    Wolves

    Wolves start 12th but need to win their last two games at Goodison Park and at home to Manchester United on Sunday to have any chance of finishing higher.

    Nuno Espirito Santo's side are playing for pride but goals have been hard to come by on the road.

    They've netted 15 in 18 matches - only relegated Sheffield United have scored fewer.

    Tottenham interim boss Ryan Mason speaking to Sky Sports on Harry Kane's future: "No one said it's Harry's last game here. It's our last home game of the season. We want to go into the last game in a good position.

    "It's all speculation. Harry hasn't come out and said anything just yet. There's been no distraction. There's speculation about managers, the Super League, it's normal when you're at a club like this."

    A roar at Goodison Park as Z-Cars blasts out of the speakers. It's a sunny day on Merseyside with the skies above matching Everton's blue shirts.

    The teams are out at Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham.

    Excited? We're moments from kick-off.

    Tottenham's home form has held up over the past few weeks but they are not going to get in the Champions League.

    Spurs should be able to get at Villa, who let another lead slip at Crystal Palace on Sunday and seem to be leaking goals at the moment.

    Prediction: 2-1

    Everton start ninth in the table but can still mathematically secure a European place if they win their last two games against Wolves and at champions Manchester City on Sunday.

    The Champions League is out of reach for Carlo Ancelotti's side but they can still sneak into the Europa League or the new third-tier Europa Conference League.

    "We don't have a lot of possibility, but we still can have the dream for Europe - only if we are able to win these two games," said boss Carlo Ancelotti.

    "So we need to really focus there. We are so disappointed about the game on Sunday and I would like to see a reaction from the team."

  7. New club record?published at 17:51 British Summer Time 19 May 2021

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa's tally of 49 points is their highest in a Premier League season since the 64 they accrued under Martin O'Neill in 2009-10.

    Villa's eight league away wins is as many as they recorded in their previous three top-flight campaigns combined.

    They could set a new club top-flight record of nine away clean sheets in a season.

    Having their fans back for this one should help Everton a lot, so I am going for a home win this time - if only because Wolves don't really ever look like scoring.

    Prediction: 2-0

    Carlo Ancelotti on his plans to strengthen Everton in the summer: "We don't need to do a revolution. We have to follow plan, we signed good players last season and we have to do the same this season, no revolution."

    Ryan Mason is the first Spurs boss to win his opening three home matches in charge since Harry Redknapp in November 2008.

    They have won eight of their past nine home fixtures in all competitions, scoring 24 goals in those victories.

    Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo on the return of fans: "It is huge for everyone. Finally we will have fans. Fans returning is the best thing to happen in the game. Hopefully next season it will be better than ever."

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Spurs cannot qualify for the Champions League - but they look likely to be in Europe next season.

    A win today would practically secure their place in Europe - because of their superior goal difference to the teams beneath them.

    Fifth or sixth place would see them in the Europa League group stages, while seventh place would be a Europa Conference League play-off spot.

    The sound of turnstiles clicking is back at Goodison Park. What a lovely noise. Around 6,500 are expected to witness the final home game of the season.

    Since such data became available in 2003-04, the only player to hit the woodwork more than Harry Kane in a top-flight season is Robin van Persie, with 10 in 2011-12.

    Newcastle v Sheff Utd (18:00 BST)

    Newcastle United

    Asked if he is anxious about fans returning to St James' Park, Newcastle boss Steve Bruce said: "Whatever kind of reception I get, I'm delighted that the supporters are back because I know how much it means. It's been a long times since we've played with a support.

    "I think the fans will be coming to cheer on their team and they've enjoyed watching us of late. It's very important we can put on a performance like we have been doing recently.

    "I'm sure they'll give the team a wonderful reception."

  16. Last thing he needs is fans chanting 'Bruce out'published at 17:31 British Summer Time 19 May 2021

    The positive thing for Sheffield United is that they are not going down being beaten heavily every week.

    There is nothing riding on this game now Newcastle are safe but it's important they put on a good show in front of their fans. By that I mean they should go for it a bit.

    The last thing Steve Bruce needs is an off-day from his team and a load of supporters chanting 'Bruce out' at him as soon as they are allowed back in the stadium.

    Prediction: 2-1

  17. 'I'm not a magician'published at 17:29 British Summer Time 19 May 2021

    Everton

    Asked why he hasn't been able to solve Everton's dodgy home form, boss Carlo Ancelotti replied at his pre-match news conference: "Because I'm not a magician, I am only a trainer.

    "It's difficult to explain how we were so good away and so bad at home, we show strong spirit and sacrifice away.

    "When we are not so focused or sacrificed we have more problems.

    "We've won 14 of 21 when we scored early and played against stronger team.

    "For 15 games we tried to play a bit different. Of these 15 games we won only two."

    Some managers will privately have been relieved no fans have been allowed in grounds for most of this season.

    Steve Bruce is still trying to convince some of Newcastle's support that he is the right man for the job, while Carlo Ancelotti has seen his Everton side lose nine league games at home.

    How will Newcastle and Everton fans react tonight when they return?

    Apparently there's been a little confusion over the Wolves team news.

    The original team sheet which was submitted was wrong and Willy Boly is starting instead of Romain Saiss.
