There are some cracking top-flight matches this weekend as the Premier League reaches Matchday 23. The action is highlighted by Manchester United’s trip to title-chasing Arsenal on Sunday, while Nottingham Forest looks to stay in front of the relegation race in their match against Brentford. We have 3 best-bet selections across the weekend in EPL, while you can find more of our expert soccer picks for all the hot EPL matchups throughout the season.
EPL Best Bet: Bournemouth ML over Liverpool (+280)
Liverpool won 4-2 against Bournemouth at Anfield on the opening weekend of the season, but looking back, that contest rang plenty of alarm bells for the Reds. Arne Slot’s men were wide-open defensively in that match, and the Merseysiders were mighty fortunate to pick up 3 points.
The champions have now failed to win any of their last 4 Premier League matches, and that run includes stalemates against Leeds and Burnley. Alexander Isak’s injury and Mohamed Salah’s poor form has Liverpool scrambling around for goals, as the Reds have hit the net only 3 times in their last 4 league games.
The south coast has been raided once again with Antoine Semenyo departing for Manchester City, but Bournemouth has lost just 2 of 11 Premier League games at the Vitality, and the Cherries remain good enough to beat Liverpool on Saturday.

EPL Best Bet: Crystal Palace ML over Chelsea (+260)
Chelsea rates as the worst value of any Premier League team this weekend, as the west Londoners are set to struggle at Selhurst Park. The Blues labored to a 1-0 victory over Pafos in the Champions League on Wednesday night, which followed a mighty fortunate 2-0 success against Brentford last weekend. Liam Rosenior has plenty to prove in the Chelsea dugout, as do forwards Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
Crystal Palace has been hit hard by injuries this season, and there is unrest with manager Oliver Glasner leaving at the end of the campaign. However, the Eagles have lost only 3 of their 11 Premier League games at their south London nest, and they can resist the threat of Chelsea.

EPL Best Bet: Brentford ML over Nottingham Forest (-105)
Brentford rates as the best favorite on the Premier League card when Nottingham Forest come to London on Sunday. Manchester City is the only team to have beaten the Bees at their west London hive this season, as Keith Andrews is steering an impressive and progressive roster.
Brentford was beaten 2-0 at Chelsea last time out, but the Bees were the better side in that contest and were unfortunate to not take at least a point. Meanwhile, Forest has won only 3 of their 11 away Premier League games, which doesn’t bode well for them after Sean Dyche’s men had a tough defeat in Braga on Thursday night.
