FIRST’s take: Premier League tips today - match day 36

Last weekend, there was a distinct end-of-season and lack-of-motivation feel to much of the Premier League football played, and as there’s not a great deal to play for, we probably shouldn’t expect that to change over the next few weeks. 

Fortunately, there are a few meaningful fixtures to be played on match day 36, when Bournemouth and Aston Villa will clash at Vitality Stadium, both teams will be digging deep to try and secure European football for next season.
