Chelsea v Liverpool 17:30
We end the Saturday action with a huge game as Premier League heavyweights, Chelsea and Liverpool, lock horns at Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the season and make it 7 wins from 7 here, while Chelsea are still unbeaten with 5 wins and draw from their opening six matches.
The Reds can be backed at 2.75 to win the league before this round of games, while Chelsea are 12.00. However, with Man City playing at 3pm then these prices are sure to change by the time this 5:30pm match kicks-off.
The match betting is tight with Chelsea 2.87, the draw 3.50 and Liverpool 2.30 – it will probably be one of just two games this season that Chelsea won’t be favourites at home in the league!
Chelsea fans will, however, gain hope from the fact they won this fixture 1-0 last season and a repeat of that score can be backed at 13.00, while the Blues actually took 4 points off the Merseysiders last season too. It’s also worth pointing out that 4 of the last 7 head-to-heads have ended 1-1 so this popular scoreline is another to have on your radar at 7.50.
4 of the last 5 clashes went UNDER 2.5 GOALS so the 2.20 on offer here might appeal – despite both teams having a lot of firepower, they could very easily also cancel each other out.
However, the call here is for both teams to score. This bet has paid out in 7 of the last 8 head-to-heads, plus in 6 of the last 7 repeat fixtures so with that in mind the 1.53 on both sides finding the back of the net at least once makes plenty of appeal.
BEST BET: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE @1.53
