Everton vs Arsenal

FA Premier League, Goodison Park
Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 14:05 GMT
Everton vs Arsenal: Arsenal will be hoping to grasp their hold on a top-four spot by extending their lead over the chasing pack when they take on Everton at Goodison Park.
The Gunners can move up third with three points on Merseyside, opening a three-point lead on fifth-placed Chelsea. They moved back into the top four on Monday night, after a confident 2-0 win over Newcastle. The departing Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette were on the scoresheet to record a record 10th straight home win at the Emirates. On the road, Unai Emery’s team are unbeaten in the league since the beginning of February, which underlines their recent improvement. It’s a total of six games unbeaten for Arsenal, in which they have won five times. Lacazette has scored five goals in his last ten games, and the Frenchman’s overall game has been in sensational form of late.
Everton’s have endured an upturn in form lately, beating West Ham 2-0 away last time out. That followed up an important win over Chelsea prior to the international break. Those victories have eased the pressure on Marco Silva, with the Toffees sat 10th in the table. With Wolves and Watford both in action at Wembley, this offers a good opportunity for Everton to gain a march on their rivals, in a bid to finish seventh and be dubbed ‘the best of the rest’. Back-to-back clean sheet have also come as a boost to Silva’ side. They’ve now recorded four shut outs in their last five games.
Kevin Friend is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 34 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 38.4. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Arsenal’s strong recent form will be put up to the test on Sunday. In years gone by, Everton have profited from this fixture and will be buoyant after back-to-back victories. I’m going to back the Gunners for a slender win, but this could end in a draw.
Everton vs Arsenal will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League with kick off at 14:05 BST.

The FA Cup, Semi-Final, Wembley Stadium
Live on BBC One – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT
Manchester City vs Brighton: Manchester City will be hoping to keep alive their hopes of the quadruple when they take on Brighton in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Wembley.
City claimed their first trophy of the season here in February, defeating Chelsea on penalties in the Carabao Cup final on that occasion. They’ll once again be back at the national stadium, looking to make another mark on their hopes of winning all four major trophies on offer to them. In the league, things have been near perfect of late. Wednesday’s routine 2-0 win over Cardiff City ensured an eighth straight Premier League win as they maintain their one-point buffer over Liverpool. Pep Guardiola handed Phil Foden his first league start against the Bluebirds and the youngster caught the eye in midfield. Although he is expected to drop out for this game, it wouldn’t be a huge shock to see him off the bench. The Englishman has featured for City in every round of the cup to date.
Brighton are in woeful form, which has seen them drop to within just five points off the relegation zone. Chris Hughton’s side sit 15th in the table on 33 points with seven league fixtures remaining. Goals have been the main problem for the Seagulls. They haven’t scored in either of their last two games, with only Huddersfield, Fulham and Newcastle scoring less than them in the league. The FA Cup has been a welcome distraction, although they have only beaten one fellow top-flight opponent on their route to the last four. As a result, a step up to the reigning Premier League champions is as tough as it comes, which could see them struggle.
Anthony Taylor is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 43 top-flight matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 32.2. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
Although the FA Cup often throws up all manner of shocks, for me, there is only one winner here. Brighton may be able to frustrate City for large portion of the game, but they will eventually break through and go onto the yet another final.

The Championship, Carrow RoadLive on Sky Sports Football/Sky Sports Main Event– Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT
Norwich vs Queens Park Rangers: League-leaders Norwich City will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Championship table when they take on managerless QPR at Carrow Road.
The Canaries look to have one foot in the top flight already, after a run of seven consecutive wins. Daniel Farke’s side have opened up a seven-point lead on third-placed Sheffield United, with seven matches remaining. Throw in the fact Norwich also have the easiest run-in of the three main promotion contenders and it’s easy to see why they’re favourites to reach the Premier League. Norwich haven’t lost at home this year in the league this year, dropping just two points in total. That has been the backbone of their title push which has put them to within a few wins of a Premier League return. Teemu Pukki has failed to score in his last six games for club and country, his biggest drought of the season. I fancy he might put that right against a poor Rangers side, who leak goals for fun.
QPR sacked Steve McClaren on Monday, with former Watford midfielder John Eustace taking over for this match. They have won just once of their 15 games, which has seen them plummet down the league table. They head to the league leaders 17th in the table, eight points above the bottom of the table. QPR’s last away win came back in December 2018, which underlines how poor their form has been. They’ve conceded six goals in their last three games and only four sides have conceded more goals in the league this campaign than R’s, ahead of a trip to the division’s top scorers.
Scott Duncan is the referee for this fixture. The Englishman has officiated 37 second-tier matches this season. In that time, he has accumulated an average booking points total of 34.1. Therefore, I would advise a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.
This one seems quite straight forward. Norwich are the best side in the league and score the most goals, whilst QPR are in horrific form and leak goals for fun.
