The Premier League schedule is down to the final two weekends of the season, and there is still much to be decided.
While there are a few games this weekend without much on the line, most teams should be motivated to give their best effort.
With a slightly unorthodox schedule this weekend because of the FA Cup Final, here are my favorite Premier League predictions for Matchweek 37.
Premier League Predictions: Matchweek 37
All soccer odds used for these EPL Matchweek 37 predictions are current as of Wednesday, May 13, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Manchester United ML (-160) vs Nottingham Forest
Manchester United might be a little guilty of starting the offseason early after a listless performance in a scoreless draw with Sunderland last week.
But Saturday is the final home game at Old Trafford, which should motivate the Red Devils, even though they have already secured a Champions League spot for next season.
- Get ready for the summer with our World Cup winner odds.
United has won seven of its last eight home matches, turning Old Trafford into a fortress late in the campaign.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest is fully safe from relegation, so the Tricky Trees won’t have the same desperation they’ve had for the last month, causing them to lose to a far more talented United side.
Brighton ML (+115) vs Leeds
With a spot in Europe still possible but by no means guaranteed, Brighton will be eager to earn three points on the road.
While the Seagulls don’t have the best road record in the Premier League, only Arsenal and Manchester City have conceded fewer goals, giving Brighton a chance to win every game it plays.

As for Leeds, they can finally breathe easy knowing that they are safe from relegation.
But the pressure being off will likely mean a drop in intensity, and with Leeds already missing a few key players due to injury, the door is open for Brighton to build off recent wins over Chelsea and Wolves and earn another three points.
Newcastle vs West Ham United: Draw (+280)
It might be now or never for the Hammers, who are coming off a brutal VAR decision against Arsenal but have no time to dwell, with a critical road game against Newcastle this weekend.
A win would do wonders for West Ham, although the Hammers no longer have momentum in their favor, scoring just two goals in their last four matches.
Granted, Newcastle has lost four of its last six Premier League matches since being bounced from the Champions League.
With no reason to be confident in either team, my favorite soccer bet of the day is an unsatisfying draw between Newcastle and West Ham, as it has the most lucrative odds for this matchup.
