some really good stuff at Newcastle last week without success, and I\u2019d more than expect them to bounce back at home to Wolves on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one team you want to play to bounce back and get a result this season more times than not it has been Wolves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Brighton win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fulham v Bournemouth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bournemouth could put the pressure on those teams currently in the Champions League spots on Saturday because their recruitment has been unbelievable this season.<\/p>\n<p>For them to sell who they\u2019ve sold and be in a much better position than they were last year is incredible, and it wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they went to Fulham and took all three points, so I\u2019m going to say three points for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<p>Fulham have been a bit better at home, but they are difficult to predict, and with uncertainty about the manager, for all those reasons, I\u2019ll go for an away win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Bournemouth win<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div

that has not been the case of late.\u00a0I guess with Xhaka being out for that amount of time, it didn\u2019t help them. They got stung a couple of times. Yeah, tough one to predict, this one. I\u2019m going to go for a draw.<\/p>\n<p>I would hope Man United won\u2019t be on the beach now having qualified for Champions League football next season. I would hope that because of what the manager\u2019s done and the success that he\u2019s had, that they\u2019d want to stamp his authority on the team and help get him the job and that means going and winning every game between now and the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Manchester City v Brentford<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Brentford have European hopes and they\u2019ve had a brilliant season.

But I\u2019d be amazed if City didn\u2019t get the job done, particularly with City being at home, I\u2019d be amazed if City didn\u2019t take all three points especially after dropping points to Everton last time out.

against Spurs last week and they know what they need to do to get Champions League football next season, and depending on what happens tomorrow evening in Europe they might need to win even more than they did.<\/p>\n<p>As you know,\u00a0no one\u2019s got that belief in Burnley. They\u2019ve got rid of the manager, the season can\u2019t end quick enough for them, so an away win for Aston Villa. Whatever happens to them in the Europa League on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Aston Villa win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crystal Palace v Everton<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Everton would\u2019ve taken the point on Monday before the game against City, it\u2019s just the manner that it happened though, you get into a great position at 3-1 and then you give two late goals away. They just switched off after they scored that third goal.<\/p>\n<p>I think Crystal Palace will do what they\u2019ve done in the last few games, which is rest 3 or 4 players and leave them on the bench. I think they\u2019ll do the same again, and for that reason, I\u2019ll say Everton will win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Everton win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nottingham Forest v Newcastle<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Tough one to predict, depending on what happens with Nottingham Forest in Europe. I mean, Morgan Gibbs-White is flying. I know he got an injury the other day, whether he\u2019ll be fit or not, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>But again, I think, given the circumstances, with Forest in Europe and Newcastle winning last weekend, I\u2019m going to say a draw.<\/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\/05\/GettyImages-2274824172.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=594\" class=\"article-image wp-image-28278271\" alt=\"Newcastle United Training Session\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>West Ham v Arsenal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I think West Ham were really poor defensively at Brentford last weekend. They gave too many chances away, too many goals.<\/p>\n<p>I think Arsenal will win this weekend having that belief and confidence that they\u2019ve got at the club now, knowing that it\u2019s such a tough game, but I\u2019m just going to edge on the side of Arsenal taking the three points, which would put West Ham in a difficult position in terms of relegation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Arsenal win<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tottenham v Leeds United<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Leeds are going to play a huge part in who gets relegated, because they play both Spurs and West Ham. It\u2019s fascinating, but I think with what I saw from Spurs last week, they may just have enough now to stay up. And I guess with the energy that they showed the other day, I think they\u2019ll have enough to beat Leeds at home. Spurs to win.<\/p>\n<p>Roberto De Zerbi has got a shift out of those players, and you didn\u2019t see any of that six or seven weeks ago. It looks a brilliant move now to bring De Zerbi in when they did, that\u2019s the reason why they did it then it was to get something different out of the players that they had not been showing, and it looks as if he\u2019s getting that difference now which they\u2019ve not had for large parts of this season, or for any of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction \u2013 Tottenham win<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/><br \/>\n<strong>Facebook,\u00a0<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Metro_Sport\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Bunny Shaw speaks out on Man City exit amid Chelsea transfer links<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: \u2018All day long!\u2019 \u2013 Paul Merson makes Manchester United and Liverpool Premier League claim<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"metro-more-link\"><svg><title>Arrow<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#common-right-arrow\" href=\"#common-right-arrow\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"mor-link\" data-track-module=\"mor-link_article\">MORE: Chelsea tipped to sell \u00a330m signing after just one season<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"share-buttons-bottom\" class=\"share-buttons share-buttons-bottom\">\n\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Comment now<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-comment\" href=\"#social-comment\"\/><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-comments__label\">Comments<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span><svg><title>Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google<\/title>\n<use xlink:href=\"#social-preferred-source\" href=\"#social-preferred-source\"\/><\/svg><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"share-bar-preferred-source__label\">Add as preferred source<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
