Wow, I don’t know what has happened with the last couple of sets of tips, but I feel like I don’t really know football any more at the moment! It’s certainly been a weird old season when it comes to results. Who’d have had Manchester United down to lose both home games they played this week?
Then there was Manchester City losing to Chelsea last weekend, while Chelsea then went out in midweek and gifted Arsenal a win at Stamford Bridge and Leicester were tonked at home by Newcastle on Friday, and then beat United at Old Trafford. I would have loved to have bundled all those results together in a single acca as I’d be joining Elon Musk and Bill Gates for a beer or two if that was the case.
This weekend, we have a slight change to the usual tips with a trio of games from the Premier League across Saturday and Sunday, as well as the FA Cup Final from Wembley. Chelsea are looking to win their ninth FA Cup Final, but they face a Leicester City side who are looking to end a run of four FA Cup Final defeats in the four finals they have played.
This should be a good one between the teams that currently occupy 3rd and 4th in the Premier League at the moment. It is the first of two matches between the teams as they meet in the Premier League on Tuesday night too.
It’s the penultimate week of what has been a weird old season and in truth, I can’t wait for it to be over and hopefully, we can get back to having fans in the stadium for the new season. Which will be a big plus for teams playing at home.
Here’s my tips for this week.
