After some interesting results in Week 33, Tottenham have moved to within just four points of ladder leaders Chelsea and breathed life back into the title race with just five rounds to go. With no big six matchups this week, we take a look at some of the key games in Week 34 of the EPL Season below.
EPL Week 34 Betting Tips
Burnley vs Manchester United (Sunday, 11.15pm AEST)
Manchester United will travel to Turf Moor on Sunday night to take on Burnley, who have been surprisingly good at home all season. While they are still winless on the road, Burnley have an impressive 10 wins at home, which is by far the best record of any team outside the top 7.
Manchester United have struggled to find the back of the net at times this year, and have scored just once in their last four trips to Turn Moor. Their 12 draws on the season so far is equal most in the league and the last four games between these two teams have produced just two goals total. We are predicting another low scoring game here, probably a draw.

Chelsea vs Southampton (Wednesday, 4.45am AEST)
Chelsea’s FA Cup fixture this weekend will push their EPL matchup back to next Wednesday as they host Southampton at Stanford Bridge. After a disappointing loss to Manchester United last weekend, the Blues are now just four points clear at the top of the table and will be desperate for a win here to stay clear.
The Blues have a great home record this year, losing just two games at Stanford Bridge. They have also lost just one of their last 7 games against Southampton while the Saints have failed to keep a clean sheet against Chelsea since 2002. Chelsea should bounce back here.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace (Monday, 1.30am AEST)
With Manchester United surging, Liverpool will need to continue to win to hold onto their place in the top four and their ticket to next season’s Champions League. They’ll host Crystal Palace Monday morning who have been in great form of late, with wins over Arsenal and Chelsea in their last few games.
Liverpool have won their last two matches in tough away games at Stoke and West Brom so they will welcome the home stand here. New Crystal Palace coach Sam Allardyce has never won a game at Liverpool in 13 tries, however, Crystal Palace have won their last two games there. Tough game to pick but we think Crystal Palace could snatch a point here and continue their giant killing tour.

West Ham vs Everton (Sunday, 12am AEST)
Everton have won their last two games and six of their last ten to be one of the most in form teams in the league. They’ll travel to West Ham on Sunday night to take on the Hammers in an absolute must win to keep any hopes of finishing top four alive. They currently sit 7th points behind fourth placed Manchester City with five games remaining so will likely need something special.
West Ham have won just two of their last 10 games and only one of their last 17 meetings with the Toffees. Romelu Lukaku is the form striker in the comp right now, he leads the league in goals with 21 and has scored in his last nine games against West Ham. Look for him to continue his dominant form and lead the Toffees to victory here.
TIP: Everton to win - $2.25 at Unibet
