EPL Matchweek 38 betting preview, top picks & predictions

The 2023-24 Premier League title will be decided on the final day of the season, with Manchester City and Arsenal both vying for the coveted prize. Here are our free EPL betting picks and predictions for all games in Matchweek 38.

Arsenal vs Everton

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Emirates Stadium

Arsenal are still title contenders, despite slipping to second place following Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night. Two points behind City, expect the Gunners to convincingly beat Everton on home turf, with Bukayo Saka getting on the scoresheet.

Brentford vs Newcastle United

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Gtech Community Stadium

Newcastle United should maintain their dominance over Brentford, who they have defeated in their last four meetings. Expect Swedish forward Alexander Isak to improve on his season tally of 20 goals for the Magpies.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Amex Stadium

On course to register one of their worst EPL seasons, Manchester United could add to their unwanted stats on their trip to the Amex Stadium. Despite their midweek win over Newcastle, the Red Devils are crawling to the finish line, so Brighton have a big chance to beat them for the fifth time in six meetings.

Burnley vs Nottingham Forest

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Turf Moor

Hovering just above the relegation zone, Nottingham Forest need nothing less than a win against Burnley, who were demoted to the Championship following last Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Spurs. Expect a Forest win against a Burnley side with nothing to play for.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Stamford Bridge

On track to secure European football, Chelsea enter this fixture as short-priced favourites with online bookmakers. Despite having a midweek catchup match with Brighton, the in-form Blues should obliterate a Bournemouth side coming off two consecutive losses.

Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Selhurst Park

Aston Villa, who secured Champions League football after Tottenham’s defeat to Manchester City, face a stern test against a blistering Crystal Palace boasting five wins from their last six games. Keep an eye out for Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has scored six goals in his last six games for Palace.

Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Anfield

Unable to sustain their title charge, Liverpool will be aiming to deliver an emphatic performance against struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers. Expect a goal-laden spectacle as Jurgen Klopp bids farewell to Anfield after nine years in charge of the Reds.

Luton Town vs Fulham

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Kenilworth Road

Sitting in the danger zone ahead of their final game of the season, the odds are not in favour of Luton Town, who need to win by an unrealistic margin to avoid relegation. Despite both Luton and Fulham having just one win from their last seven games, a victory to the visitors appears the most plausible outcome.

Manchester City vs West Ham United

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Etihad Stadium

On the verge of becoming the first team to win fourth consecutive Premier League titles, leaders Manchester City look destined for a five-star performance against West Ham United. Expect Erling Haaland to extend his impressive goalscoring form, clinching the Golden Boot for the second year running.

Sheffield United vs Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday, May 19 – 4pm BST – Bramall Lane

Out of the Champions League race after their crushing defeat to Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to conclude the season promisingly with a win over Sheffield United. Spurs should manage a resounding victory over already-relegated Sheffield United, who haven’t won a match since February.
