12.30pm: Manchester City v Liverpool

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

I think Liverpool can get something out of this. I think everyone would say that Manchester City have not been the same side as they were last season.

They’ve been vulnerable as we saw in that 4-4 game against Chelsea, when you go for it you always leave yourself open at the back. City are the top scorers on 32 goals and they’ve scored three or more in their last five in all competitions.

They’re scoring goals galore and have scored in 44 consecutive home games in all competitions so they’re formidable. But Liverpool, I haven’t said this in a long time, have the joint-best defence in the Premier League.

They’ve only conceded 10 goals, along with Arsenal, and have scored in each of their last 28 in all competitions, getting 71 goals. As you can see, these two teams are capable of scoring goals.

With Liverpool being that top heavy in terms of scoring goals, I think they can get something out of this game. So, I’m going for a 2-2 Draw with, obviously, Both Teams To Score.

In my Bet builder I’ve also got Erling Haaland to Score Anytime, he’s back in good form, and Mo Salah to Score Anytime as well. He’s scored in his last four appearances against City so that’s one to look out for.

Finally I’ve gone for Dominik Szoboszlai To Have 1 Or More Shots On Target. He scored two great goals for Hungary last week so he’ll be in fine fettle.

5.30pm: Brentford v Arsenal

TV: TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate

Brentford are doing really well. I know Liverpool beat them 3-0 a couple of weeks ago but they played quite well. They did cause Liverpool problems on the day.

The Bees are unbeaten in their last 14 London derbies so that tells me that they get up for these big local games. They’ve lost just two of their last 21 home Premier League games so they’re more than handy at home.

They’ve scored in each of their last 19 games in front of their own fans so they will score. If you’re thinking of a Bet Builder you’ve got to fancy them to score.

Arsenal have the best away defence in the Premier League, only conceding three on the road this season. They’ve got the joint-best overall defence with Liverpool as I mentioned.

I’m just going for Arsenal to Win this game, 2-1 so Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams To Score.

Also in my Bet Builder I’ve also got Eddie Nketiah to Score Anytime and Bukayo Saka To Have 1 Or More Shots On Target.
