We are in for another busy day of Premier League action on Saturday and, as a bonus, there will also be the FA Cup quarterfinal matchup between Manchester City and Championship leaders Burnley. With City in the cup and leaders Arsenal not playing Crystal Palace until Sunday, much of the attention will turn to the bottom of the table, where teams such as Bournemouth, Leicester, Everton, Wolves and Leeds will all be desperate for points to help them avoid relegation.
There are plenty of interesting games and we have picked out an EPL parlay for Saturday’s action, which pays at +967 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook. Just beware that clocks have yet to move forward in England, so matches will kick off an hour later than usual.

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth both teams to score (-128), 11:00 am ET
Bournemouth is in the thick of the battle to avoid what would be an immediate return to the Championship, but the Cherries should be encouraged by their recent showings and can make their mark at Aston Villa. Gary O’Neil’s team beat Liverpool last week and also found the net against Manchester City and Arsenal, having led the Gunners 2-0 before being stung by Reiss Nelson’s injury-time winning goal at the Emirates.
Confidence should definitely be high and this could be an entertaining game against Villa, one of the few teams in the Premier League that has little to play for in the remainder of the season. Unai Emery has helped turn Villa’s fortunes, but while his team beat shot-shy Crystal Palace 1-0 in their last home game, it conceded in each of its previous six, shipping four goals against both Leicester and Arsenal, so expect both teams to score here.
Brentford ML over Leicester (-105), 11:00 am ET
Brentford showed its fighting qualities when winning 2-0 at Southampton on Wednesday and this looks like a difficult trip for struggling Leicester. Thomas Frank’s Bees have had a great season to expel any worries about relegation, and although that could lead some to believe they may start to take their eyes off the ball, those fears were quelled when the team beat Southampton on Wednesday. It is also worth remembering that leaders Arsenal are the only visitors to have won at Brentford this season.
Leicester, meanwhile, has struggled this season and is out of the relegation zone only on goal difference. It is difficult to see the Foxes getting anything from their trip to west London as they have lost their last four league matches.

Chelsea ML over Everton (230), 1:30 pm ET
It has been a disappointing season at Chelsea, but two Premier League wins and progress in the Champions League has eased pressure on coach Graham Potter and his team can gain another success at home to Everton. The Toffees are fighting for their lives but all three of their victories under new coach Sean Dyche have come at their Goodison Park base. They are winless in their last nine away matches and have scored in just two of those, so that does not bode well.
Chelsea, meanwhile, has conceded just four times in its last nine games and while Southampton won at Stamford Bridge recently, the only other two visiting teams to do so have been Arsenal and Manchester City, so expect a home win.

Manchester City vs Burnley both teams to score (+114), 1:45 pm ET
Manchester City turns its attention to the FA Cup this week and a quarterfinal against Championship leaders Burnley could be an entertaining affair. Coach Pep Guardiola, who saw his team thrash RB Leipzig 7-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, tends to select a strong lineup for these matches but expect Burnley, managed by City legend Vincent Kompany, to give the Citizens something to think about.
City has won five of its last six games in the league and conceded just once in their last five EPL games at home, but expect Burnley to be positive as they have lost just one of their last 23 league games and have failed to score in just two Championship road games this term.
