Signed as another one of the raft of young Portuguese talent at Molineux, Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto is a real livewire. Coming through the vaunted Braga youth system, he spent time in Italy at Lazio before arriving in England. After a slow start to his time in the country, though, Neto has become one of the foremost exciting attacking players in the Premier League.

Zippy and decisive on the ball, the 21-year-old shows vision, decision making, and matchday understanding far beyond what most would have expected.

What makes Pedro Neto worth watching?

For one, he has successfully played out wide, up front, and in central midfield whilst continually delivering great performances. In fact, some of his best games in the team have actually arrived from a central role. His off the ball movement, dribbling with pace, and ability to pass and finish under contest is one of the most exciting things about Neto.

His pace is one thing, but Neto makes a difference with his ability to drive on and off the ball, his ability to cut in behind defenders, and his interesting array of finishes from slotted finishes to blasted curlers.

Things to improve for Pedro Neto

Really, the only thing Neto needs to add to his game is even more goals and assists. He works hard enough going back the way for a ‘luxury’ player, arguably more than many would have expected. He gets his team involved in the game, he gets the team up the pitch, and he can take a set-piece. If Neto could double his already impressive goals and assists tally, he would be well on his way to being the best player at Wolves.

Given his age and his massive improvement under Nuno Espirito Santo, more development is an absolute certainty.

Signed from Brentford for a club record fee, Aston Villa were seen to be taking a big risk on Ollie Watkins. Despite his physical and technical quality, he was seen as a striker who might struggle to make that next step up into the Premier League. After a debut season that has gone well enough to earn an England call-up, it would be pretty safe to assume that Watkins is now well and truly part of the first-team starting line-up at Villa.

So much so that he could already be on the move in the summer.

What makes Ollie Watkins worth watching?

Most strikers who work as hard as Watkins and compete so well tend to lack goals. His work off the ball and his desire to get teammates involved often sees him derided as a workhorse who lacks finishing quality. However, this could not be any further from the truth; the striker works hard but is a threat in the air and with both feet.

He is a natural finisher who simply has many other assets to bring to the table, ensuring he offers the work rate and finishing prowess expected of an England striker.

Things to improve for Ollie Watkins

Where he could improve would be making better decisions on the break. Villa are a primarily counter attacking team, and Watkins has a habit of straying offside on the break. Several notable attacks have broken down at key moments because Watkins has been too keen to get in behind. Despite having natural pace and power, he often tends to go a little too early.

Therefore, a change in his timing of his runs would almost guarantee that Watkins could become an asset for almost any team in England. His rate of improvement is incredible, and shows no signs of slowing down.

If you were to have a must-win game on the final day of the season, you would want a Tottenham side that looks like they have been fed up since the turn of the year. Leeds know they need to win and get some favours at other grounds, so expect them to come out flying here. Spurs have endured a few tonkings on the last day of the season in recent years, too, so it is hard to say how motivated they will be.

Leeds United News

Leeds will be coming into this without their most important attacking players in Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo. Both were injured in the loss at West Ham last weekend, and will find themselves short on attacking flair. Given the do-or-die nature of the game, that is certainly going to bring a few headaches.

Tottenham Hotspur News

Tottenham are without a few players, with expected departees Hugo Lloris, Ryan Sessegnon and Eric Dier all certainly out. Cristian Romero and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg might miss out, as well, further leaving Tottenham with some selection headaches as they go into the last game of the season.

Verdict

Leeds are in a do-or-die situation and know they must win, and hope things change for the better in some of the other games. Expect them to come out flying here, and despite lacking attacking quality they should have too much for a Tottenham team that look utterly fed up with life at the moment. Whether it will be enough or not, we do not know.

Score Prediction: 1-0

With the relegation battle going down to the last weekend, Leicester City know they need to win at home to a West Ham United side that will have one eye on their upcoming European final. David Moyes is likely to rest and rotate to a fair level, while it is expected that City will look to go all-out in what is almost certain to be a final game for many of this playing squad whether they manage to stay up or not.

Leicester City News

Leicester are missing quite a lot of players, but it is the doubtful names that are causing the most worry. While it is likely that players like Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Wilfried Ndidi might all miss out, other players like Kelechi Iheanacho and Caglar Soyuncu are not going to make this game. Nor will James Justin, Jannik Vestergaard, and Danny Ward.

West Ham United News

West Ham are missing less players, though they are missing Gianluca Scamacca and it is likely that Nayed Aguerd will also miss out. Flynn Downes is a doubt, and he likely would have seen time on the pitch given West Ham will surely rotate heavily.

Verdict

This is a tough one to call as it is hard to know what West Ham team will turn up on the day. However, with so much at stake for Leicester, we expect the Foxes to show the greater desire and then hope things go their way in other matches.

Score Prediction: 2-0

A big Midlands derby, and one that at the start of the season might have been pegged as a potential European decider. It technically still is, but only for one of the teams. Whilst Wolves have spent much of the year chopping and changing key club positions and fighting relegation, Villa have only went from strength to strength under Unai Emery. Can they continue that great form in the Black Country?

Wolverhampton Wanderers News

Wolves are going to be without a few players. One player who is likely out is Nelson Semedo, joining Sasa Kalajdzic and Chiquinho on the injury list. Boubacar Traore is also likely to miss out, though he has rarely played for the Midlands club this year.

Aston Villa News

Aston Villa are without a few players, too, and will be without Leon Bailey, Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash, and Philippe Coutinho. That is a pretty significant number of players to be without, and it could be pretty impactful as the game progresses.

Emery is missing too many players to make major changes, though, so expect a similar or identical line-up to the one which lost at Old Trafford.

Verdict

A tough one to call this, with Wolves in need of a reaction after a 6-0 destruction against Brighton and Hove Albion. Villa have seen rivals for European spaces win, too, and they need to get something back on the board after losing while Liverpool won. Expect a tough encounter here, but with Villa a long shot for UEFA Champions League qualification it might actually be Wolves who have more to prove.

Score Prediction: 2-1
