We are back with another week of the English Premier league. Last week was a fun one with wins from Aston Villa, Manchest United and Manchester City. Chelsea pulled out a 1-o win over Bournemouth and Liverpool has an embarrassing loss to Nottingham Forest at home.
The top 5 in the table are kind of expected, with one surprise. Defending champs Manchester City leads the way with 12 points. Arsenal and the surprising Newcastle are both tied for 2nd with 10 points, with Liverpool and Aston Villa rounding out the top 5.
Today, we’re going to take a look at a few of the games for this weekend. I have 3 prop bets and picks for you guys, so strap in because we’re going for a ride.
Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins after scoring a goal.
Aston Villa vs Wolverhampton Prop: Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist (-150) Get 50% up to $1000 Deposit on BetOnline for this pick
Ollie and the boys are off to a great start. They’re 3-0-1 to start the season and Watkins has been playing great. He has 2 goals and 1 assist on the season with 6 shots on target.
I really like this Aston Villa team at home. They’re coming in on a 2-game win streak against a winless Wolverhampton team. Watkins is the center of this offense, and the home crowd will have them fired up.
Villa should win this game, so another bet is Aston Villa Moneyline + Ollie Watkins for 1 shot on target for -124. There is some good value there for them to get their 4th win and Watkins just 1 shot.

Manchester City attacker Erling Haaland makes a gesture to the referee after a call.
Manchester City vs Arsenal Prop: Erling Haaland to Score or Assist (-120) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on BETUS for this pick
This is going to be a good game. Two of the league’s top teams will face off Sunday morning, but we have our eyes on 1 guy specific. Erling Haaland is having an insane start to the season and we’re going to ride the wave.
Haaland has 9 goals so far this season, including 2 back-to-back hat tricks. He scored twice in his last EPL game vs Brentford. I know he’s not much of a passer, but with Kevin De Bruyne out there, you never know. You can take his goal for +125 if you want.
The difference here is that they’re playing Arsenal. This will be their toughest opponent of the season, so being at home helps. I think Arsenal is going to compete in this game the entire time. That is why I lean with the TSOA because there may only be 1 goal.
Game Odds
Moneyline
- Manchester City -125
- Tie +250
- Arsenal +360

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer celebrates with the crowd after scoring a goal.
West Ham United vs Chelsea Prop: Cole Palmer to Score or Assist (-120) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on Bovada for this pick
Chelsea is having an ok start to the season with a 2-1-1 record. They’re 8th in the table, so they are standing their ground. Palmer has been great and playing all over the pitch.
He has 1 goal and 4 assists so far this season. Palmer has 1 point in his last 2 out of 4 EPL games with 3 shots on target. Along with Christopher Nkunku, he is one of their best offenders on the team.
West Ham hasn’t had the best start to the season, but they’ve only scored more than 1 goal in only 1 game this season. They will need to play some tight defense to contain Palmer and crew. I think he will assist on a goal to cash us.
Game Odds
Moneyline
- West Ham United +230
- Tie +280
- Chelsea +105
