As the final gameweek of the Premier League in 2023/24 approaches, Burnley faces Nottingham Forest in a crucial match.

While Burnley is already relegated, Nottingham Forest still has a slim chance of securing their Premier League status.

Match Preview

Burnley, already relegated, will take on Nottingham Forest, who have a slim chance of facing the same fate.

Forest sits three points ahead of Luton Town in 18th place with a significantly better goal difference, making a dramatic relegation unlikely.

Burnley’s relegation was confirmed last weekend after their 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Clarets have had a tough season, managing only five wins.

Despite their struggles, they’ll be looking to end on a high note, possibly moving above Luton Town and closing the gap on Forest if they secure a victory.

Nottingham Forest isn’t in stellar form either, having lost 3-2 to Chelsea in their last match.

However, their 3-1 win over Sheffield United prior to that all but ensured their safety, barring a highly improbable goal difference swing.

Forest has conceded 66 goals this season, with only teams in the bottom three and West Ham United allowing more.

Head-to-Head:

Earlier this season, Burnley and Forest drew 1-1 at the County Ground.

Zeki Amdouni scored for Burnley, but Callum Hudson-Odoi’s spectacular goal leveled the score.

Team News & Updates:

Burnley will likely field a full-strength squad, aiming to give their fans something to cheer about.

Forest will also come prepared, knowing that a point or even a narrow loss will see them safe.

Prediction & Analysis:

For the final match, we predict Burnley will aim for a farewell win at Turf Moor, with over 2.5 goals scored. Forest, while likely safe, will face a Burnley side eager to end their Premier League stint with a victory.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker received support from his teammate Chris Jones and former wide receiver Cole Beasley amid drama over his commencement speech.

Butker came under fire for his address to Benedictine College graduates over the weekend, which appeared to be rooted in his Christian values. Jones and Beasley were two of the few players in the league or related to the NFL to express support.

“I love you @buttkicker7! My brotha,” Jones wrote on X in response to a petition going around to urge the Chiefs to release the kicker.

When an X user wondered whether Jones would delete the post, the defensive tackle said, “Negative.”

Beasley, who retired from the NFL last season after a short stint with the New York Giants, wrote he was “with (Butker).”

The Super Bowl champion kicker also appeared to get some support from Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt. She appeared on “Fox & Friends” on Friday and was asked about his remarks.

“Well, I can only speak from my own experience, which is I’ve had the most incredible mom who had the ability to stay home and be with us as kids growing up. And I understand that there are many women out there who can’t make that decision. But for me and my life, I know it was really formative and in shaping me and my siblings into who we are,” she said.

When asked whether she understood where Butker was coming from, she agreed.

While the Premier League title race might be settled, there’s still plenty to play for as teams vie for a top 10 finish. One such clash is set between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa at Selhurst Park on May 19th.

Match Preview

Crystal Palace head into the weekend sitting in 12th place with 46 points. Meanwhile, Aston Villa are in 4th place with 68 points, looking to secure a strong finish.

The Eagles come into this match buoyed by a solid 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

They took the lead in the 26th minute and quickly doubled it just two minutes later.

Although Wolves managed to pull one back in the 66th minute, Palace sealed the win with a third goal in the 73rd minute.

This win means Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches, with victories over Newcastle, Manchester United,West Ham, and Liverpool, along with a draw against Fulham.

Palace have been formidable at home, remaining unbeaten in five of their last six matches across all competitions.

They’ve won their last three home Premier League games and have seen over 2.5 goals in seven of their last eight home league fixtures.

Aston Villa travel to Selhurst Park following a dramatic 3-3 draw with Liverpool.

After conceding in the 2nd minute, Villa equalized 10 minutes later.

Liverpool regained the lead before halftime and extended it in the second half, but Villa fought back, scoring twice in the final five minutes to snatch a point.

Despite this spirited performance, Villa have not won any of their last five matches, with defeats to Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League and a 1-0 loss to Brighton in the Premier League.

However, Aston Villa have been resilient on the road, going unbeaten in six of their last eight away league matches. Both teams have scored in four of their last six away games.

Team News & Updates:

Palace will be without the suspended Naouirou Ahamada and have several players in the treatment room, including Jefferson Lerma, Matheus França, Rob Holding, Sam Johnstone, and Nathan Ferguson.

Villa will miss injured players Nicolò Zaniolo, Jacob Ramsey, and Tyrone Mings. Additionally, there are fitness doubts over Alex Moreno, Matty Cash, and Morgan Rogers.

Prediction

With both teams likely satisfied with their season endings, we can expect an open and entertaining game.

Given Aston Villa’s strong overall performance this season, we predict they will take maximum points, but not without a fight from Crystal Palace.

Expect both teams to score in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

“If somebody keeps punching you, you’ve got to be able to respond to it,” Sides said, via Athlon Sports. “You’ve gotta give some of that back. And that’s where we are. We’ve got to get to another level of mental toughness.

“We just have to get better. More mentally tough.”

Frustrations grew for the Fever as the team committed 13 turnovers. Fever forward Aliyah Boston and Liberty star Jonquel Jones battled underneath the basket all game long. Indiana also missed crucial shots in the third quarter when the team was getting back into the game.

In the fourth quarter, after Indiana cut the deficit to just 11 points, the Liberty went on a 13-2 run to start the frame and never looked back.

Indiana shot 36.7% from the floor, including 26.3% from 3-point range.

Caitlin Clark had nine points, seven rebounds, six assists and three turnovers. She didn’t speak to reporters after the game. 

“I have great perspective of everything, and I think the same is true of my college career,” she said before the game. “There were some moments that were absolutely amazing, and there were some moments where I was not happy with how I played and how I performed and how my team performed. But that’s just life. That’s just basketball.”

As the Bundesliga season reaches its climax, all eyes are on Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg as they gear up for a thrilling showdown.

Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak hangs on the edge against Augsburg’s determination to upset the odds.

Match Preview

Leverkusen have had an extraordinary campaign, arguably one of the best in European football history, and definitely the finest in the German top flight.

Their performance has been so outstanding that it draws comparisons to Leicester City’s miraculous Premier League triumph in 2015/16.

This season, Leverkusen have remained unbeaten in all competitions, recently securing a dramatic 2-2 draw against Roma after trailing 2-0, pushing their unbeaten streak to an impressive milestone.

They are on the verge of becoming the first team in European top flight history to surpass 50 games unbeaten.

Leverkusen clinched their first-ever Bundesliga title with a record of 27 wins and six draws in 33 games.

They have been dominant, scoring 87 goals—second only to Bayern Munich’s 92.

Defensively, they have been solid too, with only Inter Milan and Real Madrid boasting better records than their 23 goals conceded.

Xabi Alonso’s team needs to avoid defeat against Augsburg on the final day to stay unbeaten in the league.

Additionally, they are set to face Atalanta in the Europa League final and Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal final.

Winning these matches would see them achieve the unprecedented feat of going unbeaten across all three competitions, extending their streak to 52 games.

Considering Kaiserslautern’s lowly position in the 2. Bundesliga, Leverkusen are expected to win the DFB-Pokal comfortably.

Augsburg have little at stake in this match.

They are safe from relegation and out of contention for European spots, sitting four points behind with just three left to play for.

Their season has been underwhelming, managing only 10 wins in the Bundesliga.

Currently, they are on a worrying winless run, having suffered heavy defeats to Borussia Dortmund (5-1), Werder Bremen (3-0), and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1).

Prediction & Analysis:

In what promises to be a captivating duel, Leverkusen is favored to secure another win with over 2.5 goals expected. Augsburg faces an uphill battle against the relentless Leverkusen attack.

ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington captured video showing the moment Scottie Scheffler was arrested as he tried to head for Valhalla Golf Course for the second round of the PGA Championship.

The video showed Scheffler in handcuffs and being led to a police vehicle.

ESPN reported that Scheffler drove past a police officer in his SUV with markings on the door indicating that it was a PGA Championship vehicle. The officer screamed at him to stop and then attached himself to the car until Scheffler stopped his vehicle about 10 yards later. Darlington characterized it as a “misunderstanding with traffic flow” as authorities were investigating a traffic fatality earlier in the morning.

“Scheffler was then walked over to the police car, placed in the back, in handcuffs, very stunned about what was happening, looked toward me as he was in those handcuffs and said, ‘Please help me,’” Darlington said on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.” “He very clearly did not know what was happening in the situation. It moved very quickly, very rapidly, very aggressively.”

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER BOOKED INTO KENTUCKY JAIL BEFORE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER INCIDENT

An officer told Darlington, “Right now, he’s going to jail.”

“He’s going to jail, and there ain’t nothing you can do about it,” the officer added.

Scheffler was booked into the Louisville Department of Corrections later Friday. He was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer (a felony), criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic.
