EPL best bet: Brighton ML over Newcastle (+165)
Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Brighton are ending the season with a flourish, looking likely to claim a European place for next term, and the Seagulls can take advantage of a vulnerable Newcastle at St James’ Park on Saturday. Brighton have lost only 1 of their last 8 matches, winning away at Brentford, Sunderland and Burnley, while beating Liverpool and Chelsea at their AmEx Stadium. A trip to Newcastle holds no fears for Brighton in their current mood.
Newcastle have lost their last 5 games, suffering home defeats to Sunderland and Bournemouth, and the task of hosting Brighton has come at a bad time. The Toon Army could be in for a frustrating afternoon
EPL best bet: Sunderland ML over Wolves (+125)

Sunderland still have hopes of getting into European competition next season, and the Black Cats will be targeting 3 points from their trip to Wolves, who remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.
In-form Nottingham Forest thrashed Sunderland last Friday, but Wolves should provide much easier opposition. Wolves have failed to score in their last 3 games, ending a miserable campaign with a whimper. A highly motivated Sunderland can leave Molineux with maximum points.
EPL best bet: Arsenal -1.5 over Fulham (+125)
Odds courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Arsenal have the chance to go 6 points clear at the top of the Premier League by beating Fulham, but Manchester City will have 2 games in hand, so the title race is extremely tight going into the closing stretch.
Arsenal know there is no margin for error – the Gunners must beat Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday – and Mikel Arteta’s star-studded squad can be fancied to get the job done. Fulham are struggling for goals, notching just once in their last 3 games, so expect Arsenal to kick clear at the Premier League summit.
EPL best bet: Manchester United ML over Liverpool (+135)
Odds courtesy of BetMGM at the time of publishing.
Liverpool’s season has not gone to plan, and the Reds may not enjoy their trip to Old Trafford as much as usual. Recent visits to the Theatre of Dreams have been successful for Liverpool, as the fortunes of these 2 giants of English football have greatly contrasted. Manchester United have been struggling, while Liverpool have been challenging for major honors, but United are ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League going into this Sunday blockbuster.
United have beaten Man City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea this year, and the Red Devils can take another significant scalp on Sunday.
