Everton vs. Liverpool
The Merseyside Derby is Saturday’s early kick-off, a quick turnaround — less than 72 hours — from Liverpool's Champions League debut against Atletico Madrid last Wednesday, and it's bound to affect the sharpness of Arne Slot's players.
Liverpool vs Everton at Anfield rarely turns into a high-scoring spectacle, with only one in ten games having witnessed four or more goals — a 5-2 Reds win in December 2019.
If we ignore that game, this fixture averaged 1.33 goals per 90 from nine games hosted at Anfield. Mix that with Liverpool’s scheduling and their lack of potency in the final third in their most recent two Premier League games, and this line becomes inviting.
Pick: Under 2.5 Goals (+130)

Tottenham vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
Spurs’ newfound defensive solidity under Thomas Frank makes this matchup a very different proposition from the goal-laden affairs we're used to.
Since losing the Super Cup against PSG, Spurs have conceded just one goal in five matches. They have won 3-0 in two of those games, meaning this selection lost, but Brighton are capable of stopping Frank’s team from running riot. Brighton’s league matches so far this season have seen an average of 2.5 goals per game, with under 2.5 goals winning in two of their four league outings.
Therefore, we are backing under 2.5 goals as part of our Brighton vs Tottenham predictions.
Pick: Under 2.5 Goals (+120)

Crystal Palace vs. West Ham United
West Ham conceded eight goals across their first two home games and scored just one, making head coach Graham Potter the favorite to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked.
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in the league, but have won just one of their four matches. The departure of Eberechi Eze has hindered their attacking output. However, there is still plenty of attacking talent in the team, with the likes of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Daichi Kamada, who should soon find their stride.
Crystal Palace has lost just one of the last six head-to-heads between these sides, winning four. During that impressive run, the Eagles have scored 0.83 more goals per game than their opponents. Their last matchup — less than two weeks after Graham Potter took over the Hammers — ended in a 2-0 win for Palace, with West Ham limited to just 0.28xG
Pick: Crystal Palace To Win (+137)
