class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Blues likely to field an understrength backline, Al Hain-Cole expects another high-scoring encounter against Arteta's men at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will be aiming to head into their upcoming FA Cup final on a high when they welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge in Wednesday’s Premier League clash.

The Blues are in confident spirits after following up their Champions League semi-final victory over Real Madrid by beating Manchester City in last weekend’s league match.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Latest Odds

Having lost just two of their last 26 fixtures in all competitions, they are 13/20 (1.65) favourites with bet365 to boost morale even further with a victory against their London rivals.

However, Mikel Arteta’s men have come out on top in both of the last two encounters between this pair and are available at 4/1 (5.00) to make it three wins in a row in this one.

The last meeting between the sides at this ground resulted in a 2-2 draw last season, and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.00) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Team News

Andreas Christensen has been ruled out after limping off in the victory over City, but Mateo Kovacic could return to the bench after a month out.

Kieran Tierney and Alexandre Lacazette could return to the starting line-up after being fit enough to appear from the bench in Sunday’s win over West Brom, although David Luiz, Pablo Mari and Granit Xhaka are all unavailable.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview

With Christensen injured and Thiago Silva unlikely to be risked ahead of the FA Cup final, Thomas Tuchel’s side may struggle to maintain the exceptionally tight defensive record they have established since he took over.

Indeed, the Gunners have proven dangerous opposition on the road of late, finding the net in each of their last nine away games and averaging over two goals per game in the process.

What’s more, recent encounters between this pair have provided plenty of goalmouth action, with 26 goals scored in the last seven meetings – six of which seeing both sides on target.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions

All in all, even money (2.00) looks like good value on over 2.5 goals being scored for Arsenal’s seventh away game in nine and their sixth match in a row against Chelsea.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having discovered his goal-scoring touch in recent Premier League games, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Blues record signing to fire past Arteta's men

Chelsea’s attacking players will be aiming to earn themselves a place in this weekend’s FA Cup final line-up when Arsenal visit Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

Although he has contributed a number of assists in recent high profile matches, Timo Werner has only scored one goal in his last 10 league appearances for the Blues.

The Germany international is therefore a relatively long 9/2 (5.50) shot with bet365 to open the scoring and priced at 6/4 (2.50) to strike anytime.

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel may opt to rest Werner and offer a chance to Olivier Giroud, who is a slim 21/20 (2.05) bet to find the net against his former team with a first goal since February.

Alternatively, Kai Havertz could return to lead the line after missing out completely on last weekend’s 2-1 away win over Manchester City.

The club’s record signing has scored three goals in his last three league appearances and is priced at a reasonably generous 15/8 (2.88) to strike anytime here.

At the other end of the pitch, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will also be determined to offer a reminder of his own capabilities in front of goal after featuring in just one of the last five league matches due to illness and team rotation.

Having scored both goals in the Gunners’ win over Chelsea in last season’s FA Cup final, he could offer strong value at 6/1 (7.00) first goalscorer and 21/10 (3.10) anytime goalscorer odds should he be restored to the team.

Alexandre Lacazette will also be hoping for a recall after starting as a substitute in his first game back from injury against West Brom last weekend, and can be backed at 9/4 (3.25) to rediscover the form that saw him strike six times in eight games prior to that lay-off.

However, Nicolas Pepe has made a strong bid for keeping his own place in the side after scoring three times in his last five starts, and is on offer at 13/5 (3.60) to extend that form with another goal at Stamford Bridge.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>In unconvincing form and with a poor record at Old Trafford, Al Hain-Cole expects the Reds to suffer a damaging defeat against Solskjaer's men

Liverpool will be hoping to breathe life into their ailing Champions League bid when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Thursday in a re-arranged fixture.

This game was supposed to take place almost two weeks ago but protests by Red Devils fans caused a postponement to this week, during which time the Reds were able to arrest a run of two successive draws by beating Southampton to leave them six points adrift of fourth with four matches to go.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Latest Odds

Having failed to win at this ground in eight visits, they are available at 11/8 (2.38) with bet365 to give themselves a major morale boost by coming out on top here for the first time since 2014.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have lost just two of their last 29 league games but are 9/5 (2.80) outsiders to compound their rivals’ misery by inflicting a damaging defeat in what will be United’s third game in five days.

Three of the last four league meetings between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 11/4 (3.75) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Team News

Solskjaer played a heavily-rotated team against Leicester on Tuesday but should return to almost full-strength here, with Harry Maguire and Anthony Martial the only injured players.

James Milner, Naby Keita, Ben Davies, Ozan Kabak and Divock Origi will all face fitness tests, with Caiomhin Kelleher, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Jordan Henderson all definitely ruled out.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

Although United have had a gruelling schedule in the last week, the Reds have won just one and lost nine of the last 15 visits to Old Trafford and so it is surprising to see Jurgen Klopp’s team billed as such strong favourites for this trip.

Liverpool are still missing a number of key players and it is hard to see them justifying that 11/8 (2.38) price by pulling off a desperately-needed victory – considering they have just seven wins to their name in 20 league fixtures.

Indeed, the Red Devils have won five and lost only one of their last seven home games in the league, scoring 21 goals and conceding only six, with that only defeat coming when a much-changed team was forced to take the field on Tuesday.

Manchester United vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions

All in all, those 7/4 (2.75) odds seem far too good to pass up on a confident United team maintaining their dominant home record against the old enemy by proving too strong for a Liverpool team that looks a shadow of its true self at the moment.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With goals thin on the ground in recent meetings between the Red Devils and Klopp's men, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Uruguay star to show his quality

Having scored just four goals between them in the last four Premier League meetings, Manchester United and Liverpool seem unlikely to provide too much entertainment when they meet at Old Trafford on Sunday.

On target twice in the Reds’ FA Cup defeat at this ground back in January during a rare high-scoring clash, Mohamed Salah is bet365’s 10/3 (4.33) to open the scoring with a fourth goal in four games against this opposition.

With five goals to his name in the last nine matches for club and country, the Egypt international is a strong anytime goalscorer option at 10/11 (1.91).

Jota has gone six matches without a goal since scoring twice in a 3-0 win over Arsenal but can be backed at 5/4 (2.25) to return to form at the perfect time here.

Sadio Mane is enduring a thoroughly disappointing season by normal standards despite scoring twice in his last three Premier League matches, although there are odds of 8/5 (2.60) available on him offering a reminder of his quality with a big goal.

However, the most likely goalscorers are to be found at the other end of the pitch, where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men will be in confident spirits after securing Champions League football next season by beating Aston Villa 3-1 at the weekend.

The manager made heavy changes to his team on Tuesday but will surely return to near full-strength for the visit of United’s bitter rivals.

Having struck eight times in his last seven appearances in all competitions, including on Sunday, Edinson Cavani certainly looks well worth backing at 7/4 (2.75) to make the difference in what should be a closely-fought encounter.

Bruno Fernandes put an end to his mini drought of four matches netting three times in his last three games and is another appealing 7/4 (2.75) option, having scored the winner in that FA Cup encounter earlier in the campaign.

Mason Greenwood also found the net in that 3-2 FA Cup victory and is sure to attract plenty of attention at those same 7/4 (2.75) odds considering he has scored six times in his last eight appearances, although he may not feature from the start after leading the line on Tuesday.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Goals have been hard to come by for the La Liga champions in recent weeks and Goal is backing Los Blancos to be involved in a another low-scoring game

The Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes hosts a vital match in the La Liga title race on Thursday evening as Zinedine Zidane takes his Real Madrid side to face Granada.

Los Blancos’ draw with Sevilla on Sunday night means their title hopes are no longer in their own hands, although three wins from their last three matches would give the reigning champions a chance of retaining their crown if rivals Atletico Madrid slip up.

Granada vs Real Madrid Latest Odds

The hosts have enjoyed an excellent season and despite having little to play for, they will be looking for a positive result to try to secure a top-half finish.

Diego Martinez’s men recorded their first ever win at Camp Nou two weeks and remain a difficult opponent despite not have much at stake.

A home win can be backed at 7/1 (8.00) with bet365, while Madrid are offered at 2/5 (1.40) and the draw at 7/2 (4.50).

Granada vs Real Madrid Team News

These are two of the sides in La Liga who have suffered the most injuries this season and both teams will be without key members of the squad for Thursday night’s clash.

Granada are missing Neyder Lozano, Angel Montoro, Luis Milla and Yangel Herrera who are all injured while Carlos Neva, Domingos Duarte and Jesus Vallejo are all doubts and Roberto Soldado is suspended.

Madrid look set to be without their entire first choice back four with Sergio Ramos, Rafael Varane, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy all likely to miss out. 

Granada vs Real Madrid Preview

The side from Andalusia have played more matches than any other side in La Liga this term due to their extended run in the Europa League, which saw them play three qualifying rounds for the tournament.

Injuries, fatigue, and a lack of urgency are likely to contribute to a low-key showing from the hosts, who were in action on Monday night and have had 24 hours fewer to recover than their illustrious opponents.

Madrid, for their part, are also missing key players and looking tired so while Zidane will back his players can get the job done, there should be plenty of interest in opposing a high-scoring encounter. 

Granada vs Real Madrid Tips and Predictions

Under 2.5 goals is offered at a tempting 6/5 (2.20) and has paid out in six of Madrid’s last eight games in all competitions. 

You can watch La Liga live on the go with your iPhone, iPad or Android device through your bet365 account. All you need is a funded account or to have placed a bet in the last 24 hours to qualify.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>bet365's tool allows users to put up to 12 selections from one match into a single wager and Goal has used it ahead of the Reds' trip to Old Trafford

Manchester United will be looking to all but secure a second-placed finish in the Premier League when they welcome bitter rivals Liverpool to Old Trafford on Thursday evening.

Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat at home to Leicester saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer play a much-changed side, a result which meant Manchester City won the title and that the Red Devils would have to wait to confirm their spot as runners up.

However, three points in this one will move them nine clear of Chelsea with three matches left and a vastly superior goal difference compared to Thomas Tuchel’s men.

bet365 make United 9/5 (2.80) outsiders as they prepare to play a fourth game in eight days, with Liverpool 11/8 (2.38), and our tipster has used the company’s Bet Builder tool to create a 33/1 (34.0) shot.

Bet Builder allows users to put multiple selections from the same game into a single bet and this wager consists of: Edinson Cavani to score, Luke Shaw to be booked and Fabinho to be booked.

Cavani has really come into his own in recent weeks after a slow start, scoring eight times in his last eight appearances and should start on Thursday after rotation forced Solskjaer to leave him on the bench against Leicester.

The Uruguayan has played against Liverpool six times in his career but failed to score against them, a record he will surely look to rectify as he aims to strike for the fifth start in a row in all competitions in a United shirt.

Yellow cards are a feature almost any time these two teams meet and this clash should be no different.

Shaw has already been carded on 12 occasions in all competitions this season and looks a strong contender to find his name in the referee’s book once again when he goes up against Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has also been a regular receiver of cautions, with no Reds player picking up more than him in the Premier League this season and the Brazilian has also been shown a yellow in three of his last four games against Man Utd.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The newly-crowned Premier League champions visit St James' Park and Goal is backing their run of low-scoring away victories to continue on Friday

Newcastle United welcome Premier League champions Manchester City to St James’ Park on Friday evening with Pep Guardiola’s men aiming to end the season on a high.

The Citizens won their third title in the last four years on Tuesday evening following Manchester United’s defeat to Leicester City and the Etihad Stadium outfit will surely want to celebrate with a big performance.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Steve Bruce’s men have only recorded five wins at home all season and they are rank outsiders to claim another victory, priced at 12/1 (13.00) by bet365.

City have won each of their last 11 Premier League matches on the road and are offered at 1/4 (1.25) with the draw available at 5/1 (6.00).

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Team News

The hosts have a number of players missing with Callum Wilson, Jamaal Lascelles, Ryan Fraser, Elliott Anderson and Isaac Hayden all injured while Fabian Schar is suspended.

City welcome back John Stones from suspension while Kevin De Bruyne could also return, although it remains to be seen if Guardiola opts to rest his more important members of the starting eleven ahead of the Champions League final on May 29.

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Preview

It would be logical to expect a drop in intensity from both sides considering they each have achieved their respective objectives for the season.

Furthermore, City have the biggest game in their history to look forward to in just two weeks and Guadiola is is unlikely to take any risks which might curtail the involvement of his key players in the side’s first ever Champions League final.

The visitors should still have too much for a Newcastle team that have looked defensively unstable all season, having kept just a single clean sheet at home, but there should be interest in opposing a high-scoring game on Friday evening. 

Newcastle United vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

City to win and under 3.5 goals is priced at 11/10 (2.10) and is a selection which has paid out in six of the team’s last eight away games in the English top-flight.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Chelsea winger proved to be the difference in the semi-finals and Goal is backing him to have more joy at Wembley against Leicester City

Chelsea and Leicester City will do battle for FA Cup glory on Saturday afternoon when they meet at Wembley Stadium.

Although both teams have enjoyed strong Premier League seasons, their respective successes in this competition could not be more juxtaposed with the Blues having lifted it eight times compared to the Foxes’ zero.

Click Here: donegal gaa jerseys

Indeed, this will mark Leicester’s fifth appearance in the FA Cup final and their first since 1969, but bet365 make them 16/5 (4.20) outsiders to win the game in normal time with Chelsea 10/11 (1.91) favourites.

Using bet365’s Bet Builder tool, which allows bettors to put multiple selections from the same game into one bet, our tipster has built an 110/1 (101.0) play for the showpiece on Saturday.

The 110/1 (111.0) consists of Hakim Ziyech to score, Cesar Azpilicueta to be booked and Youri Tielemans to be booked.

Ziyech has struggled to make a consistent run in his debut Chelsea season, starting only 22 games in all competitions, but he has made a name in this competition.

The Moroccan winger scored in both the last two rounds of the FA Cup, including the winner in the semi-finals against Manchester City, and having also struck in the Premier League last weekend, looks a worthy candidate to increase his tally at Wembley.

Defensive discipline has been a feature of Chelsea since Thomas Tuchel took over in January, with no team picking up fewer yellow cards in the Premier League than the 14 given to Blues players.

They have also been shown only two in the FA Cup and one of those was to Azpilicueta, which came in the semi-final, whilst the defender was also cautioned in last season’s final when his side lost 2-1 to Arsenal.

Finally, Leicester midfielder Tielemans has found his name in the referee’s book on nine occasions this season – including once in the quarter-finals of this competition.

The Belgian has also conceded more fouls than any other Foxes player except Wilfred Ndidi, tallying 50 in total in all competitions ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup final.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having looked very assured in big matches under Tuchel, Al Hain-Cole expects the Blues to prove too strong for Rodgers' men in the FA Cup final

Chelsea and Leicester City will go head-to-head for FA Cup glory when they meet at Wembley in Saturday’s final.

The Blues are taking part in their fourth final in five seasons, a run that has produced one win and two defeats – including last time out against Arsenal.

Chelsea vs Leicester Latest Odds

However, they are 10/11 (1.91) favourites with bet365 to bounce back by coming out on top to lift the trophy for a ninth time in their history.

In contrast, Brendan Rodgers’ men are appearing in the final for the first time since 1969 and can be backed at 3/1 (4.00) to secure their first ever FA Cup triumph with a historic victory.

Three of the last five encounters between this duo have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them taking this game into extra-time after a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Chelsea vs Leicester teamTNews

Mateo Kovacic faces a race against time to prove his fitness ahead of the final, although Andreas Christensen is unlikely to feature after going off injured last weekend against Manchester City.

Jonny Evans will face a late fitness test after missing the last two matches due to injury, with James Justin, Wes Morgan, Harvey Barnes and Cengiz Under all ruled out.

Chelsea vs Leicester Preview

With a Champions League final still to come later this month and two matches away from securing a place in the Premier League’s top-four, Thomas Tuchel has done a remarkable job in transforming the fortunes of a team that was struggling for consistency under Frank Lampard.

The former Paris Saint-Germain boss has suffered just three defeats in 26 matches in all competitions, a run built on an impressive return of 18 clean sheets.

Having recorded big wins over the likes of Tottenham, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Manchester City already, he will be confident the team will rise to occasion against a Foxes team that is inexperienced in showpiece finals.

Indeed, Leicester have looked short of their best in recent weeks, taking just four points from Newcastle and 10-man Southampton before only narrowly beating a significantly understrength Manchester United in midweek.

Chelsea vs Leicester Tips and Predictions

Considering their superior form, squad and record in recent big matches, Chelsea look well worth those 10/11 (1.91) odds to come out on top at Wembley.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>While Tuchel's men are not reliant on any main goalscorer, the Foxes will be looking to their in-form Nigerian striker for inspiration at Wembley

Chelsea and Leicester players will be hoping to write their names in the history books when they meet at Wembley for Saturday’s FA Cup final.

Timo Werner has endured an up-and-down first season at Stamford Bridge, helping his side to two major finals but scoring a relatively disappointing 12 goals in all competitions.

However, he can be backed at 5/1 (6.00) with bet365 to make himself a hero by opening the scoring in the final, or 7/4 (2.75) to strike anytime for just the third time since mid-February.

Christian Pulisic scored the opener in last season’s FA Cup final defeat against Arsenal and is priced at 21/10 (3.10) to mark the occasion with a goal once again this time out.

Mason Mount has been one of the standout stars of the team’s revival under Thomas Tuchel, and is available at 9/4 (3.25) to cap a successful breakthrough campaign with a memorable goal.

While Chelsea have shared their goals around this season, the Foxes have been fairly reliant on their prolific front pair of Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Despite a recent run of just one goal from the last 16 matches in all competitions, Vardy is his side’s 13/2 (7.50) favourite to break the deadlock in their first cup final since 1969, on offer at 9/4 (3.25) to score anytime.

However, Iheanacho looks a far better bet at those same 9/4 (3.25) odds considering he has scored 14 times in the last 12 fixtures – failing to fire just twice during that spell.

That price looks particularly appealing given his record in this season’s competition, hitting the net four times in his last three appearances.

The last of James Maddison’s 11 goals for the season came back in mid-February, although he can be backed at generous 9/2 (5.50) odds to make up for lost time by getting on a target against a team he scored past in Leicester’s 2-0 Premier League win at the King Power Stadium.
