Villa’s issues at the back could cost them in their pursuit of Champions League football this season. Unai Emery’s side have been strong at home but have notably only kept two clean sheets at home in the Premier League this term from their 17 games at Villa Park. 

Fulham aren’t much better when it comes to this metric, Marco Silva’s side have only kept five clean sheets in the Premier League all season - only the three promoted sides have kept fewer. This is quite surprising considering that Fulham have been quite an organised side under Silva, but they have been a bit more expansive this term, which still sees them in the race for European football next season. A win here would close the gap to Villa to just three points with three games left to play. 

BTTS landed in the initial meeting between these sides as Villa ran out 3-1 winners. Both sides posed an attacking threat in that game as shown by the xG’s (1.78-1.68) with six big chances in total during the tussle. These numbers suggest that it should be quite an open affair on Saturday afternoon.

Everton may not have much to fight for in the league, but their games at Goodison Park are still worth paying attention to, this is the penultimate game at the iconic stadium before the Toffees make the move to Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium next season. The atmosphere at Goodison Park for the last few games of the campaign should be electric, which aids Everton in wishing for a positive send-off, a likely possibility seeing as their last two home games of the season are against already relegated sides. 

Ipswich have really fallen away in recent weeks with their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle last time out confirming their relegation to the Championship, meaning that the three that came up last season have gone crashing back down with not much resistance - there is a 15 point gap between Ipswich in 18th and West Ham in 17th.

Everton ran out 2-0 winners over Ipswich in the initial meeting between these sides at Portman Road earlier in the season and can overcome a period of inconsistent form against a poor Ipswich side that has only won three of their 17 away games in the Premier League this season. The average position of Everton’s last five opponents in the Premier League is 3.8, they’ve had quite difficult fixtures recently and their form should pick up against a side that will already be looking ahead to their Championship campaign next term.

Leicester have received two or more cards in four of their last five Premier League games. While Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s team have nothing left to play for, the Foxes will still be eager to put on a spirited performance for the home crowd. That’s especially true given their poor record at the King Power Stadium, where they haven’t scored in their last nine league matches.

In the reverse fixture earlier this season, the game saw nine cards in total, with three shown to Leicester. The Foxes have collected 80 yellow cards in the league so far (an average of 2.35 per match), with only Southampton, Bournemouth, and Chelsea accumulating more.

Bournemouth’s aggressive nature off the ball has seen them sit among the top-ranked sides for fouls and cards this season. Andoni Iraola’s side are averaging 13.5 fouls committed per game in the Premier League this season, more than any other side in the division. 

This record has resulted in the Cherries picking up 88 yellow cards this season (2.58 per game) - only Chelsea have received more (92). Bournemouth committed 12 fouls but only collected one card in the initial meeting between the sides, however the gamestate was heavily altered by an early red card for William Saliba.

Arsenal have collected 60 yellow cards in the Premier League this season (1.76 per game), 28 fewer than their opponents here. Bournemouth have picked up 2+ cards in four of their last five Premier League matches and received five yellow cards last time out against Man United, including a red card for Evanilson which has since been rescinded.
