Matchweek Seven
Manchester United ($1.50) vs Everton ($7) – Saturday 2nd October @9:30pm AEST
Under pressure Manchester United welcome Everton to Old Trafford on Saturday at 9:30pm.
The Red Devils broke a three-game winning drought midweek after they defeated Villareal 2-1 in the Champions League, thanks to a late goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
But that victory will count for nothing if they fail to take three points against an Everton side who are level with United on 13 points after a strong start under new manager - and former Liverpool boss - Rafa Benitez.
Team News
Beleaguered United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could still be without captain Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, who both missed the Villareal game through injury. Though, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is available again after serving his suspension.
Prediction
This is simply a must-win match for the Red Devils as Everton will look to make life difficult. It should be tight.
Best Bets
Away Team To Score: Yes ($1.70)
Brighton ($2.87) vs Arsenal ($2.40) – Sunday 3rd October @3:30am DST
High-flying Brighton host a resurgent Arsenal at the Amex Stadium at 3:30am Sunday.
Graham Potter’s side are only one point behind Premier League leaders Liverpool following a strong start to the season.
Meanwhile, Arsenal continue to climb the table with three league wins on the bounce, with their last coming at the expense of north London rivals Tottenham in a 3-1 victory at the Emirates.
Team News
Arsenal have been dealt a major blow with midfielder Granit Xhaka being ruled out for up to three months with a knee injury he suffered against Spurs.
Prediction
Consistency remains key for the Gunners and this fixture will present a real challenge for Mikel Arteta’s men, who have been dealt some kind fixtures of late.
Best Bets
Match Result: Brighton ($2.87)
Liverpool ($2.80) vs Manchester City ($2.37) – Monday 4th October @2:30 am DST
League leaders Liverpool take on league champions Manchester City at Anfield on Monday morning.
The Reds remain the only team unbeaten this season, though they did drop points against Brentford last week in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s inconsistent season continued over the last week, impressively beating Chelsea 1-0 away at Stamford Bridge, only to lose to PSG 2-0 midweek in the Champions League.
Team News
Liverpool are likely to be without right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold following a muscle injury sustained against Brentford last weekend.
City will be without midfielder Ilkay Gundogan and full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko who are still recovering from injuries.
This should be an entertaining, end-to-end contest, with hopefully plenty of goals. However, Liverpool’s more consistent form line suggests they’ll get the job done.
Best Bets
Match Result: Liverpool ($2.80)
