The leading online bookmakers offer over 200 pre-match and live betting markets on every game from the EPL. You'll find the best of them on this page.
Aston Villa v Tottenham, Friday 19:30
Aston Villa hold the home advantage over Tottenham Hotspur, with the locals pushing for another UEFA Champions League finish. Villa start the weekend sixth in the Premier League, level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea and just two behind Manchester City in fourth.
Unai Emery's men boast impressive recent form, winning five and losing one of their previous six starts. Their most recent defeat was a 2-1 at Man City last month. Since that narrow loss, Villa scored a 1-0 home win over Fulham before beating Bournemouth by the same scoreline on the south coast. Villa beat Spurs 2-1 here in the FA Cup earlier this year, and another narrow win looks likely. You can add Aston Villa to your weekend accumulators.
It has been a season to forget for everyone connected to Tottenham. The Londoners are in the final of the Europa League, but have been woeful in the Premier League. Spurs travel with 20 defeats and five draws from 36 games, taking just one of the last 15 points available.
Tip: Both score and Aston Villa win @ 7/5 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Aston Villa win the game, but Tottenham score at least one goal, your bet is a winner.
Chelsea v Man Utd, Friday 20:15
The second match from a Friday double-header comes from Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea play Manchester United. These giants of English football meet for the 197th time in competitive action, with the head-to-head scores at Chelsea 55 wins against 80 for Man Utd and 61 draws. Chelsea to win this renewal is 4/11 at bet365. Another draw is 17/4, with Man Utd trading at 6/1.
In addition to holding the home advantage on Friday, Chelsea are 11 places higher in the EPL than their guests, with eight more wins and a goal difference that's superior by 30. The Blues are fighting for a Champions League finish but must bounce back from a 2-0 defeat at St James Park last Sunday. The points mean more to Chelsea than Man Utd, and that should show in the efforts of both clubs.
Man Utd travel from Old Trafford to London with just four teams beneath them in the table following a nightmare domestic campaign. The Red Devils are safe from relegation, have one eye on the Europa League final with Spurs and have lost each of their last two. Chelsea are the pick, but it's worth knowing that both teams scored in each of the previous seven meetings of these teams.
Tip: Both score and Chelsea win @ 7/4 (bet365)
Bet explanation: To win this wager, Chelsea must secure all three points, but Man Utd must find the net at least once.
West Ham v Nottingham Forest, Sunday 14:15
We remain in London for our first pick from Sunday's schedule. West Ham United play Nottingham Forest with the home team down in 15th, but coming in on the back of a confidence-boosting win. Forest start in seventh place and chasing a Champions League finish. A win for West Ham is 7/4 with bet365, the draw is 23/10, or you can trust Forest at 31/20.
It has been another torrid season for the West Ham faithful. The team from East London have only one win in six. They're miles off the prize places, but free from the threat of relegation, meaning the Hammers have nothing to play for. Their form makes them difficult to trust.
Nottingham Forest arrive at the former Olympic Stadium in seventh, just a win behind Man City in fourth. Nuno Espirito Santo and his men dream of a Champions League finish, meaning Sunday is a must-win. We're happy to side with the high-ranked team boasting the better form of the two clubs.
Tip: Nottingham Forest to win @ 31/20 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need Nottingham Forest to win the game, regardless of the score.
Arsenal v Newcastle, Sunday 16:30
The pick of Sunday's five-match programme comes from the Emirates Stadium in north London, where Arsenal and Newcastle dispute three vital Premier League points. Win at home, and Arsenal will secure a silver medal finish behind champions Liverpool. Victory for Newcastle would see the visitors leapfrog their hosts. Arsenal to win is 19/20 (bet365), with the draw trading at 13/5 and Newcastle 27/10.
The Gunners' recent form is poor, with just one win in their last six league games. Mikel Arteta's men have had little to play for in recent weeks and were busy with their Champions League campaign. Following their semi-final defeat to PSG, the locals can concentrate on holding their position, but have they run their race?
Followers of the stats will know Newcastle have already beaten Arsenal three times this season, leading 5-0 on aggregate. The Magpies battled to a 1-0 home win in the league before beating Arsenal 2-0 home and away in the League Cup. Take the value on an away win.
Tip: Newcastle to win @ 27/10 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Newcastle leave London with all three points on Sunday, you'll collect the profits from your prediction.
