A top four finish for Newcastle is tantalisingly close but they've a promising run of fixtures to finish the season including today's match at Elland Road against an increasingly desperate Leeds Utd.
The Whites have turned to firefighter Sam Allardyce to keep them up and the Magpies should be wary of their former boss. He's won more Premier League matches (13) against Newcastle than any other side. He's probably going to need two wins from the final three matches to ensure survival – a tall order with West Ham and Spurs still to come.
Newcastle have yet to lose a match against teams currently in the bottom half of the table and it's unlikley that stat will change this lunchtime. Eddie Howe's side is brimming with quality and with still plenty to play for should be too good for Allardyce's men at 7/10.
Could you trust Chelsea to win a 1/2? Frank Lampard got his first win last week against Bournemouth but still weren't totally convincing but the Blues legend has a brilliant chance to claim another three points at home to Nottingham Forest this afternoon.
The Tricky Trees have the worst away record in the top flight, winning just six points on the road all season, but this is a strange time of the season when teams in need can find pull performances out of nowhere. That should be enough to keep punters well away from the home win at such short odds.
Instead double up Newcastle with Manchester United for a 7/5 double. Two 1-0 defeats away from home have allowed Liverpool to close the gap on Erik ten Hag's men but they're still in the driving seat for the top four. There can be no more slip-ups though and they should get back to winning ways at Old Trafford against Wolves.
It'll be a surreal match at Ibrox this lunchtime. The title race is over, there's officially nothing at stake, there'll be no away fans and in one dugout a Celtic manager chasing several league records and month away from the Scottish Cup final and in the other a Rangers boss who has his eye on next season and a massive rebuild of his squad.
It's near impossible to call this one. Ange Postecoglou might ring the changes to utilise his squad with the Premiership trophy already in the bag. Michael Beale has up to eight first team players out of contract at the end of the season so how many of them will he entrust to deliver his first win over the Hoops?
The bookies make the champions favourites to win for a fifth time over the Gers this season at 13/10. Rangers are 9/5 – a big price for what is a pretty meaningless game at home.
With the shackles off we could see goals but Over 2.5 pays just 4/6. Over 1.5 first half goals appeals at 6/4 as does the 2.150 on the 1.0,1.5 First Half Asian Line.
Aberdeen were unlucky not leave Ibrox with something last weekend and have been transformed under Barry Robson. They look a very generous price at 21/20 against Hibs. The Dons have a strong home record and probably should be the other side of evens for this one. Even money on two or more Aberdeen goals should also be on the shortlist.
Livi look ready for the season to end and Kilmarnock can take advantage this afternoon at Rugby Park. Even money looks a little too skinny though. Doubling the home win with under 4 goals pays a more handsome 13/8.

As always, let us know your best betting tips and predictions for today in the comments section below and good luck with all your bets!
Villa v Spurs
Spurs draw no bet 11/10 Various
Spurs seem to enjoy it a Villa park and have won on their last 8 visits and are also unbeaten in 12 there.
2/1 for a Spurs win also seems very generous against a stuttering Villa of late, and Spurs fine record there. But I’m happy to play it safe with the draw no bet at a very respectable 11/10
Close to landing alot of these but goal out here and there most times , more luck needed today , a few German teams and an Austrian thrown in ,
Eintracht Frankfurt
Union Berlin
Wolfsberger
St. Pauli
Over 2.5 mg’s 4 fold 11.38/1
Goodluck today all and let’s hope united can scrape over the line against wolves 🤞
No such thing as luck mate. Used to blame that for bets losing all the time till some old wise fella in the bookies said show me luck tell me what it’s made of what is its substance? I looked at him shocked then he just walked out the bookies 🤣🤣 good’luck’ today anyway I’ve put £2 on for the craic 👍💥💰🤘
I never blamed anything for losing bets mate , i have plenty of winners so don’t mind when bets lose it happens , and of course you need abit of luck on your side for bets to win…….
I know you didn’t deano mate was talking about myself!

Rangers v Celtic
Surely Rangers will have a go at Celtic today

Over 1 corner 1st 15 min 21/20 Hills
Bayswater over 2.5mgs 4/5**LOST** finished 2-1 but didn’t help no 1st half goals
Doing a longshot on 1st half goals
Aston Villa 2 + 1st half goals 6/1
Hearts 2 + 1st half goals 7/1
Motherwell 2 + 1st half goals 17/2
Singles x doubles x treble
The treble pays 531/1 boosted with Ladbrokes
The same treble with Hills boosted is 311/1
Where is the justification of 220 points of a difference between 2 bookmakers ?
Rangers V Celtic @ 12:30 today
Steven McLean is one of the most lenient refs in the SPL but also one of the least experienced. With no Celtic fans at Ibrox it’s a hard one to call which way it will go but Rangers will want to win in front of their own fans so I think they will put up a fight and the tackles could fly. As Celtic already have the double in the bag and the treble waiting on ice this game means nothing from a competitive stance but that means nothing in these games so I think it could be open with both teams going for it and an early goal to light the touch paper.
Rangers most corners

Wow insane game at Leeds…took maccas tip of Leeds win thought I was gonna be payed out for 2 up on a good odds then they blow the pen😱😳😲😨😰😥😢
I actually tipped Leeds double chance, Bamford is the worst striker in the EPL, I was dreading him taking that Penalty.
Can’t believe he took it over rodrigo
Macca would you be kind enough to post your Saturday tips on the day would be so helpful to us that follow I always forget to take a screen grab and never remember what you picked out. No worries if not mate all good. Big second half here please! 🙏😱🤯💥💰
Gone for a Nottingham double today at Willy Hill
Forest win and BTS. 11/1
Notts County win and BTS 9/4
£20 returns £780 (If it wins).
Forest have shown a lot of fight lately and are scoring goals against everyone. When you attack as much as they do, the down side is you do tend to concede (prime example being their trip to Anfield).
Although Chelsea won last week, they really don’t have anything to play for and against a team that’s really fighting, passion and desire should win against who’s got the more talented expensive squad.
Notts County have been outstanding all season, They started badly in the 1st leg of this semi but showed their quality to comeback. Am hoping they continue today as they left off and get the win. Should be goals at both ends as like Forest, when you attack all out, you are gonna concede the odd goal. The importance of the occasion will surely see the opposition get on the scoresheet too. Fingers crossed.
No joy with my Cal Mac goal LOSER

Real MAdrid V Getafe – In -Play from 8PM
Real play play city on Wed and the league is over. They play City in the champions league so this is the second string out.
A pont will lift Getafe from 18th to 15th on goal difference so they would bite you hand off for a draw.
Draw 11/4 in play
