The title race between Arsenal and Manchester City will dominate attention, while the relegation battle and the fight for European places remain finely poised.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds United suffered FA Cup semi-final disappointment at Wembley last weekend, beaten by Chelsea, but they return to Elland Road in a strong league position. The Whites sit six points clear of safety and host already relegated Burnley, who have lost their last four and have parted ways with manager Scott Parker. Leeds were 3\u20130 victors at Elland Road in their last outing and are predicted to win again.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Leeds 3\u20130 Burnley<\/p>\n<p>West Ham remain in the scrap, one point clear of Tottenham after Callum Wilson\u2019s stoppage-time winner last weekend. Unbeaten in three, the Hammers travel to Brentford, who are chasing European qualification and have been drawing frequently. A share of the points looks likely.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Brentford 1\u20131 West Ham<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Howe faces pressure at Newcastle with the club only eight points clear of the drop. Brighton top the form table with 13 points from their last five and arrive after a 3\u20130 win over Chelsea. Brighton are tipped to take three points at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Newcastle 1\u20132 Brighton<\/p>\n<p>Wolves have failed to score in their last three and appear low on confidence. Sunderland, recovering from a 5\u20130 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, travel to Molineux and are favoured to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Wolves 0\u20132 Sunderland<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal, fresh from a narrow win over Newcastle, host Fulham. Arsenal\u2019s European exertions in Madrid are noted, but a deep squad and recent returns leave them expected to edge the London rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Arsenal 2\u20130 Fulham<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth and Crystal Palace face a contest between two clubs preparing for managerial changes this summer. Palace may be content with a point after recent European commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Bournemouth 1\u20131 Crystal Palace<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United and Liverpool meet with Champions League places likely at stake, but pride the main motivator. Home advantage could prove decisive for Man Utd.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Man Utd 2\u20131 Liverpool<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham remain in real trouble and visit Aston Villa, who have beaten Spurs twice this season. Villa are slight favourites.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Aston Villa 1\u20130 Tottenham<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea, now under interim leadership after Liam Rosenior\u2019s exit, beat Leeds to reach the FA Cup final under Calum McFarlane. They host Nottingham Forest, who returned from Europa League action this week, in a tight fixture.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Chelsea 2\u20131 Nottingham Forest<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City finish the round at Everton on Monday. City need perfect form down the stretch and are expected to take all three points.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Everton 0\u20131 Man City<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just four rounds remain in the Premier League; Gameweek 35th will affect title, Europe and survival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[192,1625,172],"tags":[1626],"class_list":["post-13554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal","category-gameweek-35","category-epl","tag-gameweek-35-predictions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13554"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13554\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
