English Premier League actions returns from an international break and our focus on Saturday 's coupon is Arsenal's clash with Chelsea, Manchester City's home game against Brighton, Newcastle v Crystal Palace and the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton.
Liverpool 7/20 Draw 46/10 Everton 64/10
Liverpool return to action in fourth spot, 3 points off the pace being set by Spurs and Arsenal and 1 point shy of Manchester City. Having gone into the international break with a controversial 2-1 defeat at Spurs and a 2-2 draw at Brighton they return to Anfield where they are 3 league wins from 3, scoring 9 goals and conceding 2.
Everton gave themselves a timely boost with a 3-0 home win over Bournemouth just prior to the break. Their only other victory this season came in their most recent road trip, 3-1 at Brentford but in between those victories they went down 2-1 at home to Luton. With 7 points they are 3 clear of the drop zone.
The Verdict
Liverpool have managed to find the net 3 times in all 3 of their home games whilst Everton find clean sheets hard to find. I'll go with that trend to continue here.

Man City 4/10 Draw 4.35/1 Brighton 54/10
After winning their first 6 league matches City suffered back to back defeats in the EPL, going down 2-1 at Wolves and then 1-0 at Arsenal. They did win a UCL game 3-1 away to Leipzig in between those losses and they have won all 3 league games at the Etihad this season.
Brighton's 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool last time out was preceded by a 6-1 hiding off Villa in their most recent away fixture. They have 16 points, 2 shy of City and they have won in Manchester this season, 3-1 at United. All 8 of Brighton's league matches have seen backers of the combo over 3.5 goals/with both sides finding the net (yes) collect
The Verdict
A third straight league defeat would really pose questions about City but Brighton, whilst a very decent side, have conceded 8 goals in their last 2 matches and haven't kept a clean sheet all season.
I'll go with a City win with both sides finding the net.

Newcastle 9/20 Draw 3.56/1 Crystal Palace 6/1
A late equalizer for West Ham saw Newcastle have to settle for a 2-2 draw in London just before the international break and they now have a tally of 13 points. They had won their previous 3 league games and also thumped PSG 4-1 in the UCL at St. James Park and their only home defeat this season came against Liverpool in Gameweek 3.
Palace have been hit by injuries but they have kept 3 clean sheets in a row, 0-0 draws at home to Fulham and Forest and a 1-0 win away to Manchester United. They went into the break in ninth spot, 1 point and 1 place below their opponents here.
The Verdict
The Palace squad looks stretched however if they are to grab a goal here then Edouard would be the most likely source.

Chelsea 2.14/1 Draw 2.44/1 Arsenal 13/10
After a decidedly average start to the season Chelsea have found some form of late, beating Brighton 1-0 in an EFL Cup home fixture and then reeling off back to back away wins in the EPL, 2-0 at Fulham and 4-1 at Burnley. Chelsea's only 3 point haul at Stamford Bridge came against Luton (3-0) although they did play out a 1-1 draw with Liverpool here on the opening weekend.
Arsenal's 1-0 home win over Manchester City means they remain unbeaten in the league this season and with 6 wins and 2 draws they share top spot with Spurs who have a superior goal difference. The Gunners have won all 3 of their EPL road trips, at Palace and Everton (both 1-0) and at Bournemouth (4-0). They did go down 2-1 at Lens in the UCL, their only defeat of the season so far.
The Verdict
This looks a much stronger test for Arsenal than it would have done around 4 weeks ago and I'm going to have a nibble at a 1-1 draw in the correct score market.
