West Ham United vs Arsenal, 3pm
Prediction: West Ham Win @2/1
The Gunners booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League on Thursday night despite losing 1-0 to Olympiacos at the Emirates as Mikel Arteta’s men progressed 3-2 on aggregate following a 3-1 first leg win in Greece.
Arsenal are among the favourites to go all the way in the Europa League and have a very winnable path to the final but they can’t put all their eggs in one basket so will still want to try and qualify for Europe via the Premier League.
A 2-1 victory over Tottenham last weekend has certainly boosted their hopes but Arsenal still sit 10th in the table – five points off the top six – so they need a win tomorrow to close the gap on those above them.
However, West Ham head into the game sitting fifth – seven points clear of Arsenal – following a superb campaign so they’ll want a positive result themselves to strengthen their grip on the European qualification places.
Aston Villa vs Tottenham, 7.30pm
Prediction: Spurs Win BTTS @10/3
The pressure is mounting on Jose Mourinho ahead of Sunday’s Premier League trip to Aston Villa following Tottenham Hotspur’s shock elimination from the Europa League.
Spurs suffered one of their worst results in their history by going down 3-2 on aggregate to Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday and need to quickly respond at Villa Park.
Mourinho’s men are eighth in the Premier League, four points better off than ninth-placed Villa having played a game more than their next opponents.
