The 2023/24 Premier League season heads into a crucial period this weekend, with three matchdays scheduled to be staged in just over a week.  

The standout game on Saturday is at Liverpool as they go head-to-head with Arsenal in a fixture that could have a big bearing on the title race. 

Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games on Matchday 18 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

With reigning champions Manchester City on Club World Cup duty, Liverpool and Arsenal have the chance to strengthen their respective title claims this weekend. 
 
The odds on the top football betting sites give Liverpool the edge, but the Gunners will fancy their chances of taking something from the game. 
 
While this match makes limited appeal as a betting proposition, backing the draw at odds of 13/5 will likely give punters a good run for their money. 

Having exploited the over 1.5 goals market with a winning tip last weekend, the latest round of matches offers another chance to go to the well. 

The games at West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers should all hit above that mark on Matchday 18. 

The five-fold pays odds of around 15/8 on several betting apps and can deliver another winning return to punters just in time for Christmas. 

Numerous new betting sites could face a sizeable payout this weekend if a tasty weekend treble involving Aston Villa, Fulham and Newcastle United romps home. 

Villa are a banker bet to win at home to Sheffield United, while Fulham should have little problem seeing off Burnley at Craven Cottage. 

Newcastle are fancied to emerge victorious from their trip to Luton Town, completing a tasty 9/4 treble for savvy sports bettors.
