5 Premier League Tips for Wednesday’s Action – 19/5/21

West Bromwich Albion host West Ham United at the Hawthorns this Wednesday, with the away side in desperate need of all three points to qualify for next season’s Europa League.

The Baggies have already been relegated but showed last time out against Liverpool that they won’t be rolling over for anyone, as it took a remarkable goal from Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker in the 95th minute for Jurgen Klopp’s side to win the game.

Whilst West Ham are just three points ahead of Everton in eighth place and four ahead of Arsenal in ninth. David Moyes will be hoping that his side can wrap up a place in Europe without and last day dramas.

West Brom have lost 20 matches this campaign, the second-most in the Premier League, whilst West Ham’s last win came against Burnley on 3rd May, where a Michail Antonio brace sealed all three points at Turf Moor for the Irons.

The last meeting between these two sides in the league was last January, which resulted in a 2-1 win for West Ham at the London Stadium, as goals from Jarrod Bowen and Antonio, either side of Matheus Pereira’s 51st-minute equaliser for the Baggies saw Moyes’ side emerge victorious.

Newcastle United take on bottom of the table Sheffield United at St James’ Park, where Steve Bruce’s side will be looking to pick up all three points and regain the good form they had until last weekend’s defeat against Manchester City.

The Magpies pushed City all the way, as a Ferran Torres hattrick gave the Citizens a hard-earned 4-3 win. Prior to their defeat against City, the Toon Army had won three out of their last five league matches against Burnley, West Ham and Leicester City.

The Blades managed to pull off a shock result at the weekend, as they won just their second away game of the season against Everton at Goodison Park thanks to a goal from 17-year-old debutant Daniel Jebbison, who became the youngest player in Premier League history to score on his first start in the division.

Joe Willock is the player in focus on this tip, as the Arsenal loanee has been in impressive scoring of late, finding the back of the net six times in 12 league appearances, with five of these coming in his last five outings for the Magpies.

Burnley face Liverpool at Turf Moor with the away side knowing that anything less than a win could end their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

As mentioned above, Liverpool managed to scrape a 2-1 win against West Brom at the weekend thanks to a sensational finish to the game which saw Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson score. Prior to this victory, Klopp’s side recorded 4-2 and 2-0 wins against Manchester United and Southampton.

Sean Dyche’s men have lost three out of their last five matches and will be looking to put in a much better display than last weekend’s 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Leeds United. The last time these two sides met, Burnley beat Liverpool at Anfield 1-0 via a late Ashley Barnes penalty, which kickstarted a run of home defeats for Klopp’s side.

Three of Liverpool’s last four wins have seen both teams score against West Brom, United and Aston Villa, which sees them priced at 11/8 to win against Burnley with both teams to score.

Tottenham Hotspur host Aston Villa on Wednesday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, looking to all but confirm themselves a place in Europe next season.

Ryan Mason’s side have won three out of their last four matches in the Premier League, beating the likes of Wolves, Sheffield United and Southampton. Whilst Villa have managed just one win in their last seven outings, which came via a 2-1 scoreline at Goodison Park on 1st May, thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins and Anwar El Ghazi.

Spurs won the last meeting between these two sides in late March, where strikes from Carlos Vinicius and Harry Kane sealed all three points for an under-pressure Jose Mourinho, who at the time didn’t have Son Heung-min available due to injury.

South Korean forward Son, is having an incredible campaign, scoring 17 and assisting 10 in 35 appearances this season. Prior to Spurs’ 2-0 win at home to Wolves on the weekend, Son had scored three goals in his last three matches, which ultimately sees the 28-year-old priced at 9/5 to score in a Tottenham win.

The final match on this list of tips sees Crystal Palace face Arsenal at Selhurst Park, with the away side looking to make a late challenge for a place in Europe next season.

Palace come into this game on the back of an impressive 3-2 win against Aston Villa, as Roy Hodgson’s side were trailing 2-1 in this match, as goals from John McGinn and El Ghazi put the Villains in a 2-1 lead, but, late goals from Wilfried Zaha and Tyrick Mitchell earned the Eagles all three points.

Arsenal come into this match on the back of three wins in a row, having defeated Newcastle, West Brom and Chelsea.

The players to focus on in this tip are Zaha and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Former United man Zaha managed to score last time out, taking the Ivorian’s goal tally up to 11 for the league season, whilst Aubameyang’s last goal came in the Gunners 2-0 victory over Newcastle.
