The action in the English Premier League just keeps on coming and we have a host of matchups in midweek, including a massive clash between leaders Arsenal and reigning champions Liverpool on Thursday. Let’s break down our EPL soccer best bets for Wednesday and Thursday’s slate, with the odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing. You can also find out our expert soccer picks for all the hot EPL matchups throughout the season.
EPL Best Bet: Tottenham ML over Bournemouth (+235)
Bournemouth have to go back to the end of October for the last time they won an English Premier League game and the Cherries may not be able to celebrate that run ending after Tottenham visit the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday. The latest setback for Andoni Iraola’s team was a 3-2 defeat to leaders Arsenal on Saturday, and that means they have conceded 14 goals in their last 5 outings.
Europa League holders Spurs have been underwhelming under Thomas Frank this season, but their results away from home have been slightly better than some wretched form in their own stadium. There is a lack of forward options for the London team as Mohammed Kudus is injured and Brennan Johnson has been transferred to Crystal Palace, but at least the defense is looking firmer. Spurs have lost twice away this season and have shut out their opponents in the last 2 road trips to Palace and Brentford, so the visitors are worth backing to secure all 3 points at enticing +235 odds.

EPL Best Bet: Fulham vs Chelsea Over 3.5 goals (+195)
Fulham’s clash with Liverpool on Sunday had an amazing finish with both teams scoring a goal in injury-time and fans at Craven Cottage could be treated to another thriller in their rivalry game against Chelsea. Marco Silva’s Cottagers are unbeaten in their last 5 league games and will be confident they can make their mark against their neighbors, who sacked coach Enzo Maresca last week.
Fulham were also involved in a 5-4 home defeat against Manchester City, which shows the team is not scared of being positive against the league’s top clubs. With their opponents boosted by earning a tie with Manchester City with a late goal on Sunday and scoring twice in 3 of their last 4 matchups, there could be plenty of goals in this one.
EPL Best Bet: Wolves Win or Tie double chance over Everton (+100)
Everton have to recover from a 4-2 defeat against Brentford on Sunday and a home game against bottom-of-the-table Wolves may not be a straightforward task. The visitors have not only had an extra day of rest, but they are still buzzing after gaining their first league win of the season on Saturday, an impressive 3-0 victory over West Ham. That came after a 1-1 draw at Manchester United and Rob Edwards’s team has also performed well in recent narrow away defeats to Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa. They may not be able to avoid relegation, but confidence should be growing in the Wolves camp and they are worth backing to earn something at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Wednesday.
EPL Best Bet: Arsenal ML over Liverpool & both teams to score (+205)
Arsenal continues to keep nearest challengers Manchester City at arm’s length and faces a huge game on Thursday against Liverpool, 1 of only 2 teams to have beaten the Gunners in the EPL this season. Arsenal’s latest win was a 3-2 success at Bournemouth, and that is now just 2 shutouts in the last 9 EPL games for the leaders. Man City are the only visiting team to have earned anything at the Emirates Stadium in the league this season, but while Arsenal have won its last 7 at home, goals have been conceded in 4 of the last 5.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 8 matches, scoring at least twice in 6 of those and failing to find the net in just 3 of 20 EPL matchups. Arne Slot’s team may not have enough to stop Arsenal winning, but the Reds can at least make their mark.
