The Premier League season has reached its final act, and while Arsenal have already lifted the trophy, there\u2019s still plenty left to play for on the final day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

European qualification is wide open, with multiple clubs still jostling for Champions League, Europa League and Conference League spots, while at the other end, it\u2019s a straight shootout between Tottenham and West Ham to avoid the drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve previewed all 10 Game Week 38 fixtures and picked out my best betting plays below.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Not much on the line here, but Newcastle look the side more likely to finish the season strong.<\/p>\n

Fulham have fallen away badly, just one win in six, and their home games have turned into low-scoring slogs, losing three of their last five at Craven Cottage, all by a 1-0 scoreline.<\/p>\n

The Magpies have a bit more life about them, unbeaten in three and still chasing a top-half finish, and they\u2019ve quietly had Fulham\u2019s number, winning six of the last eight H2Hs.<\/p>\n

Both of Newcastle\u2019s away wins this calendar year have come in London too.<\/p>\n

Happy to side with the visitors here.<\/p>\n

Man City & Over 3.5 Goals $2.08<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

This has all the makings of a City send-off job.<\/p>\n

Pep\u2019s (potentially) waving goodbye, they\u2019ve gone 15 straight without losing, and they\u2019ve absolutely owned Villa at the Etihad, 15 straight wins, 19 of the last 20\u2026 it\u2019s ugly.<\/p>\n

Villa will still be on the beers after lifting the Europa League midweek, and with nothing really to play for here, this screams rotation + flat spot.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also gone six straight away games without a win\u2026 not ideal heading into this.<\/p>\n

City love a final day win under Pep, and you\u2019d expect them to put on a bit of a show here.<\/p>\n

City to win, and win well.<\/p>\n

Brighton & Hove Albion $1.85<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

This one actually means something.<\/p>\n

Brighton need a win to lock in European football, and potentially even sneak into the Champions League depending on how results fall\u2026 so expect them to come out swinging.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been strong at home too, winning three straight, and they\u2019ve quietly owned United in recent years, taking six of the last eight H2Hs.<\/p>\n

United come in with solid form, but their away record is still shaky, just three wins from their last ten on the road, and they\u2019ve been leaking goals for fun all season.<\/p>\n

Feels like a spot where motivation + matchup edge leans Brighton\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

Seagulls to get it done.<\/p>\n

Burnley $2.45<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Someone has to win\u2026 right?<\/p>\n

This is about as ugly as it gets, but Burnley at least have the slight edge here.<\/p>\n

Wolves have been a disaster all season, still without an away win, and now need to win just to avoid finishing dead last\u2026 not exactly inspiring given they\u2019ve lost nine of their last 11 final day games.<\/p>\n

Burnley haven\u2019t been much better, but Wolves have struggled badly in this matchup, winless in their last five trips to Turf Moor, and losing the reverse fixture earlier this season.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be pretty, but happy to side with the home team in a battle for who\u2019s the least bad.<\/p>\n

Burnley to edge it.<\/p>\n

\n

Plenty of narrative in this one.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are limping to the finish line, but this will be an emotional send-off with Salah and Robertson potentially playing their final game at Anfield\u2026 so you\u2019d expect goals.<\/p>\n

The Reds have been involved in some chaos lately too, with both teams scoring in each of their last five, and their defence has been anything but reliable.<\/p>\n

Brentford still have something to play for in the European race, but their form has fallen off a cliff, just one win in nine, and they\u2019ve struggled badly on the road.<\/p>\n

That said, they can score, and with nothing to lose here, this has all the makings of an open one.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s back the goals.<\/p>\n

\n

What a season this has been from the Cherries.<\/p>\n

Unbeaten in 17 straight league games and already guaranteed European football, with an outside shot at the Champions League\u2026 they\u2019re not done yet.<\/p>\n

Forest have been solid enough in patches, but with nothing to play for here and just four home wins all season, it\u2019s hard to trust them, especially against a side they\u2019ve never beaten in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth have been consistent, they score goals, and they just keep finding a way to get results.<\/p>\n

Feels like they finish the job here.<\/p>\n

Cherries to win.<\/p>\n

\n

This is one of the games of the round.<\/p>\n

Both sides need it, Sunderland chasing a miracle European finish, Chelsea knowing a win locks it in, so expect this to be played at a serious tempo.<\/p>\n

The Black Cats have found some late-season life, and they\u2019ve been strong at home, especially after the break, while Chelsea haven\u2019t kept a clean sheet in 15 straight league games\u2026 yeah.<\/p>\n

The Blues have also seen early goals in recent matches, so don\u2019t be surprised if this opens up quickly.<\/p>\n

Feels like chances at both ends all game.<\/p>\n

BTTS looks the play.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s do or die for the Hammers.<\/p>\n

They have to win, simple as that, and hope results fall their way\u2026 but first things first, they need to take care of business here.<\/p>\n

Form isn\u2019t great, three straight losses, but they\u2019ve been solid enough at home, losing just one of their last seven at the London Stadium, and this is exactly the type of fixture they\u2019ve handled well this season.<\/p>\n

Leeds come in flying, unbeaten in eight, but they\u2019ve struggled away all year, just two wins on the road, and don\u2019t have anywhere near the same pressure on them here.<\/p>\n

Back the desperation angle.<\/p>\n

West Ham to win.<\/p>\n

\n

This could get very, very messy.<\/p>\n

Spurs are playing for their Premier League lives, and while a draw likely keeps them up, this side doesn\u2019t exactly scream \u201ccontrol\u201d right now.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been leaking goals, games have been open, and 12 of their last 17 have gone over the total.<\/p>\n

Everton aren\u2019t exactly flying either, but they\u2019ve been involved in some chaotic away fixtures, conceding exactly two in each of their last five on the road, with BTTS landing in six of their last seven away games.<\/p>\n

With everything on the line for Spurs, this feels like one that opens right up.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s back the goals.<\/p>\n

SGM: Arsenal to Win & Under 3.5 Goals $2.54<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/use><\/svg><\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Champions, no pressure\u2026 but don\u2019t expect Arsenal to take the foot off.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve won four straight without conceding, are building nicely ahead of the Champions League Final, and have completely dominated this matchup, winning eight of the last nine H2Hs.<\/p>\n

Palace have one eye firmly on their European final next week, and Glasner has already flagged rotation\u2026 not ideal against the best team in the league.<\/p>\n

The Gunners don\u2019t tend to play in chaos either, they control games, limit chances, and get the job done.<\/p>\n

Feels like a professional, low-drama win.<\/p>\n

Arsenal to win in a controlled one.<\/p>\n
