Premier League betting picks & top odds | EPL Matchweek 34

Liverpool could clinch the Premier League title when they take on Tottenham in Matchweek 34 of the 2024-25 EPL campaign. Here are our top soccer betting tips for this week’s English top-flight action.

Manchester City v Aston Villa

Tuesday, April 22 – 8pm BST – Etihad Stadium

Fifth-placed Manchester City will face a stern test against Aston Villa, who are two places behind them. The hosts are desperate for Champions League qualification, so back them to secure a marginal win against a Villa side on a five-game win streak.

Arsenal v Crystal Palace

Wednesday, April 23 – 8pm BST – Emirates Stadium

With the Premier League title already out of reach, second-placed Arsenal will look to extend their seven-game unbeaten run against Crystal Palace, who are 10 places below them. Gabriel Martinelli netted his 50th goal for the Gunners on Sunday, and top online bookies are paying +225 for the Brazilian forward to score for the third consecutive game.

Chelsea v Everton

Saturday, April 26 – 12:30pm BST – Stamford Bridge

Chelsea, in sixth, will continue their push for Champions League football against Everton, who are in the bottom half of the table. Unbeaten in their last five meetings at the Bridge, with three wins and two defeats, back the Blues to uphold the trend.

Brighton & Hove Albion v West Ham United

Saturday, April 26 – 3pm BST – Amex Stadium

Brighton are 10th on the table with 48 points, while West Ham are seven places lower with 12 fewer points. Both winless in their last five games, these struggling sides look poised to share the points for the third consecutive time.

Newcastle United v Ipswich Town

Saturday, April 26 – 3pm BST – St James’ Park

Thrashed 4-1 by Aston Villa in their last outing, fourth-placed Newcastle United will seek to bounce back against relegation-threatened Ipswich, who have only won four games this season. Harvey Barnes has scored four goals in his last four games, and leading soccer betting sites are paying +160 for the Magpies’ forward to extend his streak.

Southampton v Fulham

Saturday, April 26 – 3pm BST – St Mary’s Stadium

Following back-to-back defeats against Bournemouth and Chelsea, ninth-placed Fulham will be keen to return to winning ways against bottom-placed Southampton, who are on a nine-game winless run. Unbeaten in their last three meetings, with two wins and a draw, expect the visitors to claim all three points.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leicester City

Saturday, April 26 – 3pm BST – Molineux Stadium

Wolves, sitting 15th, will fancy their chances against Leicester City, who were relegated last Sunday following their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool. Runaway winners in their last meeting, back the hosts to extend their five-game win streak against the dispirited Foxes.

Bournemouth v Manchester United

Sunday, April 27 – 2pm BST – Vitality Stadium

After back-to-back defeats against Newcastle and Wolves, 14th-placed Manchester United will have their work cut out against Bournemouth, who are six places above them. Given that United are fully focused on the Europa League, with nothing to play for in the EPL, the in-form Cherries have a great chance of defeating Ruben Amorim’s men for the second time this season.

Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday, April 27 – 4:30pm BST – Anfield

Liverpool will be eager to secure a record-equalling 20th league title when they take on 16th-placed Tottenham, who are on a two-game losing streak. Mohamed Salah has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s title run with 27 Premier League goals, and online bookmakers are offering tempting odds for the Egyptian to strike first in this crucial encounter.

Nottingham Forest v Brentford

Thursday, May 1 – 7:30pm BST – The City Ground

Third-placed Nottingham Forest will back themselves against Brentford, who are eight places below them. Forest are on the cusp of securing a top-four finish, so back them to pick up all three points on home soil.
