The Premier League only has two weekends left before we wrap things up for another season, and that means there are also only two more weekends of the football pools.
The title race and battle for survival were completed weeks ago, but the battle for the Champions League places is as close as ever. Six teams are competing for four positions, and it's still very much all to play for.
With teams losing matches they shouldn't and more tricky fixtures to come, could draws actually turn out to be the recipe for success? With our football pools tips this weekend, we're looking to pick up as many points as possible from the scoring system outlined below:
- Score draw: 3 points
- No-score draw (0-0): 2 points
- Home or away win: 1 point

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest (Premier League)
West Ham will take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and the hosts will be in a confident mood after beating Man Utd at Old Trafford last weekend. However, that win does stand out as a bit of an anomaly in the context of their recent results. The Hammers have drawn 50% of their last eight Premier League matches.
Nottingham Forest have been drawing their fair share of games recently, too, with their two most recent Premier League matches both ending level.
Arsenal vs Newcastle United (Premier League)
Arsenal have become the Premier League's premier drawers in 2025, which is the main reason why they have ended up falling so far behind Liverpool. The Gunners have drawn four of their last six Premier League matches, and they face another top-quality team this weekend, so another one is highly possible.
The context of this match is also important to consider. Arsenal currently need just a point to guarantee themselves Champions League football, while it would also ensure Newcastle go into the final weekend with their destiny in their own hands. There is no real need for either side to commit to a win, which increases the likelihood of a draw tenfold.
Leicester City vs Ipswich (Premier League)
Leicester and Ipswich have both had dismal seasons in the Premier League, and after 36 matches, they are both locked together on just 22 points. Of Ipswich's 22 points, ten have been earned via draws, and two of those have come in their last five matches.
Leicester have drawn fewer matches than Ipswich over the course of the season, but they have been trending in draws recently, with two of their last five also finishing level. They will also feel that their recent clash with Liverpool should have finished all square, too.
Brighton vs Liverpool (Premier League)
Only Everton and Arsenal have drawn more matches than Brighton this season, with 13 to their name so far. Of those 13, eight have come at home, and another one this weekend wouldn't necessarily shock anyone who watched the 2-2 between these two teams in last season's corresponding fixture.
Liverpool have certainly taken their foot off the accelerator since winning the league title, too. The Reds have failed to win each of their two most recent matches and drew last weekend against Arsenal.
Crystal Palace vs Wolves (Premier League)
After playing in the cup final on Saturday, Crystal Palace will be back in Premier League action against Wolves on Tuesday night. At the time of writing, there is no way of knowing what kind of mood the Eagles are going to be in, but there will be tired legs in their ranks, and that levels the playing field.
Oliver Glasner's men have drawn 13 matches in the Premier League this season, and three of those have come in their last four matches. Wolves may have only drawn five matches this season, but one of those was a score draw against Crystal Palace back in November.
