Just four days before Christmas, what is always a busy festive period in the English Premier League begins, with five games taking place on Saturday.
As we get into the swing of the holiday season, there’s no better time to try and strike it lucky with a juicy parlay. Read on for our EPL parlay picks.
Parlay picks for today
Each of the games featured in this parlay pick will be played on 21/12/2024.
Just two bets form Saturday’s Premier League parlay pick, which pays +600 at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Ipswich vs Newcastle - Harvey Barnes Over 0.5 Shots on Target
We’ll start with Saturday’s game between Ipswich and Newcastle, which will take place at Portman Road, arguably the most traditional venue in the Premier League this season.
With the hosts missing key man Liam Delap, given that they struggle for goals anyway, this looks like a huge opportunity for the visitors to strike, so don’t be surprised if we see away-team forwards licking their lips here.
One player in particular who’ll be keen to get going here is Harvey Barnes, who must see this is a big opportunity to impress. The speedy and direct winger/forward has enjoyed himself when playing this season, scoring five Premier League goals.
In recent games, Barnes has looked hungry too, firing off nine shots in his last three appearances. In recent weeks, he also averages 1.00 shots on target per 90 minutes, while in general this season, the 27-year-old is averaging an eye-catching 3.11 shots per 90.
Having not started during the week, Barnes is likely to be fresh and ready to play from the outset on Saturday, and if he does, he can test the home keeper, that’s for sure.

West Ham vs Brighton - Pervis Estupinan to Get a Card
Completing this +600 parlay is a bet on Brighton defender Pervis Estupinan to pick up a booking as his team travels to East London, where they’ll take on the Hammers.
The Colombian is an important player for Brighton and he regularly makes a positive contribution from his wide defensive berth, though he’s also no stranger to stepping outside of the rules.
Estupinan is one of Brighton’s most regular foulers this season, averaging 1.48 fouls per 90 minutes. It’s also worth noting that he tends to be more relentless in terms of fouls when Brighton play away from home, with no less than 14 of 16 fouls coming on the road.
If we factor in that Estupinan will likely be up against both Bowen and Kudus at times during this match, with those West Ham wide forwards regularly switching positions, which only bolsters his chances of getting a booking. Kudus and Bowen are West Ham’s two most prolific players in terms of drawing fouls.
All in all, there’s enough evidence to suggest that Estupinan should be a little generously priced to get a card on Saturday, so he goes down as the perfect way to round off this parlay bet.
