Shay Given's Premier League Predictions
Here's CopyBet brand ambassador Shay Given with four predictions for some of the weekend's biggest Premier League matches, selections which when combined would return at 32/1 ACCA!
Third versus fourth in the table and just one point separates these two sides. Nottingham Forest have had a fantastic season and now their supporters will be hoping they can finish it off by clinching a Champions League spot for next year.
By Manchester City's standards its been a disappointing campaign for them but they'll certainly want to make sure they don't miss out on Champions League football next season either.
With Erling Haaland back and scoring, I think City will just edge this one.
Wolves go into this one in 17th place and realistically find themselves as the only side in danger of being caught by the teams in the relegation zone.
Everton are only one place above Wolves but have a 10 point cushion on them after a great run of results under David Moyes. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last seven league games, winning four of them, and I can see them getting a result at Molineux too. Especially with Wolves missing Matheus Cunha through suspension.
Arsenal got an incredible result in midweek when they won 7-1 away to PSV in the Champions League. So they'll come into this one absolutely flying.
The issue for them in the league recently has been problems scoring goals, with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz out injured. But Martin Odegaard scored twice in Holland and he's more than capable of inspiring the Gunners to a win at Old Trafford.
Manchester United are still struggling in the league and I think they'll find Arsenal too strong on Sunday.
Monday night football comes from the London Stadium and this looks a really difficult one to call.
After a bit of a sticky spell, West Ham are going along nicely with two wins on the bounce, including a great 1-0 victory at Arsenal the other week.
Newcastle have only won one of their last four and it looks like they might have half an eye on next weekend's Carabao Cup final. But if they are going to qualify for next season's Champions League then they need to keep picking up wins and I think they'll have to settle for a draw in this one.
