The 2024-25 Premier League season kicks on into Matchday 32, and we’re here with five top-shelf EPL tips for the weekend ahead.
Liverpool v West Ham
They’re still expected to win the EPL title and have been the best team all season, but Liverpool are limping towards the finish line. It’s understandable, their lead has all but secured them the win. It’s just a matter of picking up a few points along the way to lock it in.
While heavy $1.28 favourites to win this one and inch closer to lifting the trophy, there is an opportunity in the Both Teams to Score market at $1.78.
Liverpool are vulnerable in defence at the moment. Fulham put three past them on Matchday 31 for Liverpool to concede three for only the third time all season. Two games earlier, Newcastle scored two in the EFL Cup Final. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence is hurting them on both sides of the ball while Andy Robertson’s form has taking a dip of late.
West Ham, meanwhile, have a few goals in them. Jared Bowen is in fine form and they’re finding the net with regularity.
Liverpool should have too much quality with the ball, but given how close they are to the finish line, a lapse in defence is all we need to cash in.

Liverpool finally slipped up for Arsenal and they couldn’t take advantage last week. As we’ve come to expect, their manager put more blame in the officials than anything else. Arsenal did, however, lose on the back of a soft penalty. They should be coming into this one on the back of an EPL win. They are coming in off an excellent Champions League performance, though.

This is must-win for Arsenal if they’re to keep their slim title hopes alive and are presented with a vulnerable Brentford defence here. The Bees have struggled in defence all season. More recently, they’ve struggled with the ball just as much to have scored only four goals in five matches.
It should be an easy three points for Mikel Arteta’s side. Expect them to fly out of the blocks with their season on the line.

If Manchester United couldn’t get up for a Manchester derby to offer anything last week, what chance are they in this one?

The Top 5 on the EPL table are certain of a Champions League spot for next season. It’s a massive boost for Newcastle who currently sit 5th thanks to three consecutive wins. Another here can see them leap Chelsea for 4th.
First half goals are regular at St James’ Park. Newcastle themselves have lead in 10 out of 14 home games. Manchester United, on the other hand, aren’t scoring anywhere at any time. If Newcastle handle Bruno Fernandes, there is little else to worry about.
Bruno Fernandes is the only player in Europe’s top five leagues this season with 70+ tackles and interceptions and 70+ chances created.
Strong in defence, even stronger in attack 🔥

United have nothing to play for at the moment, and are playing like it. They’re desperate to end what will go down as one of the worst EPL seasons in the clubs history while Newcastle are flying towards relevance. They’re balanced, efficient and in form. Like Arsenal, expect Newcastle to start strong and look to take advantage of a team there to be beaten.

There are two ways to look at this one for Tottenham:
a) Their 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt leaves the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final finely poised with Ange Postecoglou sure to take this EPL fixture easy with next week in mind.
b) Their 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt leaves the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final finely poised with Ange Postecoglou sure to use this EPL fixture to tune his side up with next week in mind.
Big Ange can go either way with how he prepares his side. However, history suggests he’s aggressive and determined to win at all times. His job is on the line and a loss to Wolves here, whether it’s in preparation for their Europa League tie or not, won’t help his case.
As regulation as their 3-1 win over Southampton should have been, nothing is regulation for Tottenham. Still, they are getting healthier and looking better of late.
“If we repeat that performance next week then we give ourselves a great chance.”

Victor Pereira has managed to turn things around for Wolves. Four games unbeaten should be enough to keep them in the top flight for another season. Matheus Cunha’s return after a four-game suspension is a massive inclusion, too.
Wolves are a quality team and only five points separate the two on the table. However, $3 is too big for Tottenham on the assumption they have one eye already on next week. If they match their performance mid-week and play up to their potential, this price is a gift.
Bet Now Tottenham To Win @ $3Chelsea v Ipswich
Chelsea are flying under the radar a bit at the moment. They’re 4th on the EPL table but behind Manchester City ($1.83) and Newcastle ($2.25) to finish in the Top 4 at $2.70.
They have a prime opportunity to go a long way to securing their spot against relegation-bound Ipswich Town here.
Despite the lack of chatter around them, Chelsea have lost only one of their last eight in all competitions. Notably, they’ve kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Premier League matches. They’d kept only four in their previous 29 matches before the current run.
Meanwhile, Ipswich are fighting to keep their spot in the league for next season. They’ve fought hard and entertained at times. Liam Delap won’t be going down with them should the Tractor Boys face the drop. 10 of Ipswich’s 17 points have come on the road, but Chelsea should be too strong here.
