  • Sunderland

    vs.

    Arsenal

England Premier League

Sunday 11th May 15:00 GMT

Whilst both of the teams here clearly have nothing to play for, we shouldn't expect that neither will be bothered about the result. Roy Keane has spoken publically about his disappointment with many of his players and today may be their last chance to convince him they shouldn't be sold in the summer. Arsenal meanwhile are set to rest a whole host of stars including, Sagna, Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky, Diaby and Van Persie. Remember too that Sunderland will have huge home support behind them. Given these facts I think it's wrong to assume an easy Arsenal victory.

Tipster: Jon Karlsson

Sunderland can certainly avoid defeat here. Take Keane's men at +0.5 on the Asian Handicap (that is to Draw or Win) at a nicely priced 2.00 with bet365

  • Derby

    vs.

    Reading

England Premier League

Sunday 11th May 15:00 GMT

Reading have been in total freefall for months and to be honest they look a shambles. Derby meanwhile are the worst ever Premier League team, and that's now official as they have will finish with the lowest points total. There have though been some signs of improvement, although not enough to really do anything at Premier League level. The pressure is also far more on the visitors than the hosts and Reading look a really short price to win here. It is possible Derby can at least draw this game and I am not sure Reading can suddenly produce their best football under such pressure.

Tipster: Jon Karlsson

Try a small stake on Derby at +0.5 Asian Handicap (that's to Win or Draw) as they are a generous 2.35 at bet365

  • Tottenham

    vs.

    Liverpool

England Premier League

Sunday 11th May 15:00 GMT

This is a relaxed game for both teams as neither have anything to play for. As a result we should see an open game with Tottenham keen to finish well in front of their own supporters and Liverpool looking to attack and end the season well. Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 5 games whilst Liverpool have only failed to score in one of their last 12 matches. There should be goals at White Hart Lane today.

Tipster: Jon Karlsson

Jump on there being Over 2.5 goals in this game, priced at 1.70 with bet365

  • Everton

    vs.

    Newcastle

England Premier League

Sunday 11th May 15:00 GMT

The hosts just need a draw here to be sure of 5th spot and the European football that brings for next season. Everton do miss Arteta and Cahill in the middle of the park and that will surely impact their attacking drive. Newcastle are ready to put this season behind them and begin to build for the next. They certainly won't want to end it getting thumped here at Goodison Park and should play a little more cautiously than usual. Mark Viduka will miss out, and Joey Barton is unavailable for this one. By the looks of it, if the game is level after 60 minutes or so it would not be a surprise for these two to just play out time. For that reason there may not be too many goals in this one.

Tipster: Jon Karlsson

Under 2.5 goals in the game is the pick here. Let's hope for a borefest. It's 1.95 at bet365

  • Genoa

    vs.

    Lazio

Italy Serie A

Sunday 11th May 14:00 GMT

An interesting game here in Genoa. The hosts have enjoyed an excellent season and sit 8th in the Serie A table. Lazio meanwhile sit 13th and are also safe with nothing to play for. Normally that would be a recipe to leave this game well alone, but, we have to remember that Lazio had a tiring midweek Coppa Italia match against champions Inter Milan. Lazio have also been relatively poor travellers this season and it would be no surprise to see the hosts win this by a goal or two. However, keep stakes small, as both teams really do have little to play for.

Tipster: Jon Karlsson

Small stakes on a straight Genoa win, priced at 1.90 with bet365

  • Almeria

    vs.

    Recreativo

Spain La Liga

Sunday 11th May 16:00 GMT

Almeria are very safe in mid-table, whilst today's visitors Recreativo sit just one place outside the relegation zone. There can be no doubt about who needs the win more here. Almeria have not won in their last 3 games, losing 2 of those and we can clearly see that their players have their minds more on prospective summer holidays than La Liga. Recreativo can be dangerous and they can score goals. They will give it everything today and should really not lose here.

Tipster: Jon Karlsson

Gobble up Recreativo on the Asian Handicap 0, which is Draw No Bet. That's priced at 1.92 with bet365
