English Premier League Predictions, Odds, & Best Bets for Week 5

⭐ A Tie at HT & Chelsea to Win at FT (+360) at BetMGM

We kick things off with our Bournemouth vs. Chelsea prediction where we expect a narrow victory for the away team after a topsy-turvy start to 2023/24. 

Four games in has seen Chelsea lose two games already, beating only Luton Town in the Premier League before a home defeat to Nottingham Forest. However, things haven't looked much better for Bournemouth, who are winless in the same period.

Chelsea’s offensive talent and control in midfield is likely to dictate this game, and we expect the Blues to leave the south coast of England with all three points. On the other hand, with just five goals scored so far, we expect a tie at halftime before clinching the win in the second half.

Given how we expect a close game, you may want to consider some other EPL best bets for this match, such as BTTS & either team to win at +125 with BetMGM, or Chelsea to win 1-0 (+775).

⭐ Haaland to score first & City to Win (+320) at FanDuel

It took just three minutes and four seconds for Erling Haaland to open his account for the 2023/24 campaign and he stunningly scored yet another hat-trick last time out to put him on six goals in four games already.

For the City striker, this fixture at West Ham will always live long in the memory, as it saw him score his first-ever Premier League goal. With this in mind, our West Ham vs. Manchester City prediction considers him to score first once more and City to win at +320 with FanDuel.

There are some other EPL best bets, such as City to win 3-0 at +1000 after battering Fulham 5-1 the other week, while Haaland is also +1300 to score another hat-trick - he got four Premier League hat-tricks last season, two of which came in succession.

⭐ Newcastle to win & BTTS (+210) at Caesars Sportsbook

It’s been a rough ride for Newcastle so far, and with a brutal Champions League draw seeing it play against Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan, it simply has to put together some form before next week’s European games.

It has a home game against Brentford this weekend, and this should be enough to allow it back in the win column after scoring seven, letting in seven and winning only one game in the past four. 

As part of our EPL best bets, our Newcastle vs. Brentford prediction picks a first win in three games for the Magpies. Brentford has been excellent this season, however, so do expect both teams to score at -130 with Caesars.

Alexander Isak has been the main man for Newcastle this season, and with Brentford winning just one of their four games too, Isak will fancy his chances against it and he is now -105 to score anytime for Newcastle.

• ⭐ Man United to Win 2-1 (+650) at DraftKings

Manchester United’s rough start to the season took another hit before the international break, as the Red Devils lost 3-1 at Arsenal, despite taking a 2-1 lead for a few minutes before a dramatic VAR call overruled their second goal.  

Back at home, however, they remain unbeaten in the Premier League since, ironically, Brighton beat them in August, 2022. It puts them as the most impressive side in English soccer on home turf right now, and after a week off because of international football, it should burst right back onto the Old Trafford field with a win.

Bruno Fernandes was majestic for Portugal in the international break, scoring a goal and putting together a hat-trick of assists against Luxembourg this week - Fernandes is +450 to score first or last at DraftKings.

Brighton has been sensational once again this season, however, and with both teams to score at -260, our Manchester United vs. Brighton prediction as part of our EPL best bets looks at the Seagulls getting at least one goal in this defeat.

• ⭐ Ollie Watkins to score & Villa to Win (+900) at bet365

We conclude our EPL predictions and best EPL bets with Crystal Palace at Aston Villa, as the home team looks for a swift return to winning ways.

Villa lost 3-0 to Liverpool before the international break, but by scoring eight Premier League goals in three games before that, the Villains are expected to ease to all three points against Palace.

Our Aston Villa vs. Crystal Palace prediction looks at Villa to win at -110 with bet365, while both teams to score is at -133 with the home side letting in nine goals in four league games. 

What’s more, Ollie Watkins will fancy his chances in this one after scoring a hat-trick against Hibernian just before the international break, while the majority of his goals come at home too.
