Tuesday

Wolves vs. Manchester United (Premier League and Main Event on Sky Sports from 7:30 pm, send out at 7:45 pm)

The run-in is a matter of timing and it's the right time to play Wolves. If you had watched this game four weeks ago, you would have thought it was a tough match for Manchester United, but looking at it now, the Wolves will probably let the players rest. They have a unique opportunity in a lifetime with a FA Cup semifinal against Watford [this Sunday]. Nuno Espirito Santo will make changes and this opens the way for United.

United was poor against Watford this weekend. They were really lucky, but they finally found a way to win. That's what you need to do at this point of the season.

PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2

Watford vs Fulham (kick off at 19:45)

Watford will also be looking forward to his FA Cup semi-final with the Wolves, but he also has an eye on seventh place. This is a good opportunity to win a victory against a Fulham team that will be relegated after a defeat at Vicarage. Road.

There are not many times in your career that you play in a semifinal cup. There are not too many times in your career that you play in a semifinal cup and you do not play against one of the top six. It would not surprise me if they rested all their big players, but I still think Watford will have too much for Fulham.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1

Fulham: Relegated Tuesday?

Wednesday

Manchester City vs Cardiff (Live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event from 19h; Coup de l'sending at 19:45)

Manchester City will be back in the Premier League after this match!

The other day, Cardiff was not very lucky, but a lineman who has not seen an offside is not why he ranks third after 32 games of the season. There is much more than that.

They were unhappy, but it's swings and roundabouts. Who would have thought that Liverpool would have been lucky with a World Cup goalkeeper who dropped the ball this way?

I see nothing but a Manchester City victory here. It's just a question of how much they earn by. Victory will then put pressure on Liverpool, which will face Southampton Friday night in football.

PAUL PREDICTS: 4-0

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace (shot at 7:45 pm)

It's the first game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it's really a big game. If the scores go as expected, Manchester United wins, Chelsea wins and Arsenal win Monday night.

As a party looking to win the Premier League, they are now in a big fight to finish in the top four. They still have to go to Manchester City so you can probably delete another match, so that's a match to win.

I do not see a worse game to play as a first game in your new stadium. Crystal Palace is one of the best counter-attackers of their day. They are a big threat on the counter away from home.

It's another difficult game for the Spurs. They are going to kick the result at Anfield. There seemed to be only one winner as the game progressed and eventually they lost the match. How many times have we said this about Spurs in the last year? I'm just going to go with Tottenham but I would not be surprised if they did not win this game.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1

Attend the Opening Ceremony of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium live on the Sky Sports League and Main Event, as well as Sky Sports Digital Platforms, starting at 7pm.

Chelsea vs Brighton (shot sent at 19:45)

That was a bad result for Brighton at home in Southampton on Saturday. The fact that Cardiff lost was a stroke of luck, but Chris Hughton and his team must be careful.

In Chelsea, I'm not sure of the manager. He is lucky to be in charge. Neil Warnock may say that Cardiff was unlucky, so Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea were lucky.

With the team he chose, he would have done well to keep his job if he had lost to Cardiff. Then there were the substitutions and the fact that Callum Hudson-Odoi was not heard. He was very lucky at the end. Despite all the negativity, they should still have enough to beat Brighton at Stamford Bridge.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0
