Here’s everything you need to know about this weekend’s biggest matches, including kick-off times, recent form, and predictions.

Premier League Matchday 36 Games

Fulham vs Everton

Kick-off: 17:00 EAT | Venue: Craven Cottage

Everton are looking to bounce back after two defeats in a row. Fulham, mid-table and relatively safe, will want to bounce back after a mixed run of results.

Last Meeting: Everton beat Fulham 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Goodison Park.

Prediction: Everton 1-1 Fulham. A tight encounter expected, with both sides having little to play for.

Southampton vs Manchester City

Kick-off: 17:00 EAT | Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium

Southampton are already relegated and will be playing for pride. City, meanwhile, are locked in a second place spot with Arsenal. With Omar Marmoush expected to score the goals, Pep Guardiola’s side is expected to dominate.

Last Meeting: Manchester City crushed Southampton 5-0 earlier this season.

Prediction: Southampton 0-4 Manchester City. Comfortable win expected for the champions.

Wolves’ vs Brighton

Kick-off: 17:00 EAT | Venue: Molineux Stadium

Wolves have been hard to break down at home, but Brighton are still fighting for a top-ten finish. Vitor Pereira’s men are known for their attacking flair, and they’ll be looking to bounce back from recent draws.

Last Meeting: Brighton won 2-1 at the Amex.

Prediction: Wolves 1-2 Brighton. The Seagulls should edge it with more at stake.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa

Kick-off: 19:30 EAT | Venue: Vitality Stadium

This evening kick-off sees Bournemouth trying to secure a top-half finish while Aston Villa look to lock in a Europa League spot. Unai Emery’s men have been consistent, with Ollie Watkins in top form and pushing for a good end to the season.

Last Meeting: Villa won 3-1 at Villa Park earlier in the campaign.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Aston Villa. Villa’s firepower should prove too much.

What Else to Watch: Premier League Matchday 36

Other key fixtures this weekend include:

Liverpool vs Arsenal: The Gunners giving the champions a guard of honor.

Manchester United vs West Ham: With United sitting at position 15, West Ham will try to continue Man U’s woes in the premier league.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace: Spurs looking to regain consistency after a win in the Europa League.

Ipswich Town vs Brentford: Can Brentford continue their winning streak after last weekend’s win against Manchester United.

Sunday Spotlight: Newcastle vs Chelsea

Sunday’s headline game sees Newcastle host Chelsea in a massive Champions League qualification battle. Both clubs are tied on points and goal difference, with Newcastle ahead only due to more goals scored. The match has been moved to Sunday at 2:00 PM EAT to accommodate Chelsea’s midweek fixture congestion.

Chelsea’s win over Liverpool last week showed signs of late-season momentum, while Newcastle have turned St. James’ Park into a fortress.

Prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea. A high-scoring draw could be on the cards.
