    Wolves 0-0 Brentford

    Wolves look to make a sharp start and draw a good save from David Raya.

    Brentford can only half clear a cross into the box and the ball is set up for Mario Lemina to hit. His shot is goalbound until Raya dives to tip over.

    Southampton 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Theo Walcott slips it through to Carlos Alcaraz. He is free in the box but the angle is tight and it's straight at Sam Johnstone.

    Southampton 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Shaky start from Southampton keeper Gavin Bazunu. He sprints out then retreats and Jordan Ayew is allowed to dribble dangerously towards the box. He gets a shot off but it's deflected and Saints eventually clear their lines.

    • Tottenham have won all five of their home Premier League games against Bournemouth, beating them in all five campaigns between 2015-16 and 2019-20.
    • Bournemouth have won four of their past eight Premier League games (L4), as many as they had in their first 22 this season (D6 L12). Following their 1-0 win at Leicester last time out, the Cherries are looking to win back-to-back top-flight away games for the first time since October 2018.
    • Harry Kane has scored in 20 different Premier League games in 2022-23, more than any other player (Erling Haaland - 18), and his most ever in a season (19 in 2017-18). Only five players have ever scored in more separate matches in a single campaign in the competition, most recently Mohamed Salah in 2017-18 (24).

    'Welcome home Frank' reads a banner behind one of the goals.

    This is Chelsea's first home game since appointing Frank Lampard as interim boss to replace another interim boss Bruno Saltor, who replaced Graham Potter, who replaced Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Lampard a couple of years ago.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-0

    Fulham seem to be the Premier League team who have gone on holiday, and they have now lost four games in a row. Their manager Marco Silva will have a bit of a point to prove at Goodison Park after the way things went for him during his time there, but whether his players will turn up is another matter.

    This is such a big game for Everton, though. I feel like they have to win it if they are going to stay up.

    I thought the Toffees' performance in their defeat by Manchester United last time out was pretty weak but home is where it has to happen for Sean Dyche's side and I think things will go their way this weekend.

    Tottenham v Bournemouth (15:15 BST)

    Cristian Stellini says Tottenham will protect Richarlison as the Brazil international returns from injury.

    Richarlison has not played since 18 March when he managed five minutes in a draw at Southampton - but he is on the bench today.

    "We have to take care with Richy. To give him training and the right timing to play. To not take risks," said Stellini.

    "He's not the only one who wants to be on the pitch every time. Every player wants to be on the pitch.

    "Sometimes they hide their condition to try to play, to have one possibility to score, to do something good.

    "But now when you live experience like Richarlison this season, maybe they can grow in their mindset. I hope that Richy understands that we are taking care of him."

    Chelsea v Brighton (15:00 BST)

    Sutton's prediction: 1-2

    I was in Madrid with BBC Radio 5 Live in midweek to cover Chelsea, who have not scored a goal in any of their past four games. Their drought has now lasted more than six hours in total.

    The way Brighton play might suit Chelsea in some respects - the Blues had a couple of early chances against Real on the counter-attack - but I don't really know what system Frank Lampard will try this time.

    Lampard used a back four in last weekend's defeat by Wolves in his first game back in charge, but went with a back three in the Champions League. Whichever way he has played, it hasn't worked because they haven't found the net.

    Everyone viewed Lampard's appointment as short-term, just until the end of the season, but I am sure he harboured hopes of doing enough to get it permanently - and this been the worst possible start for him.

    He needs a couple of of big results, and quickly, if he is going to turn things around but this is going to be a difficult game for Chelsea to get anything from.

    Brighton will quite rightly be smarting from the manner of their defeat by Tottenham last week and the wrong decisions that went against them.

    The Seagulls have one way of playing, and they are a brilliant team to watch. They deserved so much more against Spurs, but I have a feeling they will get their rewards this week.

    Southampton v Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)

    James Ward-ProwseImage source, Getty Images
    • Southampton are winless in their past three Premier League games against Crystal Palace (D1 L2) since winning 3-1 in May 2021.
    • Crystal Palace have recovered a league-high 20 points from losing positions this season, only ever recovering more in a Premier League campaign in 2014-15 (21). The Eagles have won both of their league games since Roy Hodgson’s return to the club despite going 1-0 behind; no manager in Premier League history has ever won his first three games of a spell with the club despite falling behind in all three.
    • Jordan Ayew has already been involved in more goals for Crystal Palace under Roy Hodgson this season (3 - 2 goals, 1 assist), than he was under Patrick Vieira (2 - 1 goal, 1 assist). With 32 goals and 17 assists overall in the Premier League, he could become the 16th different African player to record 50 goal involvements in the competition, and the first from Ghana.
  13. 'We continue to set targets'published at 14:56 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    FT: Aston Villa 3-0 Newcastle

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa manager Unai Emery speaking to Match of the Day: "Good afternoon, yes I am very proud of our work of the players, the supporters and it is the last match in a row we kept a clean sheet. The best challenge we have head in our way was today and we did it. We an look u more or not. Our new target was to be top ten, we have to now get the second target to fight to be accounted and fight for a European position."

    On European prospects: "Yes the first target was to escape the bottom, we did, the next was to get in the top-half, we are. We are being very demanding to add anew target top be in the top six but of course we are going to face the teams that are now fighting for that. Today we showed and we believe with our supporters we can do that."

    On Ollie Watkins: "Yes [he was good in] both boxes. Our box to try and get a clean sheet again and of course in the opponents box to score I think the performance now of Ollie is fantastic He needs his team mates and they are very happy because he is very humble. He is every day trying to improve and learn more and that is the way I want everybody to be. He is a very good example.

    "He is adding a lot of things and I think he has always scored but he is now understanding a little bit more to understand how he can attack the spaces, when he has to drop to get the ball and set the ball. He is understanding everything as as striker and he is scoring because he is feeling very [happy]."

    Each game needs to be treated like it's the most important of the season.

    It's the mentality that gives you a chance... if you're not here now then ultimately you're losing out.

    • Chelsea have never lost a home league game against Brighton, conceding just once in seven previous meetings at Stamford Bridge (W5 D2).
    • Brighton’s only league win in 15 league matches (D4 L10) against Chelsea was in this season’s reverse fixture, winning 4-1 at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls had not led for a single minute in any of their 10 Premier League games against Chelsea before that win.
    • Three of Evan Ferguson’s four Premier League goals for Brighton have come away from home. Among players to have scored at least three away goals this season, only Newcastle’s Alexander Isak (81) has a better minutes per goal rate on the road than Brighton’s Ferguson (100 - three goals in 300 minutes).

    Aston Villa boss Unai Emery to BT Sport: "I'm very thankful to the supporters because they were amazing today. It was a difficult match and we were focussed for 90 minutes, offensively and defensively.

    "We have to be well balanced, not thinking it will be easy because it will be difficult. At half time, when we were speaking about the first half, everyone was sure we were playing well. We were controlling the game, but our challenge was to be consistent. We did it."

    Julen Lopetegui is slowly guiding Wolves to Premier League safety and they face a Brentford side who struggle on the road.

    The tactical battle will be interesting as Brentford will let Wolves play and ask them to break down a low block potentially.

    Thomas Frank will be hoping Brian Mbeumo can help Kevin Schade and Ivan Toney in a 3 pronged atttack.

    Really interesting encounter here.....

    Wolves v Brentford (15:00 BST)

    Chris SuttonImage source, BBC Sport

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

    Brentford are on a run of four games without a win but I don't feel like they have lost any of their focus or suddenly become a soft touch - they actually played really well in the first half of their defeat by Newcastle last week.

    It's important this little blip does not last much longer, though. I think Bees boss Thomas Frank will be determined that they end the season strongly because if they ease up then it could take the shine off what has been an excellent campaign.

    A few people, myself included, were not sure how they would get on in their second season in the top flight - especially without Christian Eriksen who was so influential in the way they finished their first one - but they have been a revelation. They've never looked in any danger whatsoever of going down.

    Wolves have had a much more difficult campaign, although they have now got a bit of breathing space above the bottom three.

    They scored a brilliant goal to beat Chelsea last week but they are still not free-flowing when they attack. I don't see that changing, and I think they will do just enough to avoid defeat here.

    Everton know that between now and the end of the season they've got to win two, maybe three games. Generally form has seemed quite good under Sean Dyche but they are going to have to keep battling until the end of the season. This game, he will have noticed at the start, he needs three points here.

    FT: Aston Villa 3-0 Newcastle

    Villa have now equalled the club Premier League record of five consecutive wins, set in 1996 under Brian Little and matched in 1998 under John Gregory.

    In a virtual Premier League table since Unai Emery took over as manager at the beginning of November, Villa would be joint-second on 38 points from 18 games, alongside Manchester City (38 points from 17 games). Only Arsenal (42 points from 18 games) have claimed more points in this period.
