Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
- Kick-off: Sunday, May 11, 23:15 AEST / 13:15 UTC

Liverpool vs Arsenal
- Kick-off: Monday, May 12, 01:30 AEST / 15:30 UTC

The already crowned 2025 Champions face off against an up-and-down Arsenal side who have hit a slight form slump across the League & their recent European matchup against PSG. This matchup is easily the match of the round, with it being 1st vs 2nd. I think Liverpool will simply be too strong at home, as Arsenal have shifted focus toward their upcoming Champions League second leg.
Betting tip:
- Liverpool to Win @ $2.08 ✅
- Both Teams to Score - Yes @ $1.62 ✅
