Five EPL fixtures hit the slate this weekend. We break down the best parlay combinations, flag value odds, and identify where the books may have slipped up.
EPL Weekend Parlay Guide - April 24-25, 2026
Five Premier League fixtures are on the card across Friday night and Saturday, and the parlay opportunities are genuinely compelling this week. From a Liverpool home banker to a spicy upset special at Molineux, let's dig into the odds - all sourced live from FanDuel - and build some winning combinations.
Match-by-Match Breakdown
Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest - Friday April 24, 20:00 UTC
Sunderland (11th, 46 pts) host Nottingham Forest (16th, 36 pts) in what looks like a classic mid-table scrap with real meaning for both sides. Forest are in genuine danger of being dragged into a relegation battle with only a six-point cushion over the drop zone, while Sunderland will want to push toward the top half. The home side carry the slight advantage here, and Sunderland to win at +180 (FanDuel) offers solid value. Forest's season has been a grind - only nine wins from 33 matches - and their away form away from the City Ground has been poor.
Value Flag: The draw at +230 is generous given how tight these lower-mid-table clashes tend to be, but we lean toward Sunderland winning outright at +180. That's implying roughly 36% probability - reasonable given the home advantage and Forest's struggles.
Fulham vs Aston Villa - Saturday April 25, 12:30 UTC
This is the headline early kick-off. Aston Villa (4th, 58 pts) are in the mix for Champions League qualification and cannot afford slip-ups. Fulham (12th, 45 pts) have had a tough season with six losses from their last fourteen, sitting just mid-table. Aston Villa to win at +155 (FanDuel) is the pick here. Villa have genuine quality throughout - and with European ambitions on the line, motivation is sky-high. Fulham at +165 feels a touch generous for a side that has won only thirteen all season. The draw is priced at +265, which reflects how one-sided this could be on paper.
Value Flag: Fulham at +165 is more generous than it should be if Villa are locking in a top-four push. Back Villa at -110 equivalent value or better - +155 is the price to take.
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace - Saturday April 25, 15:00 UTC
Liverpool (5th, 55 pts) are in a must-win situation if they want to keep pace with the top four. Crystal Palace (13th, 43 pts) have been mid-table also-rans this season. Liverpool to win at -200 (FanDuel) is the anchor leg of any parlay this weekend. Yes, -200 is short, but Liverpool at Anfield against a Palace side with just eleven wins all season is about as close to a banker as you will find in the Premier League. The draw at +390 and Palace win at +575 tell you everything you need to know about how the market views this one. Lay the juice and take Liverpool.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur - Saturday April 25, 15:00 UTC
On paper, this is the most fascinating fixture of the weekend. Wolves (20th, 17 pts) are rock bottom - three wins from 33 matches and almost certainly playing Championship football next season. Tottenham (18th, 31 pts) are not much better, with only seven wins themselves. Yet the market has Spurs as clear favorites at -135 (FanDuel). Given both sides are in the bottom three, this is a real trap game. Tottenham to win at -135 is still the logical pick since they have more talent, but the draw at +320 is worth noting for adventurous bettors.
Value Flag: Wolves at +360 to win at home in a relegation scrap is genuinely interesting. They are desperate, home, and facing a Spurs side with little to play for except pride. This is a live upset special if you want to chase a big number.
West Ham United vs Everton - Saturday April 25, 15:00 UTC
West Ham (17th, 33 pts) vs Everton (10th, 47 pts) is another match with real stakes. West Ham are battling relegation with only eight wins all season, while Everton have been quietly solid with thirteen wins. West Ham to win at +145 (FanDuel) is a nice price for a home side desperate for points. However, Everton's consistency this season - fourteen points clear of West Ham - makes the Toffees a credible pick at +200. This is a match where the draw at +250 is not without appeal either given the pressure involved.
Recommended Parlay Combinations
Parlay 1 - The Weekend Banker (2-Leg Safe Play)
- Liverpool to win - -200 (FanDuel)
- Aston Villa to win - +155 (FanDuel)
Combined odds: approximately +128. Liverpool are the anchor at Anfield, and Villa's Champions League ambitions make them reliable away from home against mid-table opposition. This is the parlay for bettors who want a safer return without going too short.
Parlay 2 - The Value Play (3-Leg Combo)
- Liverpool to win - -200 (FanDuel)
- Aston Villa to win - +155 (FanDuel)
- Tottenham to win - -135 (FanDuel)
Combined odds: approximately +220. Adding Spurs at -135 in a battle of the basement clubs boosts the return meaningfully. All three legs have logical backing - just be aware that Wolves at home in a relegation fight introduces real variance.
Parlay 3 - The Upset Special (High Risk / High Reward)
- Sunderland to win - +180 (FanDuel)
- Liverpool to win - -200 (FanDuel)
- Wolverhampton to win - +360 (FanDuel)
Combined odds: approximately +1050. This is the long-shot ticket. Wolves at +360 at home in a relegation six-pointer against a Spurs side playing out a dismal season is the key upset pick. Combine that with the near-certainty of Liverpool and the value of Sunderland at home against a poor Forest side, and you have a ticket worth a small unit play for a massive payout.
Best Value Bets of the Weekend
- Sunderland +180 - Forest's poor season makes this home win price too big to ignore.
- Aston Villa +155 - Fourth-place side with European motivation at implied 39% probability is undervalued.
- Wolves +360 - Desperation factor in a relegation battle at home makes this the upset special of the round.
