Liverpool will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign when they take on Crystal Palace at Anfield on Saturday.
The Reds have beaten Norwich, Burnley and Leeds United so far while also drawing with Chelsea.
Jurgen Klopp’s team on paper should pick up three points, but Palace secured an eye-catching 3-0 win over Tottenham last week.
Liverpool’s fixture with Palace is one of six Premier League games on Saturday, and we have tried to pick out some of our best bets ahead of an action-packed day.
Improved Palace May Make Life Tough for Klopp’s Men
Crystal Palace got their first win of the new season last week, and while we are not suggesting they will beat Liverpool, the evidence suggests they are improving under Patrick Vieira.
Defeats to Chelsea in the league and Watford in the EFL Cup indicate the Eagles are far from the finished article, but they may be able to keep Liverpool at bay for large parts of the game, especially with the Reds having played in the Champions League in midweek.
A Liverpool win and under 2.5 goals looks appealing at 3/1, with the Reds having won this fixture 2-0 last season.
City’s Stars to Punish Southampton
Reigning champions Manchester City are also in action as they host Southampton at the Etihad Stadium.
After losing their first game of the new campaign, City have since won four in a row, and they will be confident of making it five on home soil.
Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden appear to have shaken off injuries and could feature, while Southampton have yet to win a league game this season.
A home win and over 3.5 goals is available at 5/4, and it is a bet that has landed in two of the last three meetings between the two sides in Manchester.
Villa Should Push In-Form Everton All the Way
Everton will hope to maintain their fast start to life under manager Rafael Benitez when they travel to the Midlands to face Aston Villa.
Six points separate the two sides in the Premier League table, with Everton joint-top alongside Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Even though they are without a win in two league matches, Villa have shown they carry a serious goal threat despite the summer departure of Jack Grealish. With Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins up top, Villa will cause problems for any defence, but Everton are in form, and confidence is high.
It looks tough to pick a winner between these two sides, and over 2.5 goals is a bet to consider at 1/1, with the Toffees scoring ten goals in their first four league matches.
Saturday’s early kick-off sees Wolves host Brentford at Molineux, while at 15:00, Arsenal will try to win their second league game in a row when they travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley.
Saturday’s other fixture sees Norwich City and Watford do battle, with the Canaries still looking for their first point of the season.
*All odds correct at time of writing.
