English Premier League (EPL) action resumes this weekend, with all 20 teams set to take the pitch over the next three days. Arsenal, despite posting back-to-back draws, remains atop the table with a seven-point advantage over both Manchester City and Aston Villa. The London-based club is now a -500 favorite to win the Premier League title.

Premier League Matchday 23 Preview & Best Bets (2026)
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
AFC Bournemouth (+275) vs. Liverpool (-115), DRAW (+290) | O/U 3.5 (+140/-175)
Liverpool (10-6-6, 36 points) has logged four consecutive draws in the Premier League, and they enter this weekend's contest with coin flip odds to take care of 15th-place AFC Bournemouth (6-9-7, 27 points). Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET from Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth.
The reigning champions received a nice boost in their Champions League game on Wednesday, with the returning Mohamed Salah to the lineup. The Egyptian striker didn't find the back of the net, but Liverpool did notch a 3-0 road win over Marseille. In the 12 matches sans Salah, the Reds went a respectable 6-6-0 across all competitions. With Salah back in action, I think we're getting a pretty favorable price on the visitors in this contest. I'll ride with Liverpool on the Moneyline.
AFC Bournemouth's biggest issue has been its defense, which comes into the game ranked 18th in goals allowed (41). That's not a great formula when welcoming in a high-powered Liverpool side averaging 1.5 goals per match. Additionally, the Cherries haven't been in top-tier form, notching just one victory in their last 14 tries (1-7-6) in all tournaments. Let's take Liverpool to keep trending upward with Salah back on the roster.
Bet: Liverpool Moneyline (-115)
Arsenal (-180) vs. Manchester United (+500), DRAW (+320) | O/U 2.5 (-145/+115)
The league frontrunners are coming off a solid 3-1 road victory over Inter Milan in their midweek Champions League clash. Arsenal (15-5-2, 50 points) will try to bring the elite form home on Sunday when they host fifth-place Manchester United (9-8-5, 35 points). Manchester United is 1-0-0 since making the coaching change to Michael Carrick a couple of weeks back. This match is slated for Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET from Emirates Stadium in London.
Manchester United picked up a huge 2-0 home victory over Manchester City to get the Carrick Era underway. However, traveling to Emirates Stadium to take on arguably the best team in Europe will be a different beast. I'll lay the one goal and back the Gunners to emerge at home.
Mikel Arteta's men have been untouchable at home this season, going 9-2-0 with a +21 goal differential (26:5). They boast the league's best defense, having conceded only 14 goals in 22 matches played. Their clean sheet rate of 50% is first as well. Manchester United is 18th in the Premier League at 13.6%. Arsenal has a huge defensive edge here. I think they at least pull out a 1-0 win, which would give us a push, but with Manchester United's questionable defense, the hosts should stretch it out to 2-0 or 3-0.
Bet: Arsenal -1 (-115)
Everton (+150) vs. Leeds United (+195), DRAW (+220) | O/U 2.5 (+120/-150)
Matchday 23 concludes on Monday with a fun game between 10th-place Everton (9-5-8, 32 points) and 16th-place Leeds United(6-7-9, 25 points). The visitors sit comfortably above the relegation line with an eight-point cushion. The matchday finale kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET from Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.
Everton has looked sharp defensively this season. They enter the weekend ranked fifth in goals allowed (25) and second in clean sheet rate (40.9%). The Toffees blanked Aston Villa on the road in a 1-0 victory last time out, and they've now allowed one or fewer goals in six of their last seven games in all leagues.
The big metric that stands out to me in this match is that Leeds has gone just 1-3-7 on the road this year. Their -13 road goal differential (11:24) is the second-worst, where they're just above Burnley's mark of -14. This is a very penetrable defense, so even though Everton isn't elite offensively, they should manage to outpace the visitors at home. Let's back Everton with the plus-money payout.
Bet: Everton Moneyline (+150)
