Arsenal vs. Wolves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Arsenal vs. Wolves odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Arsenal (25 wins, 6 losses, 6 draws) welcomes the Wolves (11-18-8) to Emirates Stadium Sunday for a regular-season finale. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Wolves odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal, which had the English Premier League title in its sights for most of the season, has struggled lately and is locked into a 2nd-place finish. The Gunners are a strong 13-2-3 at home this season but lost their last game there, 3-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion 2 weeks ago. The Gunners enter a 2-game slide after dropping a 1-0 decision at Nottingham Forest last week. Arsenal has lost 3 of its last 5 battles. F Martinelli and MF Martin Odegaard lead the Gunners with a team-best 15 goals apiece.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are in 13th place, are a poor 2-11-5 on the road. They are coming off a 1-1 draw at home against Everton last Saturday. The Wolves have a league-low 31 goals (0.84 goals per game), while allowing a middle-of-the pack 53 in 37 matches. F Daniel Podence and M Ruben Neves lead the team in scoring with 6 goals each.

Arsenal vs. Wolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 3, Wolves 1

Moneyline (ML)

AVOID.

Considering how Arsenal has played at home and how the Wolves have played on the road, the Gunners should come out on top with relative ease. However, they really don’t have much to play for and could consider resting some key players.

At -275, there’s too much juice to consider Arsenal on the moneyline, while the Wolves (+625) haven’t done enough this season — in this position — to justify bettors backing them.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+105).

The juice is on the Under, and while that makes sense, the Arsenal attack has been among the league’s best this season. The Gunners have scored multiple goals in 7 of their last 10 games and have scored at least 3 in 4 of those. They have topped 3.5 goals with their opponent in 7 of their last 10.

The Wolves have scored in 10 of their last 12 matches, so their offense has picked up as of late. Their weakness is defense, which is allowing 1.43 goals per game. They have allowed 2 or more expected goals in 4 of their last 6.

Expect Arsenal to abuse that shortcoming. TAKE OVER 3.5 (+105).

Manchester United vs. Chelsea odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Manchester United vs. Chelsea odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester United (21 wins, 9 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Chelsea (11-15-10) to Old Trafford Thursday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester United vs. Chelsea odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United has something to play for, needing a point in its last 2 games to secure a Champions League spot for next season. United sits 4th on the table and has scored 52 goals this season while allowing 41. United is a strong 13-1-3 at home this season. It is led by F Marcus Rashford, who has 16 goals on the season.

Chelsea has disappointed during the 2022-23 campaign. Its main weakness is offensively, averaging just 1 goal per game. F Kai Havertz leads the way with 7, but only Havertz and F Raheem Sterling have scored more than 3 goals. Chelsea is just 5-9-4 on the road this season and sits 12th on the table.

Prediction

Manchester United 1, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

All these values seem unplayable. Chelsea has too much talent to be (+320) for even a draw, but it has lost 5 of its last 7 matches. Defeats to Wolves, Brighton, Brentford, and others highlight its struggles.

Similarly, United at (-165) is just too expensive considering it just needs 1 point here. United has also drawn or lost 3 of its last 6 EPL matches.

With that in mind, pass the moneyline.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+125).

United has gone Under this total in 5 straight EPL matches and in 9 of its last 10, only topping it in a 2-2 road draw with Tottenham. It has had a clean sheet in 6 of them and scored multiple goals in just 4. It has allowed 2 goals in its last 5 EPL matches, and Chelsea’s offense won’t be the side to consistently pepper it with shots.

Chelsea has scored 7 goals in its last 9 matches. It has gone Under in 5 of its last 9 despite having a struggling defense over the past month. It allows just 1.17 goals per game and has strong defenders, so expect a low-scoring affair.

Take the UNDER 2.5 (+125).

Brighton vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Brighton vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Brighton (18 wins, 11 losses, 7 draws) welcomes Manchester City (28-4-4) to American Express Community Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brighton vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Brighton is a far different side than it was last season. It is averaging 1.94 goals per game, having scored 70 this season. It has a strong 10-5-3 record at home as well. Last season, it was known for its defense, but it has had 5 players score at least 7 goals this season, led by 10 from M Alexis Mac Allister. Brighton sits 6th on the EPL table with 2 games remaining.

City has already clinched the league title with Arsenal’s loss to Nottingham last weekend. City is a strong 11-3-3 on the road, and it is led by F Erling Haaland, who has scored 36 goals in 34 matches. It will end its season with Brentford before taking on Man U and then Inter in the FA Cup final and Champions League final respectively.

Brighton vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Brighton 2, Manchester City 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+300).

Simply put, Brighton is still fighting for a Europa League spot while City doesn’t have much to play for and should be resting its players to be prepared for more important matches in early June. That’s not to say that its talent, even with some 2nd-stringers, isn’t among the best in the EPL, but the urgency may not be there.

Brighton has won 4 of its last 6 matrches while City hasn’t even drawn a league match since Feb. 18. With both teams playing well, back a DRAW (+300) given the value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+120).

As noted above, Brighton’s attack has been lethal and diverse. It has gone Over in 3 of its last 4 matches and has allowed 10 goals in its last 4 games as well. It is allowing 1.39 goals per game which won’t bode well against a top-tier City attack.

City has gone Over this in 4 of its last 9. It has scored 3 or more goals in 6 of its last 9 as well. City is averaging 2.58 goals per game. With D Nathan Ake doubtful, its defense may not be as formidable. Ultimately, back the OVER 3.5 (+120).

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Newcastle United vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Newcastle United (18 wins, 4 losses, 11 draws) welcomes Arsenal (24-4-6) to St. James’ Park Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Newcastle United vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal had been atop the Premier League for most of the season, but the Reds are just 1-1-3 over their last 5 games, allowing surging Manchester City to take over 1st place.

Arsenal did win its last outing, a 3-1 home victory over Chelsea Tuesday. Currently in 2nd place, Arsenal is led offensively by F Martinelli, who has a team-best 15 goals. MF Martin Odegaard (14 goals), F Bukayo Saka (13) and F Gabriel Jesus (10) are the other Arsenal players with double-digit goals.

Newcastle United’s strength has been its defense as the Magpies have allowed the fewest goals in the league (27). Offensively, they’ve scored 61 goals and have the 3rd-best goal differential (+34). Newcastle United is 3rd on the table, behind Man City (79 points) and Arsenal (78). Newcastle is 10-1-5 at home this season and has won 8 of its last 9. The Magpies have won 4 straight home matches, including a 6-1 win over 7th-place Tottenham Hotspur April 23.

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 3, Arsenal 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET NEWCASTLE UNITED (+150).

Newcastle has been absolutely shredding teams lately, and the games really haven’t been close. It had double its opponents’ expected goals in 3 straight games, tripling its opponent in 2 of the 3.

Newcastle beat Tottenham 6-1, Everton 4-1 and Southampton 3-1 in the past few weeks. It also defeated Man U 2-0 and Wolverhampton 2-1 along with Tottenham and Southampton in its last 4 home games.

Newcastle is just playing much better right now than Arsenal. The Reds bounced back against Chelsea, which has struggled all season. Arsenal has lost to both Man City and Man U on the road, its only other games against top-4 EPL sides.

Put it all together and TAKE NEWCASTLE UNITED (+150).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-165).

The logic is to bet Over 2.5, but the value isn’t with the juice being -165.

Newcastle has gone Over in 8 of its last 9 and has allowed at least 1 goal in 12 of its last 13 EPL matches. It will take on an aggressive offense. Newcastle has also averaged over 3 goals per game across its last 6 games.

Arsenal has gone Over this total in 10 straight matches and has scored 2 or more goals in 9 of those contests.

Both teams should be able to score in this battle, and OVER 2.5 (-165) is the only way I would play this but only for a small unit given the value.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Arsenal vs. Chelsea odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Arsenal (23 wins, 4 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Chelsea (10-13-9) to Emirates Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Chelsea odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal is seeing the English Premier League title slip out of its hands as Man City surges. It hasn’t won a league match since April 1, posting a 0-1-3 record since. It is a strong 12-1-3 at home this season. Arsenal has been led offensively by F Martinelli, who has 15 goals in 33 matches. It has 3 players who have tallied double-digit goals.

Chelsea has been disappointing this season. The Blues are 4-7-4 on the road this season and have averaged just .94 goals per game. Their defense has remained strong, allowing just 1.09 per game. They are led in the attack by F Kai Havertz, who has 7 goals in 29 matches. They have lost 5 straight games through all competitions.

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN ARSENAL (-175).

Chelsea has been playing awful as of late, and the Blues have struggled immensely both on the road and at home. They have lost 4 of their last 5 EPL games and have lost those games a combined 1-7.  There’s no reason to think they will bounce back now.

Arsenal, on the other hand, is still in the race for the top spot in the league, but the Reds will need to handle business. Arsenal has won 4 of its last 5 at home as well.

Against a struggling opponent, take ARSENAL (-175) but only for a small unit given the juice on the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Chelsea’s style of play has loomed large over its total outcome the last several games. The Blues have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 and have gone Under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 as well. They have gone Over in just 3 of their last 14.

Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 earlier in the season. The Reds have gone Over in their last 9 straight, but they are allowing just 1.15 goals per game. Both defenses are elite while the Chelsea offense has been extremely ineffective.

Ultimately, take the UNDER 2.5 (+100) here.

Manchester City vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester City vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

In a high-profile English Premier League clash, Manchester City (22 wins, 4 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Arsenal (23-3-6) to Etihad Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

This game could very well decide the fate of the 2022-23 English Premier League season. City is 2 games behind Arsenal and is 5 points behind them for the top spot in the league. Both teams are locked into top-4 spots which will qualify the clubs for the UEFA Champions League next season.

City is an impressive 13-1-1 at home this season. It is led offensively by F Erling Haaland, who has 32 goals in 28 matches. City has won 6 straight EPL matches and hasn’t drawn or lost at home in a league match this calendar year.

Arsenal is 11-2-3 on the road this season. The Reds are led by F Martinelli, who has 15 goals on the season. F Bukayo Saka and M Martin Odegaard both have 10-plus goals as well. Arsenal has drawn 3 straight league matches, 2 of which were on the road.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Arsenal 2

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There just isn’t any value either way. City is at home and has been beating the snot out of the Premier League over the last few months. It hasn’t even drawn a home league match since December 2022.

Arsenal is a quality side and sits atop the league but has had clear struggles staying separated from mid-tier sides. Ultimately, given this value, playing City at (-185) doesn’t make sense, but at this point, you’d be a fool to bet against the Haaland-led club.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET ALTERNATE OVER 3.5 (+138).

The Over is juiced to a level that it is unplayable. Similar to the moneyline, the chances that Over 2.5 (-185) happens just doesn’t pose much betting value. Now, the OVER 3.5 (+138) is the stronger play here.

For starters, City is averaging 2.6 goals per game. While it allows just .93, it has allowed a goal in 3 straight games. City has gone Over this total in 3 straight games and in 6 of its last 9. It has scored at least 4 goals in 3 of its last 6. The offense is clicking, and its midfield is the best in the world which allows for ample chances.

Arsenal, on the other hand, averages 2.41 goals per game and allows 1.06. The Reds defense has led them down as of late, allowing 2 or more goals in 3 straight games. They have allowed 9 goals in their last 5 games. Arsenal has gone Over this total in 5 straight games and in 7 of its last 8.

Couple the elite, high-octane offenses with a slacking Arsenal defense and goals should come often. Take the OVER 3.5 (+138) here.

Newcastle United (15 wins, 4 losses, 11 draws) welcomes Tottenham Hotspur (16-10-5) to St. James’ Park Sunday. Kickoff is set for 9 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Newcastle United vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham lost 3-2 to Bournemouth at home last weekend. It is 0-2-2 in its last 4 league road matches and hasn’t won on the road since Jan. 23. Tottenham is led by star F Harry Kane, who has 23 goals in 31 starts. Key M Rodrigo Bentancur is out for this match.

Newcastle is 8-1-5 at home with that lone home loss being to Liverpool on Feb. 28. It has won 2 straight home matches and has won 5 of its last 6 league matches. United’s offense has been clicking as they have scored multiple goals in 5 of their last 6 games. F Miguel Almiron leads the team in scoring with 11 goals in 26 games.

Prediction

Newcastle United 2, Tottenham Hotspur 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN NEWCASTLE UNITED (-120).

Simply put, Newcastle has been far better at home than Tottenham has been on the road.

Even lately, Newcastle has been a far superior side. United has won 5 of their last 6 while Tottenham is 2-3-3 in its last 8 throughout all competitions.

Tottenham has allowed 9 goals through its last 5 league matches, so the defense just hasn’t been up to par. United has done a little on both ends of the pitch, scoring 13 goals in their last 6 and allowing 7 in that span.

Newcastle also beat Tottenham earlier in the season on the road and has been the better club. Despite the juice, take NEWCASTLE UNITED (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

Both teams have had a better offense as of late than defense. United has gone Over this total in 3 straight games and in 5 of their last 6 league battles.

Tottenham is averaging 1.84 goals per game and allows 1.45, so its defensive shortcomings have been a season-long issue. It has gone Over in 4 of its last 5 games and has topped 3.5 goals in 3 of those 5.

Put it all together and take the OVER 2.5 (-135).

Liverpool (12 wins, 9 losses, 7 draws) welcomes Arsenal (23-3-3) to Anfield Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-2 on Oct. 9 at home. Arsenal had 2.7 expected goals which blew away Liverpool’s 1.1.

Liverpool is 9-1-3 at home this season and is averaging 1.71 goals per game. They allow 1.18. The home side is 0-2-1 in their last 3 games. Liverpool is led by star M Mohamed Salah, who has 12 goals and 7 assists (both team highs) on the season.

Arsenal is 11-2-1 on the road this season. They are averaging 2.41 goals per game while allowing just .93. They sit atop the EPL and are 5 points clear of Man City. Arsenal has 3 players with double-figure goals, but it is F Martinelli who has a team-high 13.

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN ARSENAL (+145).

The Reds have been on fire as of late, having won 7 league-match games in a row. It hasn’t just been that Arsenal has won but moreso the manner in which they win.

They have won their last 3 games 4-1, 4-1 and 3-0. They also beat Liverpool the 1st time around and have performed equally as well on the road as at home.

Liverpool has also lost 4 of their last 8 throughout all competitions and 2 of their last 3 league matches. They are difficult to trust here, even at home.

Ultimately, back ARSENAL (+145).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-160).

The value isn’t necessary here to suggest a play, but it’s really the only way I’d play this battle. Liverpool’s played 2 games in the last week and should have relatively tired legs.

They have played Man City 4 times this season (2 times in non-league matches) and Arsenal once, going Over 2.5 in 4 of the 5 matches. Arsenal has scored 3 or more in 5 straight league matches and has gone Over this total in 7 of their last 8 league matches.

Superstar Liverpool D Virgil van Dijk missed the team’s match with Chelsea earlier this week with illness, so he may not get a full 90 either. Ultimately, despite the juice, take the OVER 2.5 (-160).

Manchester United (15 wins, 7 losses, 5 draws) welcomes Brentford (10-5-13) to Old Trafford Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester United vs. Brentford odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United has been one of the EPL’s best home teams this season, posting a 9-1-3 record at home. However, they lost 2-0 on Sunday to Newcastle and have been struggling of late, posting a 0-2-1 record in their last 3 league games. They are led by star F Marcus Rashford, who has scored 14 goals in 27 games this season.

Brentford beat Man U 4-0 last Aug. 13. They are just 3-4-7 on the road this season though. In total, they have scored 46 goals and allowed 37, sitting in 7th place in the league.

Manchester United vs. Brentford picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 1, Brentford 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Man U is set to have many key players sidelined. M Casemiro will still be suspended. M Christian Eriksen is out, and M Anthony Martial is doubtful. That’s going to be quite a bit to overcome, especially having not played at the top of their game lately.

In their last 3 league matches, Man U has had 2 fewer expected goals twice and even had fewer in their 0-0 draw with Southampton as well. They cannot be trusted to get a result. Meanwhile, Brentford has drawn 5 of their last 10 league games.

Given their ability to keep games close with top opponents like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, back the DRAW (+310) as they should be able to make this a close battle.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).

Brentford is not an attack-heavy side. They have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 matches and Under in 5 of their last 7. They are allowing just 1.32 goals per game as well.

Man U has gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games throughout all competitions as well. They have gone Under in 2 of their last 3 league matches.

Without 2 key attacking midfielders, they may struggle to produce. In their last 3 EPL games, Man U hasn’t had more than one expected goal and hasn’t scored in league play since Feb. 19. Ultimately, take the UNDER 2.5 (+105), especially considering the plus-money value.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 1, Manchester United 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+265).

Liverpool will be facing a competent side, and while they have played well at home, they still have 3 draws in 12 matches. They lost 2-1 to Man U Aug. 22, 2022, but the sides were within 0.5 expected goals of each other.

Man U has 2 draws in 12 road matches but have drawn 2 of their last 7 throughout all competitions. They are red hot, having won 9 of their last 11 but are facing one of the most complete sides in the EPL.

Considering the competitive nature and similar level of play, put a small unit on the DRAW (+265).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+130).

Liverpool has gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games throughout all competitions and in their last 4 league matches. They are 1-5 O/U in their last 6 EPL matches.

Without Mane, the Liverpool attack has taken a huge hit this season. They averaged 2.47 goals per game last season and are down to just 1.67. They also allow just 1.17 per game, so the defense has remained elite.

Man U has scored 2 or more goals in just 5 of 12 road matches this season, and against an elite defense, they should struggle to find opportunity. Also, they allow just 1.17 per game as well, so they have an elite backline.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 2.5 (+130).
