HULL v SWANSEA, Saturday 5th April, 15:00

Another important battle at the bottom of the table takes place at the KC Stadium as Hull entertain Swansea with both sides badly in need of three points at the bottom of the table.

Hull are the marginal favourites for the game at 7/4 (bet365/BETVICTOR/STAN JAMES). The Tigers have won just four games since December with these results coming against the bottom four, it has so far been enough to keep them above the relegation places though the Hull fans must be nervously looking over their shoulder. Swansea seemed to finally look like the side of last season when seeing off Norwich 3-0 last weekend. Bony was unplayable and Michu showed signs of returning to form after a lengthy lay off with injury. It is true their away form has been poor but they have won at Palace, Fulham and West Brom this season and the class of the visitors should win out here for me.

RECOMMENDATION: Swansea draw no bet v Hull, 11/10 (ladbrokes)

NEWCASTLE v MAN UNITED, Saturday 5th April,15:00

These two sides will come into the game in very different moods as Newcastle can not wait for the season to end while for Man United you get the idea things are just getting started.

Bookmakers make the Red Devils the evens (paddy Power/ladbrokes/william hill) favourites for the game. United have the best away record in the Premier League taking 30 points from 48 and will fancy their chances here against a Magpies side who have lost three of their last four games and netted just once during these 360 minutes.

Newcastle have been terrible recently losing six of their last eight in front of their own fans. It is for these reasons I recommened backing the visitors to get all three points here.

In addition I also like the 2/1 (888 SPORT/unibet) on Danny Welbeck to net anytime against a Newcastle back line that has shipped seven in their last two. The United front man was a menace with his pace against Bayern and I like his chances here.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Man U, evs (paddy Power/ladbrokes/william hill)
Danny Welbeck to score anytime, 2/1 (888 SPORT/unibet)

NORWICH v WEST BROM, Saturday 5th April, 15:00

Another of the vital relegation battles takes place at Carrow Road as Norwich entertain West Brom with both sides desperate for three points to see off the relegation pack.

The Canaries are great value at 29/20 (BETVICTOR/WILLIAM HILL) or 8/11 (boylesports/BETVICTOR) for those who want to play this more conservative. Norwich are unbeaten in their last seven home games and this includes games against Man City and Tottenham. Since November the Canaries have taken three points from home games against Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Hull. The Baggies meanwhile have won just two of their 15 away games all season and that was against the run of play against Swansea.

RECOMMENDATION: Norwich to win, 29/20 (BETVICTOR/WILLIAM HILL)

CHELSEA v STOKE, Saturday 5th April, 17:30

I know the stats about Jose Mourinho at home and his wonder record, I know the stats about Stoke being poor away from home. I also know that at odds of 16/5 (BWIN) the Potters can not be ignored along with the draw in the double chance market. Jose Mourinho has been talking all season about his side is not good enough and then they went on to prove it by losing at Palace last weekend and to PSG in the Champions League in midweek. Stoke are unbeaten in their last five games, winning four of these. The Potters have eight goals in three games and have the firepower to worry a rattled Chelsea.

RECOMMENDATION: Stoke/draw double chance v Chelsea, 16/5 (BWIN)
