Saka and Arsenal take on Brighton & Hove Albion at Emirates Stadium this weekend - EPL Picks

EPL

There are seven total matches in the English Premier League tomorrow, starting bright and early with Nottingham Forest hosting Manchester City at 7:30 a.m. eastern. While I don't think I'll have something "official" in that match, City likely heads into Nottingham and earns themselves a shutout win, which can be found around +178 for those interested. If that's too juicy, take City to win and under 4.5 for +105, as you'll still walk away a winner if the score ends 3-1. However, if you're going to sleep through that match and want something else later in the morning, check out my EPL picks below.

Look, we haven't been doing great, but we have hit three straight in the EPL and four of our last five. We are up just over three units in the month of December in this league, so let's close out the month with a couple of winners.

  • EPL Overall YTD
  • 34-46-4 (42.5%)
  • -8.38u
  • Average Odds: +117

English Premier League: Saturday's Predictions December 27

Arsenal vs. Brighton & Hove Albion EPL Picks

We're going right back to the auto-bet. Seriously, I'll sound like a broken record pitching you this play, but the rules are simple. If Arsenal is at home against an inferior EPL team, and you can get their shutout win for plus money, you take the bet and say thank you.

Now you could pair their ML and Under 3.5 for +129 as well, but with Saliba and Calafiori back in the lineup, I think they keep things super tight at home. They have 15 shutout victories so far this season in 27 total matches, and have done so in nine of their 14 matches at the Emirates. They would've had 16, but Crystal Palace scored in stoppage time. This team has allowed just 10 goals in 17 EPL matches, the best in the league by far, and Brighton have been shutout in their last two league contests, and suffered a 2-0 shutout to Arsenal at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup earlier this season.

I see history repeating itself, with the Gunners holding on for a low scoring, shutout victory.

Prediction: Arsenal Wins 2-0 (+600)

Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers EPL Picks

Best Bet: Liverpool ML/Both Teams to Score No (-109) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

Typically I want a plus sign next to this wager, but at Anfield against the worst team in the EPL, I think we will be okay. The Wolves are still searching for their first win in league play in their 18th match. They have netted just nine goals in their 17 contests so far, allowing their foes to score 37, ranking dead last in both categories. At this point, they are probably going to be relegated.

Liverpool is looking to stay even with Chelsea and Manchester United who are all tied at 29 total points, while the Blues and hosts in this match do have a game in hand over United. Wins against easy teams are crucial to earn all three points possible, and Liverpool will certainly understand this as Wolverhampton comes to town. The hosts have allowed just one goal over their last three overall, and I believe this team is finding their form once again.

Do I fully trust them? Not yet. But at home against the worst team in the league, who has just two draws all year long, Liverpool should get the job done. In EPL play, the Wolves have been shutout 10 times, including six of seven times away from home in the league. It could get ugly, and I expect it to.

Prediction: Liverpool Wins 3-0 (+700)
