Premier League Predictions, Picks & Best Bets Matchweek 26: EPL Expert Picks This Week
My Premier League predictions and picks for Matchweek 26 feature Man City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and the match between Everton and Bournemouth from Goodison Park.
Man City narrowed the gap at the top of the table to six points with a last-gasp victory at Anfield, which should inject some additional pep in the Cityzens' step. Their home match against Fulham headlines my best bets for the midweek clashes.

💰 Best Premier League bet: Man City & Under 4.5 goals (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Man City kept its hopes of winning the Premier League title alive with an improbable last-gasp victory at Anfield. It should buoy the collective, facilitating a run that will put pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal.
City has the second-best home record in the top flight, taking 29 of a possible 36 points. City is unbeaten in 10 matches in all competitions at Etihad Stadium, having won eight. Fulham's three away victories came against Burnley, West Ham, and Tottenham, three of the league's four worst home teams.

Bournemouth vs. Everton: Under 2.5 goals (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
While Bournemouth often plays in high-scoring matches, both of their previous two away matches featured two goals. Everton, meanwhile, is the master of the Under, with eight of the previous 10 Premier League matches seeing two goals or fewer.
That run includes three of the previous four at Goodison Park. The previous two Premier League matches between these teams featured a single goal, with each team winning once. Of the best sports betting sites, FanDuel offers the best price.
Brighton vs. Aston Villa pick: Aston Villa ML(-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brighton are tied with Newcastle and Sunderland for the fourth-worst away record, taking just 10 points from a possible 36. The Seagulls are winless in five away matches, having lost three.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, has lost two in a row at Villa Park. That uncharacteristic record should fall on Wednesday, with the Villains looking to stay within reach of the second-place Man City.
Manchester United vs. Fulham pick: Manchester United ML (-140) ⭐⭐⭐
Michael Carrick might not be the savior of United, but he's certainly given the Red Devils the shot in the arm they required. Carrick has a 100% record since rescuing the beleaguered team, having won all four matches, two of which against Man City and Arsenal.
He and his Red Devils travel to London Stadium to face a West Ham side tied with two other teams (Burnley and Tottenham) for the second-worst home record.
The Hammers have taken just 10 points from a possible 36 at a stadium that has one of the worst atmospheres in the top flight, especially when things are going awry. It's a 3-star pick due to the short odds.
