After delivering a fantastic five winners from five on Saturday, SlipsTips has lined up a Bet Builder double ahead of the final round of English Premier League fixtures on Sunday afternoon.
Aston Villa vs Chelsea (Sunday, 16:00)
Chelsea travel to Villa Park on Sunday knowing that a victory will guarantee them a Premier League top-four finish.
The Blues have undergone a marked improvement since Thomas Tuchel took the reins at Stamford Bridge and Tuesday night's 2-1 win over Leicester has put them in the driving seat for a Champions League berth.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, made a strong start to the campaign but they have been unable to maintain their early-season form and are now locked in 11th place.
What's more, Villa have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 11 top-flight tussles and with that in mind, I'll happily back the Blues to make the net bulge on Sunday.
Having said that, I suspect this clash could be tighter than the odds suggest so I'll complete the first-half of my Bet Builder double with over two Aston Villa corners.
Dean Smith's side are averaging a healthy 6.39 flag kicks per game at their West Midlands base this term and 3+ Villa corners doesn't look like too much to ask for on an afternoon when the hosts will be roared on by 10,000 raucous supporters.
West Ham vs Southampton (Sunday, 16:00)
West Ham have had a season to remember and they will be presented with the opportunity to rubber-stamp a Premier League top-six finish when Southampton come calling.
I've already penned a separate match preview on this end-of-season encounter which can be found here.
However, I'm also going to factor this fixture into the second-half of my Bet Builder double by backing West Ham to score and over two Southampton corners.
The Saints performances over recent months have been of a team ready for the curtain to come down on the campaign and they have failed to shutout their opponents in 19 of their last 20 Premier League assignments.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that West Ham still have work to do to ensure a Europa League spot, I'll happily back the Hammers to hit the back of the net in front of their returning supporters.
I'll complete the 5/6 (Bet 365) double with over two Southampton corners – the Saints are averaging 4.5 corners on their travels this term and they have hit three or more flag kicks in recent trips to the likes of Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham.
