I know they got him the season before, but he got an injury and didn\u2019t play too many games, and I think for what Brentford did in selling who they sold in Wissa and then Mbuemo, for him to come in and only be one goal behind Erling Haaland is remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s really horrible to play against. It\u2019s not just his goals, he does a lot of work off the ball, running in behind, bringing people into the game.<\/p>\n<p>The goals are obviously an added bonus, but there\u2019s no doubt here he\u2019ll feature in the Premier League team of the Season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Brentford win<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"594\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2270415709.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28001057\" alt=\"Brentford v Everton - Premier League\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Brentford are flying in the Premier League (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leeds v Wolves<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If Leeds win this, then they\u2019re staying up.

They know what\u2019s at stake and I think they\u2019ll beat Wolves. Wolves have been poor.

When they get into the lead, they can\u2019t get that second goal, and that\u2019s hurt them so many times this season.<\/p>\n<p>I was massively impressed with Bournemouth last weekend with how they played at Arsenal. Some really top performances from a lot of players, and their recruitment\u2019s been good.<\/p>\n<p>I know Iraola\u2019s announced he\u2019s not going to be there next season.\u00a0That will be a huge loss for them.

You know what I\u2019m like when it comes to derby games. I\u2019m going to sit on the fence and say it\u2019s going to be a draw. I was going to say to keep both fans happy, but I\u2019m not sure they will be.<\/p>\n<p>Everton are having a brilliant season whereas Liverpool are not, so I think it\u2019ll be a draw.\u00a0Liverpool playing in midweek should not affect them\u00a0because it\u2019s a derby game, and we know what derby games are like, and there\u2019s always an added, extra atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The midweek game is no excuse at all for Liverpool because of the size of this game and what it means to the people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"594\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2271423717.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28001101\" alt=\"Liverpool FC v Paris Saint-Germain FC - UEFA Champions League 2025\/26 Quarter-Final Second Leg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Arne Slot is under huge pressure at Liverpool (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nottingham Forest v Burnley<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I think a home win here for Nottingham Forest. If they want to stay up, then they have to be winning these games.<\/p>\n<p>I think Burnley will make it as tough as possible for them, but Burnley are done and have been for a while so I\u2019ll go for a home win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Nottingham Forest win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Manchester City v Arsenal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The whole season effectively comes down to this game. I think it\u2019s huge and the biggest game of the season for both clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Confidence and momentum is such a big thing, which is why I\u2019m going to say a Man City home win. I think the belief they\u2019ll get from beating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and the performances of the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I think a draw would be a good result for Arsenal, but I think City might have too much for them.

They\u2019ve won their first trophy and could even end up getting the treble.<\/p>\n<p>I just think with the momentum that they\u2019ve got and the confidence that they\u2019ve got, I think they might have too much.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019d be really interesting to see what Arsenal do, whether they sort of sit back or try to take the game to City, but I think City might just have too much for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Manchester City win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crystal Palace v West Ham<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Crystal Palace beat Newcastle last week; they brought the three key players on for the last half an hour or so which won them the game. And they are in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that,\u00a0I\u2019ve got a sneaky feeling West Ham might go there and nick something. I don\u2019t think West Ham will be beaten.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on what team Glasner wants to put out, because obviously they have a European game, I\u2019m going to say a West Ham away win which doesn\u2019t bode well for Tottenham.
