Manchester city vs aston villa (analysis)

Manchester city

They need a win  to get back to the top of the table. Nothing too fanciful, a 1-0 will do. As world cup is coming, they would not want to risk getting injured and miss out on the world cup, such a prestigious event.

However they are playing at home, so do expect them to be attacking non stop. Just to prove that they are worthy of being Epl champions.

Aston villa

Mid table secured. Nothing to play for. Most of the players are already on holiday mood. Therefore do not expect them to give in their best. However the scoreline would still be decent.

My pick: total goals under 3.5

Manchester Utd vs Hull City (Analysis)




Manchester Utd

Europa League qualification
They are now with 60 points, with 2 games on hand with a better goal difference than Tottenham. Tottenham currently has 66 points but only left with a final game. Therefore there is still a glimpse of hope for them to qualify for Europe. Even though it is small, I believe Ryan Giggs would still push on for the win.
 
Embarrassed by Sunderland
They were humiliated by Sunderland in the previous game, failing to score any goal despite the domination of possession. This home would be a good time for them to pick themselves up and show the quality of the squad. Ryan Giggs would also need to prove to others that he is no David Moyes and his managing would be way better than Moyes,
 
Last home game
This would be the last home game for Manchester Utd, therefore expect them to put up a good show for all the supporters out there.
 
Hull City
 
Safe from relegation
They are at 15th place with 37 points, totally safe from relegation. They still have an upcoming FA Cup final against Arsenal, therefore this is a good time for them to practise formation and test which formation is effective against a top attacking team. Expect them to leak in a few goals.
 
 
My pick: Manchester Utd -1.5

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool (Analysis)



Crystal Palace

Full squad available
Crystal Palace would be able to have the full squad at their disposal, with Dikgacoi coming back for training. Crystal Palace has been playing very good football since the change of manager. Do expect them to hold the defence tight.
 
Nothing to fight for
Crystal Palace have absolutely nothing to fight for in this game. Being in 11th place, no Europe qualification, no nothing. Just putting up a good show for the supporters.

Liverpool
 
Do or die
Lose this game and it would be a goodbye to their title race. They are on level terms with Manchester City but losing out on goal difference. They would need to thrash Crystal Palace in order to catch up with the goal difference.
 
 
Attacking options
Brendon Rogers would have Sturridge, Coutinho, Suarez and Sterling available. These 4 players could tear the Crystal Palace defense apart. Expect goals galore.

My pick: Liverpool over 3

Aston Villa vs Hull City (Analysis)



Aston Villa
Get out of relegation
The next 2 upcoming matches for Aston Villa would be extremely tough games, Manchester City and Tottenham. In order for them to stay in top flight, this game is a must win for them, draw would not be sufficient. This would definitely be one of the biggest game for Aston Villa. Bet on them to give their very best, expect a different Aston Villa today. The Aston Villa that you have not seen before.

Hull City
FA Cup finalist
With a FA Cup finals upcoming, there is a need for them to conserve energy and prepare for the the finals. Hull City would be more than happy to see this game out as a goalless draw, so that they could focus on FA cup final.

Safe from relegation
With 37 points and 3 games in hand, Hull City is pretty much safe from relegation. Therefore i expect them to go out and fight for a draw in this game, defensive football and hoof the ball upwards.

My pick: Aston Villa to win
