Liverpool ML over Aston Villa (-205), 10:00 am ET

Liverpool have won 7 straight English Premier League matches to march back into the race for a top-four finish. The Reds have lost just 1 top-flight contest at Anfield this season and Jurgen Klopp’s men were at their rampant best at Leicester on Monday night. The Reds’ relatively thin squad was hit hard by injuries this season, but key players have returned and Liverpool have been looking like the force of old in recent weeks.

Unai Emery has worked wonders at Aston Villa this season, but things have cooled for the Villans of late and it’s only 1 road win in 4 for Villa. Liverpool look a good bet to keep the pressure on Newcastle and Manchester United in the battle for Champions League football.

Manchester United ML over Bournemouth (-200), 10:00 am ET

United got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at home to Wolves and they can strike again at Bournemouth. A fantastic effort has seen the Cherries move away from relegation danger, but Gary O’Neil’s men appear to have taken their foot off the gas now the job is complete and they are likely to be outclassed.

Bournemouth were beaten by Chelsea on the south coast, which was followed by a 2-0 loss at Palace last weekend, and the Red Devils are likely to make it 3 defeats in a row for Bournemouth on Saturday.

Wolves ML over Everton (+175), 10:00 am ET

It’s certainly true that Everton’s need for points is greater than Wolves, but that may not transfer in the result. Wolves have won 4 of their last 7 EPL games, which includes excellent victories over Chelsea, Brentford and Aston Villa, and this Wolverhampton side hasn’t lost a match at Molineux since mid-March.

Everton were excellent when beating a below-par Brighton team  5-1 last week, but they were given a tough time by Manchester City on Sunday and that clash may have left its mark. All the pressure is on the Toffees and Wolves look to be a value play.

Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal over 2.5 goals (-170), 12:30 pm ET

Arsenal’s title push was all but ended by a 3-0 Emirates defeat to Brighton last weekend and it will be interesting to see how the Gunners perform in their final 2 EPL games of the season. There have been 46 goals in Arsenal’s last 12 top-flight matches, with all but one of those games going over 2.5 goals and 9 of them breaking the 3.5 goal mark. It’s possible that Mikel Arteta’s side may well be feeling the effects of a likely unsuccessful and drawn-out title battle, both physically and mentally, and there could be plenty of opportunities when the Gunners visit the City Ground on Saturday.

Nottingham Forest play on the front foot and there have been 23 goals in their last 5 matches. Head coach Steve Cooper has shown no signs of changing his positive approach. Everything points to goals at the City Ground and backing over 2.5 looks the way to play this game.
