\n

First up, Manchester City lock horns with Liverpool in a juggernaut lunchtime encounter. before Arsenal travel to Brentford for a teatime derby showdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Man City vs Liverpool (Saturday, 12.30pm)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Bet 1: Over 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Manchester City signed off before the international break with a thrilling 4-4 draw away to Chelsea and the goals could also flow when they host Liverpool on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only a point separates leaders City and second-placed Liverpool in the league standings and that latest instalment in this modern rivalry should not disappoint.<\/p>\n

\n

Both sides are battling player absences with key defensive options missing in both camps from John Stones to Joe Gomez to Ibrahima Konate and that points to goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Each of City’s last six contests have featured over 2.5 goals and that is a decent first selection in the bet builder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bet 2: Mo Salah to score<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Erling Haaland’s availability for this fixture hangs in the balance, but one in-form forward will be looking to make his mark and Mo Salah is a great bet to find the net.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only Haaland (13) has bagged more Premier League goals than Salah (ten) in the Premier League this term and the Egyptian is scoring every 105 minutes in the top-flight.<\/p>\n

\n

He netted a brace in Liverpool’s final game against Brentford before the international break and is a worthwhile selection to find a way past the Citizens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bet 3: Rodri to be shown a card<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The midfield battle is likely to be key in this tussle at the Etihad and things will likely get heated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With that in mind, the cards could come out and Rodri is as good a bet as any to go into the book.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The defensive midfielder has committed 15 fouls in the league this term – the most in the Man City camp – and has already received four yellow cards, so he is a good selection to be cautioned.<\/p>\n

\n

Brentford vs Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30pm)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Bet 1: Arsenal to win<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It has not been plain sailing for Arsenal in the last month or so, but they won back-to-back matches against Sevilla and Burnley before the international break and can make it a hat-trick of wins when they face Brentford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Gunners could potentially go top of the league depending on the earlier result between Manchester City and Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brentford have blown hot and cold this season and have won only two of their six home fixtures in the league and they are worth opposing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bet 2: Both teams to score<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Arsenal have recorded respectable clean sheets against Sheffield United and Sevilla in the last month, but they have also been breached by West Ham, Newcastle and Burnley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And they are unlikely to keep out the hosts in their latest visit to the Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Bees have found the net in all six of their home Premier League fixtures this term and have failed to score in just one of their last six matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bet 3: Bukayo Saka to score<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only Eddie Nketiah (25) has managed more shots in the Premier League than Bukayo Saka (22) this term and Arsenal’s dangerous wideman can get on the scoresheet against Brentford.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Saka is a livewire on the flank and was among the scorers in Arsenal’s recent Champions League victory over Sevilla, so is worth a bet to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
