This coming weekend sees the return of the Premier League with Matchweek 24 featuring an action-packed schedule. At the top, Manchester City and Arsenal sit tied with 51 points each, as Manchester United sits closely behind, followed by Newcastle rounding at the top four. In the middle, things are crowded as five teams sit within five points of each other as the calendar turns to March in just 10 days.
These are my best betting choices for the EPL action that will take place on Saturday and Sunday.
Let’s dive in.

Premier League Matchday 24 Preview & Best Bets (2023)

Aston Villa (+330) vs. Arsenal (-125)
Arsenal, who are now in first position atop the table, and Aston Villa, who are currently in 11th place, will engage in an exciting battle this weekend. Despite the fact that Villa possesses an incredible roster, the club’s recent performances have been less than stellar, and their defense has left much to be desired.
Villa has already let in seven goals over their last two Premier League matches, and Arsenal is likely to add to that total with several goals of their own. The Gunners have been on somewhat of a losing streak over the past couple of weeks, but they still have the look of a team that might challenge for the championship and have been a part of some unfortunate results as of late.
As they go forward in their pursuit of the championship, Arsenal should see a rebound at this point. Like them to get back on track here.
Pick: Arsenal (-125)
New Castle (+150) vs. Liverpool (+175)
This might end up being the most exciting match of the weekend, as Newcastle is now in fourth position with 41 points after 22 games, while Liverpool is currently in ninth place with 32 points after 21 games. This season, Newcastle has not yet suffered a loss in any of their home games, and in their most recent four matches, they have only allowed one goal.
Although Liverpool has a very skilled team and is capable of winning any game, you cannot put your faith in them to do well this season, particularly when they play on the road. With 10 matches played away from home, the Reds have only two victories to their name so far this season. They are not in any way the same team they were in previous years.
I anticipate that Newcastle will shut out Liverpool and win the game with a few goals scored.
Pick: New Castle (+150)
