Kweku: Either team in extra time 5/1

“And Palace are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions and win two and signs three.

Will: Less than 2.5 goals 11/10
“I went for less than 2.5 goals, 11-10. Now I know that that is a pretty fashionable, boring kind of bet, because it is as if you are almost gambling at the game that is a bit dry and a bit, you know, not so exciting because there are not many goals.
“The statistics simply say that City has not given any goal in their last 342 minutes of football.
How can Glasner Palace make to compete in V Man City in FA Cup final?
“That is five hours and 42 minutes. And Crystal Palace has included 11 clean sheets in all competitions in 2025, which is most of each Premier League side since the turn of the year.”
Sam: Kevin De Bruyne to score or help – Evens
“This will probably be his last FA Cup final ever, especially with Manchester City Anyway. He has also been involved in four goals in his previous three FA Cup finals.
“He scored one, he helped three. He is an absolute big game player. And yes, while he comes at the end of his peak, this can be a big swans for him. And I just see him still have such an impact.”
Arsenal vs Newcastle – Sunday, 4.30 p.m.
Kweku: Newcastle to win 12/5
“I went for a Newcastle victory in this, fairly simple, 12-5. I love those opportunities for that. And the statistics support it too.
“Newcastle has already confronted Arsenal three times this season and has won all three of those matches, and defeated them 1-0 in the Premier League and 2-0 in both legs of them Competition Semi -final.
“No team has once defeated Arsenal four times in a season. I think Newcastle has a big chance to do it. And they have won five of their four games and they have lost eight games against Arsenal in all competitions.
“The other three of those games, they pulled one, two lost. And that is just as many victories that they had against Arsenal in their previous 52. Also on the Arsenal side of things, I think the wheels have lost some weight, the emirates are not so much a fort as before.
“They are actually Winless in the last four games at home in all competitions, draw two and two of them lose.
“So I think Newcastle is full of confidence. They are in great shape, perhaps the most in form in the country. And I think they go to the Emirates and do the job.”
Will: Gabriel Martinelli 2+ shots on Doel 13/5
“I believe that Gabriel Martinelli Is not nearly near the level that Arsenal wants to be.
“I personally think that the amount of opportunities that Martinelli misses are absolute dead sitters is just too much.
“Martinelli scored two goals in his last four Premier League matches, he had six shots goal In his last five Premier League matches.
“I don’t mind this bet because it always comes in good positions and she directly to the keeper, the Sitters, and never seems to do. But it is clearly scored with Liverpool Last weekend.
“Arsenal did a bit of a switch during the game, played him in advance and Matt convinced me that he will probably play as central peak This weekend.
“Merino suspended. Trossard, I think a 50-50 chance that he is coming back.”
Sam: Fabian Schar 2+ errors 7/4, Myles Lewis-skelly to pollute 2+ times
“I absolutely love player errors. Fabian Schar to commit two or more mistakes, seven to four. He has dedicated nine errors in his last six games.
“Looking at who he probably encounters, what the big one is for me, Miles Lewis-Skelly on that left side, is happy to get ahead.
“He has been one of the radiant lights of the Arsenal season, isn’t it? But he has been polluted at least twice in seven of his last nine league matches. In fact, only James Madison is on average more errors, one per 90 in the Premier League this season.
“So I see him potentially causing newcastle problems along that right side. And when he comes up high enough, I see him come across Fabian Schar.”
The Boylessports Lockinge Stakes, Newbury, Saturday 2.45 pm
Sam: Dancing Gemini 11/4
“Enormous race On Saturday in Newbury. It is the group that locks stakes at 2.35. Looking at the market, Rosalien is a 6-4 favorite for trainer Richard Hannan, who has a great start to the flat season so far.
“Had a double in York earlier this week. And to be honest, the top three of the market looks pretty solid for this one. As I said, Rosalien, 6-4 favorite. Twin Is there one that many people like, including myself at 11-4.
“Then you have people like a remarkable speech at 4-1. Tanfana, 11-2. Fallen Angel, 16-1. Bar that, you look 20-1 or bigger.”
IPL
Sam: Virat Kohli Top Batsman
‘I will have to continue that theme of Virat Kohli Because it was clearly a big week for him. He has announced his retirement Test Cricket. He is still going to play T20 IPL and of course also one day also internationally. Yes.
“His team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru plays The Kolkata Night Riders on Saturday. Challengers, the favorites are 8-11.
“They definitely have a storm season so far, this IPL, second in the table right now and look good.
“The upset, Kolkata to win, currently 11-10.
“But looking at Kohli and sticking to the theme to support him and hopefully to get a little more winners on him, he is the 11-4 favorite to be the best Batsman in this game.
“We have also encouraged the opportunities to have two sixes, two plus sixes, I have to say, two plus four and to take a catch. That’s 10-1.”
