Liverpool vs Barcelona
Tuesday 7th May 2019
UEFA Champions League Semi-Final, Anfield

Live on BT Sport 2 – kick-off: 20:00 BST

Liverpool vs Barcelona: Liverpool will be hoping to launch another one of the Champions League’s most famous comebacks as they bid to overturn a three-goal deficit against Barcelona on Tuesday.

The Reds suffered a disappointing 3-0 reverse in Catalonia last week, with Lionel Messi at his sublime best. A brace from the Argentine, coupled with a Luis Suarez opener, did the damage, leaving Liverpool’s hopes of a second Champions League final in as many years in tatters. Although Jurgen Klopp’s side came away from the Camp Nou convincingly beaten on the scoreline, the Reds were in the game for large portions of the game. Mohamad Salah, amongst others, was guilty of missing some key chances at pivotal moments before Messi stepped in.

Although it isn’t past Liverpool to score three times at Anfield, it will be some ask to do so without a reply. One away goal for Barcelona would leave Liverpool needing five, which really would be mission impossible. Roberto Firmino could miss the clash after the striker missed the weekend win over Newcastle. Divock Origi, the match-winner at St James’ Park could be in line to deputise for the Brazilian in attack.

Barcelona rested all of their star men at the weekend, with La Liga already sewn up. Their target is fixed on the Champions League, a trophy they last won in 2015. Messi’s first-leg genius looks to have secured a place in this year’s final but for a catastrophe at Anfield. Their record in England is good, they haven’t lost in each of their six trips, including wins at both Manchester clubs. Unlike Liverpool, who had to field their strongest side as they continue to battle for the Premier League title, Barcelona’s extra rest could pay dividends. It’s very difficult to see them conceding three, given they have only done that once this season.

Cüneyt Çakır is the referee for this game. The Turkish man was in charge of the second-leg clash between Manchester City and Tottenham last month. He has officiated 25 matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated a total of 3.84 cards per game. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total booking points for this fixture.

Liverpool are very much up against it against one of Europe’s elite side. I can see them scoring a few goals, maybe even winning, but I can’t see them keeping Messi quiet all evening.

Liverpool vs Barcelona will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 with kick off at 20:00 BST.

Manchester City vs Leicester City
Monday 6th May 2019
FA Premier League, Etihad Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 20:00 BST

Manchester City vs Leicester: Manchester City will be hoping to make another massive stride to retaining their Premier League title when they host former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola’s side have not let up in their pursuit of the domestic treble. The champions are in pole position the claim a fourth Premier League title in seven years. They sit one point ahead of Liverpool with two fixtures remaining, in the closest title race for many years. City haven’t dropped any points in the league since their 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in January. It has been a perfect run since, which has seen the Blues win their last 12 games. Similarly, the clean sheets have increased as they bid to grind out three points. They have conceded just one goal in their last eight games, recording seven shut outs. Back-to-back away wins away at Manchester United and Burnley have only further tightened their grip on the league title, with a visit to Brighton to follow this match.

Leicester have been in fine form since Brendan Rodgers’ arrival. The Foxes have taken 17 points from eight games. Last week, they defeated Arsenal 3-0 at the King Power, the highlight result of his tenure to date. Jamie Vardy bagged a brace in that win, making it 11 goals in as many games for the Englishman. That run has taken his tally for the season to 18. If he can manage two more, he will have hit 20+ goals in three of his last four season, which is a remarkable feat. Leicester’s brand of high-pace, counter-attacking football suits him down to the ground and could cause problems for the City defence on Monday night.

Mike Dean is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 40 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 51.6. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.

Manchester City could definitely have faced easier opponents than Leicester, who are in good form. Guardiola’s side are winners, though, and I fancy them to grind out another win. I still think Leicester may score, given their pace on the counter-attack.

Sunday 5th May 2019
FA Premier League, Emirates Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 16:30 GMT

Arsenal will host Brighton and Hove Albion in Premier League action this Sunday afternoon.

The hosts are still in the hunt for a top four spot with just two matches left in the campaign. Meanwhile, Brighton originally were preparing for this game knowing they needed points to secure top flights status. However with Cardiff losing yesterday to Palace the Seagull’s can visit the Emirates knowing their Premier League status has been secured for another season.

Arsenal are favourites for this match and are priced at 2/5 to win by SkyBet. The Gunners are in hot pursuit of Champions League qualification alongside their glowing Europa League campaign. In midweek, the North London side beat Valencia 3-1 thanks to a brace from Alexandre Lacazette and a late goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Frenchman has been prolific this season with 13 goals and 8 assists. He is price boosted to 9/2 to score first.

The referee for this match will be Anthony Taylor. The official is one of the most respected in the top-flight and has averaged 31.4 booking points per match. In their reverse fixture, there were 30 booking points brandished. With much on the line for both sides, SkyBet are offering 11/10 for 40+ booking points.

Arsenal vs Brighton and Hove Albion will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 16:30 BST.

Huddersfield Town vs Manchester United
Sunday 5th May 2019
FA Premier League, John Smiths’ Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 14:00 BST

Huddersfield Town vs Manchester United: Manchester United head to Huddersfield in a must-win match, if they’re to keep their faint hopes of a Champions League place alive.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are firmly in catch-up mode as they chase fourth spot in the Premier League. The Red Devils sit a point behind Arsenal and three adrift of Chelsea, who occupy fourth, at the moment. With only two games remaining, it looks like United could have to settle for Europa League football next term. Solskjaer will be hoping six points from their final two games will help to lift the cloud over Old Trafford. It’s a big summer to come at the Theatre of Dreams, with a lot of rebuilding set to take place.

A host of players in a red shirt are set to depart this summer, which means everyone’s future is in doubt. With that in mind, it should inspire those on the fringes to step up their performances to try and secure their long-term future with the club. Last time on the road, United were thumped 4-0 by Everton. In all competitions, they have lost their last five games, which is a stark contrast from their form at the start of the Norwegian’s reign.

Huddersfield will be hoping to end their dismal with some joy in their final two fixtures. With Championship football looming next season, the club will be hoping to head back to the second tier with some momentum. They will be spirited by their win over United last season, which was arguably their most famous result during their time in the Premier League. Their last win at the John Smith’s Stadium came in February and they have only scored twice at home since that victory.

Lee Mason is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 27 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 35.4. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.

Although Manchester United have struggled of late, Huddersfield just don’t have the quality to compete with them. A routine, much-needed win for Solksjaer.

Huddersfield Town vs Manchester United will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League HD with kick off at 14:00 BST.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool
Saturday 4th May 2019
FA Premier League, St James’ Park

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 19:45 BST

Newcastle United will host title contenders Liverpool in Premier League action this Saturday night.

Rafa Benitez side are in good form as they recently confirmed their Premier League status for another season with three matches unbeaten. Meanwhile, Liverpool are still hunting down Manchester City at the top of the table with just two matches remaining.

Newcastle United are huge underdogs despite home advantage and are priced at 15/2 to win by SkyBet. Rafa Benítez’ side have made St James Park a fortress with just two losses from their last ten home matches. In fact, Liverpool haven’t won at Newcastle since 2013, when they comfortably beat them 6-0.

Striker Ayoze Perez has been clinical recently with goals in three consecutive matches. He is price boosted to 9/1 to open the scoring.

Liverpool are priced at 4/11 to win this match. With two matches left, all Liverpool can do is try and win them both and hope Manchester City slip up, who are one point ahead of them. They are in good form domestically, with seven consecutive wins and an average of 2.86 goals in that period. Sadio Mane has been crucial to this success as he took his tally to 20 Premier League goals. The Senegalese attacker is price boosted to 4/1 to score first.

The referee for this match will be Andre Marriner. The official has been one of the more reasonable with the players this season and has averaged 31.2 booking points per match in the top-flight. When these two last met, not one card was shown in Liverpool’s convincing 4-0 victory. SkyBet are offering 4/6 for 30+ booking points.

Newcastle United vs Liverpool will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Newcastle United 0-2 Liverpool 

– The away side should run out victors but will find it difficult at St James Park.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday 4th May 2019
FA Premier League, Vitality Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 12:30 BST

Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur: Tottenham take a trip to the South Coast bidding to secure their place in the Champions League next season.

After back-to-back defeats in the league, Spurs have put their Champions League hopes at risk. Saturday’s disappointing defeat to West Ham was rescued by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United dropping points for a second consecutive week. With two games remaining, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have a four-point lead over Arsenal in fifth. That means a win over Eddie Howe’s side will confirm their place amongst Europe’s elite next campaign.

On the road, things have been tough for Tottenham as they’ve lost their last five in the league. Their last win away from home in the Premier League came back on January 20, a staggering run for a team competing at the top of the table. It’s eight defeats in nine in all competition too. Heung-Min Son’s absence saw them fall to another defeat in midweek as they lost 1-0 to Ajax in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final. With the return leg scheduled for Wednesday night, it will be interesting to see how much of a priority this clash is for Pochettino.

Bournemouth’s campaign has ended with a bit of a stutter following two wins in 11 games. Injuries have hampered Howe’s side in the second half of the campaign. They sit 14th in the table but 11 points from danger. Had they not had such a strong first half of the campaign, it would have been interesting to see if the Cherries would have been dragged into the mire. Callum Wilson has found some good form at the back end of the season after scoring six goals in his last ten games. Two of those came last week as they twice battled from behind to draw 3-3 with Southampton.

Craig Pawson is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 37 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 42.4. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.

Bournemouth have struggled at the Vitality Stadium recently but Tottenham’s away form is also poor. I think Spurs may have one mind on their Champions League semi-final but I’ll still back them to edge this contest.

Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised live on Sky Sports Premier League in the UK with kick off at 12:30 BST.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Tottenham

Suggested Tips – Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur – (BET365):

  • Correct score: Tottenham Win – 2-1 – (link no longer available).

Everton vs Burnley
Friday 3rd May 2019
FA Premier League, Goodison Park

Sky Sports Premier League – 20:00 BST

Everton vs Burnley: Everton will be looking to continue their fine run of form when they host Burnley at Goodison Park.

The Toffees are enjoying their best run of form under Marco Silva. They sit ninth in the table, four points behind seventh-placed Wolves with two games remaining. Goodison Park has certainly been a happy home for them recently. They have beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in their last three, plus a draw with Liverpool prior to that. In that run, they didn’t concede a goal; the last away team to score at Goodison was Manchester City at the start of February, nearly three months ago. One defeat in nine shows that this is their strongest run of the season, which is encouraging ahead of next season. Silva was under growing pressure after a poor start to the season but things finally seem to be coming to fruition under the Portuguese head coach.

Burnley have secured their Premier League status in recent weeks after one defeat in five games. That result came last time out against Manchester City but a draw with Chelsea and wins over Burnley, Bournemouth and Cardiff is a fairer reflection of their run. The Clarets haven’t lost on the road since March 10, almost two months. Throw into the mix they also secured a historic 1-0 win against Everton last season, with Jeff Hendrick grabbing the winner. With a visit from Arsenal set to follow their trip to Merseyside, there was a real danger of Burnley suffering relegation. Sean Dyche deserves massive credit for steering them to safety once again.

Chris Kavanagh is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 33 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 33.6. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.

Everton’s strong form at Goodison has seen them fly up the table. With Burnley already safe, I think that this might end up as a slender home win.

Everton vs Burnley will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event with kick off at 20:00 BST.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Chelsea
Thursday 2nd May
Europa League semi-final, Commerzbank-Arena

BT Sport 3 – 20:00 BST

Frankfurt vs Chelsea: Chelsea make the short trip to Germany as they face this season’s surprise package, Frankfurt, looking to claim victory in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

The Blues head across the border in high spirits after their 1-1 draw with Manchester United at the weekend. Despite going behind, Marcos Alonso’ quick thinking after David de Gea’s mistakes ensured that Maurizio Sarri’s side stayed in the hunt for the top four. Chelsea hold a two-point lead on their rivals Arsenal and three on United, with only two games to play. With the Gunners falling to a third-straight defeat at Leicester City, the initiative is very much in the Blues’ hands. Although they have a great chance of reaching the Champions League through the Premier League, the chance of another piece of silverware is potentially only three games away.

Frankfurt defeated Benfica 2-0 in their last European encounter, to send them through on away goals. Adi Hütter’s side have really shone this season and sit fourth in the Bundesliga, with a three-point lead over fifth. With only three games left, they should seal a Champions League spot for next season too, regardless of their efforts in this competition. One of this season’s hottest marksman, Luka Jovic, is their biggest dangerman. The Serbian forward has 17 goals in 29 league games this season and a whopping eight goals in 12 Europa League matches. If rumours are true, there is a good chance Frankfurt’s star man could line up for Thursday’s visitors, or for a host of other major European powerhouses.

Carlos del Cerro Grande is the referee for this fixture. The German has officiated 8 La Liga matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average total of 6 cards per game. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 60+ total booking points for this fixture.

Frankfurt will be wary of committing too much forward, even though they are at home, as they will feel confident of scoring at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, themselves, are hardly prolific and, as a result, I can see this being a tight, nervy first leg.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Chelsea will be televised live int the UK on BT Sport 3 HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Arsenal vs Valencia
Thursday 2 May 2019
UEFA Europa League, Emirates Stadium

Live on BT Sport 2 HD– Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT

The UEFA Europa League semi-finals are upon us as Arsenal will host Spanish side Valencia in the first-leg of their final four tie.

The hosts defeated tough Italian opposition in Napoli last round but will be hoping their poor domestic form doesn’t affect this Thursday night. Meanwhile, Valencia knocked out rivals Villareal in the last round to make the semi-final stages. They have been seriously impressive in this competition.

Arsenal are favourites to win this match and are priced at 19/20 to win by SkyBet. The gunners have had a number of disappointing results in their bid for a top four spot in the Premier League. However, their home record makes for impressive reading with eight wins from ten matches. Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in great form this season and has four goals in this competition. The Gabon international is priced at 13/10 to sore anytime.

Valencia are underdogs despite how well they have played in the Europa League. SkyBet have priced them at 14/5 to win. Just like their opponents, Valencia have struggled in La Liga in recent weeks but have an impressive record in this competition since dropping out of the UEFA Champions League. Daniel Parejo has two goals from his last four matches and is priced at 7/1 to open the scoring this Thursday. Valencia will fancy their chances against a struggling Arsenal defence. They are 13/2 to win and for both teams to score.

The referee for this match will be Clement Turpin. The French official is renowned for being a no-nonsense referee and often struggles to let the game flow. In both their last outings their matches had 50+ booking points. SkyBet are offering 11/10 for the same again.

Arsenal vs Valencia will be televised live int the UK on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Valencia 

– The home side will want to make sure they don’t concede an away goal. Will be a tight match.

Barcelona vs Liverpool
Wednesday 1st May 2019
UEFA Champions League, Camp Nou

Live on BT Sport 2 HD – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT

Barcelona vs Liverpool: Liverpool will be hoping to keep their hopes of a double alive when they head to face Barcelona in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Jurgen Klopp’s side can still claim the Premier League and Champions League trophies in what will a pivotal month for the Reds’ season. After comfortably dispatching of Porto in the last round, this game is a real test for Liverpool, against one of Europe’s very finest sides. The contrasting nature of the two styles will be interesting; Barcelona love to keep possession and build attacks, whilst the Reds possesses frightening pace on the counter-attack. As a result, playing the away leg first should be a bonus for Liverpool, as they have the chance of banking a few away goals to take back to Anfield. It was that same speed and guile that saw them brush past Bayern Munich in the last 16 and I think they will operate in a similar fashion once more.

Barcelona will be buoyant after claiming the league title on Saturday after a 1-0 win over Levante. Unsurprisingly, it was Lionel Messi’s goal that clinched the La Liga trophy for the Catalan giants. With two pieces of silverware in the bag, their attentions are now firmly fixed on the Champions League trophy. After knocking out Manchester United in the last round, Ernesto Valverde will be wary of the threat Liverpool pose. However, they have the advantage of the Nou Camp in the first leg and when you have a little Argentinian world beater, you always stand a chance. With Luis Suarez and Phillipe Coutinho, against their former club, in tandem, it should make for a very attacking game of football.

Bjorn Kuipers is the referee for this fixture. The German has officiated 7 Eredivisie matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 2.57 cards per game. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total booking points for this fixture.

With the way both sides set up, this should be quite the spectacle. Liverpool need to make the most of this chance to bank an away goal or two, as they did in Munich. Otherwise, with Messi around, the game can swing in the flash of a left boot.

Barcelona vs Liverpool will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 with kick-off at 20:00 BST.
