Premier League Preview 

The final round of Premier League matches will see Manchester City travel to Brentford. But, the sting has been taken out of the game after City’s spot at the top of the standings has already been assured. City come into this match in excellent form, as they have registered 12 straight wins in the Premier League, and they could just widen their advantage over the chasing pack with a victory on the final day of the season. However, that is likely to come secondary for Pep Guardiola this weekend, as it’s hugely likely that the manager will make wholesale changes ahead of the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United on June 6. That could potentially open up value in siding with the Bees to deliver a sting. [news_button][/news_button]  Brentford has enjoyed a memorable season once again under Thomas Frank, and they have exceeded all expectations to achieve a Premier League-best performance this term. The Bees are currently ninth in the standings, but they could yet conclude the campaign in the Europa Conference League place if they pick up maximum points on Sunday.  Brentford’s form has certainly picked up over the final weeks of the campaign, as they have won four of their last five, and they will be chasing a third straight win in the league this weekend. The Bees picked up a memorable 3-1 win on the road against Tottenham last weekend, with Bryan Mbeumo netting twice. 

Brentford vs Manchester City Head to Head 

Since returning to the top-flight, Brentford has recorded one win in three league matches against City. That success came in the previous meeting between the sides this term, as they landed a 2-1 win in November. However, City won 1-0 on their visit to Brentford last term. 

Brentford vs Manchester City Prediction 

Guardiola is likely to make eleven changes for this fixture on Sunday with the FA Cup final in mind. Therefore, we will be siding with the Bees to record a first ever Premier League double over City. We could see Mbeumo once again finding the net for the Bees. Make sure to bet on Brentford vs Manchester City with 22Bet!

Manchester United are still engaged in a fight for third place with Newcastle heading into the final match of the season. This means that Man United will look to win the final clash of the season against Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday at 15:30 GMT. 

A win for Man United in the final match, depending on the result at the Chelsea and Newcastle match, will confirm the Red Devils position in the top-four.

Fulham have little to play for in this match. They will finish 10th on the table whether they win or lose this match, setting it up as a dead rubber for the London side. 

Key Highlights

Manchester United’s Return to the Champions League

Erik Ten Hag has succeeded in returning Man United to the Champions League by securing the top four. He can secure a top-three finish with a win against Fulham on Sunday.

Things are starting to fall into place at Old Trafford as the Red Devils are on the march again. Erik Ten Hag’s remit for this season was to secure a top-four finish ahead of a big summer of rebuilding.

The plan is to have Ten Hag bring in a few players that will suit his playing style and fill some of the gaps in the team and squad that have hampered Man United this season.

Although they have made progress this season, Man United are still 20 points behind champions Man City and were well beaten in the Europa League this season. They still have an FA Cup final appearance against Man City still to come.

Ten Hag will be keen for his side to wrap up the season with a win, and an optimistic note ahead of the Wembley clash with Man City as they look to add to their Carabao Cup win earlier this season.

Fulham’s Emphatic Season to Seal a Midtable Finish

Marco Silva and his Fulham side have bucked the trend and not only avoided an immediate return to the Championship but also scaled to mid table in the Premier League in a blistering run of from across the season

After previously dropping immediately down to the Championship after gaining promotion, Fulham learned from their mistakes and Marco Silva has guided them to a mid-table finish that will demonstrate significant progress.

The Craven Cottage side are on a good run of form; they are unbeaten in three matches, winning two and drawing one.

Silva will hope his side can extend their form by pulling off a statement-making win at Old Trafford on the final day of the season.
