As we reach the final third of the English Premier League season, the best have already separated themselves from the rest.

None of the top teams in the league are playing each other this weekend, unless you think that Tottenham vs. Chelsea counts, but there’s still good bets on the board.

I’ve circled three of my favorite bets for a weekend of Premier League action, but before I get into that, you should know about one of the best promotions in sports betting at DraftKings Sportsbook.

DraftKings Sportsbook Promo

This offer only applies to new users, but if that’s you, don’t miss out. DraftKings is offering a promotion that’s hard to beat: Bet $5 on any team’s moneyline, win $150 in bonus bets if your bet wins!

Most sportsbooks offer you insurance on your first bet, but with DraftKings, you only have to deposit $5 to start winning big.

All you have to do is sign up with DraftKings Sportsbook using this link, verify your identity, deposit at least $5, and then wager at least $5 on any team’s moneyline.

When you can make $150 off ANY team winning, it only makes sense to bet on the biggest favorite on the board.

Now that you’re tuned in to one of the best promotions out there, you can build your bankroll for a fun weekend.

Here are some of my best bets to take in Premier League action:

Man City -1.5 (-130)

Man City is the biggest favorite of the week and that’s for good reason! This is a matchup of the league’s top team (Man City) and its worst team (AFC Bournemouth).

Man City has won 16 of its 24 matches in regulation this season and has led the league with 60 goals this season.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, has lost 12-of-23 matches while allowing the most goals in the league.

With stats like that, you don’t need much further analysis. Take Man City to win by two-or-more goals this weekend and rest easy.

Arsenal to win in regulation (-140)

The logic for picking Arsenal over Leicester City is simple. Arsenal has DOMINATED the all-time series, especially recently.

Arsenal has won 20 of 31 matchups against Leicester, losing in regulation just four times EVER. Coming into this match, Arsenal has won each of the last four meetings between these two teams by two goals, and has been playing at the top of the league.

Leicester City, though, is second-to-last in the league, ahead of only AFC Bournemouth.

Trust history to repeat itself and take Arsenal to win in regulation.

Nottingham Forest to win in regulation (+380)

The first two picks in this article hold strong value, but they don’t return a ton of profit. If you’re chasing a sizable payday, you might want to consider taking Nottingham Forest to win in regulation over West Ham at nearly 4-to-1 odds.

These two teams are near the bottom of the league in scoring, with West Ham scoring one more goal than Nottingham ALL SEASON.

If that’s not enough to consider taking a chance on the upset, Nottingham has one more win than West Ham this season and also has home-field advantage.

It’s by no means a lock, but if you’re shooting for an upset, take Nottingham Forest to win today with GREAT odds.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you bet on as long as you lock in your $150 in bonus bets. Sign up with DraftKings today before one of the best promotions around comes to an end.
