The Premier League season continues this weekend as leaders Arsenal host Everton on Saturday, looking to cement pole position ahead of Manchester City, who make the trip to London Stadium to take on West Ham. Let’s get into our EPL soccer best bets for this weekend’s matches, while you can find more of our expert soccer picks for all the hot EPL matchups throughout the season.
EPL best bet: Chelsea ML over Newcastle (-125)
Odds courtesy of bet365 at the time of publishing.
There is no disgrace in losing away to Paris St-Germain in the Champions League. PSG won that competition last season and are a match for anyone, so Chelsea should be able to quickly shrug off the disappointment of their Wednesday-night setback in Paris.
Expect the Blues to get back to winning ways at home to Newcastle on Saturday evening. Chelsea players are enjoying life under relatively new manager Liam Rosenior, and they have scored 10 goals in their last 3 matches – putting 4 past both Aston Villa and Wrexham.
Newcastle have lost 3 of their last 6 games, despite 5 of them being at home, and the Magpies have lost half of their league away games this season, winning just 3.
EPL best bet: Brighton ML over Sunderland (+125)
Odds courtesy of bet365 at the time of publishing.
Sunderland’s magical start to the season seems like a distant memory, as the Black Cats are looking more vulnerable as the campaign wears on. They have lost 4 of their last 7 matches in all competitions and were embarrassingly dumped out of the FA Cup by Port Vale last Sunday.
Sunderland have failed to score more than 1 goal in any of their last 7 matches, and Brighton appear well equipped to take advantage of the faltering Mackems. Brighton have won 2 of their last 3 games, including an away success at Brentford.

EPL best bet: Arsenal -1.5 over Everton (+112)
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Arsenal go into this weekend’s set of Premier League fixtures with a 7-point advantage at the top of the table, but Manchester City have a game in hand. The Gunners will be fully aware of how important it is to win home games against weak opposition if they are to end their long wait for another title, and Mikel Arteta’s side seem unlikely to slip up against the Toffeemen.
Arsenal have bounced back well from losing to Manchester United at the Emirates at the end of January, winning their next 5 matches at home, while defeating London rivals Chelsea the last time they played in front of their fans. The Gunners are vastly superior to Everton and can prove it on Saturday.

EPL Best Bet: Liverpool -1.5 over Tottenham (-118)
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
A team to trust in the Sunday fixtures is Liverpool, who will expect to rub salt into the wounds of struggling Tottenham. Most Spurs fans are wearing an exasperated expression, with elimination from the Champions League seemingly imminent, leaving them with only Premier League survival to focus upon.
Tottenham are only 1 point outside of the relegation zone. They have lost their last 6 games in all competitions, conceding 18 goals in the process.
