The Premier League season continues this weekend, and headlining Saturday’s action will be Liverpool looking to move into the Champions League places when they host relegation-threatened West Ham, followed by Manchester City looking for their 4th straight league win. Let’s get right into Saturday’s best EPL bets, while you can find more of our expert soccer picks throughout the season.
EPL Best Bet: Bournemouth ML over Sunderland (-125)

Bournemouth have clicked into gear since the turn of the year, as they head into Saturday’s visit of Sunderland looking to extend their unbeaten run in the league to 8 matches. The Cherries have won 4 of their last 7 outings, while they have also picked up some impressive results in their last three fixtures at the Vitality Stadium, beating Tottenham and Liverpool 3-2 before drawing 1-1 with Aston Villa.
Visitors Sunderland have been a force to be reckoned with at home, where they have collected 26 points, but their away form is a concern. They have lost 3 in a row in the league and last tasted success on their top-flight travels in October.

EPL Best Bet: Newcastle ML over Everton (-142)
Odds courtesy of bet365 at the time of publishing.
Newcastle made it 4 wins in their last 5 matches in all competitions when easing past Qarabag 3-2 on Tyneside in the second leg of the Champions League playoff round, progressing to the last-16 stage 9-3 on aggregate. The Magpies need to start picking up regular victories in the league if they want to mount a top-4 finish, and they can start with a win over visiting Everton – who have lost their last 2 games against Bournemouth and Manchester United.
The Toffees have won just 1 of their last 5 games, and they figure to struggle to get a positive result at St. James’ Park, a stadium in which they have lost in 3 of their last 5 trips.

EPL Best Bet: Liverpool -1.5 over West Ham (+105)
Odds courtesy of DraftKings at the time of publishing.
Liverpool were edgy in last weekend’s 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest, but they extended their winning streak to 3 matches, and they should have enough quality to dispatch relegation-threatened West Ham at Anfield. The Reds have won 3 of their last 4 games on Merseyside, recording thumping wins over Qarabag (6-0), Newcastle (4-1) and Brighton (3-0), while they have won the last 10 meetings against the Hammers at Anfield.
West Ham’s survival charge has been checked with draws in their last two matches, and their leaky defense, which has conceded 49 goals, will likely struggle to stop an attack-minded Liverpool team.

EPL Best Bet: Brentford ML over Burnley (-135)
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Burnley have shown some fight over recent weeks, but they are still 8 points from safety and a 17th league loss of the campaign could be dished out by in-form Brentford. The Bees have managed to replicate their superb home form on their travels over the last couple of months, recording 6 wins from their last 7 away fixtures in all competitions.
Keith Andrews’ side have come away with all 3 points at Aston Villa and Newcastle during this run, and anywhere close to that kind of level should see them overwhelm Burnley, who have not won at Turf Moor in their last 9 league assignments.
