With Liverpool and Newcastle battling out the Carabao Cup final this weekend, attention turns to the chasing pack in the Premier League. Manchester City have been huffing and puffing for the past few months, and they take on Brighton next, with both sides looking to force their way into the European picture next term. Down at the bottom of the pile, Wolves and Southampton lock in a classic relegation six-pointer on the south coast, whilst Nottingham Forest will be looking to keep hold of third place, as they travel to Ipswich Town.
Manchester City vs Brighton – Draw
17/5 at Rhino Bet
It has been a curious campaign for Manchester City, who continue to battle away in defence of their Premier League title, but change feels incoming in East Manchester. They take on Brighton this weekend, a side that beat City back in November and who have plenty of cause for optimism, as they look to kick on with their Champions League bid. City are always a dangerous outfit at home, with goals across their squad but Brighton are in good nick too and it feels as if this one will be very open at the Etihad. We are going against the grain and backing the draw, a result that would see a strong return for punters with most EPL betting sites.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest – Nottingham Forest to win
11/10 at Betzone
Following their dramatic win over Manchester City last weekend, Nottingham Forest now have their top 4 hopes very much in their own hands and they travel to Ipswich next. For the hosts, every game is key in their Premier League survival tilt, and they do look to be slipping towards a return to the Championship, unless they can turn things around. For Forest, each game is key if they are to be playing Champions League football next season, and they will be aware of the importance of this one. There won’t be much in it, but Forest should pick up a big win on the road here.
Southampton vs Wolves – Wolves to win
23/20 at Rhino Bet
Southampton are in danger of breaking the record for the lowest every Premier League points total in a season and things don’t look to be getting much easier here, as they host Wolves. The Saints produced a very good performance at Liverpool last weekend but ended up coming up short and they look consigned to a return to the Championship too. Wolves have improved since Vitor Pereira took the helm back at the start of the year and they will see this as a chance to open up an even gap between themselves and the bottom three. This should be a fiery one, with Wolves ready to pick up three important points.
