class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having looked less stable at the back recently, Al Hain-Cole thinks the Blues will have to fight hard for victory against Smith's confident team

Chelsea will be aiming to secure their place in the Premier League’s top four when they travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa on Sunday.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are a point ahead of both Liverpool and Leicester in third place, meaning anything less than victory could see them drop out of the Champions League places on the final day.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Having won seven and lost none of the last eight games against this opposition, they are 9/20 (1.45) favourites with bet365 to make sure of third place by coming out on top here.

The Villans can finish no higher or lower than 11th place but are available at 11/2 (6.50) to give their returning fans a memorable send off to a successful season by pulling off a shock win.

These sides shared a 1-1 draw in December’s reverse encounter at Stamford Bridge, and you can get odds of 15/4 (4.75) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Matthew Cash, Morgan Sanson and Trezeguet are all ruled out due to injury, while Ross Barkley is ineligible to face his parent club.

N’Golo Kante is a doubt after being forced off in Tuesday’s win over Leicester with a minor injury, although Kai Havertz should return from the hamstring injury that he picked up in last weekend’s FA Cup final defeat.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Preview

Having scuppered Tottenham’s European qualification bid with a 2-1 away win in midweek, Dean Smith’s team will be looking to do the same against a team that must have one eye on their upcoming Champions League final.

Boosted by the return of fans to the stadium and Jack Grealish’s comeback from a long injury, they will go into this clash in high spirits and optimistic of getting on target for the ninth match in 10.

Indeed, the Blues’ previously watertight defence has now gone four matches without a clean sheet, having kept 18 in the previous 24 fixtures in all competitions.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Although likely to prove too strong as they push for a crucial three points, odds of 8/5 (2.60) seem generous on Chelsea coming out on top despite seeing goals at both ends for Villa’s ninth match in 10.

Premier League champions Manchester City welcome Everton to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon as Pep Guardiola’s men aim to round off a memorable campaign in style.

The Citizens have cantered to their third title in four years and with fans allowed into the stadium to see them lift the trophy this weekend, they will no doubt want to put in a strong performance.

There is also the small matter of City’s first ever Champions League final next weekend, so they are likely to keep something in reserve as they prepare to face Chelsea in that.

Manchester City vs Everton Latest Odds

City have lost three of their last six Premier League matches, although that run has not had any bearing on their season.

The hosts are priced at 4/9 (1.44) to claim a victory with bet365 while the draw can be backed at 4/1 (5.00).

Everton need to better Tottenham’s result against Leicester and Arsenal’s versus Brighton to have any chance of reaching the newly-formed UEFA Conference League, and they are offered at 11/2 (6.50) to give themselves the best chance of doing so by beating the champions.

Manchester City vs Everton Team News

It remains to be seen how many players Guardiola choses to rest ahead of next weekend’s Champions League final, but Joao Cancelo is suspended, while Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan are all doubtful and unlikely to be risked.

The visitors are without Jean-Philippe Gbamin who has a knee injury, although James Rodriguez could return after missing Everton’s last game with fatigue.

Manchester City vs Everton Preview

The hosts’ last few matches have been full of goals and excitement, with a 4-3 win at Newcastle followed by a 3-2 defeat at Brighton.

Something similar could unfold at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday with City hoping to entertain but also perhaps lacking full concentration at the back.

The previous league meeting saw them play out an entertaining encounter at Goodison Park where City eventually triumphed 3-1, and taking the tally of goals to 35 in the most recent 11 encounters.

Indeed, both teams to score has paid out in seven of the last nine league clashes and backing more strikes on Sunday makes plenty of sense.

Manchester City vs Everton Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/5 (1.80) and looks like an excellent selection, while combining this bet with over 2.5 goals sees the odds rise to 11/10 (2.10).

Five of the last six games between City and Everton have seen goals at both ends and at least three goals, making this a highly attractive option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have been in excellent form in recent weeks and Goal is backing them to secure a Champions League berth by recording a high-scoring win

Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield on the final day of the Premier League season with Jurgen Klopp’s men hoping to secure Champions League football.

A win for the Reds would book their place in Europe’s premier club competition, while they could even afford to drop points provided they match Leicester City’s result at Tottenham.

Palace, meanwhile, have nothing but pride at stake but will want to give retiring manager Roy Hodgson a perfect send-off at the ground where he was in charge for six months back in 2010.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Latest Odds

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last nine league matches, recording seven wins and two draws – a run which has seen them make an unlikely charge into the top four.

The disastrous home form of a few months ago has been put behind them and bet365 offer Sunday’s hosts at 7/50 (1.14) to claim a victory.

Palace can be backed at 14/1 (15.00) to spoil the party with a win or claim a creditable draw at 15/2 (8.50).

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Team News

Jurgen Klopp has serious doubts over Diogo Jota and Naby Keita, while his long-term injury list remains one of the longest in the division with Jordan Henderson, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk and Ozan Kabak among those who are still sidelined.

Palace also have numerous absentees with James McArthur, Connor Wickham, Eberechi Eze, and Mamadou Sahko all out and Christian Benteke, Luka Milivojevic and Scott Dann all doutbful. 

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Preview

The Reds’ strong finish to the season has seen them rediscover their goalscoring touch, scoring 11 times in their last four, and even goalkeeper Alisson got in on the act with a dramatic winner at West Brom.

Given that a place in the Champions League is on the line, they should be backed to put in another big performance against a Palace team whose season has been effectively over for a while.

The Eagles have one of the leakiest defences on the road in the division, conceding 32 times away from home, and backing Liverpool to maintain the good feeling by putting a few goals past Vicente Guaita makes plenty of sense.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Tips and Predictions

Liverpool to win and score over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/6 (1.66), while backing the hosts to win with a -2 handicap at 11/10 (2.10) looks like an appealing option.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Europa League finals tend to produce plenty of goals and Wednesday night's showpiece in Poland should prove to be another open and entertaining clash

Manchester United face Villarreal on Wednesday evening in the Europa League final at the Gdansk Arena in a meeting of two sides with contrasting experience.

The Yellow Submarine have never featured in a continental showpiece, while the Red Devils won this competition four years ago and have also been European champions on three occasions.

With that in mind, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are clear favourites to triumph in Poland and claim what would be their first piece of silverware since 2017.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Latest Odds

Unai Emery has an exceptional record in this competition, having won it three times, but his team are priced at 15/4 (4.75) to win in 90 minutes and at 2/1 (3.00) to lift the trophy with bet365.

United, meanwhile, are offered at 4/5 (1.80) to win without extra time and at 2/5 (1.40) to be crowned champions.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Team News

The hosts are likely to be without winger Samu Chukweze and midfielder Vicente Iborra is unlikely to feature despite returning to training last week after five months out, although on-loan Tottenham defender Juan Foyth has could be fit enough.

United captain Harry Maguire faces a late fitness test but does not look likely to play a part along with injured pair Anthony Martial and Phil Jones.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Preview

Villarreal are understandably big underdogs against one of the giants of world football, yet Emery’s team will be far from an easy prospect for United.

The Valencia-based side have an extremely strong scoring record, netting in 23 of their last 25 matches in all competitions, and in Gerard Moreno they boast one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe.

Man United have also been strong in the final third, scoring in 18 of their most recent 19 matches, while in the Europa League they have scored in every game they have played apart from the second leg of their clash with Real Sociedad where they already had a 4-0 aggregate lead.

Europa League finals tend to be open affairs, with the last six finals producing a total of 24 goals, and backing another entertaining encounter looks like a smart move. 

Villarreal vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

Both teams to score is offered at the extremely healthy looking price of 19/20 (1.95), given both sides’ respective scoring records.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The final of this season's Europa League sees two attacking sides go head-to-head in Poland and Goal has taken a look at the likely goalscorers

Manchester United face Villarreal in the Europa League final on Wednesday evening in what promises to be an open and exciting showpiece.

Both sides boast excellent scoring records heading into the match in Gdansk and there are plenty of players who will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Latest Goalscorer Odds

Leading bet365’s anytime goalscorer market are Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes, with each offered at the very tempting price of  13/8 (2.62) to find the back of the net.

Those two players are United’s joint top scorers in the competition, having each bagged five Europa League goals this term and finished the domestic season strongly.

Mason Greenwood is also offered at the same price, although the teenager has only scored once in the tournament and may not be picked to start in Poland.

Villarreal’s shortest-priced players are Gerard Moreno and Paco Alcacer, who are both available at 12/5 (3.40) .

Of the two, Moreno is the much more appealing option at those odds because of how absolutely vital the Spain striker is for Villarreal.

Indeed, he scored nearly four times as many goals as Alcacer in La Liga this season, claiming 23 strikes to his partner’s six, although both do have six in Europe.

Elsewhere in the market, Paul Pogba scored in United’s 6-2 win over Roma in the semi-final and is offered at 9/2 (5.50) , while Villarreal’s midfield metronome Dani Parejo can be backed at 4/1 (5.00) to net what would be his first continental goal for the club.

Villarreal vs Manchester United Tips and Predictions

There should be plenty of interest in backing Gerard Moreno to score at 12/5 (3.40) given how generous this price looks for an in-form striker who has netted 29 goals this season.

The Yellow Submarine have scored in 23 of their last 25 competitive matches and if they are to do so once more in Poland, their most prolific player looks the most likely candidate.

For a value bet, backing Bruno Fernandes to open the scoring at 5/1 (6.00) could appeal with eight of the Portuguese’s 18 Premier League goals this term having broken the deadlock, while in the Europa League two of his four strikes have been the first of the game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Well rested and full of confidence, Al Hain-Cole expects Guardiola's men to complete their treble when they face a Blues team that has lost its way

Manchester City will be hoping to land their elusive first Champions League title when they take on Chelsea in Saturday’s final at the Estadio Do Dragao.

Pep Guardiola’s men have dominated domestically since his arrival, winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four Carabao Cups.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Latest Odds

Having reached the final of this competition for the first time, they are 5/6 (1.83) favourites with bet365 to finally translate that success to the continental stage by coming out on top in Porto.

However, the Blues have recorded two victories over this opposition within the last few weeks and are available at 18/5 (4.60) to make it three in a row to lift this trophy for the second time in their history.

Just one of the last 16 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 12/5 (3.40) on them taking this clash into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Team News

Ilkay Gundogan should be fit to start after being kept on the bench in the 5-0 final day win over Everton, leaving Guardiola with a fully fit squad to choose from.

Edouard Mendy and N’Golo Kante will be optimistic of taking their places in the starting line-up after returning to full training following injury.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Preview

After setting down a marker with their 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium three weeks ago, Thomas Tuchel’s team now come into this final in far less intimidating shape.

Indeed, they were relieved to scrape into the Premier League’s top four despite losing against Aston Villa on the final day, a third defeat in a run of four matches that also included their upset against Leicester in the FA Cup final.

In contrast, the Citizens demonstrated their embarrassment of riches by thrashing Everton 5-0 in their last league game, having recalled the likes of Kevin De Bruyne to the starting line-up after largely resting key players since tying up the league title a couple of weeks ago.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Tips and Predictions

Likely to come into the game feeling the fresher and more confident side, City now look well worth those 5/6 (1.83) odds to overcome a Chelsea team they finished 19 points ahead of in the league.
