Champions Leicester end their campaign at Chelsea, while Tottenham need a point against Newcastle to ensure they finish second.Third-placed Arsenal host Aston Villa, while the battle for fourth sees Manchester City go to Swansea and Manchester United entertain Bournemouth - with both games live on Sky Sports, along with Stoke v West Ham. All games kick-off at 3pm on Sunday. Midweek predictions Result Mersons prediction Norwich 4-2 Watford 2-0 Sunderland 3-0 Everton 3-1 Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea 2-1 West Ham 3-2 Man Utd 1-2 Who will take the final Champions League place and will Spurs finish second? The Magic Man gives his final predictions of the season...Man Utd v Bournemouth - live from 2.30pm on Sky Sports 1 HD United need to win. They were really poor against West Ham but I think they will get the three points. Bournemouth have had a great season but they have not been that good lately and United must win and hope Swansea do them a favour.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet) Manchester United lost to West Ham after leading 2-1 Stoke v West Ham - live from 2.55pm on Sky Sports 3 HDIm doing this game for Soccer Special and I think the Hammers will win. If they do they have a chance of finishing fifth and after all their hard work the other day they will be keen to get another good result. Stoke have played some good football through the season but sometimes they are not as hard to beat as they used to be. They are good footballers and you are always going to get hot and cold when you get those kind of players. Some of them are luxury players and when they are hot they are hot and when they are cold they are cold.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-2 (15/2 with Sky Bet) West Ham beat Manchester United in midweek Swansea v Manchester City - live from 2.55pm on Sky Sports 2 HDI think there will be a twist in the games between United and City. Swansea will give City a game and it will be nervy the whole way. If its 1-1 then it will be nervy because a late Swansea goal would knock City out of the top four. There is a lot to play for and everybody wants to win their last home game, that sells season tickets. Swansea have been in quite good form too, beating West Ham and Liverpool recently.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet) Swansea romped to victory over West Ham last weekend Arsenal v Aston VillaI cant think of anywhere worse for Villa to go on the last day. Arsenal have to win and I think its going to be a big win to end a disastrous season for Villa. They have 17 points and they won three of those on the first day of the season. There is zero chance they are going to spring a surprise at the Emirates.PAUL PREDICTS: 4-0 (17/2 with Sky Bet) Olivier Giroud scored in Arsenals last outing at Man City Chelsea v LeicesterWhich Eden Hazard is playing? If he turns up like he has done in recent weeks then it will be a different game. He has been unbelievable recently, his performance against Liverpool was one of the best of the season, that was what he was doing most weeks last year when they won the title. Eden Hazard scored a fine solo goal against Liverpool in midweek It will be an open and entertaining game, Leicester wont want to end their season on a losing note so there should be goals.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-2 (11/1 with Sky Bet)Everton v NorwichThe players havent looked like they have been playing for Roberto Martinez recently and now he is gone. Now the players will run around and look like they are making an effort. Five costly games Where it went wrong for Roberto Martinez The last few weeks they have been absolutely atrocious. Norwich will be deflated after their relegation and Everton will turn it on.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (16/1 with Sky Bet) Roberto Martinez was sacked after defeat to Sunderland West Brom v LiverpoolLiverpool will play their reserves with the Europa League final next week. The final is the be-all and end-all for them, they have to win it to get into the Champions League next season. Its a massive game for Liverpool, I cant see them not resting players at the weekend.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (12/1 with Sky Bet) Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is expected to rest players Southampton v Crystal PalacePalace are another team who will probably be resting players with the FA Cup final next weekend. Its pointless not resting players, they only get in a cup final once in a blue moon. Southampton are a decent team finishing the season well and they will want to get in the Europa League.PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (7/1 with Sky Bet) Southampton beat Tottenham in their last match Watford v SunderlandSunderland have done it and Sam Allardyce has delivered again. Watford were beaten the other day by Norwich but this will be an open game. Sunderland will be relaxed and play and its Watfords last game of the season so I think there will be goals.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-2 (11/1 with Sky Bet) Sam Allardyce has kept Sunderland in the Premier League Newcastle v TottenhamIf Spurs dont get a draw it would be an absolute shocker. I reckon they will get the point they need to finish second. Newcastle are down but they have to put on a show for their fans. They cant just go there and lie down after being relegated, they will have to make it a hard game for Tottenham otherwise the fans will get frustrated.

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. Fletcher Cox Eagles Jersey . It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. https://www.eaglessportsgoods.com/Womens-Dallas-Goedert-Inverted-Jersey/ . Already owning gold from competition in Vancouver in 2010, Loch posted a combined four-run time of 3:27.526. That included a track-record third run of 51. Seth Joyner Eagles Jersey . Pettersen, winner of last years Evian Championships, had nine birdies and three bogeys, holding off a series of challengers led by Marion Ricordeau of France. The second-ranked Norwegian made her season debut after missing the LPGA Tours opening event last month in the Bahamas because of a shoulder injury. Brian Dawkins Eagles Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. CARMEL, Ind. -- The gold medal has been by his side -- or in his golf bag or travel bag -- nearly every step, every mile, of the journey Justin Rose has taken from Rio de Janeiro to home in England and back to the United States for tournaments in New York, Boston and Indianapolis.The reaction to his Olympic Golf Tournament victory last month has been overwhelming, Rose said, and he wouldnt trade any of it.But the weight of that gold medal is dragging Rose down a bit during the third leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs.Rose would not go so far as to say he is dealing with an Olympic hangover after shooting 2-under-par 70 at Crooked Stick Golf Club in the second round of the BMW Championship on Friday. But hes clearly had difficulty putting his game back to the level it was at in Rio.You look at my performance, you can say Im dragging, said Rose, who is tied for 53rd place and in danger of not qualifying for the Tour Championship in two weeks. I focused on the majors. I focused on the Olympics. Im happy to sacrifice this. Thats the way it is. You cant be on all the time.Ive not been fit, not been 100 percent. Its been an incredible year winning the gold medal, but Ive not really been at my best all year. But at least I can look back on that.Roses victory over Henrik Stenson was a compelling duel on the final day of the Olympic tournament, a battle of major champions that went down to the last hole. American Matt Kuchar took the bronze after shooting a final-round 63.The aftermath turned into a feel-good story for golf, which had been plagued by indifference and negativity heading into the games.Rose never had that attitude. He looked forward to the experience all year, and when a back injury surfaced in the spring, he turned his attention to getting healthy -- but he only competed in the U.S. Open, the WGC-Bridgestone and The Open prior to the Olympics.Since winning the gold, he returned to a heros welcome in the United Kingdom, where he said people wanting to see or touch the medal was tenfold to that of the U.S. Open trophy when he won it in 2013.It surprised me for sure, Rose said. It surprised me how many people watched, how much its resonated here, how people seem so fired up about it, to be honest with you. Kooch has said the same thing. I earned a medal for Team GBB, but everyone has been so complimentary about it here (in the United States), I can only imagine what its been like for Kooch.dddddddddddd Henrik felt the same way. Its been cool, its been big; the reaction has been bigger than I had imagined.Rose began the FedEx Cup playoffs in 40th place -- he lost two spots while competing at the Olympics -- and in reasonable shape to move into the top 30 in order to qualify for the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.But despite a game that he says is right there, Rose has had difficulty putting it all together in the playoffs. He tied for 31st at the Barclays -- where Phil Mickelson got him to put the gold medal around his neck when he putted out on the final green.Last week, Rose shot scores of 68, 67 and 69 at the Deutsche Bank Championship and was in good position, before a horrific back nine on Monday saw him shoot 79. He dropped to a tie for 57th place and fell to 50th position in the FedEx Cup standings.Through two rounds at Crooked Stick Golf Club, he is projected 55th and needs a big weekend to move into the top 30. Otherwise, he wont make it to the Tour Championship for the first time since 2009.Atlanta is a bittersweet thing right now, he said. I really want to be in Atlanta. Its looking unlikely at the moment. But the silver lining of that would be the extra week off for the Ryder Cup. The Ryder Cup is a long week. So its not the end of the world if I dont make it.Rose said its difficult for the Ryder Cup not to be on his mind at this point. He noted the comments from spectators, such as, Take it easy on us this year -- a reference to Europe having won the past three Ryder Cups.Theyre more playful, boisterous, he said. Its been fun. It does build up around this time of year.Rose would love nothing more than to take some momentum to Hazeltine National for the Ryder Cup, and to do that, he needs to make it to Atlanta. A couple of low rounds are necessary.Short of that, Rose will use the time off to regroup and recharge. And hell have more time to stare at the gold medal, which wont provide the monetary rewards of a trip to the Tour Championship but should suffice for inspiration. ' ' '
