"Brighton's Bloomin' Corners"
- Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton
- Date: Saturday, May 10th, 15:00 (UK)
Wolves have been on a six-game winning streak before being defeated at the Etihad last weekend. New manager Vitor Pereira has done a solid job since taking over in December. As the summer transfer window approaches, the focus will shift to strengthening the squad for the upcoming campaign.
Brighton, on the other hand, are still in the hunt for a European spot. Sitting at 10th position, they are level on points with 9th place Brentford. To secure a place in the Europa Conference League, they'll have to improve their form, having won just one of their last seven league games.
Throughout the season, Wolves have won 3.41 corners per game at home and have conceded 5.82. The Old Gold have managed more corners than their opponents in just four of their 17 home league matches. Brighton has taken more corners than their opponents in their last five away games, including a trip to face Manchester City, who have conceded the second fewest corners in the division. Additionally, Brighton have had more corners than Wolves in the last four head-to-heads.
"Fulham vs Everton: Shot-less Showdown"
- Venue: Craven Cottage, Fulham
- Date: Saturday, May 10th, 15:00 (UK)
Fulham are still alive in the race for European qualification despite a rough patch. Their lone win in the past four matches came against Southampton. They now find themselves in the lower half of the Premier League, but they remain just two points off 8th position.
Everton have struggled of late, managing a single win in their last ten games. They've scored just 0.9 goals per game during that period while conceding 1.2. Manager David Moyes is looking forward to the summer to bring in fresh talent to bolster the squad.
Fulham's matches have seen the fourth-fewest shots in the Premier League, with an average of 24.69. In their most recent home game against Chelsea, there were only 19 shots. In contrast, shots have been at a premium in the Toffees' matches, particularly since the coaching change, with an average of 21.19 shots per league game.
"Bournemouth vs Aston Villa: More Cherries Throws"
- Venue: Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth
- Date: Saturday, May 10th, 17:30 (UK)
Bournemouth recorded a victory over Arsenal last weekend, extending their unbeaten streak to five games. This positive run has helped them climb to 8th position in the table, which would secure a European spot for next season.
Aston Villa are also aiming for Europe but have their sights set on the Champions League. They trail Chelsea, who occupy 5th place, by three points.
The Cherries' matches have seen the most throws in the Premier League, with an average of 39.8. Throws have exceeded 32 in seven of their eight home games in 2025, averaging 41.13 throws. In contrast, the Villains' matches see the fewest number of throws in the division. However, this trend often reverses when they play at the Vitality Stadium, with 33 throws or more in all three meetings between these sides at this ground, averaging 41.33 throws per game.
"Enjoying a Throwing Good Time at Newcastle"
- Venue: St. James' Park, Newcastle
- Date: Sunday, May 11th, 12:00 (UK)
This match could determine who secures a spot in the Champions League, as both teams are equal on 63 points, with Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa hot on their heels. The Magpies went on a five-game winning streak at home with their last defeat taking place in January against Tottenham.
Chelsea is also enjoying a three-game winning streak in the league after their victory at Anfield last weekend. New manager Enso Maresca will want his side to maintain their performance levels to secure a place among Europe's elite next season.
Throw numbers for Newcastle's home games are consistently above 31, averaging 34.65, ensuring that they win this bet more times than not.
"Nottingham Forest vs Leicester: The Foxes Falter"
- Venue: City Ground, Nottingham
- Date: Sunday, May 11th, 14:15 (UK)
Nottingham Forest briefly seemed poised to challenge for a Champions League spot earlier in the season, but a recent slump in form has put them six points adrift of fourth place with three games remaining. Nuno Espirito Santo's side currently sits in 6th position.
Leicester, along with the other two newly-promoted teams, were relegated some time ago. Manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy failed to get the best out of his players and is expected to leave at the end of the season.
Forest managed 20 shots en route to a 3-1 win against Leicester in the reverse fixture. With the magnitude of this game and a lackluster performance from the visitors, the hosts should exceed their average of 12.29 shots per game at home.
"Merseyside Rivalry: Liverpool's Liverpool"
- Venue: Anfield, Liverpool
- Date: Sunday, May 11th, 16:30 (UK)
Now that Liverpool has secured the title early, the party atmosphere will continue as they take on Arsenal at Anfield. Manager Arne Slot will be eager for his side to return to winning ways following their defeat at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
Giving Liverpool a guard of honor following their title win is the icing on the cake for Arsenal, who were eliminated from the Champions League by PSG, ensuring yet another trophyless season. The Gunners still need points to secure a top-five finish, so expect them to put up a fight.
Despite the jeopardy being removed from their season, Liverpool is expected to have plenty of attacking intent, averaging 16.82 shots per game at Anfield this season. Over 12.5 shots for Liverpool seems like a solid bet.
- Scott Thornton predicts a high number of Brighton corners in their match against Wolves, citing data from previous games and home advantage for Wolves.
- Fulham vs Everton may result in a match with few shots, based on the low-scoring recent form of both teams and the trend of fewer shots in Fulham's home games.
- Bournemouth's match against Aston Villa may see a high number of throws, given Bournemouth's home throws average and Aston Villa's trend of increased throws at the Vitality Stadium.
- Newcastle, aiming for a Champions League spot, will likely see a high number of throws due to the team's consistent high throw numbers at home.
- Nottingham Forest vs Leicester is expected to see a high number of shots for Nottingham Forest, considering their previous win against Leicester and the visitors' lackluster performance.
- Liverpool's match against Arsenal is predicted to result in a high number of shots for Liverpool, based on their attacking intent and the favorable home ground advantage.
- News about the Premier League suggests that Wolves have been on a winning streak before their recent defeat and are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
- Brighton, hoping to secure a European spot, have struggled in their last seven league games but remain in contention due to their current position.
- Fulham are still in the chase for European qualification, despite a rough patch, and remain hopeful with the summer transfer window approaching.
- Liverpool, champions of the Premier League already, will continue the celebratory atmosphere at Anfield against Arsenal, who still need points to secure a top-five finish.
- The 2025 European leagues will feature Liverpool again, as they have secured the title early and will continue to play in the prestigious competition.
