The penultimate weekend of the Premier League season is here with battles for European qualification taking centre stage.
With Chelsea and Leicester City competing in the FA Cup final, Liverpool have the chance to move within a point of the top four when they head to already-relegated West Brom.
West Ham United have slipped in that particular race but can keep the pressure on the sides above them against Brighton.
Tottenham and Everton are also still scrapping in that battle, taking on Wolves and Sheffield United at home respectively.
As ever, Betfair Ambassador Dimitar Berbatov previews the action for Metro.co.uk.
Burnley vs Leeds
I would like to see goals in this one. Burnley have saved themselves and they have put in some strong performances recently, they are mature and know how to survive in the Premier League.
Chris Wood has hit form and he is a massive guy that can move and terrorise defences. Against Leeds, I can see this being an entertaining one because both teams are just seeing out the season and playing freely. Prediction 2-2.
Betfair Exchange odds: Burnley 12/5, Draw 14/5, Leeds 5/4
Southampton vs Fulham
Fulham will be very disappointed and this would have been one of the games they were really targeting to get a win. Everything is finished for them now and they are purely playing for pride. Prediction 2-1.
Betfair Exchange odds: Southampton 11/10, Draw 11/4, Fulham 14/5
Brighton v West Ham
Ok, here we go. While things have been taken out of West Ham’s hands things aren’t over for them yet when it comes to a place in the top four, they just have to do their jobs and win their games.
I will be hurt if they don’t make it because they have had a great season, but it will be a tough job to catch the teams above them but I’m backing them to get the win in this one. Prediction 0-2.
Betfair Exchange odds: Brighton 2/1, Draw 11/4, West Ham 6/4
Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
Aston Villa will be boosted with the return of Jack Grealish but I think Crystal Palace will make things difficult for them. Both teams will be looking to next season now, although they have done OK this season. I expect both teams will be looking to really push for something next year. Prediction 1-1.
Betfair Exchange odds: Crystal Palace 11/5, Draw 11/4, Aston Villa 11/8
Spurs v Wolves
Spurs are still fighting for European football and I will support them because Ryan Mason is a young coach and I want to see him do well. Wolves haven’t had the best season and there is a lot on the line for Spurs, I think they will win this one. Prediction: 2-0.
Betfair Exchange odds: Tottenham 4/7, Draw 7/2, Wolves 11/2
West Brom v Liverpool
Liverpool need to finish on a strong note and they have a serious chance of getting into the top four. They need to make a statement to show that they will be back next season and against West Brom who are already relegated they have a good opportunity to do that. Big Sam has a habit of creating problems for big teams but this is a huge chance for Klopp’s side. Prediction 0-3.
Betfair Exchange odds: West Brom 15/1, Draw 13/2, Liverpool 1/4
Everton v Sheffield United
This game looks like it could go one way or the other to me, Everton have been disappointing recently and maybe Sheffield United can surprise them. That being said, Everton have a lot of quality in their squad and they will want to finish the season on a high. Prediction 2-0.
Betfair Exchange odds: Everton 2/5, Draw 4/1, Sheff United 17/2
