There are six matches on the Saturday Premier League soccer schedule but one in particular which stands out.
The best game of the day comes last when Champions League finalists Liverpool welcome Tottenham to Anfield at 2:45 pm ET, which is a big deal in both the title race and the battle for top-four honors.
We’ve got a bet for this matchup as part of a 4-game parlay to hopefully see you successfully through Saturday’s slate. It pays +1862 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook.

Parlay odds: +1862
Crystal Palace ML over Watford (-155), 10:00 am ET
Veteran Watford head coach Roy Hodgson has decided enough is enough and will quit the sport he loves this month. And he’ll quit having failed to save his team from relegation to the Championship.
The last rites on Watford’s EPL season and last rites on ex-England coach Hodgson’s career will be played out at his former club, Crystal Palace, who should be too slick and too quick for an opponent on an 0-5 run over the last month.
Brentford vs Southampton both teams to score (-142), 10:00 am ET
Where do we start with this? Brentford have conceded 52 goals this season while Southampton’s defense is even worse with 58 shipped.
This is the EPL’s version of an NBA playoff game with all eyes on three-point king James Ward-Prowse, Southampton’s deadeye from downtown, while Brentford’s Ivan Toney is lethal in the paint. This will be fun – and could be anything in scoring terms.
Both teams are mid-division and can lay on an end-of-term show in the spring sunshine.
Manchester United ML over Brighton (+150), 12:30 am ET
Trusting United won’t be every bettor’s idea of a sane thing to do on Saturday, but they look to have a lot in their favor at Brighton.
The key thing for United is Brighton’s terrible home form – they haven’t won a home match in 2022 and have only won once at their home ground on the south coast since September.
United, a club in near revolution over the fans’ unhappiness with the Glazer family, their American owners, beat a spirited Brentford 3-0 last time out.
Cristiano Ronaldo, their veteran former world player of the year, has scored in each of his last four and will be desperate to extend that run.
Tottenham +1.5 over Liverpool (+180), 2:45 pm ET
Tottenham’s claim to fame in 2021-22? They are the only team not to lose a single game to either Manchester City or Liverpool, the EPL’s big two.
And having beaten City twice and tied 2-2 with Liverpool, they’ve got to believe they can avoid defeat when they go to Anfield.
Liverpool, we know, are flying high, having made it through to the Champions League and with a staggering Quad of trophies to chase down. But fifth-placed Spurs are stubborn enough under their Italian head coach Antonio Conte to believe they can make life tough for Jurgen Klopp’s aces.
