Premier League Matchday 37 Predictions

Manchester United v Fulham

It is completely understandable that Manchester United have more than one eye on the Europa League final that is coming up, but that does not change the fact they have lost their past two league games at Old Trafford. With fans back in the stadium, I can not see that run continuing. Scott Parker has said numerous times this season that they are unable to compete at this level and this could be another example to prove him right.

Prediction 3-0

Southampton v Leeds

These are two teams who both began the season like a train and looked like exceeding all expectations, but they have gone in very different directions since. The Saints have fallen by the wayside and will be grateful for such a strong start, while Leeds have maintained that run and will finish in the top half on their first season back in the Premier League. That is an outstanding achievement and I fancy them to win this one too.

Prediction 1-2

Brighton v Manchester City

Brighton have been within sight of the relegation zone all season but have never really looked like going down. Their recent run of results is actually quite good, although I think that will end here. City have got two league games to prepare for the Champions League final and I can see them winning them both very comfortably.

Prediction 0-3

Chelsea v Leicester

Something tells me this will be a much better and open game than the cup final was where Youri Tielemans scored the only goal of the game. Chelsea dominated possession, had lots of decent chances and looked in control of the game. For the second game running, however, they could not put the ball in the net. Liverpool's late winner at The Hawthorns means the Blues really need to win this if they are to keep top four hopes in their own hands. The Foxes will be happy with a draw and that is what I think they will get.

Prediction 1-1

Everton v Wolves

Everton's European hopes are all but over after their defeat against Sheffield United at the weekend. Richarlison looked completely out of sorts and Ben Godfrey looked like he was on the beach already by the way he switched off for the winning goal. Wolves have been on the beach for a few weeks themselves and honestly there is not much point to this game because I can't see either team trying to win it.

Prediction 0-0

Newcastle v Sheffield United

Steve Bruce should be very proud of how his side pushed Manchester City all the way last time when they lost a thrilling game 4-3. They should have the better of this game and there's a lot of players who have a point to prove still. Paul Heckingbotham would have been delighted to get his first win as caretaker manager and might well fancy another here.

Prediction 1-1

Tottenham v Aston Villa

The news this week that Harry Kane has asked to leave Spurs in the summer is no major shock and a huge blow to the team and the fans. Without his goals this season they would be in the bottom half without doubt. Aston Villa looked better at Selhurst Park last time out but they still fell to defeat and I think they will suffer another one here.

Prediction 2-1

Crystal Palace v Arsenal

Palace were very impressive in their comeback win against Aston Villa at the weekend. Despite that result, I reckon Roy Hodgson's future one way or another has already been decided and they are waiting until the season finishes to make an announcement. Arsenal completed the double over Chelsea last week and I expect them to end the season with another couple of wins - that would be five wins in a row to end a disappointing campaign.

Prediction 1-2

Burnley v Liverpool

It is very unusual for a Sean Dyche team to be ripped apart in a game but Leeds did just that to them at the weekend. They looked clueless going forward and a complete shambles at the back. I expect them to sit deeper here and they should be better organised as a result. Liverpool had Allison to thank at the weekend and they need two more wins to give themselves a chance of making the top four.

Prediction 0-2

West Brom v West Ham

Sam Allardyce must have been in disbelief by what he saw at the weekend. His defence allowed Allison to stroll into the area and head the ball home completely unmarked. It doesn't matter to them though, while West Ham are still trying to get a European place. Even if they just miss out it has still been an amazing season for the. Having said that, I think they will get the points here.

Prediction 1-2

Nobody Is Perfect

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. Some of you might have been expecting a football blog today, however, due to the international break, I thought I would give you something with a bit more substance. Before I begin, I want to thank Shan for her incredible article on Monday about mental wellbeing during the current pandemic. There were some highly inspirational words that we can all live by during these difficult times. If you show it enough support then I might even ask Shan to come back for a part 2? For today's topic, I wanted to do a follow-up to Chloe Johnson's amazing guest article which she wrote about how the impact of social media affects the way we all see ourselves, and the way we all strive to match the 'perfection' of models with the help of Instagram filters. As Chloe made the point of saying, these are not real. But our mind does not know this and always tells us that we must improve, even when there is nothing wrong with us. So...

FA Cup Final Preview - Arsenal v Chelsea

Good afternoon and welcome back to this afternoon's blog. What a funny week we have had. Scotland are beginning to ease their way out of lockdown, while some parts of England are heading towards a second one. Some tests events on getting supporters back into sports venues have been cancelled, while claims have been made this morning that the death numbers reported by the Government are inflated. It's becoming very difficult to know who or what to believe in the current climate. We all should just continue to follow our local advice and hopefully as a country we are moving in the right direction towards returning to a normal life. I feel like this was the only topic I could choose for today's blog (I am an Arsenal fan after all). The biggest game of the English football season. A historic competition entered by over 750 teams back in August, and now only 2 remain. Not only is it a major cup final, but it's also a London derby. These 2 teams quite often compete for silver...

I Have A Voice

Good afternoon and welcome back to the second instalment of my blog. Thank you to all those who read my post on Monday. I was not expecting so many of you to take time out your day to learn about me (to be fair you probably had nothing better to do). But seriously though, as I write this the 'This Is Me' post has 260 views! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single one of you. I thought I would follow on from the previous post and let you in to another part of my life. This is a very sensitive topic, one I very rarely talk about with anyone. I am expecting to get somewhat emotional during this, but hopefully this will inspire people to open up about their inner most thoughts and feelings. The hardest part about writing this is the constant reminder of the negativity that was put on my life on a daily basis. Before I get into my story, let me provide you with some background first. People get bullied. Others are bullies. The way I see it, bullies are only mean to oth...
