Premier League Matchday 36 Predictions
Arsenal vs. Bournemouth
- Date: Saturday, May 4
- Time: 7:30 a.m. ET
- Venue: Emirates Stadium
- Location: London, England
Best Bet: Arsenal Win and Over 3.5 Goals (+105)
The Saturday action gets underway with title-challenging Arsenal hosting very much mid-table Bournemouth. There’s a belief that the lunch time games in England are slow and uneventful but the data doesn’t back that up. There should be quite a few goals here.
The Gunners won 4-0 at Bournemouth back in September, and 3-2 in this fixture last season. That was one of the most dramatic matches of 2022/23, with Arsenal fighting back from 2-0 down to score a winner in the 97th minute.
This should be rather more routine. However, Mikel Arteta’s side has had 13 wins in which there were also Over 3.5 Goals this term, the most in the Premier League. This match should add another to the tally.
Burnley vs. Newcastle
- Date: Saturday, May 4
- Time: 10:00 a.m. ET
- Venue: Turf Moor
- Location: Burnley, England
Best Bet: Asian Handicap: Burnley +0.25 (+107)
This selection will test the idea that teams with nothing much to play for drop off at the end of a season. For Burnley, a win here could lift them out of the relegation zone with only two games remaining, whereas Newcastle looks destined to finish sixth or seventh no matter what happens.
While wins have been hard to come by, the Clarets’ home performances have been statistically decent in 2024 (notwithstanding a 5-0 thumping by Arsenal). The expected goal data implies a home win is on the cards.
But while that’s true and Burnley’s need for points is far greater, can you trust a team with just five league victories all season? No, so take the handicap option.
Manchester City vs. Wolverhampton
- Date: Saturday, May 4
- Time: 12:30 p.m. ET
- Venue: Etihad Stadium
- Location: Manchester, England
Best Bet: Manchester City win and Both Teams to Score (+162)
Tipping Manchester City to beat a side destined for a mid-table finish is not a brave choice. Backing Wolverhampton to score a goal might be tough.
But there are valid reasons to think the visitors will find the net. Wolves beat City in the reverse fixture for one thing, and if we ignore meetings in which it received a first half red card, it has scored in three of the last four clashes.
Bournemouth, Brighton and Fulham surround Wolves in the Premier League table and they all scored in defeats at the Etihad this season. If they can, why can’t Gary O’Neil’s men?
Chelsea vs. West Ham United
- Date: Sunday, May 5
- Time: 9:00 a.m. ET
- Venue: Stamford Bridge
- Location: London, England
Best Bet: Over 3.5 Goals (+112)
2023/24 is the highest scoring Premier League season since English football rebranded its top division in 1992. Last year, only Tottenham (3.50) averaged more than 3.45 total goals per game.
At the start of this match week there are seven such teams, two of whom are Chelsea and West Ham United. More importantly for bettors, these clubs are also in the top five for successful wagers on Over 3.5 Goals.
That’s in part as the Hammers won the last meeting 3-1. This was written prior to Chelsea’s game against Spurs on Thursday, but at that point the last seven matches at Stamford Bridge had all seen at least four goals too.
Liverpool vs. Tottenham
- Date: Sunday, May 5
- Time: 11:30 a.m. ET
- Venue: Anfield
- Location: Liverpool, England
Best Bet: Liverpool Win and Both Teams to Score (+125)
While Liverpool can theoretically win the title and Tottenham have a chance of finishing fourth, neither thing is going to happen.
But that doesn’t mean this is a dead rubber. The Reds need to send Jurgen Klopp off in some sort of style. They will also want to avenge the VAR-and-two-red-cards-last-minute-own-goal debacle they suffered in the reverse fixture.
The previous six clashes at Anfield have seen both teams score, as have the last seven at any venue. With 14 of Liverpool’s 22 wins having seen it concede, expect that outcome here.
