By contrast, Palace followed up their FA Cup final victory over Man City &#8212; their first-ever major trophy &#8212; by beating Wolves 4-2.

Had the promoted three not been so poor, they genuinely could have been in relegation trouble. They host an Aston Villa side needing a win to secure another season in the Champions League and you really can picture Unai Emery&#8217;s side &#8212; who haven&#8217;t conceded in three &#8212; coming to Old Trafford on a mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prediction: Man Utd 0-2 Aston Villa (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/boylesports?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8\/1 with BoyleSports<\/a><\/strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-newcastle-vs-everton\">Newcastle vs Everton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sunday 16th May, 4pm<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preview: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/newcastle-vs-everton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Newcastle vs Everton&nbsp;prediction, stats, tips &amp; team news<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcastle are another side needing a result to seal Champions League qualification, sitting fourth but only a point ahead of Forest in seventh.
