The reverse fixture ended 0-0 but the final day should encourage a more entertaining affair and we’re inclined to back the in-form hosts.Our Prediction: 3-2 to ChelseaChelsea’s results have picked up in the final third of the seasonCredit: GettyDream Team’s Nick Elliott previews this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament gameLiverpool v WolvesThis is a surprisingly common last-day fixture for whatever reason but the narrative focus will entirely revolve around Jurgen Klopp’s final game in charge of the Reds.One expects the hosts will be motivated to give their long-serving gaffer a proper send-off and the Anfield faithful couldn’t have asked for more favourable opposition given the visitors’ form.Only Sheffield United and Luton have earned fewer points than Gary O’Neil’s side in their last ten outings.Liverpool may have fallen away in the title race but even at this late stage they boast the best home record in the top flight.Klopp’s troops won 3-1 at Molineux back in September and we reckon a repeat is on the cards.Our Prediction: 3-1 to LiverpoolKlopp will want a fitting farewellCredit: GettyManchester City v West HamArsenal fans will be hoping the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus can conjure up some magic but all the evidence points to a title-sealing home win.Pep Guardiola’s trophy-hoarding machine hasn’t lost since early December (the second leg against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final was technically a draw) and most neutrals expect them to once again get over the line.The recent history of this fixture is extremely one-sided with the Hammers’ last win over Man City in the league coming in 2015.Since then, City have won 13 and drawn the other three meetings.West Ham beat Luton last time out but recent losses to Chelsea (5-0) and Crystal Palace (5-2) suggest their defence is in no shape to resist Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and company.READ MORE SUN STORIESOur Prediction: 4-1 to Man CityMan City will claim their fourth consecutive league title with a win over West HamCredit: GettySubmit your own predictions before the action gets underway at 4pm on Sunday and you could finish the weekend £500 better off!talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

THE sensible play for Dream Team managers is to back Manchester City to the hilt for the remainder of the season.Pep Guardiola’s side have a home game against West Ham in Gameweek 36 and a win would secure them a fourth consecutive Premier League title.Erling Haaland (£7.2m) and friends are unbeaten since early December (having technically drawn with Real Madrid in both legs of the Champions League quarter-finals) and to top it all off, they are favourites to triumph in the only fixture of Gameweek 37 – the FA Cup final.CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM’S EUROS FANTASY GAME – £50,000 PRIZE POT, FREE TO ENTER, GREAT FUN!The logical routeCredit: GettyHowever, the vast majority of Dream Team bosses will follow the same line of thinking.Some gaffers will need to think outside the box if they are to improve their rank, and possibly even pinch a Mini League victory, in what little remains of the campaign.The likes of Kevin De Bruyne (£6.1m) and Josko Gvardiol (£4.2m) are clearly excellent options but if a rival above you in your Mini League also brings them in this week then their returns won’t make a difference.This is the privilege of being a Mini League leader; you inevitably force your chasers to think outside the box and take risks.With that in mind, let’s analyse a few potential differentials ahead of Gameweek 36.Morgan Gibbs-White (£3.4m)Most read in Dream TeamAn underrated gemCredit: Dream TeamNottingham Forest travel to Turf Moor to face an already relegated Burnley on the final day of the Premier League campaign.With Nuno Espirito Santo’s side essentially safe from relegation (if not quite mathematically) the pressure will be off and the nature of the contest might create an environment in which Forest’s No10 thrives.The 24-year-old has registered six goals and 12 assists this season and certainly has the ability to unpick a demoralised defence.No team has earned fewer points at home than Vincent Kompany’s side in 2023/24.Gibbs-White averages 6.7 points-per-game across his last three fixtures and currently features in 1.2% of teams.See also: Callum Hudson-Odoi (£3m).Michael Olise (£4.3m)A class actCredit: RexDream Team’s Nick Elliott previews this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament gameCrystal Palace face a relatively tricky final opponent in the form of Aston Villa but with the Villains having already qualified for the Champions League, they might not be entirely motivated at Selhurst Park on Sunday.It’s also worth noting Unai Emery’s men are without a win in their last five games in all competitions.In contrast, the Eagles are finishing the season in fine style having taken 16 points from a possible 18 in their last six outings.Eberechi Eze (£4.3m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£3.2m) have been key to the upturn while Adam Wharton (£2.2m) continues to gain admirers but Olise reigns supreme from a Dream Team perspective.The gifted midfielder has banked 52 points across the last four Gameweeks.More broadly, he averages 8.9 points-per-game this season – only Haaland boasts a superior average among all assets.Despite these incredible stats, Olise features in just 0.7% of teams right now!Mohammed Kudus (£5.3m)Arsenal’s last hope?Credit: GettyUltra brave gaffers could opt to take Man City on directly by backing a West Ham star to shine at the Etihad.Kudus’ remarkable dribbling ability has earned him 70 bonus points this season – only Bruno Guimaraes (£4.6m) has more to his name at this late stage.Couple this with 12 goals and nine assists and it’s no wonder the Ghana international has racked up 290 points in total – he’s sixth among midfielders overall at the time of writing.Such is his individual brilliance, the ex-Ajax winger was even able to add nine points to his tally against Chelsea in Gameweek 34 despite the Hammers’ 5-0 defeat.READ MORE SUN STORIESGaffers in need of a difference-maker should back a player with a high ceiling and Kudus undoubtedly fits the bill.He appears in 1.9% of teams right now.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

TIME is running out for Dream Team managers.Our regular season fantasy game is drawing to a close and many gaffers will be hoping to improve their overall rank across the final Gameweeks.It’s often the case that goal contributions from the back make a huge difference so let’s analyse which defenders have registered the most goals and assists in all competitions so far this season.CLICK HERE TO PLAY DREAM TEAM’S EUROS FANTASY GAME – £50,000 PRIZE POT, FREE TO ENTER, GREAT FUN!Anfield’s hero puts most playmakers to shame with his passing and crossingCredit: Dream TeamMOST ASSISTS AMONG DEFENDERS IN 2023/24:
Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5m) – 13
Kieran Trippier (£4.3m) – 11
Pedro Porro (£3.3m) – 8
Malo Gusto (£3.1m) – 8
Conor Bradley (£3.4m) – 7
Antonee Robinson (£3.2m) – 7
Vladimir Coufal (£2.3m) – 7
Ben White (£4.6m) – 6
Diogo Dalot (£3.2m) – 6
Sergio Reguilon (£2.5m) – 6
As has often been the case since he burst onto the scene, Liverpool’s homegrown hero leads the way in terms of playmaking among players in his position.Whereas before Alexander-Arnold simply bombed forward from right-back, he’s frequently been deployed in a midfield/hybrid role in the last year – it’ll be interesting to see how Jurgen Klopp’s successor uses the England international next term.Trippier recently missed nine games through injury and yet still he’s Alexander-Arnold’s closest rival in this metric.The Newcastle right-back provides plentiful chances from open play and set-pieces when fully fit. Most read in Dream TeamPorro was a creative force throughout the first half of the campaign but the assists have dried up for him lately – he hasn’t registered one since mid-January.Credit to Gusto, who many initially saw as merely a back-up to Reece James (£3.5m).Dream Team’s Nick Elliott previews this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament gameFulfilling the Ilkay Gundogan roleCredit: EPAMOST GOALS AMONG DEFENDERS IN 2023/24:
Josko Gvardiol (£4.2m) – 5

Harry Maguire (£2.8m) – 4
Marcos Senesi (£2.7m) – 4
Dara O’Shea (£1.7m) – 4
Thiago Silva (£3.1m) – 4
It’s no surprise to see Manchester City’s left-back among the top scorers after his recent spree.The Croatia international, who Pep Guardiola jokingly called “the best winger in the world” after his brace against Fulham, scored his first goal of the season in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.Since then, Gvardiol has scored a further four goals in just six outings – he’s fulfilling a role previously occupied by Ilkay Gundogan with a succession of clutch goals at the back end of the season.The fiercely competitive Romero also has five goals to his name amid what has been an impressive campaign.Tottenham’s form may have dipped as the season has progressed but the World Cup winner has stood up to be counted.Ange Postecoglou recently said that some of Romero’s team-mates need to learn from his mentality.And Schar always seems to chip with a few goals for Newcastle.The Swiss centre-back is a threat at set-pieces and has a decent long shot on him too.White has combined clean sheets with regular attacking returnsCredit: GettyMOST GOAL CONTRIBUTIONS AMONG DEFENDERS IN 2023/24:
Alexander-Arnold – 16
Trippier – 12
Porro – 11
White – 10
Maguire – 9
Senesi – 9
Naturally, there’s a lot of crossover when the metrics are combined but it’s notable that Arsenal’s No4 has achieved double figures.White’s attacking output combined with a whopping 22 clean sheets has resulted in him amassing 264 Dream Team points in total – he’s set to finish top among defenders.A word too for Maguire, an unexpected inclusion in this list.After facing much criticism, the 31-year-old put in a decent shift this season – Manchester United’s best spell coincided with his run in the team.READ MORE SUN STORIESSenesi is also deserving of a hat tip having scored four goals and provided five assists for a Bournemouth side that have punched well above their weight.Looking forward, gaffers should start thinking about which defenders will be among the goal involvements once Dream Team’s Euros fantasy game gets underway.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

CRYSTAL PALACE are finishing the 2023/24 season in formidable form.The Eagles’ 3-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday was their fifth win in their last six games.Only Manchester City have earned more points in the same time frame with Oliver Glasner’s side above even Arsenal in the form table.PLAY DREAM TEAM’S EUROS FANTASY GAME AHEAD OF THIS SUMMER’S TOURNAMENT – £50,000 PRIZE POT!Style and substanceCredit: Dream TeamFrom a Dream Team perspective, it was the usual suspects among the points at Molineux.Michael Olise (£4.3m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£3.2m) scored in quick succession midway through the first half before Eberechi Eze (£4.3m) sealed the win in the second half.The former banked 14 points as he also registered an assist while his partners in crime notched ten points each.All three are among the top performers of the Gameweek at the time of writing.Olise truly is a Dream Team phenomenon.The 22-year-old has amassed 160 points in just 18 appearances this season.Most read in Dream TeamThat works out at an average of 8.9 points-per-game – only Dream Team’s overall top performer Erling Haaland (£7.2m) boasts a better rate among all assets.Talent to burnCredit: RexOlise has scored ten goals, provided five assists and racked up 35 bonus points in no time at all.Dream Team bosses should already be thinking about what he could achieve next season if he’s able to avoid injury setbacks.It’s reasonable to suggest he would have finished among the top five players in the game this term had he not been sidelined for 21 fixtures.The frustration for the Selhurst Park faithful is that Olise and Eze have not started more games in tandem.The England international has been available more often but he also missed a month of the campaign through injury in the winter.Palace’s performances (and results) when the pair play together are on a whole other level, as evidenced by their current surge.And let’s not underestimate Mateta’s transformation.The Frenchman looked like a busted flush when he mustered just two goals in 32 outings last season but recently he’s rediscovered the form he showed for Mainz a few years back.His poacher’s goal against Wolves was his 16th of the campaign in all competitions (13th in the league) and he’s registered six assists as well.Glasner’s side have been very impressive of lateCredit: ReutersDream Team’s Nick Elliott previews this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament gameMateta has been particularly prolific since the start February, scoring 11 goals in 15 games.This fruitful run has yielded 112 points at an average of 7.5 per fixture.Any Dream Team manager worth their salt should already be thinking about how many points Palace’s top assets might be able to provide in 2024/25, especially if they continue to improve under Glasner.Although the club may have a hard time keeping hold of their brightest stars this summer, including rising star Adam Wharton (£2.2m).READ MORE SUN STORIESNot that gaffers should be wishing away the final Gameweeks of the current campaign of course.There’s also the huge matter of Dream Team’s Euros fantasy game – which is available to play right now!talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

DREAM TEAM brings you all the latest injury, suspension and availability news ahead of Gameweek 35 in one easily digestible dose.Takehiro Tomiyasu was absent from Arsenal training on Thursday and must therefore be considered a doubt ahead of Sunday’s match at Old Trafford.Bukayo Saka was pictured with heavy strapping although the Gunners’ winger is accustomed to playing through niggles.Mikel Arteta did name his No7 when listing possible doubts but the England international rarely misses out if even half fit.As for the Red Devils, Bruno Fernandes resumed training this week after a rare absence last time out.The Portuguese midfielder, who features in 17.8% of Dream Teams, is therefore in contention to play.Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay also have a chance having returned to training but Luke Shaw has suffered a setback on his road to recovery – Mason Mount is also out.PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND’S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN £500 IN CASH!Saka was named as a doubt but

weekendCredit: GettyAs for the host, Eddie Howe revealed: “Kieran [Trippier] is getting closer, he has trained this week.”A late decision will be made on the right-back while Nick Pope may be given a start having returned to the bench against Burnley.Luton will be boosted by the return of Chiedozie Ogbene as they seek to avoid relegation back to the Championship.The Hatters travel to West Ham, who will once again be without centre-backs Nayef Aguerd and Konstantinos Mavropanos.In brighter news for the Hammers, David Moyes told reporters: “Lucas Paqueta seems okay and has trained for most of the week.”Pep Guardiola has a fully fit squad to choose from as Manchester City hope to take another step towards the defence of their Premier League title against Fulham on Saturday.Lloyd Kelly, Marcus Tavernier and Tyler Adams are all available for Bournemouth after their recent setbacks but Ryan Fredericks, Luis Sinisterra and Chris Mepham remain sidelined.Milos Kerkez will serve the last of his

MUST BE WON!Submit your predictions and put yourself in contention for the cash prizeCredit: Dream TeamIn the spirit of transparency, these are our predictions for Matchweek 38.Newcastle v BrightonThis would have made for an entertaining even contest at various times in the last year but this match-up very much favours the hosts at present.The Magpies boast the fourth best home record in the Premier League this season and they’re currently third in the form table having won four of their last five games.In contrast, the Seagulls have won just four league games on the road in 2023/24 and, despite an encouraging win over Aston Villa last time out, only four teams have earned fewer points from their last six fixtures.Most read in Dream TeamOur Prediction: 3-1 to NewcastleAnthony Gordon and Alexander Isak are particularly effective at St James’ ParkCredit: ReutersDream Team’s Nick Elliott previews this summer’s Euro 2024 tournament gameTottenham v BurnleySpurs are one of those teams below Brighton in the form table having lost four games on the spin.Granted, Ange Postecoglou’s men have faced a tricky run (Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool) but 13 goals conceded in four outings is a cause for concern.That being said, only Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have won more league games at home than Spurs this term while the Clarets have mustered just 14 points from 18 away days.Son Heung-min and company should have enough firepower to end their miserable run.Our Prediction: 2-1 to TottenhamPostecoglou could do with a winCredit: GettyNottingham Forest v ChelseaThe Blues have given themselves every chance of qualifying for Europe with an impressive upturn in form as the campaign draws to a close.In fact, only Man City and Arsenal have earned more points across their last ten games.Having previously been almost solely reliant on Cole Palmer, the likes of Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson have looked increasingly effective in attack of late.As for the hosts, a win over Sheffield United last weekend all but preserved their Premier League status but they’ll still be wary of a late Luton charge.Forest won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge back in September but we reckon Chelsea will get their revenge on Saturday.Our Prediction: 2-0 to ChelseaChelsea are finishing the season in fine formCredit: GettyManchester United v ArsenalDespite the Gunners broadly outperforming the Red Devils under his watch, Mikel Arteta has come unstuck in his last two visits to Old Trafford.However, it would be a huge upset if Arsenal failed to win on Sunday given the nature of Man United’s recent performances.Erik ten Hag watched his side slump to a 4-0 defeat at Selhurst Park on Monday and the Dutchman has failed to stop his side conceding an almighty tidal wave of shots since the turn of the year.Structurally, these two teams couldn’t be further apart with the visitors frugal in defence while the hosts tend to be involved in strangely open contests.Man United looked particularly hopeless without Bruno Fernandes last time out and if the Portuguese midfielder is out again (keep an eye out for availability updates) then Bukayo Saka and friends could run amok.Our Prediction: 3-0 to ArsenalAnother defeat would heap even more pressure on Ten HagCredit: GettyAston Villa v LiverpoolMonday night football features fourth against third but the recent history of this fixture is immensely one-sided in the Reds’ favour.Liverpool have won six of their last seven meetings with the Villains with last season’s 1-1 draw at Anfield being the only minor blemish.Both sides have run out of steam at the back end of the campaign with Jurgen Klopp’s troops falling out of the title race and Villa losing 6-2 on aggregate to Olympiacos in the Europa Conference League semi-finals.Unai Emery’s side were also extremely lacklustre against Brighton last week – they mustered just two attempts at goal at the Amex.Both teams have won two, drawn two and lost two from their last six league games which makes this a difficult match-up to predict.30% of Score Predictors have opted for a 2-2 draw at the time of writing but we’ll edge it to the visitors because of Villa’s trek back from Greece.Our Prediction: 3-2 to LiverpoolREAD MORE SUN STORIESLiverpool enjoyed themselves against Spurs last weekendCredit:

EVERY transfer counts at this late stage of the season.Ahead of Gameweek 35, the majority of Dream Team managers will be focused on the six teams set to fulfil two fixtures: Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Brighton, Newcastle and Tottenham.With this in mind, allow us to suggest some recommendations…PLAY SCORE PREDICTOR AHEAD OF THIS WEEKEND’S ACTION – SOMEBODY MUST WIN £500 IN CASH!A huge differential optionCredit: Dream TeamNoni Madueke (£3.1m) Chelsea’s No11 is among the tempting differential options for Gameweek 35 with a current ownership of just 0.2%!The 22-year-old didn’t do his reputation any favours when he attempted to take a penalty off Cole Palmer (£5.4m) a few weeks back but there’s no doubt his performances have improved lately.In fact, Madueke is statistically the third-most in-form midfielder in the game right now having added 34 points to his tally across his last three outings.His 17-point return against West Ham last time out was his best haul of the season – he scored one goal and assisted another as the Blues thrashed the Hammers 5-0.More broadly, he’s notched four goals and three assists in his last ten games during a spell in which Mauricio Pochettino’s side have looked increasingly effective.Most read in FootballChelsea arguably have the most-favourable double header in Gameweek 35 in the form of Nottingham Forest and Brighton.Josko Gvardiol (£4.1m)Only Ben White is in better form among Dream Team defendersCredit: AlamyManchester City assets will be hugely popular this week and with good reason.Not only are they among the six teams with two fixtures this coming Gameweek (against Fulham and Spurs) they are guaranteed a game in Gameweek 37 thanks to the FA Cup final.Generally, Pep Guardiola’s defenders have underwhelmed this season but Gvardiol has done his best to rectify that in recent weeks.The Croatia international has plundered 52 points from his last six games and 77 points from his last ten appearances.This fruitful run has featured four clean sheets, three goals and two assists.City assets are always at risk of rotation but Gvardiol’s form should earn him the bulk of the remaining minutes this term.Erling Haaland (£6.9m), Phil Foden (£5.8m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£6.2m) all fall under the category of blindingly obvious transfer suggestions this week.Bruno Guimaraes (£4.4m)Bonus ballCredit: Getty We’ve tipped Alexander Isak (£4.6m) and Anthony Gordon (£4m) often enough in recent weeks so there’s no need to repeat ourselves in that regard.But let’s throw Newcastle’s all-action midfielder into the mix as well.Guimaraes is Dream Team’s bonus point king having racked up 76 of them this season – only seven other players have more than 50 to their name.And he’s been among the goal involvements since the start of February with five goals and four assists across the last 13 Gameweeks.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe Brazilian averages 5.8 points-per-game this campaign and so it’s reasonable to expect a double-digit haul from him in Gameweek 35 with the in-form Magpies set to take on Brighton and Manchester United.Lock in your transfers before Saturday’s 11:30am deadline.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer
