While Liverpool hold a commanding historical edge, recent domestic form suggests vulnerability in their defensive execution. The Reds have won 12 of the last 13 meetings and scored prolifically in those fixtures.<\/p><p>The Reds have drawn four straight Premier League games and conceded in multiple matches during that span. A trend of defensive openness even against lower-midtable opponents is quite evident. Bournemouth&rsquo;s recent run includes a three-match unbeaten streak and a competitive defensive profile that has limited many opponents to a single goal or forced shared points.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Cherries&rsquo; matches have seen a high frequency of goalscorers on both sides. And their own attack has shown the capacity to convert chances against established defenses. Data shows Bournemouth&rsquo;s match stats include over 63 percent of games with more than 2.5 goals, and a high BTTS rate historically this season.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Liverpool boast attacking talent throughout the frontline, keeping them consistently involved in goals. But defensive lapses in recent fixtures support the BTTS selection. Especially when it&rsquo;s coupled with Bournemouth&rsquo;s attacking output. The short price reflects Liverpool&rsquo;s firepower balanced against a Bournemouth side capable of troubling their defence.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Bet #2 &ndash; Crystal Palace vs Chelsea: Total Goals Under 3.5<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Market<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pick<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Odds &amp; Book<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Goals<\/td><td>Under 3.5&nbsp;<\/td><td>-250 at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>Crystal Palace will welcome Chelsea to Selhurst Park on January 25. The fixture is shaped by contrasting scoring profiles. Palace have endured a tough streak. They&rsquo;ve remained winless in 10 matches across all competitions. They are also struggling to impose themselves consistently in the final third.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Their attacking average of around 1.0 goals per game ranks them toward the lower end of the Premier League this season. They have also managed only occasional multi-goal performances at home. Chelsea, under a new manager, have shown signs of resurgence. They&rsquo;ve registered wins over Brentford and Pafos&nbsp;<\/p><p>They showed in those games that the squad&rsquo;s ability to produce results without necessarily turning games into goal fests. While the Blues create expected goals figures above those of Palace, their defensive structure has nonetheless limited opponents to few high-probability clear-cut chances. Palace&rsquo;s attack is underperforming.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Chelsea also have an occasional inefficiency translating into draws or narrow wins. Hence, the likelihood of a match with four or more goals is reduced. Head-to-head history also doesn&rsquo;t suggest high-scoring fireworks. Tighter scorelines have prevailed in recent encounters. Both teams&rsquo; have a tendency toward controlled scoring environments and a tactical battle that might not fully open up.<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div class=\"MvpBookmakerTable\" >\n

The Gunners are sitting atop the league table with strong expected goal metrics and defensive solidity. It has kept them among the few teams generating high xG (1.73 per game) while conceding far fewer than most rivals.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Arsenal also boast one of the highest positive goal-difference profiles in the league through underlying metrics, reinforcing their status as title contenders. Whereas, Man United arrive after a derby win against Manchester City that boosted morale. But their overall league position reflects a team still seeking consistent top-four performance.&nbsp;<\/p><p>While capable of strong individual showings, they lack the offensive punch of Arsenal, particularly away from home. Arsenal&rsquo;s home form this season has been near-impeccable. The team has converted a high share of chances and limited big chances against through disciplined structure and pressing transitions.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Man United&rsquo;s road form has been mixed. With Arsenal&rsquo;s ability to balance risk and control at the Emirates, Arsenal to see a straight win seems to be the most probable outcome. With Mikel Arteta&rsquo;s squad largely fit and focused on reclaiming the title, the pricing underestimates their probability slightly. Thus, creating value in backing the hosts to secure all three points.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premier League Best Bets for Matchday 23 Recap &ndash; January 24-26, 2026<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Best Bet #1: <\/strong>Bournemouth vs Liverpool &ndash; Both Teams to Score: Yes (-200 at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a><\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best Bet #2:<\/strong> Crystal Palace vs Chelsea &ndash; Total Goals Under 3.5 (-250 at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best Bet #3:<\/strong> Arsenal vs Manchester United &ndash; Arsenal to Win (-180 at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>FanDuel<\/a><\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Premier League Matchday 23 fixtures unfold between January 24 and January 26, 2026.
