This fixture could have big ramifications for the race to finish in the Premier League's top four. The good news for the hosts is that Aston Villa have won their last three Premier League meetings with Tottenham.
On top of that, Spurs have only won one of their last six away Premier League games (D3 L2) despite scoring two or more goals in five of those games, all of which have been in their last five trips.
Aston Villa have won four of their last five Premier League matches, including the last three in a row. But they have also conceded nine in their last four home matches. Spurs, meanwhile, have scored in all 26 Premier League matches under Ange Postecoglou. The conservative option would be to back Villa and both to score but we are going to gamble on the home win and both teams finding the net in both halves.
West Ham have won their last two league games, to take the pressure off their manager David Moyes, and hit seven goals in the process. They should be confident of beating Burnley who have only won two of their eight Premier League visits to West Ham (D1 L5).

Burnley have lost each of their last four away league games, conceding exactly three goals in each, so with the hosts firing, it could be one-way traffic at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Seagulls won the reverse fixture 3-2 in November but with Forest failing to score on their last three trips to Brighton, we could be in for fewer goals and under 2.5 goals appeals at 7/52.40.
Roberto De Zerbi's men lost 3-0 at Fulham last weekend but at home they are much stronger; unbeaten in 11 Premier League games (W5 D6) at the Amex. It may not be an emphatic win, however, as Brighton travelled to Roma in the Europa League on Thursday and could be tired from arguably the biggest game in the club's history.
Will this be the last time Jurgen Klopp takes on Pep Guardiola? They could yet meet in the FA Cup but this Premier League title race showdown is the last time they will face off in the English top flight. They have enjoyed some thrilling battles down the years but it is possible that these two in-form teams will cancel each other out on Sunday.

Liverpool have only lost one of their last 20 home league games against Manchester City (W13 D6), a 1-4 defeat in February 2021. However, the Reds have only beaten the Citizens once in their last eight Premier League matches (D4 L3). The win in that run was a 1-0 Liverpool victory in this exact fixture at Anfield last season.
Neither side will want to lose so we will keep the draw onside by backing Liverpool Double Chance and we are going to gamble on it staying under 2.5 goals. Mo Salah has been directly involved in 17 goals in 19 appearances for Liverpool against Manchester City in all competitions, scoring 11 and assisting seven. He has score more goals against teams managed by Pep Guardiola than any other player.
