race has come down to the wire this season, with Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa all level on 66 points, and Forest just one point behind in 7th. The Magpies will be aiming for all three points here, but a draw could still be enough to secure a top-four finish depending on other results.

Everton arrive on the back of two impressive wins, both by two-goal margins against Fulham and Southampton, but their form against top-seven opposition has been far less consistent. In their last eight domestic games, they’ve suffered defeats to Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool, drawn with runners-up Arsenal, and managed a win over Forest, making it difficult to predict which version of the Toffees will turn up.

The last two meetings between these sides ended level, and with Newcastle missing several key players, including Alexander Isak, Joelinton, and Kieran Trippier, another stalemate feels very possible. We’re backing a 1-1 draw.

This is set to be a fiercely competitive clash, with both sides desperate for three points to secure Champions League qualification. Chelsea can’t afford to slip up, a defeat could see them overtaken by Aston Villa and end their top-four hopes entirely.

Complicating matters for the Blues is their looming Conference League final against Real Betis just a few days later, which may influence squad rotation or focus.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, will be fully locked in. However, their recent record against Chelsea doesn’t inspire much confidence, with just one win in their last eight meetings.

It’s a difficult one to call, but the intensity and stakes guarantee a fiery affair. We’re leaning towards either a tightly contested 1-1 draw or a narrow 2-1 win for Chelsea.

Tottenham may still be riding the high of their recent Europa League triumph - a result that added some gloss to what was otherwise a dismal domestic campaign, with 21 Premier League defeats and just 38 points.

While their European run ended in glory, their league form tells a different story. Spurs are winless in their last six Premier League matches and have failed to score in two of those outings, highlighting ongoing struggles in front of goal.

Brighton, on the other hand, come into this fixture in better form, winning three of their last five, including an impressive 3-2 victory over champions Liverpool. With motivation to finish strongly and Tottenham perhaps shifting their focus off the league, a narrow Brighton win isn’t out of the question.

We’re backing a 1-0 victory for the Seagulls.
