The Premier League is heading into its spring program of matchups and there is still so much to be decided that it promises to be an exciting last few months of the season. At the top, the onus is on champions Manchester City to catch leaders Arsenal after the Gunners opened a five-point gap at the head of the standings with their 4-0 victory over struggling Everton on Wednesday.
The Citizens face one of their tougher home matches against Newcastle, who have ambitions of finishing in the top four and qualifying for next season’s Champions League. That is the early game and it looks a close one to call, but we have come up with a parlay involving 4 of the 10:00 am ET matches that pays at +1490 odds with DraftKings Sportsbook.

Arsenal to win in shutout over Bournemouth (-115), 10:00 am ET
There seems little sign of Premier League leaders Arsenal being stopped in its tracks — Everton couldn’t do it on Wednesday and another struggler Bournemouth is unlikely to do it this weekend either. Bournemouth looks set to be playing in the Championship next season. The team has scored just 22 goals in 24 Premier League games and it is difficult to see the Cherries scoring at the Emirates when they have failed to find the net in 7 of their 12 road games.
Arsenal, meanwhile, appear to have gotten over their wobble caused by defeats to Everton and Manchester City and a draw with Brentford, so it should win this comfortably. Two late goals in a win at Aston Villa put a spring back in the Gunners’ step and they have hardly been troubled in subsequent wins over Leicester and Everton since then, so take them to win to nil.
Aston Villa ML over Crystal Palace (+110), 10:00 am ET
Crystal Palace are in danger of falling among the host of clubs battling against relegation and they look unlikely to stop a run of 8 Premier League matches without a win. Patrick Vieira’s team tied 0-0 with Liverpool in its last matchup but the Eagles did not have a single shot on target in that game and have scored just 4 times in their last 8. They continue to miss star creative player Wilfried Zaha and look up against it on the trip to Aston Villa.
Their hosts have turned the corner under new manager Unai Emery and they should take confidence from their performance against Arsenal when they were beaten by two late goals, one of which came in the dying seconds when they were chasing an equalizer. Villa won 2-0 at Everton in its last game and should build on that against the struggling Eagles.

Brighton ML over West Ham (-125), 10:00 pm ET
West Ham beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 last week with a strong late display but their road form is woeful and it seems unlikely anything will be earned from the trip to Brighton. David Moyes’s team, beaten 3-1 in the FA Cup at Manchester United on Wednesday, showed nothing in its last away league match at Tottenham and the Hammers have collected just 3 points from their last 10 games on the road. The visitors also have to cope with the absence of regular goalie Lukasz Fabianski, who suffered a facial injury in the win over Forest and that could also unsettle the team.
Brighton lost its last league game at home to Fulham, but the Seagulls tend to create bundles of opportunities and they could overrun their visitors from London.

Tottenham ML over Wolves (+125), 10:00 pm ET
Tottenham needs to bounce back from a dismal FA Cup performance in their defeat to Championship team Sheffield United on Wednesday, but Wolves may not be a bad place to do it. Despite that 1-0 defeat and a 4-1 loss at Leicester in their last road game, Spurs have shown enough in recent home wins over Manchester City, Chelsea and West Ham, all of which they won without conceding, that they can push into a top-four spot. The defense looks a lot stronger generally and a win at Molineux should be expected against a team that has taken just 1 point from its last 3 matches.
