A busy week for the top world football clubs continues as the midweek UEFA competitions give way to league play this weekend. Two key early English Premier League matchups highlight the slate, with Sunday featuring two matchups between top-six teams. Arsenal, the 2022-23 EPL runners-up, are tied on points with second-place Tottenham but are fourth based on goal differential. Those teams square off at Emirates Stadium at 9 a.m. ET. At the same time Sunday, third-place Liverpool host sixth-place West Ham United at Anfield. The Gunners, Spurs and Reds are all two points behind league leaders Manchester City. The reigning champions host Nottingham Forest on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET.

Liverpool are -260 favorites against the Hammers (+650), and a draw in Liverpool vs. West Ham is priced at +390.  (For complete soccer coverage and more expert picks, check out our soccer analysis pages) 

The world football slate offers nearly unlimited opportunities for bettors, and the paydays can be huge if you combine your favorite picks into a parlay. Before you make any soccer picks or parlays, you really have to see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.

Holliman has been a writer and editor for nearly 25 years and grew up with soccer in his blood. He played competitively through high school and has been following the game closely since the 1970's heyday of the North American Soccer League. His interest has expanded worldwide, and his betting approach is centered on crunching the numbers, but he sees the whole field and relies on his instinct.

Since the 2022 World Cup, Holliman has been profitable across multiple leagues, including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and Bundesliga. He went 21-10 -- bringing a profit of $1,147 for $100 bettors -- on his Champions League predictions last season. He hit two parlays paying nearly 12-1 in 14 weeks of this article in 2022-23.

Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Sept. 23-25 and has found value in three best bets. If you combine these picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of almost 7-1! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET, so there is plenty of time for you to make your soccer picks.

We can tell you that one pick Holliman loves is Wolfsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund Under 3.5 Goals (-125) on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET. Dortmund played a midweek Champions League match, losing 2-0 to PSG on Wednesday, so they will be weary, and Holliman expects that to hold down the scoring. 

Holliman has two other plays in his parlay that would pay almost 7-1, including a plus-money play on a road team on the money line. If you combine these picks into a three-leg parlay, you can cash in HUGE! You ABSOLUTELY need to see the expert's predictions before you lock in any soccer picks or parlays of your own.

So which teams are MUST-BACKS on this weekend's soccer schedule? And which road team should you be backing at plus-money as part of a parlay that would pay almost 7-1? ...
