EPL 2016/17 - Week 30

WBA v/s Arsenal - Away win
Crystal Palace v/s Watford - Home win
Everton v/s Hull - Draw
Stoke v/s Chelsea - Home win
Sunderland v/s Burnley - Draw
West Ham v/s Leicester - Home win
Bournemouth v/s Swansea - Draw
Middlesbrough v/s Man Utd - Away win
Tottenham v/s Southampton - Home win
Man City v/s Liverpool - Home win

Most of the matches look even this week and there will probably be more drawn matches than usual. It will be interesting to see the impact of the European matches in mid-week notably on Leicester, Man Utd and Man City.

Leicester will be on a high after overcoming Sevilla and making it to the last 8 of the Champions League. I think they have a tough away trip to West Ham with both teams in need of points to get away from the relegation zone. While the Foxes have excelled in the UCL, their form in the Premier League has been terrible although they seem to have found a new lease of life after the sacking of Ranieri. I still think they are vulnerable on this trip though as they could be feeling the effects of the euphoria of the defeat of Sevilla. It might be worth going all out on a Hammers win or a draw-no-bet on the home team.

Chelsea have the title wrapped up bar accident and if they are ever to fail, I see Spurs as the most competent challengers to pick things up. It's true that they will be missing Kane to injury but the likes of Son and Ali have goals in them. Pochettino's men are a team on the upside and have rock solid form at home. They are difficult to break down. Southampton are no slouches as well and will certainly make it difficult for Spurs but in the end, I see the home team either edging or drawing this.

Win: West Ham
Draw-no-bet: Tottenham
