The Premier League continues on Saturday and champions Liverpool face a really tricky road trip to Leicester, just a few hours before Manchester City, who are currently top of the standings and favorites to win the title, take on Tottenham.
By Saturday night, it’s possible that Liverpool could be 13 points behind Manchester City and surely then it would be game over for Jurgen Klopp’s champs. But would you bet on it?
To enhance your excitement for Saturday’s Premier League slate, we’ve put together a three-game parlay. Make sure you check out all of our Premier League soccer predictions and remember to gamble responsibly. A parlay of three EPL predictions can land a big winning ticket, paying odds of +1163 with DraftKings Sportsbook — more than 11/1.
Liverpool to beat Leicester – Money Line (+108), 7:30 a.m ET
Liverpool has not lost three straight in the Premier League for seven years – and I don’t expect that streak to come to an end this weekend.
The champions, who are still missing key injured defenders like Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip, are in trouble in the league after the shock of losing 1-0 at home to Brighton and 4-1 to Manchester City.
And Leicester, who are above Liverpool in the table, are playing well under their ex-Liverpool head coach Brendan Rodgers.
But Liverpool has a habit of producing big results when their backs are against the wall. They did it at Tottenham last month and they can do it again at the King Power Stadium — Leicester’s home.
Burnley to beat Crystal Palace – Money Line (+230), 10 a.m ET
Burnley’s first win of this Premier League season came against Crystal Palace – a 1-0 win after they had failed to win any of their first eight games – and they can do the double over the London club.
If you’ve got a big playmaker in the Premier League, you’ve got a massive advantage. Palace has one in Wilfried Zaha, one of the cutest, cleverest, and most stylish forwards in England. When he plays, Palace is a different team.
Zaha is injured right now, though, and Palace was terrible without him in a road game at Leeds on Monday when they lost 2-0.
Burnley is doing okay after that slow start to the season. They’ve lost 11 of 22, but nine of those losses came in matchups against teams in the top half of the Premier League standings. Crystal Palace is not a top-half team and definitely not a top-half team without Zaha.
Manchester City to beat Tottenham – Money Line and over 2.5 total goals (-120), 12:30 p.m ET
Jose Mourinho, the head coach at Tottenham, is famous for making the teams he coaches defensively hard to break down.
However, on Wednesday night in the FA Cup, Tottenham shipped five times in an amazing 5-4 loss to Everton. And that wasn’t the first time this season that Mourinho’s famed defense had been taken apart.
Now they need to go again against the most attacking, the most exciting, and the most penetrating team in the section – and you have to think it’s going to be hard work.
City is on a 15-0 run at the moment and can go 16-0 in a game full of goals. Not even Tottenham can stop them.
