Man United v Fulham

Man United v Fulham – Tuesday, May 18: 6pm

These end of season games are always quite hard to predict. Manchester United have had a great season but those three games in five days really caught up with them and they didn’t play well against Leicester and Liverpool. They lost both of those games at home but they were unbeaten in their previous 14 before that.

I’m going for a Man United win but I have slight concerns about them already having a top-four spot wrapped up and the Europa League final coming up.

Fulham lost at Southampton last weekend but they had quite a few chances and the score was a little bit unjust. However, they’ve won just five games all season, it’s not going well for them.

I’m going for a comfortable United win. I fancy United to win 3-0 with Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani both scoring.

Chelsea v Leicester

The FA Cup final was fantastic. What an emotional day it was for Leicester, who finally won the cup, but if Chelsea don’t take three points here I’ll be absolutely astonished.

When you get these double games come so close together, normally one team wins one and the other wins the next game. You can throw out any stats you want but this comes down to attitude, and Leicester will have been partying since winning the cup.

Yes, they’ve still got a lot to play for, but Chelsea will be angry.

Last time Chelsea played in the Premier League they were a bit blasé and lost at home against Arsenal. However, they should bounce back and Thomas Tuchel will get them up for this one. I fancy Chelsea to win 2-0 and Timo Werner to score anytime.

THOMMO’S TUESDAY TIPS:

18:00: Man United v Fulham
Man United to Win 3-0
Marcus Rashford to Score Anytime
Edinson Cavani to Score Anytime

20:15: Chelsea v Leicester
Chelsea to Win 2-0
Timo Werner to Score Anytime
