Everton FC vs Liverpool FC - Saturday, September 3rd, 2022

The Toffees look to regain a bit of magic heading into matchday five against their in-town rivals, Liverpool.

Everton sneakily avoided relegation last season and have a score to settle in this one.

Only scoring two points in four games, Everton has circled this one as an important game that could define the rest of their season.

Frank Lampard is still missing his star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and his status for the derby is unknown to this point.

After having a miracle end to last year, Lampard has to once again assemble his troops and try to wrestle out of the mud.

Talent is definitely not the issue for Everton and there is loads of ability in both sets of positions.

Liverpool is coming off an absolute freak of a victory against Bournemouth, scoring nine goals and conceding none.

Jurgen Klopp’s men are feeling ecstatic after a must-win game at home, but many expected it to go that way.

That week four match could be a pivotal one when looking back on the season, giving Liverpool their mojo back in the best way possible.

Although traveling to Everton is always going to be tough, Liverpool will fancy their chances in a hostile environment with their own supporters backing them across the pond.

Look for Luis Diaz and Mohammed Salah to exploit any defensive mistakes and lead this team to victory.

Betting Prediction - Liverpool spread -1.5 goals and the over asian total on goals as well!

Manchester United FC vs Arsenal FC - Sunday, September 4th, 2022

A hugely anticipated match between two of the biggest football clubs in the world is set to take place this Sunday at the Old Trafford.

Manchester United are finally picking up form in the best way, picking up two wins in matches where they absolutely needed to perform.

Erik Ten Hag’s side is finally learning how to play football with one another and that is huge if this team wants to contend in the near future.

Although fans and players of the club may not be in the best state mentally at this point, there is something to be said about the quality of team play involved in both of their wins and they will feel like they have a good shot at handing the Gunners their first loss this season.

On the flip side, Arsenal continues to be dominant in the Premier League.

Four games up and four games down, the London club continues to show and find ways to win games.

Mikel Arteta is supremely happy with their performances up to this point, but the schedule is about to get harder.

Away at Old Trafford isn’t a fixture that is normally easy to win, and Arsenal will once again need to find ways to score goals and defend with tenacity.

Betting Prediction - Under 2.5 goals in a match which may see tactical genius triumph over fast-paced play.
