Premier League action returns after a 3-week hiatus due to the international break and FA Cup last weekend, and the home stretch is in sight as we enter EPL Week 32. Arsenal are looking to stay on track for their first Premier League title in 22 years, while North London neighbors Tottenham are simply battling to remain in the league.

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: Brentford ML over Everton (+115)

Odds courtesy of bet365 at the time of publishing.

Brentford and Everton are in the battle for a place in Europe next season, and the west Londoners could gain an advantage on their continental rivals on Saturday. 

The Bees have enjoyed an excellent season, which has seen them beat Aston Villa, Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool, and the Bees were good enough to take a point off Premier League leaders Arsenal earlier in the campaign. Furthermore, Keith Andrews’ men were 4-2 winners against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium  in January; it’s difficult to see how the Toffees can turn the tables. 

The Bees have lost only 3 of 16 games at their west London hive this term, and it’s just 1 defeat in 90 minutes all told for Brentford.

EPL best bet: Fulham ML over Liverpool (+390)

Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday night, and while that Paris scoreline doesn’t appear too disastrous, the performance level of the Reds gives far greater cause for concern. 

Arne Slot is under maximum pressure following a disappointing title defense, and Liverpool aren’t operating anything like a top-5 side. The Merseyside men have won only 2 of their last 8 matches, and that poor run includes a top-flight defeat to Premier League bottom club Wolves. 

Fulham have been a little hit-and-miss this season, but the Cottagers have won 4 of their last 7 matches. They have beaten Brentford, Tottenham, Sunderland and Brighton this term, and Marco Silva’s men look to have a shot at an upset in this spot.

EPL best bet: Tottenham ML over Sunderland (+170)

Odds courtesy of bet365 Sportsbook at the time of publishing.

Tottenham are in major relegation danger, and Spurs have turned to former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi in a bid to avoid the drop. It’s certainly possible that the Italian will struggle to bring any improvement in north London, but if there is to be an uplift, this could be the opportunity to catch Tottenham 

Sunderland were on a high when beating rivals Newcastle 2-1 last time out, but there has been some regression from Regis le Bris’ men. The Black Cats have lost 3 home games on the bounce, and those defeats to Liverpool, Fulham and Brighton should give Tottenham hopes of a positive result. 

Spurs have beaten Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this season, highlighting the upside of this side. The Lilywhites may get it together here.
