We're fresh off an exciting UEFA Champions League (UCL) midweek slate, but if we're being honest, things did not go well for the competing English teams. The six English teams that are gunning for a UCL title went a combined 0-2-4 in their opening legs of the Round of 16 action.
Teams return home to their domestic assignments this weekend. Arsenal still holds a comfortable seven-point lead atop the table, and the Gunners are now -500 favorites to win the league. I've got you covered from a betting angle for Matchday 30 in the English Premier League. Here are my top English Premier League Matchday 30 picks & predictions for this weekend.

Premier League Matchday 30 Preview & Best Bets (2026)
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
West Ham United (+360) vs. Manchester City (-145), DRAW (+330) | O/U 3.5 (+135/-170)
Manchester City (18-6-5, 60 points) has been rolling in the Premier League, going an unbeaten 5-2-0 in their last seven league games. Up next, the Citizens head to London to take on a West Ham United (7-7-15, 28 points) side that's in 18th place. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday at 4:00 p.m. ET from London Stadium in London.
I'm laying a goal and riding with Manchester City on Saturday afternoon. They should emerge victorious, and I think it's likely that they will stretch out a multi-goal win against relegation-bound West Ham United. Pep Guardiola's squad has absolutely dominated this head-to-head series in recent years, winning the last seven meetings. All seven wins have come by two or more goals, including their 3-0 home win over the Irons in December 2025.
Manchester City brings in the league's most potent offense, ranking first in scoring (59 goals) and second in shots on target (151). They've also been elite defensively, conceding only 27 goals in 29 matches (second). West Ham United is 19th in goals allowed (54) and shots on target against (152). It should be an offensive barrage from Manchester City, and I expect them to convert a couple of chances into goals.
Bet: Manchester City -1 (+110)
Liverpool (-310) vs. Tottenham Hotspur (+700), DRAW (+475) | O/U 3.5 (+110/-140)
Tottenham Hotspur (7-8-14, 29 points) has been struggling mightily, dropping to 16th place. They only have a one-point margin above 18th-place West Ham United. When factoring in the betting odds, where the Lilywhites are +700 to win at Anfield this weekend, things aren't looking great for the London-based club. Meanwhile, Liverpool (14-6-9, 48 points) is in sixth place, and a coveted top-four spot in the table is still within reach. This marquee matchup is slated for Sunday at 12:30 p.m. ET from Anfield in Liverpool.
Liverpool has owned Tottenham Hotspur since 2018. The teams have played 18 times in the eight years, with the Reds going 14-2-2 during the sample size. They haven't lost to Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield since 2011.
With that said, I am locking in a same-game parlay (SGP) with Liverpool to win and for the game to go over 2.5 goals. Tottenham Hotspur’s defense has been horrendous recently, conceding two or more goals in seven consecutive matches in all competitions. Specifically in the Premier League, the Lilywhites have dropped to 16th in goals allowed (46) and shots on target against (120). This feels like a game with a 2-1 floor, but I won't be surprised if Liverpool lays it on the visitors and wins 3-1 or 4-1.
Bet: Liverpool Moneyline & Over 2.5 Goals Same-Game Parlay (-150)
Brentford (-185) vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers (+475), DRAW (+330) | O/U 2.5 (-145/+110)
The matchday wraps up with a standalone game on Monday, which pits seventh-place Brentford (13-5-11, 44 points) against last-place Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-7-20, 16 points). It's worth noting that the visitors have won two straight Premier League matches. Kick-off is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET from Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford.
Wolverhampton may be enjoying this two-game winning streak, but I'm willing to wager that Brentford stops them in their tracks this weekend. Not only will the streak stop, but I expect the Bees to handle them convincingly. Wolverhampton has been atrocious on the road this season, going 0-4-10 with a -16 goal differential (5:21). That's not a typo; they've only scored five goals in 14 away matches this term.
Meanwhile, Brentford is still competing for a top spot in the table. They're only seven points out of a top-four position, so three points over the lowly Wolves would go a long way for them in the points race. Brentford's sixth in scoring (44 goals) this year, and they'll take on a Wolves side ranked 18th in goals allowed (52) and shots on target allowed (137). The hosts are primed for a big offensive performance, which should lead to a multi-goal win.
Bet: Brentford -1 (-120)
