As Matchday 35 of the 2024/25 Premier League season arrives, the race for Champions League places, the pursuit of European qualification, and the desperate scramble to avoid relegation continue to heat up. With only four matchdays remaining, every point carries massive implications—from Aston Villa clinging to hope of a top-four finish to Southampton still seeking salvation from a historically poor season. This Saturday’s fixtures offer pivotal clashes across the league table and could have a defining impact on how the final standings shape up.

Match Info
- Premier League Matchday 35 of 38
- Saturday 3rd May 2025 – 12:30 EST / 17:30 GMT
- Villa Park, Birmingham, England
Aston Villa
Aston Villa return to Villa Park with redemption on their minds after a bruising few weeks on multiple fronts. Unai Emery’s side were eliminated from both the Champions League and FA Cup and also suffered a deflating league loss at Manchester City. Now sitting 7th, the Villans must win their remaining games to maintain any realistic chance of sneaking into next season’s Champions League. Their home form remains a source of encouragement, with six consecutive victories across all competitions. With a solid 9-7-1 league record at Villa Park, Villa need to summon every ounce of resilience to close the season strong.
Fulham
Fulham’s recent comeback victory against Southampton kept them alive in the battle for a potential European spot. Marco Silva’s men are clinging to 8th position, though the cushion is razor-thin, with Brighton and Bournemouth in close pursuit. A solid away record (7-4-6) provides optimism, particularly after ending a run of three straight away losses. With several players unavailable and Rodrigo Muniz likely sidelined for the rest of the season, Fulham will need to find attacking inspiration elsewhere to take anything from this trip to the Midlands.
America Bet Match Winner Prediction
Aston Villa to win
Villa’s home form and motivation to bounce back from recent disappointments should be enough to see them past a Fulham side that struggles for consistency away from home.
America Bet Score Prediction

Expect a competitive affair, but the home side’s extra quality and desire to make amends gives them the edge.

- Goodison Park, Liverpool, England
Everton
With Premier League safety secured and preparations underway for their new stadium, Everton can afford a rare moment of calm. However, there is still pride at stake—especially with this being the penultimate fixture at Goodison Park. David Moyes has steadied the ship despite limited attacking returns, with Everton boasting more draws than wins. The Toffees have won just once in nine league outings and are aiming to recover from a home defeat to Manchester City. With Armando Broja back in contention and Dominic Calvert-Lewin edging towards fitness, fans will be expecting a strong response.
Ipswich Town
Relegation looks sealed for Ipswich, but Kieran McKenna’s side are determined to finish as the best of the newly promoted clubs. Despite their effort, quality has been lacking—highlighted by a recent slump and repeated red cards. Suspensions to key defenders and continued injury woes further compound their woes. Still, competitive performances against Chelsea and Bournemouth earlier in April suggest they’re capable of causing trouble, even away from home.
America Bet Match Winner Prediction
Everton to win
The Toffees have the edge at home against an Ipswich side short on quality and discipline, especially given the latter’s suspensions.
America Bet Score Prediction
Everton 2 – 0 Ipswich Town
Expect a professional, controlled performance from Everton with little resistance from Ipswich’s depleted ranks.

Leicester City vs Southampton
Match Info
- Premier League Matchday 35 of 38
- Saturday 3rd May 2025 – 15:00 EST / 20:00 GMT
- King Power Stadium, Leicester, England
Leicester City
Leicester’s return to the top flight has been nothing short of disastrous. Sitting 19th with just 18 points, relegation has long since been confirmed. Ruud van Nistelrooy remains uncertain about his future, but the Foxes will want to avoid further humiliation, especially at home. The King Power has been a fortress for many promoted clubs, but not Leicester—losing nine home games in a row and failing to score in any of them is a staggering statistic. With Jamie Vardy set to depart, fans will hope he can sign off with a goal or two.
Southampton
Southampton are clinging to Premier League life by a thread, still stuck on 11 points—tied with Derby County’s infamous 2007/08 season total. They looked close to escaping that fate before conceding late to Fulham. With just one away win all season and three defeats in their last four, the Saints’ situation is dire. However, they’ve shown some grit recently with a few draws, and will see this fixture against another relegated club as a rare chance to grab that elusive win.
America Bet Match Winner Prediction
Draw
Neither side inspires much confidence, and with nothing left to lose, this could be a cagey, low-quality stalemate.

Leicester City 1 – 1 Southampton
Expect both sides to cancel each other out in what might be a scrappy, nervy encounter.

Arsenal vs Bournemouth

- Emirates Stadium, London, England
Arsenal
Arsenal’s quest for European glory hit a setback with their narrow Champions League semi-final loss to PSG, and now Mikel Arteta must manage his squad carefully with the second leg looming. Though well-placed in the league, The Gunners are not yet mathematically secure in the top five and need to guard against complacency. Home form has been slightly patchy of late, with Arsenal drawing their last two at the Emirates. Rotations are expected, but the depth in the squad should be enough to maintain momentum.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth’s agonising draw against Manchester United—conceding deep into injury time—might yet prove pivotal in their bid for a top-half finish. Still, they remain within striking distance of eighth. The Cherries have been difficult to beat, currently unbeaten in four league games, though they’ve also won just once in eleven. Away from home, three consecutive draws shows resilience but also a lack of cutting edge. Evanilson’s availability is a boost, while Luis Sinisterra remains sidelined.
America Bet Match Winner Prediction
Arsenal to win
Despite expected rotations, Arsenal’s squad depth and home support should carry them past a spirited Bournemouth side.
America Bet Score Prediction
Arsenal 2 – 1 Bournemouth
The Gunners may not have it all their own way, but they should edge a close contest.
