EPL Matchweek 5 preview & betting tips – Saturday night games
The English Premier League roars back to life after an international hiatus, promising fans a Saturday (UK time) filled with seven exhilarating matches. Here are our top bets for September 16 in Matchweek 5 of the 2023-24 EPL season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool
Liverpool kick-started the season in style, amassing an impressive 10 points in four games. Spearheading their attack is the evergreen Mohamed Salah, who, at 31, continues to thrives with two goals and two assists so far. Facing a Wolves side that’s already conceded eight times, Salah seems poised for another fruitful outing.

Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
Aston Villa’s campaign has followed a predictable trajectory – winning as favourites and stumbling as underdogs. Hosting Crystal Palace, they step in as favourites once again. Although Palace have been resilient, accumulating seven points, their scoring prowess pales in comparison to Villa’s formidable attack. Expect Villa to assert dominance on their home turf.
Aston Villa to win
Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Statistics tell an intriguing tale for this matchup. Brighton boast an impressive three wins from four games and top the goal charts with 12 strikes. Contrastingly, Manchester United appear unsteady, managing just six points. With an inconsistent defence, the Red Devils face a formidable Brighton side that could exploit their vulnerabilities.
Brighton to win
Newcastle United vs Brentford
A clash of high expectations awaits as Newcastle squares off against Brentford. The Magpies have struggled, garnering a mere three points in four games. Meanwhile, Brentford arrive with six points and a sturdy defensive record. While Newcastle’s attack has sputtered after their opening week blitz, Brentford’s resolute defence promises a close encounter.
