While the top of the English Premier League table is a two-team race between Manchester City (82 points) and Arsenal (81 points), there’s still plenty at stake down the stretch with clubs jockeying for top-four positions as well as teams in the cellar trying to avoid relegation. This weekend’s Matchday 36 slate offers six matches on Saturday, three on Sunday, and a Monday tilt between Leicester City and Liverpool.
Let’s dive into my favorite plays on the pitch this weekend for Arsenal vs. Brighton.

Arsenal (-135) vs. Brighton (+330), Draw (+320) | 3.5 (+130/-165)
Brighton’s stunning loss to Everton on Monday certainly put a damper on their hopes of claiming a top-four spot. They currently have 55 points, but still have five matches yet to play. They’ll have a tough one Sunday morning as they travel to Emirates Stadium in London to take on Arsenal. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET.
Considering these are two of the best offenses in the Premier League, I’m going to lock in the over 3.5 goals with a plus-money payout. The Gunners are putting together a fantastic campaign and it has been the offense that’s powered the way. They’ve found the back of the net 83 times (2nd). Arsenal will host a Brighton squad that’s netted 63 goals this season (5th).
Brighton’s recent matches have seen them reach the four-goal mark in three of their last four ties. As for Arsenal, they’ve gotten there in seven of their last eight matches. Look for the Seagulls to push the pace in this game as they try to notch a win and reach the top four. Let’s sit back and watch these two dynamic offenses go to work €“ give me the over!
Bet: Over 3.5 Goals (+130)
