The battle for European spots continues to be the point of attraction with Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Aston Villa remain in the hunt for Champions League football with just five games remaining.

With a packed schedule running from Tuesday through Sunday, bettors have plenty of intriguing fixtures to choose from.

We dive into the stats, analyse the odds, and make some savvy bets as we break down the potential outcomes of selected games.

Arsenal – Crystal Palace, Wednesday, 8:00 pm

While Arsenal’s hopes of lifting the Premier League title may have faded, they remain determined to postpone Liverpool’s celebrations for as long as possible. 

With the knowledge that a defeat would confirm Liverpool as champions, the Gunners will be highly motivated against a Crystal Palace side they have beaten in their last five league meetings. 

After a run of five consecutive wins, Palace’s momentum has slowed, managing just one victory in their last five matches. Arsenal, priced at 2/5 on bet365, will look to capitalise on this opportunity and finish the season strongly.

Tip: Arsenal to win @2/5

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Arsenal beat Crystal Palace regardless of the score line.

Chelsea – Everton, Saturday, 12:30 pm

An early kick-off against a David Moyes-led side is always a challenging prospect in the Premier League. 

Chelsea will be buoyed by their dramatic late comeback against Fulham, but Everton, under Moyes, have shown real defensive resilience, conceding more than once in just one of their last five matches, despite facing top teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City.

While Chelsea have struggled for wins in their last two home games against Legia and Ipswich, Everton recently ground out a 1-0 away victory at Nottingham Forest. With uncertainty lingering over this fixture at Stamford Bridge, and both teams showing unpredictable form, it may be wise to take a cautious approach before making any predictions.

Tip: No bet

Brighton – West Ham, Saturday, 3:00 pm

Both Brighton and West Ham are enduring a difficult spell, with neither side managing a win in their last six matches. 

Defensive struggles have been at the heart of their problems - West Ham’s last clean sheet came back in February against Leicester City, while Brighton’s most recent shutout was also in February, in a 4-0 win over Southampton. 

Despite their defensive issues, both teams have found the net in each of their last three games, making "both teams to score" at 7/10 on bet365 an appealing option. With attacking talent on display but clean sheets proving elusive, goals are likely as both teams look to end their winless runs.

Tip: Both teams to score @7/10

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Brighton and West Ham score at least one goal each in the game.    

Newcastle – Ipswich, Saturday, 2:00 pm

Despite last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa, Newcastle’s recent form remains impressive, with six consecutive wins prior to that setback.

Next up for Eddie Howe’s side is an Ipswich team just one defeat away from relegation to the Championship.

Newcastle are clear favourites at 11/50 on bet365, having won seven straight matches against promoted teams, including a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Ipswich earlier this season.

Tip: Newcastle to win @11/50

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Newcastle beat Ipswich regardless of the score line.

Bournemouth – Manchester United, Saturday, 3:00 pm

Given Manchester United’s crucial Europa League semi-final in the following week, it’s unlikely Ruben Amorim will field his strongest starting XI against Bournemouth. 

This presents a real opportunity for Bournemouth to take advantage at home, especially with United’s focus shifting toward their European ambitions. While the Cherries have enjoyed recent success at Old Trafford, you have to go back to 2019 for their last home victory over Manchester United. 

Recent encounters between the sides have been entertaining, with each of the last three head-to-heads producing more than three goals. With both teams likely to play on the front foot, “over 2.5 goals” at 33/50 on bet365 looks like a promising option.

Tip: Over 2.5@33/50

Bet explanation: This bet wins if two or more goals are scored in the game between Bournemouth and Manchester United.

Liverpool – Tottenham, Saturday, 4:30 pm

A victory for Liverpool this weekend would officially secure the Premier League title for the Reds in the 2024/25 season, a prospect that will inspire Arne Slot’s side especially in front of their passionate Anfield supporters.

Liverpool enter this match as overwhelming favorites, with Anfield's formidable atmosphere and their recent home dominance (six straight Premier League wins) bolstering their case. Tottenham, meanwhile, face an uphill battle, having struggled for consistency this season.

All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah, who, despite not scoring in his last four appearances, remains a key threat. Salah is priced at 3/10 to score or assist against Tottenham on bet365, and with 11 goals and 4 assists in 15 league games against Spurs, he has a proven track record against this opponent.

Tip: Salah to score or assist @3/10

Bet explanation: This bet wins if Mohamed Salah scores or provides an assist in the game against Tottenham.
