Leeds, Leicester and Everton in battle to beat the drop

The ultimate day of the 2022/23 Premier League season is lastly upon us. Whereas this yr’s champions have already been confirmed, there’s nonetheless all to play for on the backside of the league as three golf equipment struggle to protect their Premier League standing.

We preview the fixtures in query beneath, all of that are Sunday 16:30 kick-offs.

Everton v Bournemouth

Everton go into this fixture figuring out that victory will assure them Premier League survival for an additional season, whereas a draw might imply relegation is Leicester Metropolis beat West Ham on the King Energy Stadium.

Having initially made Goodison Park a fortress upon Sean Dyche’s arrival, successful three of his first 4 video games (all by 1-0 scorelines), the Toffees have been uncharacteristically beneficiant to visiting groups of their final three dwelling fixtures, selecting up zero factors and delivery 10 objectives within the course of. They start as comfy 2/5 favourites to safe these all-important three factors in opposition to a Bournemouth aspect who confirmed their Premier League standing a couple of weeks in the past.

Gary O’Neil’s aspect have barely let their requirements slip, after a superb run of six wins in 9 video games that each one however confirmed their survival this season, shedding their final three on the bounce. The Cherries have curiously not drawn a sport since early February (a run of 15 video games) and one would suspect their hosts on Sunday might be wanting the safety of a victory to ensure their Premier League standing. As such, a win for Bournemouth is priced at 6/1, with a draw 15/4.

With Dominic Calvert-Lewin unlikely to start out for the Toffees after selecting up one other knock, it could fall to one in all Everton’s industrious midfielders to step as much as the plate on Sunday. We just like the look of Dwight McNeil’s worth of 11/5 to search out the online anytime in a sport which will solely want one purpose to be determined. A usually Dyche-esque scoreline of 1-0 can be out there at 7/1.

Leeds v Tottenham

Leeds discover themselves in a fairly determined place after surrendering a 1-0 lead on the London Stadium final Sunday. A win would have taken them out of the relegation zone going into the ultimate week, however three objectives with no reply from West Ham means Sam Allardyce’s males are the agency 1/33 favourites to go down from the three remaining golf equipment in query.

The west Yorkshire outfit want a win to have any probability of staying up, priced at 17/10 in opposition to a timid Spurs aspect, whereas they may also be reliant on Leicester and Everton dropping factors in comparatively preferable dwelling fixtures. Though they’re unbeaten of their final two dwelling video games, they continue to be winless since Allardyce took the reins. Even when performances have barely improved, they proceed to leak objectives at too frequent a price, delivery at the least two in seven of their final eight fixtures.

Spurs discover themselves within the humbling place of needing an excellent consequence to have a shot at ending eighth and qualifying for the third tier of European soccer subsequent season. After interim supervisor Ryan Mason instilled some new life into the squad in his first couple of video games in cost, their final two fixtures have conveyed that this membership may be very a lot prepared for the season to finish, whether or not they make the Europa Convention League or not.

Spurs begin as 11/8 favourites at Elland Street on Sunday, with a draw out there at 14/5, however anticipate a roaring Leeds dwelling crowd to instantly put this fragile squad on the again foot. Such fragility and desperation may even see an abundance of objectives, so over 3.5 objectives at 13/10 additionally appears fairly priced.

Leicester v West Ham

Leicester discover themselves in the same place to Leeds figuring out that solely a win will give them any probability of survival, with their odds of 1/6 to be relegated on Sunday suggesting that the 2015/16 champions could have already run their race within the Premier League. Issues had been wanting optimistic beneath Brendan Rodgers in February after consecutive high-scoring wins in opposition to Tottenham and Aston Villa however a run of eight defeats in 9 video games has seen the Foxes slowly gravitate in direction of a determined relegation scrap, with new supervisor Dean Smith likewise unable to correctly regular the ship since his arrival.

The Foxes begin Sunday’s conflict on the King Energy Stadium because the odds-on favourites for victory in opposition to a West Ham aspect who will undoubtedly have one eye on their Convention League Remaining on seventh June, coming in at 10/11 in entrance of what is going to be a demanding dwelling crowd. Sadly for Dean Smith’s males, they haven’t stored a clear sheet at dwelling since in opposition to Leeds on October twentieth, so will doubtless must outscore their opponents to carry their aspect of the survival cut price.

West Ham can be forgiven for already waiting for their journey to Prague in a fortnight’s time, however have nonetheless arrested their home type which, at one level, was wanting doubtlessly deadly for the east Londoners. Successive dwelling victories in opposition to Manchester United and Leeds efficiently secured one other season within the high flight for the Hammers, which was frankly the naked minimal coming into the season, and so they begin Sunday’s fixture as 13/5 outsiders for a victory that might relegate their opponents, whereas a draw at 29/10 likewise wouldn’t be any good for the hosts in what quantities to a final roll of the cube for Dean Smith.
