Recommended bets:
- Aston Villa to beat Fulham
- Everton/Everton in Half Time/Full Time market vs Ipswich
- Over 3.5 goals in Leicester vs Southampton
- Arsenal and Bournemouth to draw
The Premier League finish line is in sight with just four rounds of fixtures left and with the title and relegation places having already been decided, the focus is firmly on the battle for Europe.
There are four matches on the slate for Saturday, starting with Champions League contenders Aston Villa hosting Fulham and concluding with Arsenal, whose own focus may be on continental matters, entertaining Bournemouth.
Here are our experts' best bets for all of Saturday's games from the English top flight.
Aston Villa vs Fulham (12.30pm)
Aston Villa have had a difficult 10 days or so after losing to top-five rivals Manchester City and then Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final, but this has still been a campaign to remember for Emery's team and they can pick up a valuable victory at home to Fulham on Saturday.
Before their late 2-1 defeat at the Etihad, Villa had been on an impressive five-game winning streak in the top flight, moving right back into contention for a Champions League place.
Fulham had also been in the conversation for the top five earlier in the campaign but Marco Silva's side have faded in recent weeks, following back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth and Chelsea.
The visitors are bound to be competitive at Villa Park but expect a home win as Emery's side get back on track in timely fashion.
Everton vs Ipswich (3pm)
Everton have been rejuvenated and hard to beat since the return of David Moyes but they have only won five of 16 games during the Scot's second spell in charge.
However, in their penultimate match at Goodison Park and against an Ipswich side already confined to the drop, the Toffees should be able to claim all three points.
Ipswich's seemingly inevitable relegation was confirmed last week and with morale bound to be low in the visitors' ranks, Everton should secure a dominant win.

Leicester vs Southampton (3pm)
Even though goals have been hard to find for both teams this season, the fact that two of the poorest sides meet in early May could act as a bit of a leveller and both can at least play with plenty of freedom as they aim to show their opponents what to expect next season back in the gruelling Championship.
In that regard, we might finally see the Foxes score at home for the first time in nine games as they look to expose a Saints defence that has shipped a division-high 80 goals this season.
For their part, Southampton will be determined to try and pick up a result that would finally see them move clear of the 11 points Derby picked up during the 2007-08 season — the lowest total ever recorded in the Premier League.
Arsenal vs Bournemouth (5.30pm)
Arsenal might be feeling the effects of their Champions League clash with PSG and changes are expected when they host top-10-chasing Bournemouth on Saturday.
The Cherries could take advantage as Gunners boss Mikel Arteta understandably instead focuses on the second leg in Paris on Wednesday and Bournemouth, who need points to try and secure that top-half finish, look good value to pick up a draw.
Arsenal were sloppy when Crystal Palace came back to draw 2-2 at the Emirates last month, while they also drew 1-1 at home to Brentford in their previous home clash.
